I heard from heroin addicts that heroin addicts never really recover. They just stop using until they use again. Smart move giving this guy the reins to America’s health.
The only reason he stopped was his arrest, and the money laundering charges attached to it means he did way more with heroin than shoot it into his own veins.
It's also incredibly dumb to even think tariffs would affect the drug prices, you know....the ones that are being smuggled past security clearances that they're already not paying taxes on? Lol
It's about giving the base a "reason" that tariffs are a useful weapon. He declares victory getting Mexico to agree to do something, and tells his base this is why they have to pay higher prices for everything in return.
Everything that needs fixing will now simply be another tariff on something.
Trump is threatening tariffs on Mexico so he can look like he’s doing something to cartel drugs or border crossings . When he takes office, he will say it’s all down now there’s no problem he fixed it . It’s a stunt
The reason they come into the US - usually brought thru ports of entry by American citizens, btw - is because millions of Americans use drugs - That's on us, not Mexico.
That’s the point: more profits for Big Pharma, at the expense of the rest of us. And of course rich white men won’t be prosecuted for drug abuse — they never have been. More racism & class warfare.
Just got my prescription confirmed from Canadian Rx. I need 60 pills/month.
Canadian Rx = 75 cents per pill. In the US I pay $9.78 per pill. Health care in the US is a scam.
Drugs and guns are coming here into Canada from the U.S. but Trump wants to impose a 25% tariff on the $440B in exports per year? The spike is only since April 2024 and will likely reverse itself when Trump assumes office. Had migrants coming from the U.S. into Canada in his last term.
It's crazy. I get them from Canada for $44/month right now. Biden negotiated them down by 50% for Medicare, but that is still $250/month. Crazy that it is so much cheaper outside the US. Big Pharma owns Congress.
Is the money just the only reason that she is doing the boot licking ? Ain't she got enough money from #curb #curbyourenthusiasm #larrydavid #jerryseinfeld #jasonalexander #JBSmoove #WandaSykes Looks like most of her friends are hiding out of @bsky.app and hunkering down at the bad place.
Exactly, Patty! Absolutely ridiculous. Cheryl too. Every bit as much. Trump's picks are already hurting us. And woww, RFKJ, is majorly terrible! *Sigh*

Not anymore—too dark.
A man who ate a lot of tuna fish knowing there was mercury in it. He got mercury poisoning. Now he wants to tell us what we can do for our health.
I think the heroin addict suffered permanent brain damage.
This is what happens when an anti-vaccine, junk science devotee has a position of power and influence and is unable to take responsibility for their actions. People die.
She doesn’t care. Just like Melania doesn’t care. The power of the name, the money…that’s all that matters. They wear these gross, moral-free men like expensive handbags. Just to show off. #sad
Please note my use of the words "to you." I know plenty about addiction. I used heroin for 12 years. I asked the question for the sake of clarification on just that very note.
No it really doesn’t-BUT when they are inherently awful to others struggling with addiction & become morally‘superior’ - it’s not cool - Plus he’s a science denying quack!
If I met someone who had a sexual or porn addiction I would turn around and run as fast as possible. Every one I’ve known in that situation ended up divorced.
If only Cheryl Hines knew this. Sexual addiction is dangerous. STDs. Blackmail. Stolen jewelry. Missing money in bank. A friend of mine experienced this. RUN. Let them go.
Since you mentioned this I have a thought
I'm pretty old I know all kinds of people. I know hermon addicts of many years are more than likely still using methadone. I'm just saying I bet the dude's not completely clean. Just legal.
I'm pro regulation and decriminalisation. May as well put addicts on medical grade H for the rest of their lives. It's safer and kills the black market stone dead.
Could happen to anyone. They need help not vilification. Yet another argument for universal healthcare as a human right.
Absolutely agree. I stopped watching broadcast news a couple of years ago & in large part because I couldn’t listen to his idiocy any longer. I swear I lost brain cells every time he spoke.
Actually, that’s the least of my problems with this guy. I’ve known heroin addicts that got on quite fine in life (but they had the means to support the addiction). This guy is just wacko.
You could tell horror stories about that guy all day long and not run out. He cheated on all of his wives.
That one was pregnant by him before he divorced the first.
I have no idea why his latest is standing by him.
She should know better.
“But, it’s okay. You balanced that out by killing a baby bear, cutting a whale’s head off, getting a brain worm, molesting the nanny, and moving your dead wife’s grave. So, this is why I love you so.”
was pretty commonly used in the UK into the postwar era - the reason heroin isn't used has to largely due with politics, and also a plethora of opioids like fentanyl that were available as alternatives (it is also still used in many countries for heroin assisted treatment)
So was heroin before synthetic opioids. Fentanyl has a small niche where it is appropriate, in extreme terminal cases or acute chronic pain requiring 24/7 care It can only be safely administered by a physician. It should never have been made available to wealthy idiots by greedy unethical physicians
Why does every story RFK Jr. says sound incredibly implausible? He went to one party, did LSD, went into the woods that night, took meth, then got hooked on smack the next month. It's like the lost verse of "Like a Boss"
Stories from friends who lived nearby the Kennedy family talk of these guys being very bad kids who got away with doing illegal drugs like they were untouchable. They also were abusive towards girls in their circles. One friend says that they’re really scumbag rich kids. RFKJr. Is not a good guy.
It's clear that he's not a good guy and I believe the other stories. The thing I find implausible is the whole one night aspect and the random guy he met which turned him into a "functioning" junkie.
And right-wingers hate Hollywood (her husband is on the side of those people).
Are they sitting down for a dead pet dog or dead pet cat found on the road dinner today? He loves rotten carcasses that have been laying in the hot sun for days on the side of some road.
The implied incredulity can be for a number of reasons:
You did heroine for 15 years. Why?
Or, how did you survive 15 years on heroin ? Clean supply?
You did heroin for 15 years and now you are the Health Czar. WTAF??
I recognized him and texted my friends who love Lost first, actually! I just never watched that far into the show. They were the ones who said, “then maybe his wife is there,” and I looked up and there she was.
I stood up for her weeks ago on threads, because women often get judged unfairly for their husbands’ actions. No more! She has agency and financial means.

He looks and sounds like death warmed over and we are supposed to accept his brand of Q Healthcare?

Wonder if the mercury is what killed the brain worm 🤔
Mad as a hatter, that one.

He’s out here punching Big Pharma in the face and saving FREEDOM, but y’all too busy sipping soy lattes to notice.

Why do women “settle” for men like this?
College Roomie: Dude,.. you could read before.

Saw a good documentary on it a few days ago. Unfortunately we also have Nancy Reagan “just say no” buffoons here, too. (DoFo is great case in point)

He is directly responsible for the death of children in Samoa and she’s posting videos of herself doing yoga by the sea. She will never care!
That one was pregnant by him before he divorced the first.
I have no idea why his latest is standing by him.

Tha lady KNOOO she gettin paid !!
I think it's steroids now.
AND he had worms eating on his brain lol.
💭 It was actually more
Like 20 years 💉
These days are defined by just about everything being ass backwards if you follow these people.

F this timeline, how is anything real with all this- honestly
Are they sitting down for a dead pet dog or dead pet cat found on the road dinner today? He loves rotten carcasses that have been laying in the hot sun for days on the side of some road.
As I renew my passport.
You did heroine for 15 years. Why?
Or, how did you survive 15 years on heroin ? Clean supply?
You did heroin for 15 years and now you are the Health Czar. WTAF??
And that was after he got kicked out of a different high school for repeated drug violations.
83 died, including children.
Maybe I was doing heroin at the same time?
She’s also blind.
Her husband is that dude from Lost, btw.

I'd bet people in his family know, too.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER(?)
staying? ... she needs some Kennedy bullshit cred ?
I’m at the point where I wonder what’s wrong with Cheryl Hines
And the final straw if there ever needed to be one was the Olivia Nuzzi.
Why not?
Da fuq was the reporter thinking??
Set your career on fire for a guy who chainsawed a whale’s head off 🤡
Honestly, it’s on Cheryl.
Up
