Trump fought law requiring retrofit of sprinklers in New York City high-rises

A proposed 1998 law that would have required developers to install sprinklers in existing residential towers is back in the news, after a deadly fire in Trump Tower over the weekend

Twenty years ago, now-President Donald Trump played a key role in lobbying against a law that would have required older residential buildings in New York City to be retrofitted with sprinkler systems. Fire safety experts have pointed out that such a sprinkler system could have mitigated the deadly effect of this weekend’s Trump Tower fire that killed one person on Saturday evening.

A four-alarm fire broke out on the 50th floor of Midtown’s Trump Tower in the apartment where 67-year-old art collector and dealer Todd Brassner lived. It is unclear what sparked the blaze, which also injured six firefighters. There were no sprinklers installed in Brassner’s 50th floor unit.

Fire experts agree that sprinklers have proved critical for saving lives in New York City’s high-rise fires.

WE NEED TO START IMPEACHMENT NOW. WE CANNOT WAIT.

If McConnell says he will not even VOTE on House-passed legislation - not even VOTE on it...

IRS breaking law to conceal taxes...

MINORITY committee members threatening the accounting firm to intimidate and scare them into not complying with MAJORITY'S legal demand for the taxes...

Barr covering up the Mueller report...

Trump using twitter to put out hits on Democratic Members of Congress...

Little or no media coverage of House-passed legislation...

WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

POLITICALLY AND MORALLY WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

I don't care about "it won't pass the Senate." PASS IT IN THE HOUSE.

GET ALL THE EVIDENCE OUT TO THE PUBLIC IN THE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS AND FORCE THE MEDIA TO COVER IT.

While we run our pressure campaign against vulnerable GOP Senators like Collins and Cornyn, up in 2020.


IF PELOSI DOES NOT PURSUE IMPEACHMENT NOW the base will become demoralized. Why did we work so hard for the blue wave in 2018 if you CAN'T CONDUCT OVERSIGHT AND CAN'T LEGISLATE?! UNACCEPTABLE.

MUST ACT ON IMPEACHMENT NOW. THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE.

talking point I like: "What costs more, the Green New Deal - or the Space Force?"

why are we spending even one penny on a Space Force
