Vaping = Grabbing the Hog!
I was going to say... the vaping was not the biggest issue.
Vaping, handjob - tomato, tomahto.
If any of us just vaped in a theater we would probably be asked to leave but it wouldn’t be a big deal. It somehow seems like it’s worse because an elected official should behave better than my dumb ass 8 beers deep at a dive bar bathroom.
Obviously the exhibitionism is even trashier and more upsetting
I personally have no issue with her giving an ole fashion in public. My problem is all the other dumbass shit she says and does.
She shouldn't be an elected official because she has the intelligence of a moldy cabbage. Not because she chokes chickens in a general audience
Not even mentioned in the article! In what world does the author live that "vaping" was the scandal that prompted her to flee her district? Conservatives couldn't care less that she was being rude with vape smoke at a play.
Some of them probably think she should have blown the vapor cloud directly into the faces of the children she was vaping around.
Remember this asshole?
Duncan Hunter, vaping on the floor of congress. He still got re-elected. R-CA.
Incidentally, he was also pardoned by Donald Trump for misusing campaign funds.
Ah, you're referring to his vaping scandal. He was probably vaping while doing it.
He's a complete ass, but I have to say, for history's sake, I'm glad we have video of a congressman vamping on the floor of congress. Truly the modern day's version of beating each other half to death with canes.
I would have thought vampires in congress would have made more news headlines /s
The lines were redrawn. Therefore she fled because she knew couldn’t win since she won the last election by a mere 500+ votes.
It's literally the first line of the summary. There was a district that most closely matched her previous one, but she's running in a district she doesn't live in because it would be easier to win.
starts a semantic argument
someone immediately proves you wrong
Hahaha hot damn this is the stupid-little-shittest energy have ever seen. Are you a professional?
Hey, we've all been there, genuinely hope your day gets better.
You literally started the argument you're now upset about. For some reason you thought it was important enough to tell me I was wrong, but after people told you your interpretation is wrong (or at best, in your evaluation, pointless) you're suddenly wondering why we're even talking about it.
You didn't read the summary and felt compelled to make a point no one else here or in political coverage agrees with, just tuck your tail and slink away.
Then quit arguing about it. Jesus.
