Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!

I was not impressed with Mr Trumpka's performance of being a bully. Asking questions and not allowing complete responses. You cannot make me believe the Saw stop 'announcement' was not staged nor not previously known by Mr Trumpka nor was it previously known by the PTI representative nor the gentlem...

Interesting. When theories are inconsistent then mindfully create imaginary(non observed) thingies that make the theories hold water!
