We have a pipeline here in PA that will be carrying extremely volatile fracking waste liquids from the fields to the port, to transport overseas to be made into single use plastics, making Sunoco/ @EnergyTransfer billions of dollars. Not a dime for PA taxpayers. 1/
Sunoco made the decision to put no odor into this fluid, so no one will know if there is a leak. This liquid does not rise like gas, it sits on the ground. It is invisible. There is a 5 mile blast zone, that's how bad it is. There is no emergency plan because it is impossible

🔥In part, FDA based its judgment on the prior marketing history of a similar product (marketing created by Richard Sackler and Purdue Pharma), MS Contin, a controlled-release formulation of morphine
approved by FDA and used in the medical community since 1987 without significant reports of abuse and misuse.

The elusive millionaire Svetlana Krivonogikh lives in Saint Petersburg. She is lavished with gifts by friends of Putin and her daughter bears an uncanny resemblance to the head of state. Her story also reveals the real owner of Bank Rossiya
Bank Rossiya disclosed in 2010 that she was one of its biggest shareholders through her company OOO Relax. The St. Petersburg-based bank would later be subject to sanctions by the U.S. Treasury, which labeled it the “personal bank for senior officials of the Russian Federation.”

Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel.
I think he might be in trouble if true
Milley, chosen by Trump in 2018, believed the president had suffered a mental
