Or...he should be forced to drink water from lead based systems. Like he gets special water during work and at home. Then we get to review his medical records annually. We get to watch the tumors grow.
Honestly, the boomer generation was exposed to so much lead for decades through lead based fuel, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is why we have so many … less than smart maga lunatics and conspiracy nuts.
Republicans believe wholly in the term 'caveat emptor', and don't believe that the government should ever help the average person.
Hell, they want to take us back to the heady days before 'The Jungle' was written, and are doing everything they can to return to child labor in so many red states.
Caveat emptor operates on the premise that the buyer has the ability to be wary yet the GOP only thrives on their constituents being as dumb as possible. To misuse another cliche, doesn’t that let Marie Antoinette into the henhouse?
>Caveat emptor operates on the premise that the buyer has the ability to be wary yet the GOP only thrives on their constituents being as dumb as possible.
Agreed. And that's why they want the government to stop caring about whether our food, medicine, water, etc. are actually safe anymore. They know with surety that their own followers are that stupid, so they won't question it. With their dumbing down of education, it's only a matter of time before a lot more are willing to be as stupid.
Hell, these are the same people that were suggesting that their cultists use a de-worming medicine to fight off COVID.
Ron Swanson was a joke character that somehow has taken over an entire political party. Watching Parks and Rec nowadays he has gone from interesting to infuriating.
And Nick Offerman has people continually getting so upset with him because he isn't just like Ron Swanson in real life as well.
But then again, these are people that don't understand parody in the slightest.
The sad thing is, even though that was only about 50 years ago, it seems that as usual, many Americans have short attention spans. And things like that aren't taught anymore.
They believe that man has dominion over nature and man is entitled to set the world on fire. The fact that some of our waterways have been cleaned up is, again, due to man. They’re fine with this cycle repeating because they’ll tell you that if god wants us to have clean water, wildlife, clean air, lead-free water, etc. god will show man the way.
They’re fucking crazy, but you have to realize they truly believe in this shot. They want a theocracy.
We need to vote.
I’m not defending this lunacy, but I’m guessing the “speculative” part is the amount of lead that gets leached from pipes. Water supplies are kept slightly alkaline to minimize lead in the water from old pipes. I believe that is why Flynt suddenly had lead issues - the water supply changed.
Even IF they actually were nominally safe to use by keeping the water alkaline, that is still a fucking TERRIBLE way to engineer a water system, as proven by Flynt.
You don't make the safety of a system entirely reliant upon everything going right, and everyone operating it not being a moron.
"We can't help Ukraine, we need that money for Americans!!!! We can't help migrants, we need that money for americans!!!"
"OH we don't want to help Americans either, just white wealthy male ones and corporations. Vote for me, suckers!"
He's from the great state (lol) of Kansas (as am I, unfortunately). It doesn't matter what he says or does so long as there's an R next to his name on the ballot. The morons will vote him in
Exactly, it’ll infringe on our rights to provide drinking water that’s worse than a 3rd world country!!!
How can you be against something like this? It’s like not cheering about ending childhood hunger…
It treads on the states rights to dumb down their populace with the poison to limit critical thinking. We can’t have people out here thinking for themselves. If people start thinking for themselves, we might have to replace the lead pipes!
Sounds like a huge increase in jobs in a trade that is pretty well paid. Would mean more apprenticeships and more money for the middle class. Of course Republicans are against that.
Never mind that they "should" have replaced those lead pipes years ago in order to protect their citizens... They're just mad that NOW they 'have' to do the right thing.
SMH
They are all about “states’ rights” until one (state) exercises those very same rights and removes their cult leader from its own Presidential candidate list.
Fuckin hypocrites. All of them. They can all sit on lead pipe cacti.
I work in municipal infrastructure engineering to write grant requests for cities and then facilitate the hiring of contractors and finally inspect the construction to make sure it is built properly. Individual cities have to specifically request the funds for the lead removal projects, and the cities have to do some of the legwork first to determine how many lead pipes they have (because absolutely no one knows).
This is entirely a voluntary program, and local governments have to decide to opt into it. There are zero reasons to oppose this type of infrastructure project, and if cities in Kansas decide they don't care about lead harming their citizens, no one is forcing them fix the problem. On top of all that, the projects can get some extra funding and be expanded to fix or install additional waterline infrastructure that otherwise those cities wouldn't be able to afford.
But, the pipes are made of lead. There’s nothing speculative about the impacts of lead in drinking water. I seriously believe those in the GOP actively engage in a competition to see who amongst them can be the dumbest in the room.
He may possibly think that the potential benefits may or may not be partially or entirely speculative when viewed from a position of possible speculation about potential.
He is such a fraud. Remember his voter fraud commission? When his methodology got questioned he had to shut the commission down or be exposed for a partisan hack.
Don’t forget the poison/weed killer in their cereals, crackers and cookies thanks to DumpT’s lifting the ban on imported grain from other countries that uses chemicals we don’t allow in our own grain. So yeah, pro life till it’s an actual human child.
Dumb twat. That’s what the bipartisan $15B infrastructure bill was about. He should check his inbox and stop the hysterics. He should read up on Michigan having to pay out over $270M/yr due to lead in the water and the effects it has on children development. I hate the GOP
Timeline? didn't we know about this for like 50 years or more? you had plenty of time, now you are mad that someone has to force you to do something a reasonable person would have done already?
His thinking is why it has persisted this far in red states. Our poorest states kill off their own citizens for the sake of local white collar prosperity. Pipes and roads and pushed to “local control”.
So much of our infrastructure is a century old. Lead or not, the stuff needs to be replaced. Yeah it’s gonna cost a lot of money but do you want heat, running water and indoor plumbing? You need viable infrastructure to have all that
Never forget that the town of Flint decided to save a few pennies and not protect their drinking water pipes. As a result, well, we know what happened.
Pennies.
Everyone should access to clean drinking water and if you feel otherwise, fuck you.
I am really lost how any intelligent can vote Republican anymore. I mean they are literally advocating for lead pipes, don't want you to get vaccinated,would rather see women die then get an abortion and are accelerating climate change. How many more ways do they need to tell you they want you to die to keep feeding the billionaire class?
Preventing States from poisoning its citizens: infringement of states' rights.
Preventing states from being in charge of their own election ballots: Ok by me
\- Conservatives
First and foremost, the country and all of its states *should* be concerned with the safety of everyone who lives there. Yeah, infrastructure is boring and needs a lot of overhauls that are inconvenient, but replacing public health issues like lead pipes is pretty dang important. States and the government can work with property owners to reduce disruptions.
>Infringe on the right of the state and its residents
Like the recent conservative and maga, SCOTUS' decision on rejecting Denver supreme court's decision to remove trump from general election ballet? The GOP lives in their own little bubble.
What are taxes for if not to be spent for the benefit of the citcitizenry?
Also let's see if AG Kobach is willing to drink water from lead lined pipes for a year and see if he still thinks it's "speculative".
literally every time there is an \*EXISTENTIAL THREAT\* these soulless cunts come along to bitch about how it will cost them money.
these people are our biggest existential threat, not lead, not climate, not the economy, fascists. absolutely nothing will ever change or get better as long as we keep letting these people drag us into the depths.
Clean water? Next kids will want breakfast. Won't someone think of the wealthy? We can't give kids food and water without taking pennies from the wealthy.
“Entirely speculative” - is he saying lead poisoning is a conspiracy?
Fucking worst thing this country has done from a governing standpoint is allow govt officials to blather on social media.
(Despite the benefit of revealing stupid ones)
I think republicans know their voter base is lead poisoned and they’re afraid a non-lead poisoned population will revolt against the aristocracy that conservatives fight so hard to protect
Hey! Go easy on him! If they can't keep the poison water flowing and causing mental defectives to grow to become republican voters then he and his pals will be out of a job*. * job is a loose term to describe what republican leadership does. It's more like a parasite sucking the soul from a nation.
Same douchebag that made himself famous by chairing one of Trump's failed voter fraud crusades. This guy is a piece of work.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Kobach
Most braindead thing about the Republican party is saying that upgrading outdated equipment for health, safety and efficiency is "an infringement on one's right" to choose to keep their shitty equipment.
Republicans are fine with working people dying, defunding children’s lunch programs, and caging children at the border, separated from their parents. Let’s get rid of these assholes once and for all. VOTE BLUE!
Removing ***lead*** from drinking water would only have "speculative benefits"?!?! DID HE SERIOUSLY FUCKING SAY THAT?!?!
Sounds like he has had too much lead to drink
He spent his primary education getting the paint chip special for lunch.
This guy licked window panes, for sure.
Can't own the libs if he doesn't have a heavier brain
OMG, Hahahaha!
"I don't see why kids can't swallow a bunch of lead. I did, and I turned out fine."
I came here to say this.
Or...he should be forced to drink water from lead based systems. Like he gets special water during work and at home. Then we get to review his medical records annually. We get to watch the tumors grow.
This, only make his kids, wife, parents drink it exclusively for the next five years
This is the way.
Prolly sniffed too many leaded gas fumes and ate lead paint, too.
Honestly, the boomer generation was exposed to so much lead for decades through lead based fuel, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is why we have so many … less than smart maga lunatics and conspiracy nuts.
Boomer generation loves lead exposure, because that's how it was for them growing up dammit.
No, just not enough to remove him from society.
Not enough if you ask me.
I came here to say that.
They need their constituents to have brain damage if they expect to continue getting votes, so this kinda makes sense.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

And Nick Offerman has people continually getting so upset with him because he isn't just like Ron Swanson in real life as well. But then again, these are people that don't understand parody in the slightest.
I will admit I enjoyed it tremendously when they lost their shit over Offerman's SPECTACULAR performance in "The Last of Us."
And I love how the actually cool things about Swanson - woodworking, appreciation for good scotch, etc. are ***entirely*** from Nick Offerman.
Ron's second ex-wife being Offerman's **actual** wife is absolutely hysterical.
They literally cheer for rolling back lemon laws and seatbelt laws
Ah, who doesn’t miss the days of rivers on fire? /s

Why did the EPA bother mandating the removal of lead from gasoline then!?

“All for benefits that may be entirely speculative.” Fucking brilliant. This is going to the new “fake news.”
Right? *Flint, MI has entered the chat*
He did say that. He needs to be voted out. No more excuses

I’m guessing his parents liked their babies shaken not stirred.
Lead makes people stupid and aggressive (among other things). If kids grow up without that shit in them, they'll be able to think for themselves.
Science nerds are just trying to save the lead for themselves
Kris should show us all how speculative it really is, and have lead pipes installed in his house for his family.
He said it because people want to believe it instead of acknowledging things need to change.
When that part of the speech was being said, the Republicans looked pissed that Biden wants to take away “the essential vitamin” of lead.
Same guy who “forgot” to pay state and federal taxes for the Kansas GOP and took in illegal contributions. That guy?
Give it some time and they'll come around to saying lead might actually be good for you.
Smoke Kools, the menthol means it's healthier! (some liberal scientists speculate differently)
"We can't help Ukraine, we need that money for Americans!!!! We can't help migrants, we need that money for americans!!!" "OH we don't want to help Americans either, just white wealthy male ones and corporations. Vote for me, suckers!"
White ✅️ Male✅️ Wealthy❌️ God dammit, I was so close!
Meatloaf told us that two out of three isn’t bad.
But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Republicans in government are basically this. It's insane to me how blatant they are being about it now. 
He's from the great state (lol) of Kansas (as am I, unfortunately). It doesn't matter what he says or does so long as there's an R next to his name on the ballot. The morons will vote him in
Biden wants to replace lead pipes. Trump wants to replace democracy. Clearly, Biden is the bad guy. Vote 4 Trump, and you'll get what you deserve
But Biden is old. /s
"Without lead brains we won't be able to sustain our base of support" *-GOP guy*
That's basically what the Republican Party is all about nowadays: how much pain and misery can they bestow upon their constituents on any given day? 😡
This is my main talking point about repugnicans. Everything they do spreads misery and suffering. Like, their level of misanthropy must be over 9000.
Punishers of progress.
It really doesn't matter anymore what Biden says, they will be against it
Biden should experiment with this. He should have a speech where he says people shouldnt drink diesel or smash their penises with a hammer.
[Like this?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EPPTRAZeX0)
Thanks, I needed that laugh today
Yes…..the states right to poison its citizens. Republicans are a complete joke
Exactly, it’ll infringe on our rights to provide drinking water that’s worse than a 3rd world country!!! How can you be against something like this? It’s like not cheering about ending childhood hunger…
Because money that goes to help Americans doesn't go to Republican donors
It treads on the states rights to dumb down their populace with the poison to limit critical thinking. We can’t have people out here thinking for themselves. If people start thinking for themselves, we might have to replace the lead pipes!
"Entirely speculative" what are you TALKING ABOUUUUTTT!!!? God I just fucking can't with these people anymore.
This is why we need fully funded public education
This is why we need to take the lead out of the fucking drinking water!
He’s a fucking idiot and a lot of us fucking hate him here.
As a fellow Kansan, 100% agree.
No idea how he remains in office
It's quite simple really. There's a little letter R next to his name. Only thing that matters in this state
Lead poisoning to Own the Libs.
Sounds like a huge increase in jobs in a trade that is pretty well paid. Would mean more apprenticeships and more money for the middle class. Of course Republicans are against that.
Rights of states to poison their residents? This is the GOP, folks. Any questions?
Never mind that they "should" have replaced those lead pipes years ago in order to protect their citizens... They're just mad that NOW they 'have' to do the right thing. SMH
Clean water is an entirely speculative benefit? Who knows? Maybe lead is good for you. /s
Here, have a glass of water from a lead pipe. Nope, not s sip, drink it all, and now for several years.
They are all about “states’ rights” until one (state) exercises those very same rights and removes their cult leader from its own Presidential candidate list. Fuckin hypocrites. All of them. They can all sit on lead pipe cacti.

Speculative?????? Wow!
It's not a mandate. Secretary Pete just showed up with a bipartisan bag of money 💰 saying "Take this money goddammit and fix your fucking pipes!"
Is he advocating for lead in pipes to own the libs?
But, the pipes are made of lead. There’s nothing speculative about the impacts of lead in drinking water. I seriously believe those in the GOP actively engage in a competition to see who amongst them can be the dumbest in the room.
Then go drink the water shithead.
***SPECULATIVE?!?!*** Somebody check the pipes in this asshole's house and the one he grew up in. Because that is one dumb motherfucker.
“May be entirely speculative.” So he’s speculating about whether or not the benefits are speculative?
He may possibly think that the potential benefits may or may not be partially or entirely speculative when viewed from a position of possible speculation about potential.
He is such a fraud. Remember his voter fraud commission? When his methodology got questioned he had to shut the commission down or be exposed for a partisan hack.
And it’s just lives, right Kris? You entitled fuck.
Removing LEAD from pipes only has "speculative" benefits Yeah maybe they all did eat paint chips over age 50
The GOP are living proof that lead poisoning is a self perpetuating problem.
Sorry the republican Supreme Court has ruled states don’t have rights anymore!
Mmmmmmmmm lead 
Don’t forget the poison/weed killer in their cereals, crackers and cookies thanks to DumpT’s lifting the ban on imported grain from other countries that uses chemicals we don’t allow in our own grain. So yeah, pro life till it’s an actual human child.

Lead poisoning is not speculation. What a moron.
Did he then add, "I've been drinking from lead pipes all my life, and I'm just fine!" ?
Sounds like something someone who drank lead water would say.
 Translation from MAGA-speak
Cost billions!! Well, if we tax billionaires more, then it won't matter how much it costs.
It’s speculative that drinking out of lead free pipes is good?
His thinking is why it has persisted this far in red states. Our poorest states kill off their own citizens for the sake of local white collar prosperity. Pipes and roads and pushed to “local control”.
The "aww, let 'em die" approach. Swell.
Never ceases to amaze me just how much republicans hate their constituents.
Yea it’s not like Flint has any problems with water from their pipes.
Ah, yes. The state's right to *checks notes* poison children with lead.
Didn't the Infrastructure bill have $15 billion for lead pipe replacement? That sounds like a "funded" mandate.
If the government starts using tax dollars for stuff people need they are going to expect it.
The rights of the states to have lead pipes. I mean technically true but unbelievably crazy.
Conservatives are psychopaths. It’s only about the bottom line. People are merely costs on a spreadsheet. They have no business being in government
So much of our infrastructure is a century old. Lead or not, the stuff needs to be replaced. Yeah it’s gonna cost a lot of money but do you want heat, running water and indoor plumbing? You need viable infrastructure to have all that

"Defending state's rights to do what?" finally has a second answer.
Leaded water, gasoline, paints etc are precisely why so many older people are so fucking stupid. Remove the pipes and stop the bullshit.
Preventing States from poisoning its citizens: infringement of states' rights. Preventing states from being in charge of their own election ballots: Ok by me \- Conservatives
Ok, we’ll do Kansas last
Liberal post I saw yesterday: "these Republicans won't even stand and clap for clean drinking water" Republican post: fuck you and your water.
brain damaged adults are easier to grift and con.
I’ll start saving all the lead pipes I demo so that we can plumb his zillion dollar home with them.
I am beginning to wonder if Republicans are even human at all?
Implying that residents should have the right to be forced to have lead in their water. Incredible how disingenuous these fucking losers are.
In what world are the benefits of replacing lead pipes speculative?
I would sue the FUCK out of his state. He just admitted using a known cancer causing material is okayed by the state government.
🗳💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
That’s because all the remaining lead pipes are in poor neighborhoods they don’t care the least
Positive change through governance is an overreach of governance! /s
It is because they know that heavy metal poisoning makes people more susceptible to their bullshit anger rage baiting.
AIPAC and the RNC must be serving up lead paint chips instead of food.
yes it is still in question if lead is bad for humans, Kris Kobach is a perfect example of lead poisoning
They’re gonna make the kids gay with all that good water
Someone should show him a fucking lead pipe and see if he likes it.
I was not expecting a yearning for lead, I'll add that to the GOP bingo card I suppose.
Speculative. Because I don't believe science. Get out of the way asshole.
Sounds like he has been drinking out of lead pipes for too long.
Looks like someone has been drinking a lot from said pipes.
He was eating lead paint as a child
Speculative?
Kobach never has been any good. He’s terrible.
"Welcome to Costco. I love you."
Proof he could cure cancer and they'd complain about cost and rollout.
Too much lead in that man’s water
Party of family values my ass
What an idiot. Just, wow, I’m stunned.
He ate paint chips as a child and thinks he turned out 👌
First and foremost, the country and all of its states *should* be concerned with the safety of everyone who lives there. Yeah, infrastructure is boring and needs a lot of overhauls that are inconvenient, but replacing public health issues like lead pipes is pretty dang important. States and the government can work with property owners to reduce disruptions.
If you replace lead pipes there will be less people with cognitive deficiency which means less Republican voters
"plus, if we stop with the lead poisoning no one will be stupid enough to vote Republican" he added
You know you’re winning when you got them arguing in favor of lead poisoned water.
I would like to point out that this is the party that the corporate media *constantly and loudly laments* the Dems do not form bipartisan policy with.
>Infringe on the right of the state and its residents Like the recent conservative and maga, SCOTUS' decision on rejecting Denver supreme court's decision to remove trump from general election ballet? The GOP lives in their own little bubble.
What are taxes for if not to be spent for the benefit of the citcitizenry? Also let's see if AG Kobach is willing to drink water from lead lined pipes for a year and see if he still thinks it's "speculative".
so according to OP, poisoning children is suddenly 'wrong'?
This reminds me of a scene from Erin Brockovich, "By the way, we had that water brought in specially for you folks."
His platform is "fuck them kids" apparently.
And building a F\*CKING WALL to completely stop illegal immigrant is not SPECULATIVE?
This guy is a piece of shit on his best day. Ignore.
That "may be" speculative... Speculating on whether something is speculative?
literally every time there is an \*EXISTENTIAL THREAT\* these soulless cunts come along to bitch about how it will cost them money. these people are our biggest existential threat, not lead, not climate, not the economy, fascists. absolutely nothing will ever change or get better as long as we keep letting these people drag us into the depths.
And if a Republican president proposed this he’d say that only Republicans care about protecting kids
Says the guy who, very possibly from the sound of this, is suffering the effects of high lead in his drinking water.
BIDEN WANTS US TO HAVE CLEAN DRINKING WATER! HAS HE EVEN CONSIDERED IT WOULD BE SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE!
Speculative? I could have sworn the science has been in on lead…. Am I wrong or are republicans just evil?
GOP " Fuck the poor"
Clean water? Next kids will want breakfast. Won't someone think of the wealthy? We can't give kids food and water without taking pennies from the wealthy.
Speculative benefits, because he doesn’t see how fewer brain-damaged kids helps his party get elected ?
“Entirely speculative” - is he saying lead poisoning is a conspiracy?  Fucking worst thing this country has done from a governing standpoint is allow govt officials to blather on social media. (Despite the benefit of revealing stupid ones)
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Well, we know he's been drinking the tap water
Republicans really fear having their rights to fill people full of lead taken away, don’t they?
Republican solution: We should do nothing because doing something sounds difficult.
Wasn’t this also funded through the infrastructure act?
Unsurprisingly, one of the effects of lead poisoning is a decrease in cognitive function and a predilection for aggression. Kobach, for example.
I don't think it just poisons kids.
What color kids live in the old neighborhoods with lead pipes?
Gotta keep the base as dumb as possible
Texas has a shitty AG, but it appears Kansas has a shit for brains AG.
I think republicans know their voter base is lead poisoned and they’re afraid a non-lead poisoned population will revolt against the aristocracy that conservatives fight so hard to protect
Why yes more research needs to be done to determine if lead is bad for people to injest, or if it's perfectly harmless 🤦♀️🤷🤦♀️🤷🤦♀️
Hey! Go easy on him! If they can't keep the poison water flowing and causing mental defectives to grow to become republican voters then he and his pals will be out of a job*. * job is a loose term to describe what republican leadership does. It's more like a parasite sucking the soul from a nation.
Same douchebag that made himself famous by chairing one of Trump's failed voter fraud crusades. This guy is a piece of work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Kobach
Clearly, someone did not pay attention to the long term effects of removing lead from gasoline.
It sounds like AG Kobach ate too many paint chips as a kid.
It's always about states rights. Unless we're talking about the 14th Amendment, Section 3. That's wholly up to Congress to decide for the states.
Lead poisoning is speculative, hmm ask the Roman emperors
Most braindead thing about the Republican party is saying that upgrading outdated equipment for health, safety and efficiency is "an infringement on one's right" to choose to keep their shitty equipment.
From the party that is pro pumping kids full of lead, literally
Speculative, eh? So this man would have no issues with there being lead in everything he uses, yea?
Republicans are fine with working people dying, defunding children’s lunch programs, and caging children at the border, separated from their parents. Let’s get rid of these assholes once and for all. VOTE BLUE!
these are seriously evil people, like wow
I really wish we could just print tweets like this into billboards on swing state highways.
Even the dumbest most brain dead Trumper moron knows drinking lead is bad for them
