Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

[Bronze]

He could limit enforcement.

E.g. By telling the FDA to leave dedicated vape shops alone, just like the DEA leaves dedicated "dispensaries" alone in states that have legalized MJ, which is still a Schedule 1 drug on the federal level.

I was thinking more in terms of the regulations themselves.

So a bunch of racist try to find a reason to claim a bill is racist so they can vote against it? Oh the irony!

White paper.. Black ink..

 

[somdcomputerguy]

I hate politics... that's all I really have to say.

 

[stols001]

Give your D any reason to think it’s a racist bill and they’ll vote no.

I am happy to self-identify as a black, one legged woman, a lesbian but not by choice because I am caught in a man's body. I got not shame. LOL.

Gonna have to do something about the driver's license soon, anyway.

I believe I am part Aborigine. and that occurred when my MIL was all proud of the husband's NA heritage and my five year old asked about OUR heritage. My MIL had really ...... me off that day in general, but in particular when she called Brazil nuts N Toes. Without missing a beat, I told my kid we were part Aborigine. There was a deep, deep silence for a long time. It was great.

I am quite sure my husband told my MIL I was a lying brat but I let my kid believe it for a few years until he was able to comprehend "hatefulness."

Maybe I should mention my aborigine heritage in letters I write now. I mean, Elizabeth Warren did, right?

Also, I think Ivanka has to vape. That's the only explanation I got for Trump's behavior. She's probably got one a them diamond encrusted ego setups, somewhere.

Yeah yeah I'm sure there are political reasons but I bet you ANYTHING Ivanka secretly vapes, she seems like the type.

Usually the fantasies about Ivanka's secrets are coming from men

a lesbian but not by choice because I am caught in a man's body

oh, nvm

That song has been on a 24/7/365 loop since it was released.

My Pandora must be out of sync. It's actually playing Gimme Shelter right now.

I was found in the wild as a child...I was raised by Dingos. Yes. My '''rescuers' said I didn't walk upright until 4 years, I didn't talk until I was six, just growled. They tell me toilet training was the worst, that no furniture was safe from a lifted leg. And vaping, that's the only thing that helps me deal with life. I still have dreams of the pack.

Looks like Anna started to spread the virus on the forum ...
*putting on the gloves*

 

[CaveFurby]

I felt inspired by her to share my troubled story, yes. Vaping makes it easier to bear....even though sometimes I still wake up on all fours in the yard at night.

From CASSA:

(Update - 02.27.20)
Today, the House of Representatives voted to move forward (210 yea - 200 nay) with considering HR 2339 and allowing for 90 minutes of debate prior to a vote. There is now bi-partisan opposition to this bill.

CASAA has learned that the language from HR 4742 (tax parity across all tobacco products--linked below) is now included in HR 2339. This new language would tax vapor products at a much higher rate than the federal tax on cigarettes.

The 90 minutes of debate and a vote on HR 2339 is expected to begin around 9:00 AM, Friday, February 28.


Please continue reaching out to your representatives urging them to
VOTE NO on HR2339

• You can watch live coverage of the House of Representatives on C-SPAN or here - BETA | House FloorCast

Following the vote on the resolution to consider HR 2339, House Democrats are taking a second look at the consequences of criminalizing menthol cigarettes. In an op-ed published today in The Hill, Rep. Yvette Clarke (NY-09) draws attention to the social justice issues surrounding prohibition on a product that is disproportionately consumed by black people who smoke. According to POLITICO, this criticism is peeling Democrat votes away from the bill. It remains to be seen if this will be enough to defeat the bill in the Democrat controlled House and if the bill will be amended to remove a menthol ban.

So, I read that HR 2339 proceedings for today were postponed. Does anyone know what that actually means? I watched a lot of the debate/presentations and was hoping for some sort of resolution or vote.

edit:
Looks like the postponement was short, they are back at it.

Really men fantasize about Ivanka? Dood. In my male opinion she looks like a cross between a swan (I don't consider them beautiful, they are scary and MEAN there is a REASON they coast about all uppity on the lake no other BIRDS get near them, let alone people.) Her neck is the swan part, the chicken is her face. If/when she gets a wattle, she will turn into a turkey-chicken. That's not good.

LOLZ I guess if I fantasized about anything it would be her incredible wealth and position. I might go with her someday.... Just, you know, for blackmail purposes. IDK. I'd bedazzle her a smok stick too, because that might be.... well, it would kinda like be a pipe bomb in the White House without legal consequences, and I would await the day....

Or, as my son said best when I asked him about Taylor Swift. "MOM! I would have to... But it would be very resentfully and angrily. Afterwards, I would have to drink, to forget..."

LOL the amount of self-awareness young teen like, awareness there is just so great. One of my favorite quotes.

I'm sorry I'm going very off topic. I don't feel good at ALL and I think I just really am gonna die. Bladder infection.

No self-respecting one legged black lesbian woman who is trapped in a man's bod like, is without her antibiotics for that condition but I still feel horrible. Switching thyroid meds again, but like.... I just want it to be EASY. In need things to be THE SAME. They never are an I don't even know like, what is UP and DOWN.

I spent a long time on the internet trying to figure it out and I can't. I'm just gonna blame it on Ivanka, dude. And the approaching regulations.

ALSO for those of you without shame! You know what works GREAT for bubble tanks even as vape bands, because you don't want to order vape bands? Hair ties! They can be carefully wrapped in this sort of overlapping fashion I have had SEVERAL drops which might have like, killed a tank or two but NO! Hairties! They rock. If I ever get off the couch I may post a picture of my sinfully tragic hair tie tank savers. LOL.

She's too serious. She needs to lighten up. Put on some jeans and play some flag football or somethin.

Was this included already in the above? IDK, so posted:

House passes sweeping restrictions on flavored vaping and tobacco products - CNNPolitics

The legislation, which would ban flavored tobacco products, including menthol-flavored vaping products and cigarettes, passed with a vote of 213-195.

It was seen as the house Dem's solution, though. So it may not pass the Senate.
