    I’m pretty sure that Ethan Hunt himself did a HALO jump into Kyiv, disguised himself as Zelensky and removed the prosecutor with EXTREME PREJUDICE!;)

    l.o.l.

    AllTransWorld is in a perpetual state of triggered. He is literally "triggered" by his social media feed to post "trans", "woke", "radical left" tweets 24-7. It's both sad and hilarious.

    We've gotten to the point where the low iq magaTs don't even watch videos. These clowns now rely on summaries provided by their social media influencers. Genuinely speaking @Salvy you are one of the dumbest people on these forums. That's nothing what Pelosi said. Go watch the full clip and come back here.

    Imagine telling a random American who's not connected to political stuff at all that a TRUMP APPOINTED US attorney somehow is carrying water for biden against Trump.

    Any normal human being would ask you, "why the **** did trump nominate him?!!"

    It's so funny the amount of conspiracies you've bought into. Joe biden could've fired the trump us attorney looking into Hunter but he kept him on. Biden could've fired the trump appointed fbi director but he didn't. Biden had a democratic senate and could've appointed anyone.

    You can keep spinning all your braindead conspiracies but if biden wanted to cover it up he could've easily fired the US attorney looking into it. He never did

    If biden wanted to interfere HE CAN FIRE THE US ATTORNEY DIRECTLY LOL. Good God you're so dumb man. Jesus christ

    Before Trump left office he assigned the case to a trump appointed us attorney. Get that in your head

    Biden Administration Rule Would Ban Nearly All Portable Gas-Powered Generators

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/biden...n=ZeroHedge&src_src=partner&src_cmp=ZeroHedge

    After seeking to reduce the use of gas stoves, the Biden administration is pushing a proposal to ban the sale of almost all portable gas generators—which some experts have said would be disastrous for the millions of Americans who rely on such generators during power outages.

    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has proposed a policy (pdf) that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market. The new rule restricts the amount of carbon monoxide that generators can emit by forcing these generators to switch off when they reach a certain level of emissions.

    Smaller gas generators would have to cut carbon monoxide emissions by 50 percent, and larger generators would have to cut emissions by up to 95 percent. Nearly all models currently available are expected to not be in compliance with the new standard.

    Once the proposed rules come into effect, manufacturers would have to comply with them in just six months, a process that usually takes several years. The rules would also ban manufacturers from stockpiling noncompliant generators before the new standards are enacted.


    In a June 28 press release, Susan Orenga, executive director of the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association, pointed out that CPSC’s proposal will “create a shortage of essential portable generators during regional and national emergencies because it will prevent the sale of portable generators that are currently available on the market.”

    “Furthermore, the timing of the CPSC’s proposed changes are particularly concerning, given repeated warnings that two-thirds of North America is currently facing an energy shortfall this summer during periods of high demand,” she said

    I saw this yesterday, that would put a major hurt on folks who use a generator off-grid

    Safety is smart, not madness. This was coming and long overdue, but with any regulation, there is usually a period for phase-in. The article mentions no such period, probably because it’s in draft form or perhaps mentioning it would defeat the “madness.”

    If this becomes another stupid cry by the right against sensible safety-forward technology (btw, suppressing carbon monoxide is decade old tech), which is almost certain in this current era of outrage over everything, it will delay smart regulation for safety and result in deaths similar to what Texas saw during the last arctic blast that caused extensive, multiple days of power outage.

    that's part of why they're doing it

    they want you reliant on the centralized grid

    gas = self-sovereignty

    "The CPSC previously estimated that reducing generators’ carbon monoxide emissions would add about $115 to the manufacturing cost of most units, which typically sell for $500 to $1,500." That's gonna translate into a pretty substantial retail cost to the consumer

    You magically forgetting about the inflation reduction act which included subsidies for homeowners to switch to energy efficient appliances. There's money for homeowners to switch all sorts of appliances and windows.

    I sincerely don't understand how you got your teaching certification.

    Reminder to @Astrodome @Salvy @bigtexxx @Commodore to any right winger on these message boards that wants to wager on the 2024 election please do shoot me a DM. I know you folks claim that trump will win the eleciton so please put your money where your mouth is.

    Im willing to wager in any form you folks want to. We can wager in gift cards, cash, clutchfans contributions, rockets tickets, etc,. Whatever form of payment or currency you folks want to use is perfectly okay with me. Please shoot me a dm so we can work out the details if you're interested.

    Im willing to wager literally any sum of money with you folks and would draw up a legally binding contract if youre concerned about payment. Please put your wallet where your mouth is @bigtexxx

    Here is the docket if anyone is interested: CPSC–2006–0057. And here is some of the background on the proceeding. Here's what I think was interesting. The Commission issued a notice of rulemaking way back in 2006 to address the issue of carbon monoxide poisonings. Then they partnered wth a university to study the problem and possible solutions. Ten years later, in 2016 Staff (the Commission has 4 or 5 commissioners appointed by presidents and confirmed by the Senate who vote on rulemaking, but they have Staff, who are the employees who do the work) drafted proposed rules on requirements that could make generators safer. There was a comment period in 2016 where manufacturers and other interested parties submitted ideas, objections, tweaks, and other comments to the agency. No final rulemaking was issued then, but instead the industry instituted new voluntary standards in 2018. After a period of data collection, in 2022 Staff presented findings to the Commissioners. So now the Commission is issued an updated proposed rulemaking that builds on the voluntary standards from the industry (which were supposedly better than the ones in the 2016 proposed rulemaking). That came out in April and comments on this new version were due in June. The industry seems to lament that the comment period was too short, but warns of unintended consequences, like the overheating of generators. Next steps, Staff will review comments and propose a final rulemaking that incorporates the feedback they got and the Commission will vote on it. The current commission has 1 Trumper and 3 Democrats.

    Point of all that is: this is not a conspiracy to make everyone a slave to the communist electric grid in some climate change boondoggle. This started way back in the Bush Admin for totally apolitical reasons -- because people were running generators inside their homes and poisoning themselves with carbon monoxide. It's just boring bureaucratic stuff to make a product safer than market forces seem to be accomplishing. I did not see the portable generator industry say it was going to put them out of business -- their complaints are smaller and more nuanced, like it puts upward pressure on price and will depress sales; or that the number of lives saved is wrong because of incorrect assumptions. In other words, shareholder value may take a dip, but the industry will be okay and people will be able to buy (safer but maybe more expensive) generators.
