Reading an article about a conservative Gen Z influencer who became far-right after someone "who appeared to be on fentanyl" punched him in the head. That guy is probably dead or dying, but this dude will only ever care about a bruise long gone.

NBC News reported a "dramatic plunge in #Fentanyl Deaths."
But before the #DonTheCon Administration starts taking bows, check the date span of that plunge: 
#ThankYouJoe #Biden
It's wild to me how Breaking Bad is kind of happening for real in Mexico with college chemistry majors.
Really wish the US would just legalize and regulate everything.
I was reading about Xi Jinping's life (eventful!) and thinking about Trump's life and I think I know who is going to win this....
Continued thread
The WH clarified that the 125% tariff rate on #China is in addition to Trump’s previous 20% tariff on China for its role in supplying #fentanyl & fentanyl precursors. So Trump has added #tariffs of 145% to China since coming into office.
This is on top of levies Trump put on China in his 1st term, which ranged up to 25% They also go on top of other tariffs the US has put on Chinese products for violating #trade rules, as well as Trump’s #tariffs on #steel, #aluminum & #cars.
Interesting expansion on actual #fentanyl movement in Canada.
The low volume at the border is more indicative of ineffective policing methods and lack of manpower.
There seems to be an overlap with the recent growth in trucking industry as a drug vector and much relaxed #immigration regulation.

Impeachment is STILL an option.
Maybe not over the tariffs [1] per se. But absolutely because the insane stink of this may be the smelling salts some GOP holdouts need to stop looking the other way on the felon's MANY impeachable crimes, not wanting the smell to rub off.
Plus the outcomes of the Wisconsin and Florida votes [2] could give them hope a primary threat can be beat. And they might FINALLY feel their greatest security is not as Friends of The Felon. Even though Dems lost the special elections, it was not by much. The GOP needs to read the room.
And the Dems need to throw them a lifeline if they try to act sanely. It would be terrible to lose democracy over a gripe about a few individuals who took way too long to see reason but finally did, and angry Dems thinking it was more important to see that injustice righted than Democracy saved. Politics is messy, and right now it matters to save the Constitution.
Well, not that I think impeaching the felon would put the Constitution in the clear. Vance is still a VERY dangerous guy [3] who wants an empire, not a republic. But one problem at a time.
It's really time for an impeachment.
Or even use of the 25th amendment, though on different grounds. The fact that he launched a trade war with penguins is one. [4] The biz about tariffs on smuggled fentanyl is another. [5]

www.bbc.comTrump gambles it all on global tariffs he's wanted for decadesThe president acknowledged that he will face pushback from some, but he urged Americans to trust his instincts.
The dollar is tanking. Prices are up. Stocks are down. Is America great yet? I’m not seeing it. Gas price went up 12 cents a gallon from yesterday here in the Midwest. Eggs are still high.
But at least there is a tariff on that Canada fentanyl. Gold prices are at record highs. We have that to be thankful for. I feel safer now that those Canadian drug dealers will sell elsewhere. Lol. #fentanyl #America #american #canada #canadian #tariff #inflation #drugs #1stFelon #felon #president

“The president has justified the imposition of these #tariffs on, in my view, a made-up emergency,” said Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia & the lead sponsor of the resolution. “The #fentanyl emergency is from #Mexico & #China. It’s not from #Canada.”
The resolution… seeks to revoke the emergency declaration &, with it, #Trump’s ability to enforce the tariffs set to go into effect on Wednesday.

Trump is pressuring former Senate #GOP Leader #MitchMcConnell & other #Republicans he’s labeled “disloyal” in the upper chamber to vote against Democrats’ resolution to bar his #EmergencyDeclaration to impose tariffs on Canada, [urging them to]"...get on the Republican bandwagon & fight #Democrats wild & flagrant push to not penalize #Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of #Fentanyl...”
In case you missed it. The president of the United States said he would put a tariff on the illegal fentanyl that is coming into our country from Canada. Does this sound like a sane person? #USA #president #America #Canada #fentanyl
Huh, looks like US #fentanyl deaths are way down bc of measures the Biden admin took. Wonder why #Trump is saying there’s an emergency and it’s #Canada ‘s fault?

CBCANALYSIS | Trump administration narrows reach of law targeting drug cartels. Here's why the move is under attack | CBC NewsLawmakers and anti-corruption groups are knocking the Trump administration’s recent blunting of a U.S. law targeting drug cartels while he continued to maintain fentanyl trafficking as justification for a trade war against Canada.
Fund the Canadian Fentanyl source that has generated so much righteous outrage here in the US!
Still investigating what happens from there. Our top sleuth believes the raw fentanyl is boiled down and taken to the library that straddles the CAN-US border.
You should be able to find it in the non-fiction section of the library shelves under the letter F.
