Rampell: Do you know that there actually was bipartisan legislation intended to to increase our fentanyl detection technologies at the border. And Trump killed it.

I can’t stand this Scott Jennings no longer! Why are they giving him a microphone at cnn 🎤! The power of the microphone: stop it! Ship him to Fox News!
This is part and parcel to why I will never watch legacy media again. These are not debatable facts yet they attempt to both sides everything and give oxygen to misinformation.
This is all manufactured outrage. Here are the tariffs enforced right now: Steel 25%, aluminum 10% tariffs under Biden administration. Section 301: 25-100% on Chinese goods (EVs, batteries, solar, semiconductors). New tariffs on Russian aluminum. Average US tariff on industrial goods is 2.0%.
Trump Is Trying To Justify Tariffs And Deflecting From His Ignorance How Tariffs Work—Tariffs Destroy U.S. Economy And Americans Financially —By Claiming Canada And Mexico Are The Problem—And Not Trump’s Complete Economic Incompetence And Ignorance!
Canada Caught 2x More Trafficked Drugs Than U.S.! 95% Of Drugs Trafficked From Mexico To US Is By American Citizens!
Trump Killed Border Bill; High-Tech Security/Drug Detection Equipment, Extend Wall And 1,500 More Border Patrols! Now Blames Canada/Mexico For His Ignorant Incompetence!
Pardon my language. I fucking hate these fucking Gish galloping motherfuckers. Anybody can win any argument that way, ignore fact, ignore what your opponent is saying just put your points through no matter what you hear said.
Jennings: Trump won, therefore you cannot speak of any time before Trump won. There is no before, only now. Unless I need to criticize Biden, then there is a past. But just for that.
I wish CNN would fire Scott Jennings. He's just a gaslighting mouthpiece for TFG. Offers no constructive insights to the conversations. And his smirks makes me want to slap them right off his face.
I would watch a full hour of nothing but @crampell.bsky.social taking down Scott Jennings, it would probably be the only time that I dont immediately change the channel when he is on air.
Surely CNN can find a better conservative commentator. Scott Jennings seems incapable of even simple debate. It’s nearly always obfuscation if not outright gaslighting. And when he’s rolled, his response is often “I’m not answerable to you”. Um, given you’re on a panel show, yes you are.
All these Republicans that were acting halfway reasonable before the election have gone full maga now. It didn't take long for all of them to kneel before zod
Why does CNN have this douche canoe on their show? He lies. He spins and echos the right-wing memo talking points. CNN you're not getting across to MAGA with this guy on your show, you're only perpetuating the lies.
They know trump has bad policies. They know he's a rapist. They know he's responsible for the insurrection. They know he's responsible for inflation. They don't care because he hates immigrants.
This buffoonery reinforces my disbelieve of the vote count. We need end2end encrypted fully auditable voting machines/ballot readers, & ballots with signatures actually on them. Until then, one person in a parking lot with a laptop can flip an entire state & be untraceable https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12041084/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Scott Jennings is such a clown. He defends Trump's every endeavor, even when Trump's (tariffs, national security, national debt, defending democracy) endeavors are completely anti conservatism.
“It’s not the only solution” .. so it’s an admitted solution but ok to reject that solution because it’s one provided by opposition and then look to other ones instead (one that’s been tried and failed too)
Why not include it in whatever concept of a plan there is ?
And where do the cartels get their guns and ammo from to terrorise and intimidate so they can ship drugs? The USA - with the slackest regulation of sales of para-military weaponry this side of Mogadishu. The 2nd Amendment is a domestic problem- but the USA exported it.
these people are not serious about anything jeezus how is anybody supposed to do anything when every answer to anything is "trump good derr " fuck these people
Trump is busy installing loyalists! He doesn't give a crap about fentanyl at the border or anything else, he wants a dictatorship! The words of Kevin Roberts of Heritage Foundation, bloodless if the left allows it to be. 🤔🤷
There is a really frustrating trait in pretty much all MAGAs… they talk over you with lies.
Also, I can’t stand the “we need to look forward” bullshit. Moving past egregious behavior is what got us here.
Why does CNN think that any decent American would spend time watching Scott Jennings. And Trumpers are never going to watch CNN, even if it allows Jennings to spew lies.
JC he just loooves to perpetrate and create drama, no solutions. She was great. I didn’t see this segment. Did anyone else at the table support her comments? I’m so sick of this 🤬
Jennings cannot have a civil conversation anymore about the issues. Generalizations and talking over people is the strategy and there are no thoughtful Republican pundits to have actual conversations with.
Alcohol and tobacco kill 10 - 25 times more Americans than narcotics every year.
I'm not really feeling the 'crisis' of saving addicts.
How about we legalize it or they stop buying dope.
WHY is an addict's life more precious than a smoker's?
Ok jennings, go peel potatoes. There once was a time I lived listening to you. Not anymore though. Squeeling like a premature piglet more and more. Your reasoning is so friggin off...
This is where mainstream media is failing us miserably. They create these round tables where Republicans are allowed to make their own version of the truth. Completely contrary to reality. And if they just yell it loud enough the lemmings believe. Moderators have to step in in call lies lies.period.
This is the problem with republicans on these shows and in general. No numbers. No facts. No truth. Just gut feelings. You can just show up and say “Mexico has to do something” without knowing or caring what has been done.
Scott Jennings is an insufferable, eye rolling fan boy. Trust him.. he comes from the Bush W whitehouse 🤣 They left our country w/ 9/11 , Afghanistan, Iraq, The Patrtiot act , Putins Soul peering , WTF else
If Trump truly wanted Americans to believe the border problem was a crisis, he would not have ordered Repubs to kill the bipartisan border bill 8 months ago. To Catherine Rampell’s point, how many have died of fentanyl poisoning since then? Doing nothing so he could campaign on it had consequences.
How about addressing demand for fentanyl, not just supply?
Why do Americans want fentanyl so badly?
Why are so many desperate to exchange the misery of their lives for a dangerous sedation?
When reality sucks, drugs sell like half-priced cheeseburgers.
I just realized - I'm sooooo not into fiery debates on TV these days. Didn't hear this one but most others, you can't even understand what they're saying at times and it never goes anywhere.
@cnn what is the point of these yelling tables? Where we have people who truly know factual information yet have to argue with and talk over people who parrot right wing propaganda. When will this nonsense end?
When will they ask the question of why so many Americans have become addicted? It’s not just because it’s around. People don’t started shooting up and snorting drugs because they’re happy. We are the damn problem.
I haven’t watched cable news since Biden’s inauguration. I deactivated my Twitter last week. Trying to get this account going because I ignored it for so long. I’m on threads BUT same attention I gave this and probably will delete.
Me three. I don't own a tv--I choose what I watch via my laptop & I choose not to watch or contribute one damn click to MSM who foisted that orange rapist, traitor, & felon on us to further the oligarch's & to line their own coffers.
Same. I still read Pro Publica and local outlets - TN Holler, Lookout, and the Tennessean. Also https://AL.com, which won the Pulitzer recently. And I do watch Phil Williams on the Nashville outlet.
Me too..I am sick of Jennings and O'Leary. Who really GAF about what they think? Abbey Phillips needs to insist that she doesn't get the flunkies on her show.
They need a crisis. They can’t win without a crisis, and they know that they used the word caravan to scare maggots, and they scare so easily. They are so easily scared by everything because maggots have no backbone.
He can't even deal with the conversation topic, has to pivot to his Twitter-brained talking points as if her point was just to be salty about Trump winning the election. She was pointing out that his ENTIRE PARTY on behest of Trump killed a solution for the border issues. Pivot and deflect, folks.
Jennings. What a P.A.B. Hell of a way to spend your one shot on this planet. Fluffing Trump's balls. Jennings is a #Pearlfish. Look up where the Pearlfish lives....
Why do grow men NEVER,take responsibility?! Just why, all sides,ACCUSE RIGHT AWAY?Just ONCE in real life doesn't one ever say,"Yea, we fucked up, we need to come together and fix this for the sake of our brothers&sisters" WHY? We live amongst so many pussy MF'S! I have no prob admitting I am wrong!🤷♀️
Scott Jennings is a hypocrite. He’s happy Americans have a fifth grade reading comprehension level. He gets to peddle shit and Americans believe his shit. Back in the 1980’s he get his shit beat out of him. America is a stupid country now. Love to knock that smug as grin right off his face.

Course MAGA thinks it’s Dems making stuff up even after the election.
Some say he’s a master negotiator combined with his projected strength he puts America first. 🤣

No journalistic integrity,
Fuck them. And fuck Morning Joe.
How much suffering and how much effort to turn him out remain to be seen.

Tune out…
No Scott, the battle didn’t start cause Trump killed it to keep Biden from a win. Keep taking over her cause you know you can’t win on facts.
Why do Americans want fentanyl so badly?

And this is now the only SM platform I’m on as well.
🎶This is it🎶
Trump, not so much. Are we the new banana republic?
