If he really is pro death penalty for drug dealers can he include Ollie North other Reagan administration officials and the U.S. supported Nicaraguan Contras? The 1980’s crack wars did not occur by happenstance.
“The ultimate penalty has to be the death penalty.”
That’s a pretty harsh legal penalty, but I suppose I might eventually come around to supporting it…
For ruble laundering or treason.
I’m sure the NRA would be happy to provide the firing squads… Might soothe their extreme butt-hurt…
NRA: Our members are the real victims of the Parkland shooting
Keep dreaming, Trumpski. That’s not going to happen.
There it is again…
“Winning”
This is not about ”winning” you dipshit (also how does one “[win] a problem”?)
I was a member of the the USCG, I was part of the pointy end of the spear in the “War on Drugs”… and guess what! WE’RE LOSING!
Why are we losing? It sure as shit isn’t because we’re too “nice” or not “tough” enough. It’s because ass hats like you think that is the way to fight it. Seriously, dipshit, the cartels will never be afraid of you, dealers and runners are expendable to them. Why? Because they are more often than not poor motherfuckers who either see it as the only way to drag themselves out of poverty or or were dragooned into by force. You can send a thousand dealers to death row… and another thousand will take their place. The bosses? They’ll get their money either way. Because you ain’t doing shit about the real problem… The Demand!
You aren’t going to be able to kill or incarcerate the demand. You will only get rid of it by curing it, by appoarching this problem like what it is… A disease. We need to Treat this problem not Fight it. It’s an epidemic not a war!
I agree. Corporate death for Phizer, McKesson, et al. That’s what he means, right? I don’t think the problem here is a brown man on a corner. Since post-Citizens United, Corporations are people too, I am all-in on a death penalty. Even here in California where we have the human DP on hold for the time being.
Uncle Putie will give Donnie an “insiders” price on Novichuk…
Keep in mind that Trump lives in a 1980’s cartoon version of reality because his hippocampus stopped recording in 1982. Therefore, when he speaks of “drug dealers”, he is, in his addled mind, referring to a caricature of brown people analogous to Reagan’s Cadillac driving, filet mignon eating welfare queen.
“Toughness is the thing that they most fear,” Trump said.
Sometimes the comments really do write themselves.
I can go along with that as long as it includes a treasonous backstabbing pathological liar impersonating a president.
Cali, Columbia? Cool!
Will the death penalty be applied to the pharmacist that dispensed the opioids, or to the doctor who prescribed them? Or both? The epidemic is much bigger than stuff purchased on the streets, and started in the examining room.
This is the part of it that Republicans refuse to address.
They always want to characterize it as innocent white people being coerced by scary black dealers on the corner to buy the scary drugs and getting hopelessly hooked and then dieing because that’s what the dealer wants… to kill his customers…
When in reality, as an EMT, the story I hear is always the same. It started as an injury or a chronic illness, their doctor prescribed opiates and it just ballooned from there. I have only been to one heroin OD… and they had Narcan… all the other opioid OD’s I’ve been to… they had a prescription.
Not just “corporate death”, but this death penalty should be for the very top kingpins of opioid trafficking, the CEOs of Pfizer, Merck, McKesson, Teva, Johnson & Johnson, Janssen, Allegran, etc., etc., etc.
Yea, that will be the day.
What’s the penalty for killing America’s reputation?
I am pretty sure these days, I wish. Not 430 days ago, but I do now.
Thus spake PuPPet during Opioid Week.
Hospital ERs and the dispensing physicians have to address their role in this. Other pain therapy is available that does not include drugs but uses meditation, psychotherapy, etc but still is in the experimental stage,
Opiods are a perfectly reasonable part of pain management, if carefully dispensed and monitored. But neither of those typically happens, because it would cost money and reduce profits.
