Ladies and Gentlemen your Drug Warrior in Chief

https://www.washingtonpost.com/inves...=.2ff7564c7724

My representative is possibly the worst guy in Washington. He wants to be your drug czar while being perhaps the biggest drug dealer in the country.

Nice safe gerrymandered district for sale to the highest bidder if he gets the gig. If he doesn't he'll be re-elected in a landslide.

Did you say something? Because I swear you had a legitimate and really important concern about government, but there is so much NOISE going on that nobody can hear you.

Noise to signal is really out of wack right now. This damns both sides of the aisle but my concern is mainly with the dope who gets a free ride in my district. Put through some audio processing, it appears the guy Trump wants to put in charge of the DEA neutered the same because he works for "Big Pharma" not his constituents. The bill he sponsored was written by the subjects of the DEA's policing power. This legislation made it easier to run pill mills and is part of the damn mess that is the opioid crisis. Obama has not explained why he signed the law.

How many more offices remain without leaders? He still has not hired these people almost a year after he was suppose to be hiring people.

Instead of saying, "Your fired", maybe he should learn how to say, "Your hired".

It can't be easy finding people who will pledge their loyalty to him. It's the most important thing to him, above everything else.

Ahhh. So its not really about making America great. Its about making Trump great.

Having exposed that propaganda, then can we get on Trump's Enemies List? Nixon would not have me. Would Trump?

He gave himself a pretty good ovation after his tax yarn, he doesn't need support from others.
