[Jesus X]

International fascists retire there as well. Bolsonaro comes to mind.

Yup its like disneyland for fascists. Cubans, Venezuelans, Brazilians the works. Any fascist you can imagine exist they are in Florida preparing for a coup in the event socialists win an election in their respective country.

All it took was once foreign influenced tiktok campaign and conservatives just can't stop talking about squatters.


You guys are so easy to subvert.

Hey, they're working on serious issues.
Remember when they took the leap from the government coming out with a study saying improperly vented hoods can cause health issues in kids, to the government was going to take away your gas stoves.
Well, the House is striking while the iron is hot, will be looking at bills such as Hands off Our Home Appliances Act, Liberty in Laundry Act, Clothes Dryers Reliability Act, Refrigerator Freedom Act, and the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act.

Imagining a coke fueled singalong of "Be Prepared" with Bolsanaro and Jose Aldo.

Hey, I'm a Fascist sociopath who supports Israel, has LGBTQ friends and listens to Taylor Swift songs whenever I get the chance.

The world is a confusing place right now, my dude.

Shame on you, Templar. Shame on you!!!

I don't really see the problem.
I just opened the link to "Clothers dryer reliability" and this was the summary-

To prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing or enforcing energy conservation standards for clothes washers that are not cost-effective or technologically feasible, and for other purposes.

Whats your issue with this bill? It saves consumers money. Maybe its not so important as homeland security or other issues but it protects the consumer. Whats the issue? Its form the House Committee of Energy and Commerce. This is what they are for. Do you want government to force you to buy overpriced junk that doesn't work? Is that what you're saying?

 

[Seano]

double

 

[Seano]

Literally doing their job. Horrors.

Well someone needs to stand up for those appliances. Discrimination against minorities? Hasn’t been an issue in decades and there’s no need for further conversation. Discrimination against appliances? A major issue that requires several bills to address.

What bill should the house energy and commerce committee put forth to help black and trans folks?

If Republicans are really worried about the costs associated with washers and dryers, they should be talking about repealing the tariff's that Trump put on them.

How far shall we move the goalposts to make your post make sense?

Not a single one until all appliances are equal in this country.

Good thing we have committees specifically for both issues. Nice to see one is actually doing their job.

Well, Seano, Americans are having problems affording the price of those washers and dryers now. Today.
If my washer or dryer died today, I'm more worried about the price I'm paying at the register than some future boogeyman that Republicans made up. The House could help out millions of Americans tomorrow by removing the Trump tariff on those appliances.
The House is doing normal Republican things. Make up a new boogeyman, stir the base up, "fix" the boogeyman issue, and declare victory. Just like when they were going to take away gas stoves. Remember DeSantis coming out multiple times against a gas stove ban, yet no one was suggesting it?

Very snide and catty, indeed.
The committee is doing the job they are supposed to do. You picked a bunch of bills completely unrelated to this issue being discussed in the thread and act like this is what government in Florida is doing in lieu of the things you say. THIS is their job. They're not the committee on race relations, they're not trans activists. They are on the committee of energy and commerce.
Let me ask you, do you actually believe there are no bills about race and minorities being introduced by the committees actually charged with doing so? That literally all the government is talking about is washing machines? Please. I never really understand the intentional stupidity argument. It makes you look worse.
