Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Politics is not for the frangible, as Ben Carson is finding out.

No pushing at the door please!

A frangible bullet is one that is designed to disintegrate into tiny particles upon impact to minimize their penetration for reasons of range safety, to limit environmental impact, or to limit the danger behind the intended target.

SinterFire makes the world’s best frangible, lead-free ammo, which is great if you want to practice for a potential zombie apocalypse at home (with a silencer) but avoid lead residue.

Okay, that was no fun; how about:

A man’s frangible heart is the Achilles heel of his fungible human condition.

I am not a big fan of frangible .223 or .308 ammunition, but I haven’t really shot a whole lot of it. It just doesn’t seem to have the range I like, and I had to make a bunch of adjustments the few times I’ve used it.

[xsmommy]

Frangibility in affairs of the heart...

Some types of race cars are designed to be somewhat frangible to shed energy away from the driver capsule in the event of a wreck.

speaking of frangible, did you see this idiocy? unreal. she needs to be identified and humiliated for that ridiculous outburst.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Fitting!

[Travis T. OJustice]

She chose Yale, in Nuevo Havena, a sanctuary city, and expected to find a “safe space”? Hah! She’s a forkin IDIOT.

There’s a huge difference between education and intelligence.

[SoothingDave]

It’s like Michele Obama on steroids. Frankly, I have completely closed ears to any claims of racism now. I’m done. There is no way that students at Yale or Missouri are facing daily, institutional racism. They are completely deluded.

Speaking of such, did you see the @KevinNR situation? A Daily Kos writer claiming he’s black and trying to “pass.” Ludicrous.

and do you know that the entire brouhaha is over HALLOWEEN COSTUMES, and not offensive Halloween costumes, but the POTENTIAL FOR offensive Halloween costumes. THAT is what has this dimwit SHRIEKING at this guy, who clearly has no balls for putting up with that treatment.
