Smoking age will go to 21. |
GUNS KILL 95 PEOPLE A DAY AND DONALD J. TRUMP AND CONGRESS ARE SO FUCKING STUPID. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO HAVE A GRIP ON THE CONGRESS. THESE OLD FARTS WRITING OUR NATION'S LAWS WOULD RATHER MEDDLE IN YOUR BEDROOM, YOUR HOME, YOUR VEHICLE BUT WON'T STOP INDIVIDUALS FROM OBTAINING FIREARMS TO WASTE EVERYTHING IN THEIR PATHS.
Donald J. Trump signed into law a sweeping legislation that meddles with vices. Once again, our government is doing things ass backwards.
The law sponsored by the status quo lawmakers of both House and Senate now enforces a federal age requirement for any adult over 21 to purchase tobacco and vape products.
Trump gave his stamp of approval on Friday to raising the federal age requirement of who can legally purchase tobacco products to 21 when he signed spending bills approved by Congress this week.
This change means that in less than a year it will become illegal for anyone under 21 in the United States to purchase vape products and e-cigarettes, as well as more traditional tobacco products.
Trump signed the two spending bills for a total of $1.4 trillion. That includes a defense spending bill, raising the wages of military officials, keep the government operating, and cuts to domestic spending.
Trump was threatening to veto the Ukraine funding but changed his mind. It was passed bipartisan through the House of Representatives and the Senate. That is the possibly the only time a major form of legislation came chucking through without the partisan theatrics as we saw in the official impeachment of a sitting president.
Trump scores a victory with the new USMCA trade deal. However, it's not on the books until a treaty is passed. Canada and Mexico has to agree to the terms of the deal and if its approved then Trump could score a mild victory.
Trump and Congress would rather keep individuals under 21 from purchasing tobacco.
With the president's signature, the new age requirement will take effect in about nine months -- the Food and Drug Administration has 180 days to update its regulations and they will go into effect 90 days after that.
The Trump administration has not yet said how -- or if -- it will enforce a ban on all flavored nicotine vaping products that was announced by the president in September in an effort to stop more teenagers from taking up vaping.
Public health and anti-tobacco groups praised the change but still want more to be done to curb youth vaping and tobacco use overall.
Mass shootings are happening in the United States. You may think it's never gonna happen to your town, your family or yourself, but I assure you it will affect you at some point.
Don't you just want to scream!?
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
We are in the midst of possibly the 400+ mass shooting in the United States. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD.
