I really think you need to show our elected government officials proper and due respect. It is disrespectful to call someone by their first name. It juvenalizes them. Nicknames are totally disrespectful. For example, "Secretary Poopswimmer’s — ongoing war on science ..." His name and title is "Secretary (of the Department of Health and Human Services) Poopswimmer J. Brainworm". "Poopy" is right out.
I look at the people who are espousing this kind of pseudo-scientific garbage and think of the corollary that people like Elno and the *bunch of old ladies* who ransacked the Capitol are the ones who think they're the Übermenschen this time around.
The CPSC does work and provides reports that are crucial for the line of work I'm engaged in, which includes providing paralegal services for plaintiffs' attorneys in products liability cases.
how does one check to see if the three year old bath fixture i bought off amazon is able to block xray vision. also i would be greatly interested in purchasing an ice chest that doesn't smash the shit out of my fingers. i was unaware such a product existed.
"Donald Trump fired, without cause, three members of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission who were appointed by Democratic presidents, in a move toward eliminating the agency altogether. Never mind that, under current law, he can’t legally do that to Senate-confirmed members of an independent commission."
* Sorry Dok, but I think you may be a bit confused as to what "CPSC" actually stands for: Corporate Profitmaking Safety Commission (or is it Corporate Protection of Stakeholders Commission?);
* The Fulvous Fuckwad has been trying to eliminate every agency that stands in the way of the moneyed class raping the rest of us;
* Mooseballs Mussolini has a goal of ridding the US of every agency (congressionally created or otherwise) that tries to exert the oversight they were tasked with;
* He doesn't give a rat's ass if he can legally fire Senate-approved commissioners of independent agencies, he's been doing it since 12:01 PM, 20 Jan 2025;
* The Amber Ardipithecus ramidus has been trying to fire (or intimidate) employees of the other two coequal branches of government with a focus on the Judicial branch, targeting the clerks of "Radical Leftist Judges," "Activist Judges," or any other court he deems insufficiently America First, MAGA unfriendly, stands in opposition to his enacting and enforcing his perverted wet dreams, and attempting to impeach any officer of the courts that he considers more loyal to the country and Constitution than to him personally.

"The CPSC is the agency that makes sure that the products we buy won’t kill or injure us, with the power to recall unsafe products
...
actually, now that we think about it, it probably isn’t just manufacturers of dangerous shit who want to get rid of the CPSC."
During the regime of the Mango Malignancy, the CPSC has had its raison d'être reversed.
No longer does the CPSC look out for the safety of those of us who's voices get lost in the wilderness of the marketplace; those of us who can't afford a lawyer when our five year old swallows a removable piece of a toy and has to go to the ER because they're choking . It's now looking out for those that produce the shit dangerous to use: "We told you that the product you bought *might* be dangerous, and since you ignored our warnings and went ahead and bought it anyway your rights to sue the manufacturers and retailers for damages are now null and void."

"Commissioner Robert Trumka Jr., who was appointed by Joe Biden, said in a letter shortly after his shitcanning"
To give the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster the benefit of the doubt (something, as a rule, I rarely do since he's so blatant in his criminalities), maybe he was confusing *Robert* Trumka with the late *Richard* Trumka. Richard was Secretary-General of the AFL-CIO, the largest American union... and the Pumpkin Pestilence holds no truck for organized labor.

"Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar posted video of a little girl who explained that when she was a baby, she was poisoned by “water beads,” a toy product that has sent thousands of kids to emergency rooms because they’re both a choking hazard and can contain dangerous substances."
The CPSC has been the leader in trying to prevent situations like this, which is why the RINOs want to kill it for their Corporate donor class. An example of CPSC's preventative actions:
> "Name of Product: Colorful Metal Neodymium Magic Magnetic Balls - 8 color, 5mm Hazard:
CPSC testing determined the magnetic ball sets do not comply with the requirements of the mandatory federal toy regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death." https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/XpressGoods-Recalls-High-Powered-Magnetic-Balls-Due-to-Ingestion-Hazard-Failure-to-Meet-Federal-Safety-Regulation-for-Toy-Magnet-Sets
I have polycystic kidney disease. My kidneys failed. I went on dialysis. I had a kidney transplant. I’m entirely dependent on modern medicine to keep me alive.
One thing I noticed, as my health got worse and there wasn’t anything I could do about it was people really want to believe they are in control of their lives, especially their health.
I got a lot of well intentioned unsolicited and often kooky medical advice about things I might to try do to get better. It always related to people’s belief they have to be in control of their lives. It’s hard to accept losing that control.
These soft eugenicists are not well intentioned friends and family, who despite lacking expertise and giving silly advice, were always in favor of following professional medical advice.
They give out bad advice, because like most people the idea of not being in control is scary, but also because they want to not have any responsibility if people with health problems die. They want to live in their bubble where they think they are in control of everything. Anything that interferes with this gets attacked, even if it means vulnerable people die.
The Ukrainian "дике поле" transliterates to "dyke pole," but the actual translation is "Wild Field," which refers to the Pontic steppe region above the Black and Azov Seas, between the rivers Dnister and Don.

I find the Republican emphasis fetus pro life, and allowing their children to juggle running chainsaws a little confusing.

Now my head hurts.
Who voted for more dangerous products?
Everybody who voted Republican after about 1920.
Ta, Dok. I. Just. Can't. Even.

I hope you are doing better. The illness sounds painful and difficult. Best to you!

Because they're the first vulgar comedians in any military ever. This is an entirely new thing and must be stopped at all cost. /s

SNL always spelled it Mainway, according to Bag O' Facts:
