Ok, that is fair. They certainly advertise to their manipulation of science in the advancement of public interest.

Nah, I've heard that. I'm just thinking in terms of the industry execs.

My working hypothesis is that the industry would love to have engineering constraints to add to their machines so they can charge more for a relatively simple device.

Whirlpool has its own PAC and donated $40k or so in the 2022 cycle. Browse Receipts | FEC Home | Lobbying Disclosure (senate.gov)

Reading up on the one PAC that comes up in my duckduckgo search is the Home Appliance PAC PAC Profile: Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers • OpenSecrets They don't appear to be a going concern. That said. The Home Depot CEO appears to have a bone to pick with the idea that dishwashers are not providing nuclear reactor temperature water at speed.

Are the industry groups (Whirlpool execs?) seriously asking for these bills? That seems debatable. Seems more likely that these crybabies, cranks and sexual deviants are making crap up about the appliance industry to further their own weird agendas.

Must be nice for Putin to have these idiots rushing to accelerate the end times

Both are bad. Trump being suspected of at a minimum being a "useful idiot" agent of influence for the Russians is much worse.

Trump is running his own foreign policy while not serving as President. This is bad.

Judge Jeanine is probably upset that she had a person who didn't personally vouchsafe for Trump on her show.

Another question: do you refer to homosexuals as "preeverts"?

I personally wondered why it asked if we liked Scott Baio as an actor.

I love, love the passion. The younger voters who seem to take it all for granted need to get off their fixation on the latest outrages spewed to them by the Tik-Tok algorithm and see that the clear and present danger is the 6 inches in front of their face.

Its fun to give DJT a hot potato like Gaza is for Joe.

The really interesting part is that he's still being sued for the act. Should be interesting to see Trump take up his case like he did Eddie Gallagher after the Navy special ops community begged him to be kicked out of the Navy. Trump likes celebrities and he loves violence against non-whites.

that picture makes it look like the grandstands are on fire and Cobb and Wagner did it.

He's going to have a place at Mar-A-Lago if Trump ever gets of prison and still has any assets to spend on bodyguards because as we have seen, Trump always takes good care of the little people who help him through small acts of generosity and noblesse oblige. If Trump wins he can be SECDEF.

Boy, the presidential immunity ruling really will be the point of demarcation on the continued health of the Republic.

Plus some of them were alive during the holocaust and when we fought dictatorships , so we don’t want those folks with their fuzzy memories about the virtues of one party rule messing things up

Very jealous that the Pirates and Orioles are so strong. We seem to have hit a snag on our path to rebuilding.

I’ve always been power worship phobic. I hate bullies and i always found the sort of NCOs who sit around dipping and drinking and talking about giving their troops hell are worthless as humans.

So, when George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin I was thinking George Zimmerman was possibly in the right because I listened to those who framed it that way. Then we found out that George Zimmerman was a smooth-brained, sloped-forheaded ass who cherished the Confederate flag and seemed to always be in violent confrontations. But Kyle Rittenhouse who failed to get into the USMC during a global war on terror and seems to love cops and think they never do wrong -- and thinks shooting people who are protesting is cool -- is probably just being unfairly maligned. There would be a place for Rittenhouse -- working for the BOP -- gooning it up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in the black body armor, with the face shields.

The red flags are pretty red right now.

so, taking from the fixer David Hancock the thread about Rittenhouse is that he is the poster boy for MAGA, Jan6, Proud Boys, etc. Namely, he's an entitled idiot with violent tendencies.
