People concerned about the junkies’ dangerous habits put pressure on Pence to declare an emergency and distribute the needles. Keep in mind that, at this point, only 0.0002% of Indianas population was affected.
Pence was resistant as a matter of principle because he was concerned that handing out needles encouraged drug abuse and other dangerous behaviors. This was not unreasonable. In San Francisco, for example, free needles incentivize street drug use and place city residents at high risk of infectious needle sticks.
Within a matter of weeks, however, after having spoken with medical experts and law enforcement, Pence declared a public health emergency and authorized needle exchanges. The Times reported that the entire cycle saw a total of 181 people get HIV 90 before the needle exchanges and 91 after.
“You disagree with me about Global Warming? Why don’t you believe in Science, you racist????”
If I had to choose any politician to give anybody AIDS, it would be the former mayor of Bend Over Indiana, Pete Bungholejudge.
Always always remember that science and the left are not only estranged, they are enemies. Mortal enemies.
The Coronavirus may kill some, but a lot more people are losing their minds over it. The Left will even embrace it if it means getting rid of Donald Trump.
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
Every single day they’re “outraged” over something.
They’re professional “outragers”.
Just ignore em as no one with a lick of sanity really gives a good shite anymore.
This is so comical as they never voiced this in 2016.
the left does not know how to do anything but hate ... and with hate, comes the lying.
Pence is an honorable man and i dont think he could take what they dish out to Trump
“Mike Pence literally does not believe in science.”
So when he jumps in the air.....he (literally) fully expects to be able to fly?
Bill and Hill expected to be leaders of this emerging cult of personality, but the cultist rebelled and shifted their support to an even more toxic figure head in Sanders who has no real base of support in the Democrats elite power structure
The Democrats put him in as a stalking horse to make the eventual establishment candidate look moderate and centrist but there are few moderates or centrists in the base of the modern Democrat party.
This backfired and the stalking horse is now the hunter and he is stalking the Democrat power structure which does not control or own him. Sanders can say and do anything he wants because has absolutely nothing to lose and his lunatic base of young radicals will follow him blindly
Sanders actually is the the kind of dangerous, dictatorial demagogue Democrats have tried to make President Trump out to be and nobody can outbid Bernie on the amount of freebies he is willing to promise to the gullible voters
Bill Ivey to Podesta: And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.
As Bill Ivey wrote to Podesta in a email leaked by wikileaks - And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.
Looks like their thinking was not serious enough and they are being eaten alive by the zombie army they created
Pretty sure it was homos that were spreading hiv, not Mike Pence.
What happened to the threat of WW3? I thought we were promised by the media that Trump was going to start WW3.
