"Also, I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!). Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop - it didn’t," Trump added.
You can order fentanyl from Amazon?
Also, how will all those shippers know what's in the Chinese shipments? Are they going to be opening all the packages? Drug sniffing dogs?
This doesn't seem to be a very well thought plan. Shocking, I know.  |

Since our Congress doesn't have any backbone these days, how about a citizen calling in a "5150" to the police. That'll get him on a psych hold, & maybe we can get some answers on if it's dementia, syphilis of the brain (neurosyphilis), or if his brain just never developed from childhood. |

This came out of the link Kadee74 posted. OK, so we all know Bill Clinton is a pig. And I think we all agree that if he raped girls on Epstein's island, he should go to jail. What does this have to do with Trump's asinine order? Now excuse me while I go order some Fentanyl from Amazon. |

It is interesting to compare and contrast the different reactions to President Obama's comment in a campaign speech of "You didn't build that" and President Trump's ordering American businesses to follow his dictate.

Explain. as usual O.C. is a little slow. at understanding this. There was a large outcry following Obama's words about American businesses and very little reaction to Trump's orders to them. I would think that a President dictating actions that businesses are to take would generate a stronger response than a President offering words in an attempt to change behavior. But that does not appear to be happening. I find that interesting. |

Not sure bills, I think it was two different things.

Not sure bills, I think it was two different things. Very different. President Obama was offering the perspective that business owners should recognize that their success was built, in part, by the existing infrastructure in place prior to starting their business and therefore should be willing to financially support rebuilding and repairing such. President Trump is ordering business owners to engage in action that he had decided they must do. Yes, very different. One is using the bully pulpit in an attempt to encourage action. One is using a perceived power of the presidency to order action. |

In other words OC, what billis is trying to say is that Trump fancies himself a king of sorts where he makes unilateral decisions and orders his loyal subjects to do his bidding.
Or maybe he sees himself as a delusional dictator?! He got the delusional part down pat!

What does this have to do with Trump's asinine order? Now excuse me while I go order some Fentanyl from Amazon. So I was watching last week tonight, which I have taken a real shine to now that Jamie Oliver takes on a different topic each week. This weeks (maybe last week) was on bias in healthcare. Interesting watch, but the relevant part to this was when he brought Wanda Sykes into the convo. Apparently when she got a double mastectomy they sent her home with ibuprofen!!! And they went on to talk about the rates of prescribing in whites vs minorities with narcotics - basically whites get it for everything and minorities often don't when they need it. And I kinda sat there and was like maybe this opioid thing isn't just perpetuated by the drug manufacturers... maybe it wasn't stopped before now because it's a white person drug??? |

Or maybe he sees himself as a delusional dictator?! He got the delusional part down pat! Actually I wasn't trying to say that. I actually said what I meant to say. I was attempting to get OldCoyote to think about the situation. I was working to not get that knee jerk reaction that comes when President Trump is demeaned. But I see OC got the opportunity and took it. Damn. |

I do the compressed thing and didn't expand it so missed the highlight. Nothing requires comment. Posting an comment here is just something to fill some need I am experiencing at the moment I do it. |
