As he always does, Trump will come through and fulfill this commitment. The money will be there.

I wish Trump left this issue alone. I wish Trump left the middle east and afghanistan alone.

I wish Trump concentrated on 3 things:
1. Building the Wall
2. Building America
3. Building up the conservative Republican base

All else is superfluous, in my opinion.

Here in PA, the Wolfe Administration is spending millions to provide overdose kits to police. The police use them to revive people who overdose.

So now the kids have “overdose parties”, knowing the police will come and save them.

“Where’s The Money?” It’s in the saving from not buying overdose kits.

I am sympathetic to those who get caught up in drugs, but this may be a problem for Chalres Darwin to solve.

If the geography were South Central Los Angeles and Harlem instead of North Dakota and Kentucky, the solution would be the same as it was for the Crack Epidemic: Mandatory Minimums and body bags.

Everybody knows not to do drugs.

What’s money going to do?

Chris Christie chairs the Committee.

Oh yeah. .

What will happen is those in end of life of pain will be denied a peaceful departure.

Younger addicts will still get their fix, one way or another.

“Opioid epidemic.”

As legitimate as the fictional “autism epidemic.”

I think it’s more an issue of strength of character rather than some stealthy “addiction” accosting an unwary passerby.

I was prescribed codeine for some nerve issues by a doctor. Honestly, the drug barely had an effect on me, except to help me sleep a little. But it certainly wasn’t allowed to get a hold on me.

Stop the opioid epidemi? Prison and wall off the southern border. Nothing else will work.

Kids are notoriously stupid and prone to making bad decisions. I will never be willing to let them die while ignoring the dealers. Never. I think the police need more power to prosecute the war on drugs. Start shooting heroin dealers in the back of the head and watch how this problem goes away. and I’m not even joking. Start killing those MFers.
