Isn’t there an age restriction to purchase e-cigarette products no matter what flavor they are?

Meh, I've never understood anyone that wanted to smoke a blueberry muffin or a cinnamon roll to be honest.

...but you understand why people want to smoke dried up tobacco or stinky green leaf?

Yep! I thought about trying vaping if they could actually make something that tasted and "felt" like a cigarette, but never heard of anything that really did. There are a lot of people I work with that use vaping devices, so I get all manner of "aromas" coming from them. I can neither confirm nor deny anything about "stinky green leaf" other than, the stinkier the better... er, so I've been told. (I grew up in the 70's. And that's all I have to say about that. )

Actually, when I was a senior in high school and shortly thereafter, I discovered imported cigarettes. Sobranie Black Russians (black cigarettes with a gold filter) was one of the brands I tried for awhile. It was amazing the difference between those and "domestic" cigarettes. It seems that Europe has or had pretty strict restrictions about additives to any kind of tobacco products. They were basically limited to tobacco and water content. The result was a very mild flavored cigarette (compared to say, a Marlboro Red), with the same nicotine content, but the smell (not taste) was kinda like .

Also smoked Nat Sherman's Virginia Ovals for awhile, which were almost like mini-cigars. They were also more "pure" than regular cigarettes.

Supreme Court allows Trump administration to enforce toughest restriction yet on migrant asylum requests


...The U.S. Supreme Court late Wednesday gave the Trump administration permission to enforce its toughest restriction yet on asylum seekers at the southern border, even though a lawsuit to stop the new policy is still working its way through the lower courts...

If they want to ban the silly things, then they should MAKE A LAW.

Just making up a rule is B.S.!!!

 

[ghuns]

I wonder if they're going to go after marijuana next.

That's a funny one.

So this picture is floating around.

I'm starting to think they actually didn't tell her she lost the election.

She might have thought she's been President this entire time. I think her close group is just playing it up, letting her make pretend orders and speeches to no one.

Not winning the election is a silly reason not to start work on her presidential library.

You might not buy into it, but you should at least pay attention to trends. Democrats have been notoriously bad at turning out for mid-terms and special elections. For districts that have been ruby red for so long, the Democrats being competitive in those areas, again noting it not an presidential election year, is something to take note of.

So where are the handrails and padding?

That picture, with that smile, immediately brought to mind the ending of the movie The President's Analyst

So, she has the emails there... I'm sure that's all of them... also, if they are so boring why bleachbit the drives and smash them?

All in all... It's good that she is back and reminding people to get out and vote (against what she stands for).

I still think there will be a big push to get her on the ballot for President in 2020.

Good. I miss Trump saying, "Crooked Hillary Clinton".

I actually hope you are right, they need a few more candidates. But I really don't think there is anyone that wants to do the pushing.

I only tuned into the debate last night for a little bit, at the worst possible time (I think). It was Beto promising to come take my ARs.

So... the 2020 election cycle is not going to be a choice between the lesser of 2 evils, it looks like it'll be a choice between the lesser of 2 dystopian nightmares.

 

[Sigblitz]

I was actually looking for a Beto O'Rourke target this morning for some AR therapy.

 

[T.Lex]

That's the kind of thing that will absolutely taint the entire Dem party in the general election. What's more, everyone on stage seemed to stop and think, "Hmmm... that's not a bad idea."

It would actually force gun sales to the secondary market because when they come to take them, they would already be sold off, instead of in the hands of the original purchaser.
