The difference is that Tobacco products are regulated by law, but Vaping products are largely regulated by FDA power grabbing, and by State law. Regulating largely without laws establishing crimes and fines and without a budget for enforcement, sort of forces FDA to bully vape companies, not retailers.

It's 2019 so the "One" doesn't have to be Western European anymore, and, heck, the title "Highlander" is an unacceptable spoiler.  Furthermore, don't we need a darker Highlander for today's fans?

The $5 Billion would pay for less than 10% of a wall.  For DACA recipients to be insecure, Dems have to believe Trump will win reelection.  But, even supposing he does, he will be dying to swap another three year extension for another wall extension.

This initiative will be overshadowed by Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s plan to nationalize Coca Cola.

The story suggests high school students engaged in a peaceful counter-protest. Is everyone whose event is protested supposed to be comfortable? That’s not what stories on this site that rail against civility and celebrate Maxine Waters’ crusade to ruin Republican staffers and Pols day at restaurants. This is the…

I am sure Stella would not have peed intentionally, if the allegations are true and she happened to be sitting on a colleague.  We should consider the possibility that the older woman became excited and a medical condition like prolapse or incontinence...

Apparent strikers could be layed off. Most of the EPA, for example, with the exception of workers monitoring especially hazardous nuclear and chemical waste sites, could be semi-permanently shut down, workers layed off.  Republicans can see in this, an opportunity to shrink government for a couple years. 

I used to swallow a bug once in a while, cycling.

On the one hand, new refineries are not often built anymore, because of NIMBY and the complex permitting process that could take many years. So New Orleans can probably feel secure that nobody will move a refinery. On the other hand, what company will locate a large plant or factory in New Orleans where they aren’t…

My octagenarian relatives swear by trackballs, won’t use anything else. I suspect young people would mistake them for sex toys. Also, at my store I constantly have to berate employees for putting thermal paper rolls in the impact printer, because those whipersnappers don’t know what an impact printer is.

I am sure Sean would be welcomed back to Venezuela to support the legacy of his late friend, Hugo Chavez. He could even make a pit stop, and interview a murderous drug lord on the way.

I was expecting a different kind of burrito baby. Remember the recent meme of babies rolled up tightly, in blankets/swaddling?

I am not in L.A. I am on vacation in Europe where there are a couple locations. Also, although I expect to try Marukami, I have not been yet.  There might not be much affiliation from different locations.  A famous Japanese Author of that name, featured several restaurants in novels.  A notable Japanese American Chef…

On the contrary, and contraryness is critical here, I was pointing out that this shitshow was not a solely wypipo production. There might also be a hidden lesson. Imagine if a choreographer, working in big city, blue state, theater, had been given work in a rural, Midwestern, public school. We would assume that…

I really liked the Lincoln quote, because it explains clearly why President Obama was ambivalent about Lincoln. Most of us Republicans assumed it was merely that Lincoln’s contribution to ending slavery didn’t fit Obama’s message or worldview.

Folks here are going to judge you on this culinary choice.  Do you use spices or not? Judgement will be harsh if it is the latter.

The only problem with the story at this point is that the story claims emails and other documents corroborating Cohen, exist. Since publication, one of the two reporters said both authors of the story saw these documents . The other reporter says he didn’t see the documents. The documents and not Cohen’s words, make…

The only plausable legitimate excuse might have been if he had been discussing the NBC incident that happened two weeks earlier and had that on his mind. Only one complaint to the station? Wow! All of Missouri needs to own up to that.

It's significant that in previous years Tamika embraced Farrakhan the man, but explained that she did not agree with all he said.  This year something has changed.  This year Tamika clearly tells us that she does agree with Farrakhan, without reservation, although she might choose different words, expressing their…

Decades ago an old man who had once worked decades before that, at a saw mill since closed and sold to China... “The first forklift the mill got replaced seventy-five men.”
