[depotoo]

Well, well, well. It was Democrats that carried the vote
House votes to ban all flavored vaping, tobacco products
The legislation passed with a 213-195 vote, with a contingency of Democrats from the Congressional Black Caucus siding with Republicans in the vote. Black lawmakers said the ban could bring disproportionate policing down on African-American communities, despite its good intentions.

Old enough to die for you country and go to jail as an adult but not old enough to make other choices for yourself. Total bullshit.

We need to have one age at which people are adults, and at that point they can do everything an adult can legally do.

That’s not a bill that targeted blacks so pointedly.

Or when Clinton (non-Repub) threatened to take away states highway funding unless they fell in line with a .08 DUI level.
Ain't Democracy great, muppets?
