opioid drug abuse

Safford, Arizona, Graham County seat is northeast of Tucson and 81% white. In 2016, the county itself-- part of the sprawling first congressional district-- gave Trump a massive 67.2% to 27.6% win over Hillary and gave McCain a similarly lopsided win to John McCain over Ann Kirkpatrick.

by NoahGee, look at this pair of drug-pushing assclowns. Someone even gave the daddy a medal. You almost have to give the Sackler Cartel some kind of credit. After all, they wanted to be honest upstanding citizens of the world and didn't want to do anything illegal like selling heroin or crack. No, they used some of that good old American capitalist ingenuity and invested their money in something worse but legal! Yay, Purdue Pharma!

Last week, someone suggested I switch from using "McKinsey Pete" to "Mayo Pete." Not everyone understood the McKinsey reference and Mayo seems to capture the candidate pretty well. I took the advice and-- BOOM!-- the New York Times was out with their blockbuster report that defined McKinsey really well-- McKinsey Advised Johnson & Johnson On Increasing Opiod Sales. And it isn't just Johnson & Johnson.

Holy Jesus! (And if you know me, you know how respectfully I mean that.) I just watched the new Randy Bryce video. I've never seen a campaign video anything like it. There's not even a photo-- let a lone a mention-- of Bryce or a clue it's a campaign video until about 3:20 minutes into this 3:54 minute video. In fact, I don't think Bryce's name is never mentioned. I guess this is the closest this tragic poem about the opioid crisis comes:

Is the Trump Regime off the rails? Sure looks that way. Where do we even begin?

A few years ago the CDC reported that the 10 highest prescribing states for narcotic painkillers are in the South, with Alabama, Tennessee and West Virginia leading the nation. Last year it was reported that unscrupulous drug manufacturers and distributors have pumped hundreds of millions of prescription opioids into small-town West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, encouraging drug addiction.

The stable genius bragged about how he confronted the tough questions on his mental test-- which basically ask to differentiate between a duck and an elephant and to recognize which hands of a clock show noon and which show 9:30-- and did better than anyone else in history.

An inflammatory tweet yesterday from Anthony Bordain alerted me to a shocking story in the Charleston Gazette-Mail by Eric Eyre, Drug firms shipped 20.8M pain pills to WV town with 2,900 people. Think about that for a second.

Tom Petty was an old friend. The first time we met in person, it involved me watching with amusement while he Dwight Twilley and a journalist friend chasing each other around a hotel room for the last bit on coke in an envelope. I think that was right before or right after the release of American Girl.

Last week was the final gubernatorial debate between the Wall Street Democrat Phil Murphy and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
