Trump blames Canada on fentanyl deaths

Karoline is a fat mouthed, lying liar, just like her boss.

She states last year there was a 2,000% increase in fentanyl (whatever that means). By what measure or metric is this statistic derived? According to the DEA seizures of fentanyl in 2024 declined from ~27,000 pounds to ~21,900 pounds, a 19% decrease year over year. She's claiming it increased by a factor of 20. Such an obvious lie to anyone paying attention.

Furthermore, in 2024 the US experienced the first decline in drug overdose deaths since 2018 with a 14.5% decrease in deaths from June 2023 to June 2024.

If these journalists were doing their jobs, they would be pressing insolent Barbie for her sources of these statistical fantasies.
Rarely pushback.

So they get what they get, then? Be careful talking like that. People might start mistaking you for a Republican.
The only way to eliminate the problem would be to legalize and regulate these as recreational drugs. Anytime you buy something on the streets you are taking a risk.

Those drugs already are legal and regulated. The problem is that if someone can’t get them through “official” channels then they’re going to get them however they can. Or maybe they just prefer buying them from alternate sources on the internet because it’s less expensive or it’s more
convenient because they don’t have to deal with going back to their doctor repeatedly to keep getting their scrip renewed.

They are legal through prescription. People that get hooked buy them off the street. If they were legal as recreational drugs those people would get the same quality drugs as the prescription medication.

So when you said ‘legalize and regulate as recreational’ what you meant was make them
legal for anyone to buy as much as they want anytime they want, like we currently do in some states with recreational marijuana? Because it seems like things could get a little dicey letting people buy and use as much Oxy or Adderall as they want to.

Yes, why not? We let people buy as much alcohol as they want. The drug war is like prohibition. It doesn't stop people from using, it just makes it more dangerous and creates more criminal activity.

She's talking to maganazis, so it isn't likely they are paying attention.
 
Desperate people make desperate choices. If someone is suffering from chronic debilitating pain and doesn’t have access to licensed meds for whatever reason, they’re going to take what they can get.

The ironic thing about the “just let ‘em die” stance is that many of the same people espousing that point of view also think we should just legalize everything.

I think based on the experience in Portugal that deaths and addiction would decrease if things were decriminalized, plus we could spend the money we currently do prosecuting it to preventing or treating it and I think it would make us better off.

Portland tried it and did not have a similar experience.
 
It’s dismissive to label anyone who buys meds from unlicensed sources as a a junkie who makes poor life decisions. Illegal online pharmacies are more sophisticated and more deceptive than ever before. Even people who have a legitimate scrip can be tricked into buying illegal pills that might be laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

Like who? Find one non lunatic poster or elected Dem saying this for me. Fentanyl and weed aren't remotely similar.

Are you seriously questioning whether we have posters on this board who think we should legalize all drugs? Because there are quite a few.

Kevin Hassett was the senior advisor and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 2017 to 2019. He coauthored Dow 36,000, published in 1999, which argued that the stock market was about to have a massive swing upward and would reach 36,000 by 2004.[1] Shortly thereafter, the dot-com bubble burst, causing a massive decline in stock market prices. The Dow did not reach 36,000 until late 2021. (After Biden became the f'ing president)

Aside from a pretty misogynistic statement what else have you got?
 
The issue with fentanyl is that the cartels are producing counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl. So people take a pill thinking it’s one thing and instead they get a lethal dose of fentanyl.

The tariffs had nothing to do with Fentanyl 2 weeks ago. It was all about Canada and Mexico picking on the poor U.S. after the Orange Turd had signed the greatest trade agreement in history.

Now, today it all about the drug.

Does anyone in this administration know what to say? A clown show of incompetents led by a mentally challenged convicted felon.

Schiff: "I was just listening to your guest [Hassett] trying to explain that these on-again off-again tariffs are not about trade. It's a drug war, but next month it's a trade war, but now it's a drug war. It was incomprehensible ... they're destroying the economy. That's where we need to focus."
 
There was a popular story the other day in the NYT that offered up three ideas:

- Hotel ventures that went bust. Both were licensed to use the Trump brand.

- Picture of Trudeau that looked like he was about to kiss Melania (below)

- Transactional nature of Trump, acquiring Canada as 51st state and its minerals would be the ultimate real estate deal

I remember listening to her 1sr press conference. A question was asked if she always would be honest, or tell the truth.

She said yes. Now, being not being honest is different from not telling the truth. You can simply not answer questions to avoid being dishonest or elect to answer questions and interject lies.

Her giddy loyalty is excessive to a state of worship which compromises integrity she brings in front of the press. Constant adulation of the Orange Turd serves no purpose.

You might very well be correct about that. I have no idea how much of this is Trump legitimately trying to curb the flow of fentanyl.

I was simply addressing the issue of posters saying that if Americans want to throw their lives away taking fentanyl then we should just let them die. Because that mindset demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the fentanyl crisis.

The point of the statement is she’s a damn liar. The misogyny from my angle fits perfectly within the acceptable behavior of the current administration, I’m just throwing it out there to match their own attitude.
