+1. No excuse for what is happening now with fentanyl from China pouring in from Mexico. Biden could stop it by next week if he wanted to. |
I think she said “for personal reasons.” Her son’s problems may have been ongoing. |
Talk about chutzpah. When kids grow up rich "on Stanford's campus" with a Berkeley-alum hyper-connected media mom and Harvard alum dad who's a top jefe at Stanford. Wow, I'm so surprised the gen X kids turned out successful during the tech and dot com boom in SV.

+1. We are supposed to be outraged and give it outsized attention because his parents and grandparents are big shots? This happens over 300 times every single day across the U.S. But the elites don't care since it's largely flyover state prole victims. |
Fentanyl comes to the us via citizens |
It also comes through legal ports of entry - airports, shipping containers on ships, in automobiles, strapped on a person's body, etc. "Biden shut down the border" would mean no trade, no traveling on airplanes, no cars or trucks driving across the border. In other words, turn the U.S. into a prison like Russia or East Germany. Plus hyperinflation due to no cross-border trade. These people are idiots. |
Funny how best selling parenting books are written by rich and powerful dual professor couples who raise their nepo babies on elite university campuses. Wojkicki at Stanford, Tiger Mom at Yale. Totally applicable advice for middle class hoi polloi in West Virginia.

Biden’s administration does not care. They would rather flood the country with illegals while defunding the police. |
Everywhere decriminalization has been tried it’s been a disaster. You can’t make people go to treatment. Maybe we should have laws that make it easier to commit people with untreated mental illness, but the principal foes of that are the same people who are pushing for decriminalization. Enabling disguised as “compassion is not a kindness. |

It’s progressives operating in an imaginary world of “what I wish it was” rather than “what it is.” They do this all the f’ing time, the consequences are always disastrous, & they never learn from it. Migrants, come on in; defund cops; no cash bail; giving drugs to addicts; letting protesters “blow off steam”; being nice to Iran; on & on & on. |
come on, now, PP explained that "Most addicts have trauma and are self medicating"

Woah! What did they give him opioids for? |
+1 I do agree money needs to be funneled into rehab and treatments 100% But wishful thinking about building a more compassionate society is silly. Humans are as compassionate as they’ve ever been and we still have addicts. You can’t wish away abusive parents. You need hard core interventions. Our American addicts give way to so much corruption, cartels, murder, etc in South America - the consequences are much much larger than addicts imagine. |
