It's amusing to me to see my change over time.
Without even thinking, in the years gone by (at least before Hillary, LOL), I would simply pull the levers for Democrat. (Sidenote: remember when you voted with physical levers on a large board?)
End of that.
So much of the typical Republican rhetoric is alien to me, as I support all of us to be free to be who we are, without regard to religious or cultural bias.
And then, there is Trump. He hasn't gotten us into any wars. A BIG plus. I think he doesn't want to intrude into our lives, at least on the levels like vaping etc.
I do fear what will happen to us if he loses in November. More than just vaping.

An update from the VTA:

"FDA SEEKS PMTA DEADLINE EXTENSION; COURT ISSUES INDICATIVE RULING
This week, the FDA submitted a letter to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, in American Academy of Pediatrics, et al. v. FDA, et al., asking Judge Grimm to extend the May 12, 2020 court-ordered PMTA deadline by 120-days to September 9, 2020 “in light of the global outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a new coronavirus.”

In deciding to request a 120-day extension, the FDA noted that it had received requests from numerous trade associations and companies, including consultants involved in the PMTA process, for extensions “between 8 weeks and 180 days, with the majority of requests for 180 days.” VTA was one of those trade associations that submitted a request to the FDA and did so on March 20, 2020 outlining the basis and necessity for deadline extensions for large manufacturers and small manufacturers. VTA also encouraged the FDA to utilize the additional time to implement PMTA process modifications that will ensure the survival of small businesses and a diverse array of the vapor products on which former smokers now rely.

The District Court initially set a briefing schedule to allow the Plaintiffs time to present their arguments (even though they did not object to the FDA’s request) that ran dangerously close to the May 12, 2020 deadline. However, the Plaintiffs filed their written statement early and, today, the District Court issued an “Indicative Ruling” stating that if the case is remanded to the District Court from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (where the case currently resides), the District Court would extend the May 12, 2020 PMTA deadline to September 9, 2020.

This is an important development and with the understanding that no official order has yet extended the deadline, we presume that if the Court of Appeals remands the case promptly, the District Court will convert the Indicative Ruling into a former order extending the deadline. However, until that time, the deadline remains May 12, 2020. Upon the entry of the final order, we anticipate that the FDA will update its January 2020 guidance as indicated. We will keep you apprised of developments."

Fingers crossed....

Fingers, toes and whatever else I can find to cross. Does sound like a bit of a reprieve is possible

First they came for the vapers…

(And here we thought it was all just about e-cigarettes.)

"but we as adults don't want to lose our
rights our freedoms our civil liberties
and our abilities to use a product that
we enjoy."




Good luck. :)

Wonder how much longer before fascist You Tube shuts him down and, thereby, confirming what he said.
