Even as more than 100,000 Americans are dying from drug overdoses and poisonings every year, many linked to fentanyl, House Democrats have blocked a plan that would crack down on the deadly substance flowing almost exclusively from the United States-Mexico border into American communities.
This week, 220 House Democrats blocked consideration for Rep. Michelle Fischbach’s (R-MN) Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act to permanently classify fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.
Such a change would make it permanently illegal to sell fentanyl-related substances.
In April, House Democrats blocked consideration of similar legislation that would have cracked down on fentanyl-related substances. Consistent blockage of bills to combat fentanyl overdoses and poisonings comes as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials have warned parents to carry Naloxone in case their child is overdosing on fentanyl.
The warning is in response to concerns that the Mexican drug cartels, trafficking most of all of the China-manufactured fentanyl into the U.S., are targeting children by packaging tens of thousands of fentanyl pills in Skittles and Nerds candy bags along with vape pens.
Most recently, in Phoenix, Arizona, law enforcement investigators seized nearly a million fentanyl pills in a stash house. Just two milligrams of fentanyl can kill one person.

Yup. Found some listed on Mrs rktman’s itemized Bill for her gall bladder surgery.
Getting paid to depopulate.
They are Godless fools - they don’t know how Judas and his blood money ended.
Black Lives Matter?
Outlawing the legitimate use of Fentanyl for oncology patients would be exceedingly cruel.

They give that only to the special patients who need some added probing.
The War on Drugs has been a total failure. The Cartels love it! They make billions delivering tons of fentanyl pills across the border where criminals here distribute it. It kills more people in a week than all privately owned guns ever have but our so called leaders care only about taking our protection from them away. They have caused people like my wife, who has had seven spine surgeries and lives in constant agonizing pain, to be reduced to so little pain medication that she wishes every day that she were dead. I have no doubt that if you were able to trace the drug money you would find a large chuck of it in our elected leaders, like the Biden and Clinton crime families, probably some unelected like Fauchi and Wray. Ever wonder how politicians almost all become millionaires like Pelosi on salaries that don’t support it? We the people have been screwed by these pigs and it needs to end!
Well we are talking demokkkommies here and they can be cruel. On the other hand, the gopE isn’t too good on thinking things through all the way. 😲😎✌
I agree. Why? I think this is a no brainer. It’s obviously in the public interest. To vote against it sends some troubling messages about them. Who’s side are they on? Not ours.
I absolutely believe that, too. There is NO reason this can't be stopped, from military raids on the cartels in Mexico to wholesale execution of drug dealers. It is preposterous to think this cannot be stopped.
I find it interesting that there is NEVER any investigation of who is on the cartel payroll in the USA, from local small town police chiefs all the way up to the Bidens and Clintons. That that issue is never investigates speaks volumes.
Hate burst everyone’s bubble but fentanyl is used in hospital operations, end of life care and as a slow release chronic pain treatment. The benefits are that it’s fast acting (enters and exits quickly) and provides very little euphoria compared to equivalent doses of other narcotics. So outlawing an approved drug because the idiots illegally mix it in with other illegal drugs is just stupid. It’s already illegal for those who are illegally using it.
This is the same BS like outlawing guns because some outlaws use guns.
Disclaimer- I just read the excerpt.
I have brought this up hundreds of times, This is part of the reason they were and are so vehemently against the Wall.
YOU CAN’T HAVE A WAR ON DRUGS WITHOUT DRUGS!!!
Millions of Government Employee Union Members Jobs and their very existence, depends on the free flow of drugs across our border.
Fentanyl has legitimate medical uses.

In my wife’s case, it took away some pain and replaced it with psychosis.
Its just the Democrat's plan to eliminate the homeless. Years ago the dems used them to raze funding and taxed but never intended to salve the problem.
Now they have become a big problem for all the big dem city's and their politicians. Its impacting the party up and down the ticket and could effect the number of congressional seats.
So what to do? Eliminate them. Its the same reason they keep letting all the criminals out of jail. They mostly kill other criminals.
Sure a few regular civilians will die but that's a price the dems are willing to pay. Its a necessary sacrifice for the party and equity.
I’m very sorry to hear that. Fentanyl made my brother’s passing much more tolerable than it would have been without it.

Given the federal government's very few, constitutionally enumerated powers, Congress doesn't have the diversity of powers, the plurality of powers militia-related, to justify making the "compromise" bills that the feuding, constitutionally undefined political parties always seem to be making.
In other words, most federal domestic policy is based on state powers,and state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, that the feds regularly steal from the states with constitutionally indefensible bills imo.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the Unite d States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
One possible remedy for putting an end to the unconstitutional legislation of the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress is for the states to consider the following.
After Trump's red tsunami of patriots supporters wake the states up to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (polularly elected federa senators) Amendments, the states need to further amend the Constitution to require Congress to reference the few constitutional clauses that reasonably justify a bill in every bill that they make.
See post 21 this thread. 😎✌
As if “they” give two craps about the constitution.
Maybe another part of their population control...
