What a total waste of time & OUR TAX MONEY! Why is this hearing even happening? Was there more to the hearing other than Republicans whining because company’s don’t want to advertise on toxic stations & newspapers? Jesus! Get something done for the American people already you bunch of whiney punk a** b*tches!

Most people don't like Nazis or other screaming right-wing lunatics and companies know this. It hurts their brands, sales, and stock prices if their ads appear in proximity to fascistic, bigoted, terroristic conspiratorial, or other right-wing content. Stockholders who want to make money prefer the company to advertise in brand safe spaces.

I see Dove ads all the time but sometimes they have brown people on so I'm sure he changes the station,

I wonder if Gym Jordan always made sure there were bars of Dove soap in the soap holders next to the shower faucets for the OSU wrestlers he was watching over.

Do YOU advertise on The View, Wonkette? Well, do you?

You know The View, that "left-leaning" outlet all the ladies watch before lunch with their gay friends, if they're lucky enough to have them. The View, that place where Jim Jordan wishes he could hang out, if only his invitation would ever arrive in the snail mail...

He's still waiting.

I know that Repubs have some weird sexual hang-ups, but an obsession with Dove soap is a new one.

So Dove body wash, lotion and deodorant definitely advertise, because I've seen them. Dove even had ads with women of all different sizes and ethnicities, and did differently shaped bottles as well (I don't know what the point of that was). But I guess those ads were too woke for the magazines Rulli's family reads.

So - it's wrong and a violation of God's Galactic Law for the federal government to force innocent bakeries to make cakes for TEH GHEY, but it's not only okay but a major issue Congress MUST address if Dove decides not to associate themselves with bigots and fascists. "It's so UNFAIR!" cry the people who claim not to care about fairness.

God's Galactic Law. Thanks. I was looking for a name for my harmonica, accordion, and bagpipe chamber ensemble.

There are many products that don't advertise because they don't have to. They have been part of American culture and American households for over a century. When is the last time that you've seen and for Saltine Crackers? I don't know that I've ever seen one, but I do know that there's a box in the cupboard.

But, by jiminy, when tfg wins those ads for Saltines better start showing up on every Reich Wing website, publication, and billboard or those executive heads will start a-rollin'. That's the 'Murican way, you betcha.

Fun fact.

After seeing that clip, I went to the House's website to find Lulli's district to see exactly how gerrymandered it is. Clicked on the Members menu, then by last name, went to the L's.

It's not there. The election was June 11. A month later, his info still isn't listed on the website.

The list goes from Luetkemeyer, Blaine (R-Missouri) to Luna, Anna Paulina (R-Florida).

Shouldn't that be Anna Paulina Lunatic?

I watched the clip first, already cringing when I saw (R-Ohio). I didn't know this was the special election guy.

I'm not surprised by his performance. The 6th is stupendously gerrymandered. Have a peek.

Ta, Evan. Their own party is selling them shit sandwiches. I call it all baloney, or perhaps malarkey.

He switched from Dove to Irish Spring?! Republicans truly are dolts. Dove is a far superior soap product and Irish Spring makes one's skin dry and itchy, Because it doesn't have Dove's patented moisturizing ingredient no doubt. I don't live in Ohio, much less this Congressperson's district but if I did I wouldn't vote for him solely based on this admission. His wife should seek a divorce.

But Irish Spring is manly and the little lassies like it too.

Not this little lassie. Or, possibly, this cranky old crone.

My main problem, though, is that whatever soap he uses he needs to wash his mouth out with it.

WHY WON’T YOU SELL SHITTY SOAP TO THE ANTISOCIAL NAZI AND FASCIST WOMEN WHO TUNE IN EVERY DAY TO BEN SHAPIRO AND THE SEXLESS OAF MEN WHO WORK FOR HIM?

Uhh.. same reason they don't want to sell wedding cakes to homosexuals - ?
