As a non American, is it dumb of me to ask how much say 1 senator has in such things?

It can depend on what Committees the Senator Chairs or is a Member of. And How Many like minded allies He/She may have on a given issue.

In this case, It is just the Soap Boxing of a Tired Old Man in a Grey Suit.

Because Dick Durbin in mentally broken. His father, who was a 2 PAD Camel Non-Filter smoker, died of Lung Cancer.

It's almost Funny. But it Really is Very Sad. Because e-Cigarettes could Help Many people Not go thru what Dick Durbin has. But he is Too Emotionally Clouded to see it.

My greatest dilemma of the day maybe whether is score this "funny" or "agree".

I know when I'm watching enough news, and that would be when I watch none.

I used to listen to NPR in the car, and then realized their cycle was, "natural emergency." "Hateful political stuff," "We are all going to die because Mankind did something dumb." "That awful woman, Dianne something who needs to get off the news already because she has to get TREATMENTS to talk and she sounds like she is made of badly bent vinyl, usually going for controversy she knows little about", "back to death of humanity by ANOTHER terrible cause," "Book review, usually pretentious," "FUNDING DRIVE."

It got to be like my favorite times were the funding drives, so I was like "I should stop."

My life has improved about 500%.

Seriously the only good thing to come from NPR was Ira Glass, and every woman in my family would give ANYTHING to meet him, and EVERYTHING to "meet" him. Despite that I hear he's like built like an adolescent anorexic.

But he's an anomaly dude. Every news station has to have SOMETHING good.

Also I want to kick Garrison Keiler in the nuts. It is this UNBRIDLED sensation every time I heard his show (is he dead? Please let him be dead) and was like THIS IS BORING AND ALSO MAKES ME ANGRY AS HELL all at the same time. LOL.

Not much. But it's election season so they all have to prove their commitment to the tribe by colorful displays of contempt for the other tribe. It distracts some of the more gullible partisans while they pick our pockets.

...Side note here please.
It took me several years to get the name Dick uncensored here.
It was done on the condition that if it gets abused again as a derogatory it will get re-censored.
Pleaseandthankyou !

And today, saying what you want may have severe consequences, physically, economically and socially. But we can still say it.

I sorta remember that on the potty mouth list. Glad it was overturned. But can it be held against us if that's the name the guy has chosen to be known by?

(I'll go away now)

Using as a name is one thing, that's why I fought to get it uncensored...calling someone one that (as was done) is another.
We couldn't even type out Charles Dickens - it got censored to Charles ....ens.

Better to cuss out loud at your screen! We're all doing it here in Michigan.

I watch a lot of Aussie tv shows, I think the correct term is "Deek"

He is the second ranking Democrat behind Chuck Shumer and would be next in line for either minority or majority leader depending on who controls the Senate.
As others have pointed out, he has a thing about vaping and wants it banned completely. So maybe just one Senator, but a powerful one.
Right now he is getting a lot of support from the media on the "vaping" issue, which is really about another substance for the most part. But every headline will state vaping is the culprit .
As an old public relations friend advised my years ago, never argue with people who buy ink by the barrel. Today it's more bandwidth than ink, but you get the idea.
I noted the Daily Mail this morning had five stories with shares. I would say 5,000 shares is a pretty high number. The vaping story had 200,000. You can bet they will have another tomorrow .

Dick Durbin should have a nice long talk with Aaron Biebert.

It's entirely possible that she vaped several different things and simply doesn't know which one caused her problems.

 

[dreamvaper]

simply doesn't know which one caused her problems

do you suggest she might also be pregnant?

 

[zoiDman]

When she Uses the word "Vaping", is she using it to mean Inhaling Legally Purchased Nicotine Solutions?

Or is She using a that word to mean Inhaling something Else?

Who cares, this is an epidemic crisis and something must be done.
Whether that "something" makes sense or is effective or not, something must be done.

"We" know, that in today's world, "vaping" is just a "physical process" (or method) used to vaporize substances and inhale them. We know some substances are safe, and others not so much. The media has led the public to believe the "process" (or method) is unsafe, when really it is certain "substances" that are unsafe, nicotine NOT being one of them.
