Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sulfuric Acid isn't ideal for dissolving bodies, because it doesn't dissolve bones well. It has many legitimate uses such as water purification, which the article points out.
Honestly with all the terrible shit we know happened, I don't understand the urge to turn this into an episode of Dexter. Is child-abuse island it not interesting enough?
You ever see piranha solution go to work? It's fucking terrifying...
All it is is sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide...
The precipitate from dissolving flesh and bone in it is water, carbon dioxide, and gypsum. Dump what's left in the ocean and the gypsum will dissolve. Alternately, and sickeningly more likely if all this shit is true, is that gypsum has a ton of practical uses, drywall and cosmetics being a few...
with all the low quality gypsum board on the market these days this is one way to guarantee high quality gypsum drywall.
See the Edit to my post...
Jeeze...
If they'd watched Breaking Bad they'd know you'd want to use hydrofluoric acid
Given that Republican accusations tend to be admissions, in combination with the Qanon stuff about democrat baby eating demon cults... I think people are expecting there to be kernels of truth to some of the more murderous stuff.
Supposedly the Breaking Bad producers intentionally chose an acid that wouldn't work.
Smart.
If you've ever used hydrofluoric acid, you'd know why you don't want to use hydrofluoric acid.
Fair point. I was just making Television jokes
Hope it didn't come across as a "hey idiot" kind of remark, more jokes are typically a good thing. It's one of those substances where I try to maintain a healthy level of discomfort so I don't settle into bad habits and complacency. I have done unwise things with other hazardous materials before but that one gets all the personal protective equipment.
No it didn't. I fully had no clue tho.
And then if they'd watched Mythbusters they'd know it's actually hard to quickly dissolve a body because of how heterogeneous our parts are, pH-wise
So I just saw a thing where Epstein compares young women to shrimp in a 2013 email. "Some are like shrimp. You throw away the head and keep the body."
I feel like it's being born out of that sense that there's more to the story.
Seems pretty clear we don't know the whole story yet and given what we already know, it makes sense that the rest is worse.
People are also trying to deal with the "jerky" comments. And I guess he ordered that acid around the time he found out about a new FBI investigation?
Its not about it being an episode of anything, its horrible. Its that this is a world wide trafficking ring. Do you think there arent bodies?...Where would they put them? I mean if some serial killers could murder tons as just one person.. imagine a world wide ring that's been going on for decades now.. no way there arent any bodies at all. I mean... Come on....

You're still thinking too small. They don't have to hide bodies, they pay people to do that. He had several gynaecologists on payroll he sent girls to, so may have had corroners and others too.
Dump them off a boat 10 mins from shore?
Like the mysterious hatch was probably for stealthy entrances and exits. Dumping bodies would habituate sharks/etc to hang out down there /nearby I'd imagine; and that doesn't seem useful.
Useful if you wanted to put frickin “lasers” on their heads!
Bannon apparently had a tub of acid in his apartment.
I mean, we all have a tub of acid in our homes, right? Nothing to see here.
