Millions saved from drugs. Reduced prices on drugs by 1,500%. Down is up. In is out. Black is white. Anything goes.
Mango Mussolini: what's illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs.
If Biden had said that the fucking news media would talk non-stop about it for fucking weeks.
The reporter didn't even follow up that answer with "what the fuck did you just say" or anything.
Why didnât anyone immediately follow up with âwhatâs the population of the United States?â

(15,385 posts)then resuscitate you so they can kill you again. I mean, some of these new drugs coming up out of Venezuela are like tootsie roll pops: there's drugs on the outside which kill you almost immediately, then there's the tasty narcan which revives you long enough so you can get to the creamy center full of fentanyl, which kills you immediately again. Fortunately, the stick's made of narcan as well, so you're popped back up, ready and raring to go on the next bag of drugs.
Why, a neighbor of mine has died 17 brazilian times this week alone. It's quite a sight. Plays havoc for the morticians, but that's they're problem, amiright?

(1,454 posts)Not "The problem" but absolutely our problem and part of the reason Trump is in office.
"They show us the Info?" That seems a little incomplete.

The media know he's a vengeful mob boss who's an expert at extortion methods so they don't want to get sued.

(2,920 posts)but I would have noticed if 9 out of every 10 people had died. For one thing, I would see more job vacancies. It would probably be easier to get a table for Saturday dinner at my favorite restaurant. And I could park right out front.

You can unfortunately imagine his reasoning here. Hes about as brilliant as a dog hiding behind a curtain. A million just isnt as much as it used to be you know - you gotta go bigger now. Gotta make it bigger.
Yeah. Numbers mean NOTHING now.

(1,206 posts)Boat strike was illegal, the shitstain says 300 million people died from drugs.
So repukes heard, some dark skinned people are complaning about strike, trump said , ignore the strike they killed millions.
The repukes then think, how the hell could dems be supporting people that killed over 300 million.
Anthing racial, just move on, they are too ignorant to even try and engage.

(671 posts)There's a scene:
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: (quietly) Germans?
Boon: (quietly) Forget it, he's rolling.
I think that's how his supporters view Donald Trump. They know he's talking nonsense. Forget it, he's rolling.
I remember back in the day that I would tell speech classes that certain speeches were so important that they were read. Chiefly among them was a presidential speech. Back at that time, Clinton began diverting from the written speech with a few comments here and there. This was considered troublesome.
Another type of speech that is read is when there are legal implications. Example: product tampering. A company CEO would be very careful to read the speech. Litigation of course.
Now we have digressed to the point where pulling numbers out of the air is rolling.

Just because tRump makes up numbers does not mean everybody makes up numbers.
Please stop the binary thinking and binary statements. They are nihilistic and not helpful.
