Tear gas is fucking tear gas. there is no "Very safe form." It burns your eyes, it makes you choke, it makes you want to escape the horror of burning eyes and the inability to take a breath.
Donald Trump said that a "very safe form of tear gas" was used against women and children down at the Mexican border. And, oh yeah, it wasn't the U.S. side of the border. American border control agents (not the U.S. military) fired tear gas at people on the Mexican side of border. And that shit spreads for hundreds of yards.
"President" Trump, there is no such thing as a "very safe form of tear gas," you ignorant, evil prick. If you actually believe your own lie, try it out on yourself.
The America we believed existed is no more. Someway, somehow, we must get this horrible human-like creature out of the White House. And we must rid ourselves of the criminal organization, that calls themselves the Republican Party and stands behind the criminal no matter what.
"VERY SAFE FORM OF TEAR GAS." No decent human being can allow this to stand.

By the way the gas masks at Parris Island are not very good (or they were not in 1980).
Would Trump and his buddy Sean Hannity like to give it a go?
If 15 year olds are willing to do it, these two warriors should have no problem.

(182,788 posts)Once in civilian life and once in the Army (a standard of basic training). It's horrible. The feeling of your skin peeling off and your eyes bleeding is just part of it. The feeling that you aren't breathing immediately leads to panic. I've never been near drowning but it has to be close to that BUT you know you are are standing in open air which makes it worse.

He really needs to be dragged from office in a straight jacket. But it ain't gonna' happen.
So fasten your seat belts, pray to whatever universal being or spaghetti monster you believe in, eat, snort or inhale some weed, and hope for the best.
As for me, I've turned off nighttime TV and am enjoying Michelle Obama's book, "Becoming." It's filled with what we all need right now. Inspiration, hope and courage.
