Senate Passes Bill Exposing Saudi Arabia to 9/11 Legal Claims
This is so fucking absvrd it is almost as bad as giving Charlie Sheen a real estate empire and a trucker hat and letting him run for president on a platform of &quot;winning so much America might get bored&quot;.<p>A decade and a half later, e.g. 15 fucking years after a terrorist attack we would allow people to sue a nation state because they may have played a role. Well guys, better suit up for the inbound lawsuits you would be fielding from the entire world if this precedent was set, and if it wasn&#x27;t a bizarre farcical attempt at mastubatory populism* by Chuck Schumer. Except it is just that. It will never happen, and it is rediculous. 9&#x2F;11 was fucking absurd, and we still don&#x27;t know what the fuck happened. I mean, I don&#x27;t want to go 100% jetfuel can&#x27;t melt steel beams, but tower 7 just didn&#x27;t suffer any structural damage, at all. So, does it make sense for some families to sue 15 years later, a country, of which some people <i>may</i> have contributed to this? Nah.<p>It took fucking 6-7 years [<i>and I want to be super fucking clear that I believe this and it is not sarcasm</i>] to compile a several hundred page manual on what the fuck happened to tower 7. Tower 7, as a reresher, was the tower that spontaneously dropped to the floor and did the worm even though it didn&#x27;t get hit by that plane that crashed in pennsylvania. So, if you can&#x27;t figure out why tall buildings are falling down after 3&#x2F;4 of a decade, how the fuck are you going to let people sue a nationstate for the actions of individuals and not only prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, but then apply some sort of metric to this to quantify it financially.<p>Shockingly, Chuck Schumer is up for reelection in 2016. Also, as an aside (and this was true when I did the math a couple months ago) more people died from the auto-erotic asphyxiation than were either killed or rendered severely handicapped from the Zika virus.<p>WTF is going on.<p>* Sean Penn said a phrase like this and I fucking love it.<p>edit: While the downvotes make sense, I challenge someone to disprove the following:<p>* This is strictly political posturing by Chuck Schumer and will never pass &amp; was never inteneded to.<p>* The concept of holding a country responsible for something like this, if applied to America, would certainly outweigh any positive it would have for the families of 9&#x2F;11 victims.<p>* Tower 7 was fucking pulled. I know it. The core of engineers know it. And the fundamental laws of physics demand it.
