Where was I trying to spin anything Trump said? I understand that the top-of-the-line, $14,000 low flow toilet in your McMansion works great. Tell that to the family who lives month to month whose toilet breaks and are told they now have to purchase an expensive $1000 toilet that does not even flush properly, and does not even have the opportunity to go with the tried and true traditional option because some Whiney unelected bureaucrat has decided that some minuscule and vague, largely under-analyzed environmental impact that traditional design may have. There is no place in a democracy for that crap. If these bureaucrats truly believe forcing everyone to buy expensive luxury products is justified by the environmental impacts, they can stand before Congress and convince them that this is justified despite the massive impact such a decision will have. |
What are you babbling about? Here’s a low flow toilet for $99 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-Bay-12-inch-Rough-In-Two-Piece-1-1-GPF-1-6-GPF-Dual-Flush-Elongated-Toilet-in-White-Seat-Included-N2316/100676582 I counted at least 15 low flow toilets under $200 (I stopped counting at 15) The entire Chevron regime was decided by a Republican Supreme Court! Scalia loved Chevron because it took power out of the hands of liberal judges who were interpreting ambiguous statutes. |
It will be very entertaining to watch Boebert, Green and Jordan try to legislate with enough particularity that the regs under IRC 704(b) relating to substantial economic effect are unnecessary. |
And those low flow toilets are basically junk that can barely flush piss down, let alone a huge log, compared to traditional toilets that could flush anything you could fit in the bowl at half the price. Because it was tried and true technology, not over-engineered and under-designed crap. I am a centrist, I don’t care whether conservatives or liberals liked a ruling, I like common sense and the constitution, both of which Chevron (and, I hate to say it, Roe v Wade) flew in stark opposition to. Period. |
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Your post is INCREDIBLY out of touch with any and all reality whatsoever. First of all, NO functioning low flow toilet requires "10 or 15 flushes." Regardless of whether it's a fancy one in a McMansion, or the cheapest one you can buy at your local home supply. Trump just flat-out LIED about that. Second, NO, YOU ARE NOT BEING FORCED TO BUY TOILETS THAT COST $1000. Took me all of three seconds to find one for $99 at Lowes right now. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Project-Source-Pro-Flush-White-Dual-Flush-Elongated-Chair-Height-2-Piece-WaterSense-Toilet-12-in-Rough-In-Size-ADA-Compliant/5006032707 It's astounding to watch you trying to froth with indignation while being so utterly clueless. How does that even happen? Do you just blindly repeat whatever bullshit someone else told you without bothering to question any of it? |
Oh, baloney. You're just wrong. Provably so. |
Say goodbye to any legislation ever passing again, if that clownshow of a Congress now has to be responsible for coming up with all of the details of how it's to be implemented. |
This was the natural consequence of unelected bureaucrats seizing power and exercising control and consequences on the American people.
This is not their role. They absolutely needed to be reined in. This case was about fishermen being forced to pay for observers on their vessels since observers are required. The National Marine Fisheries Service stopped the monitoring in 2023 because of a lack of funding. While the program was in effect, the agency reimbursed fishermen for the costs of the observers. But, they started charging fishermen for the observers. So, the National Marine Fisheries Service requires observers, but in order to comply, the fisherman have to pay for them. No. Stop with the unfunded mandates... especially when mandated by unelected bureaucrats. |
The Republicans in the 1980s created Chevron because they didn't like how liberal judges were interpreting ambiguities in statutes. It's amazing to see conservatives completely ignore this history and become brain-eating zombies in the other direction. Agency experts making "reasonable" interpretations is what y'all wanted in 1984! Here's Scalia's treatise on Chevron from 1989: https://biotech.law.lsu.edu/blog/Judicial-Deference-to-Administrative-Interpretations-of-Law.pdf |
We have enough legislation and too many bureaucrats. AFUERA!!! |

When baby fish are harvested before reproducing we have no fish. No more wild food. It’s tricky and it’s a pain for fishermen (based on size of fish).
That citizen funded program actually protects our food source. |
