I wish I was joking but that is indeed that dumbshit's plan. Read it and weep.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed his administration would beat the opioid epidemic by beefing up law enforcement and strengthening security on the southern border to stop illegal drugs from entering the country.

3. These are prescription drugs for the most part.

Are they bringing prescriptions over the border ?

4. No one expected him to say anything else did they?

The wall and knocking heads, that's about all he knows.

5. Is anyone surprised that this is where all the hand-waving about this "drug crisis" ended up?

Oh, we were gonna start treating addiction as a public health issue instead of filling our prisons with more drug users?

Right. Sure we were.

In the meantime, good luck getting decent pain management the next time you get, say, bone cancer. You'll be told by a Dr. terrified of the DEA to suck it up and do yoga, most likely.

Hooray!
