If a case and a half of lite beer per week doesn’t do it for you then I don’t know what to tell ya.
The left never passes up an opportunity to make doublethink work in real life. Just another way to prop up the “big lie” of the invaders merely seeking a “better life”, never mind the utter lack of will to improve their own failing country as if it were about to become uninhabitable.
I’m surprised Huffington posted this article as it goes against their agenda to have wide open borders. …
The Communists are further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality. …This is dogma to a leftist. It does not matter what results from doing it; if Marx said it, it must be a good thing, per their indoctrination. And since the USA has been the greatest enemy of international socialism, that is the country it has to happen to on the greatest scale.

The fault is not with President Trump.
Get your head out.
95% of all non-pharmaceutical opium comes from Afghanistan. Yes, the same Afghanistan where we have set the rules for the last 16 years.
There’s a reason Keith Richards gave up heroin. It’s because the quality began to stink and it probably still does. I have little sympathy for addicts and don’t feel it’s a disease but I’ve always been blessed with very good will power except when it comes to a fine beer. The current problem lies with the drug companies and the government that enabled the situation to begin with.
If BP reasonably believes Mexicans crossing are cartel mules they should shoot them on sight.
What are we more concerned about: narcoterrorists or Americans?
Our government admits we are in a war on drugs.
The Mexican government purports to support this war on drugs.
If they object to shooting heroin dealers, then they are lying.
Presumably we would like to win this war.
If our government lacks the stomach to win this 50 year old war, then presumably they plan to ‘stretch it out’ for whatever reasons, like our 25 year war against terror in the Middle east.
Shoot Mexican narco-terrorists on sight. That’s how you win was: by killing the enemy.
It's all about the money, baby. Stories like this sell. Everybody loves dirty laundry.

“There is a Beast in our cities and towns. And that Beast has one mission; to kill your son, to murder your daughter, or to totally destroy somebody you love.”
One of my high school classmate’s daughter (30 yr old) died from a heroin overdose last week.
This happened in S Colorado. Not that far from MX.
suspect he thinks the 20 UNIT marking on a standard insulin syringe means CC
But HuffPo thinks simply warning about heroin is the solution, not stopping the river.
Maybe we cannot save them all but we have a damn good chance of saving a whole bunch of America’s finest before the Beast buries them in a cold dark coffin.
From article:

So HuffPo is not prolife. Or since HuffPo is proabortion, murder them in the womb before they are born.
And the Republican solution is: Add billions in ObamaCare spending for opioid “treatment”.
I’m supposed to care now that it’s moved from the inner cities out to the suburbs? I’d say the same prison or death approach still applies.
The problem is worse, much much worse, than he makes it sound.
Heroin was the problem, but people could use it for decades and still survive. The problem today is Fentanyl and its analogs. They are *factors* stronger than heroin, and can kill in some cases with just micrograms.
An Equianalgesic table shows the relative strength of pain relieving drugs. Its baseline, rated at “1”, is pure morphine. So drugs are either rated as fractions of 1, or multiples of 1. This is a very useful link to have as a reference.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equianalgesic
Fentanyl, the strongest opioid legal in the US, and then only in patch form, is 50-100 times stronger than *pure morphine*. Its equivalent dose to pure morphine is just
100 µg (100 micrograms), a thousandth of a milligram.
One of Fentanyl’s analogs, chemically similar to it, is Carfentanil. It is 10,000-100,000 times stronger than *pure morphine*.
Pure heroin is just 4-5 times stronger than pure morphine.
Until recently, when China finally outlawed it, there were thousands of clandestine labs producing very inexpensive Fentanyl and its analogs. And entire *kilogram* of Carfentanil cost around $1,250 (US).
One smuggler was arrested in Canada with a kilogram of it, and another in Florida with 4 kilograms of it.
The RCMP says that about 20µg, twenty micrograms, is about enough to overdose a person.
This means that there is enough Carfentanil in a kilogram to overdose 50,000,000 people. Enough to kill every person in:
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, and
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area, and
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area, and
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Which means that Carfentanil is a nuclear weapons class weapon of mass destruction, in the megatons range.
To the author: You CHOSE to become an addict by sticking that first needle into your arm or some other body part. Good for you, having kicked the addiction, but absolutely zero sympathy for those who can’t or won’t kick.
To GrandJediMasterYoda: Had those additional 40,000 not ODd, would our country be any better off? They’d just be breaking other laws, using other substances. By CHOICE.
