It’s a shame The Stupid Party (GOP) doesn’t bother mentioning this. Trump brings up the opioid issue but almost no one mentions the VOLUME or the numbers effects on lives.

Judging by the recent seizure of Chinese sourced narcotics that leave 51,000# potentially unaccounted for out of the shipment it came from.

I do believe it is war. About a year ago there was a fentanyl bust of this size in Canada, on the waterfront across the way from New York. They can sell it or they can just dump it in the municipal water supply. That size of a bust isn’t a drug cache, it’s more like an ammo dump. War by any other name is still war.

I have three friends now who’s sons have died from the stuff. Had no idea they were going through this but we’re in different parts of the country. The manufacturers and dealers should annihilated.

Would fentanyl in the water supply kill people? Would it produce deadly crops if it’s used for irrigation? The ability to kill that many people with these poisons does sound like an act of war.

The President's trade deal demands would kill Red China's fentanyl industry. That what's got the Commies’ knickers in a twist.

23 tons of the shit left on our doorstep by the Chinese. That's a WMD. That’s chemical warfare.

Give a warning before the second nuke is detonated.

We keep hearing that 90% of illegal drugs are coming up from through our southern border, but nothing about where the guns are coming from.

Chicago did a study in 2016 and found out the guns confiscated during violent crimes none were legal. How did they get there?

Had to google “Tyler Skaggs” since he must have been someone famous. I found out he was just another junkie.

We should return it to China in secret drops by B-2 aircraft into Chinese lakes....then let them know we did and they have to guess which lakes.

I bet that would give them motivation to stop this crap.

This is the actual opioid crisis

Fentanyl in heroin and bootleg dope

Man I’m glad Colombian quaaludes didn’t have fentanyl

Colombians are more sophisticated than Bean people

I’m an expert on Latino culture and it’s true

Colombians were more careful about good product

Not so much anymore...no longer any solvents worth washing coca leaves in and you can tell from what I’ve seen when some on occasion presents itself to me which i of course decline

I can’t imagine anyone smoke Colombian pot anymore considering
