I'm sure every administration has dysfunction. You can't have that many personalities, apinions and reactions and expect shit to go smoothly 24/7. I work in a program with a staff of under 10 employees, we can't even get them on the same page. Imagine an entire cabinet. Other than the Afghanistan exit, Biden's gender fluid dude stealing luggage, the top secret files (documents were from his time as VP, so technically didn't occur during his term) and the fact that Kamala Harris is about as worthless as Mike Pence? I haven't heard THAT much about this White House being a shit show. I'm sure I'm having a brain fart and can't remember shit though. Trump's White House had unprecedented levels of dysfunction: His COVID response killing literally thousands, January 6th, the Super Man t-shirt idea, the lawsuits and "Stop the Steal" ridiculousness... and then punctuated by relocating important documents from the heart of American democracy to fuckin' Epcot. We'll probably never see another administration do this sort of damage but I'm not ruling it out. Like, I haven't even gotten into the fact that Trump radicalized the dumbest and oldest segments of our population while giving authority to QAnon loons. These two things will probably do more damage than anything else. Just wait a few years until the Kid Rock presidency

He should run for the Democratic nomination and when he comes out for the first debate it'd be like Woodstock '99.

The media hasn’t wen't after Biden? The media handled Trump with kid gloves, they practically got him elected.

Lol of course that was a big talking point for the GOP. You can take the politician’s out of the Midwest and south but you can’t take the Midwest and south out of the politicians.

The amount of places you can’t smoke in the US is fucking dumb, and the ever-increasing hysteria over tobacco/nicotine products functions more as a distraction than anything else. Cigarettes are bad, but they aren’t the public health menace that (wait for it) private vehicles are. Cigarettes aren’t responsible for the areas of the US with massive rates of asthma, for example. But cars and trucks absolutely are. Just look at the difference in air quality in Boyle Heights (LA) prior to Covid-19 and during lockdowns/WFH/etc.

Just look at the difference in air quality in Boyle Heights (LA) prior to Covid-19 and during lockdowns/WFH/etc. I mean, to be fair, the larger overarching issue in that comparison would be that private vehicles serve a valuable function. There's an argument to be made by fossil fuel purists that it's a "necessary evil." Vast majority of people who smoke -- including my 67-year-old father who smoked for 40+ years and passed away in November -- only started because they thought it "looked cool." That's dumb as fuck and it's been dumb as fuck.

You could still apply that argument to coal rollers and people who buy big dumbass trucks.

For sure, but how much of that car-buying public are coal roller and big dumbass truck drivers?
I get the point you're making but I think there's probably enough outrage to go around between big tobacco and the auto industry.

Many nicotine users are self-medicating for ADHD or autism, so these regulations are an act of unjustifiable discrimination.

best part of this saga was the eventual reveal that he bought his house through the "Catturd LLC" and that he only has an electric range.

Women straight up being told they can't do stuff with their own bodies, trans people getting treated like freaks of nature and second-class citizens... but the smokers want a seat at the equality table lol.

Calling not being able to smoke inside an act of unjustifiable discrimination is nuts.
There are so many alternatives that don’t subject non-smokers to having to put up with second hand smoke for absolutely no reason.

What about women smokers' rights to bodily autonomy? And let's not forget that transgender individuals are far more likely to be smokers, and that's a major reason why smoking is borderline criminalized (learn intersectionality, please). The pink lung lobby disproportionately targets the LGBT and neurodivergent communities.

(P1) regulations around smoking have become increasingly stringent. (P2) transgender people are far more likely to be smokers than cisgender people.
Conclusion: Regulations around smoking disproportionately affect transgender individuals.
That’s bulletproof standard form argumentation right there.
