Let's explore this.

If we agree to entertain his lie for a moment, and the further implication that the people supposedly supplying her with drugs were responsible for her OD, doesn't that same logic make gun dealers responsible for shootings?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 108 points 3 weeks ago

*gasp*

Logic!

Get ‘em! [*crashing, yelling, trampling noises*]

Nah, guns don't kill people, just the bullets fired out of them kill. No one very died from a gun itself

Anyone beaten to death with the pistol grip or rifle stock would like to have a word with you.

Is that the gun killing you tho? If it's affixed, does it count as the gun or just a knife kill?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Spear kill.

You don't need gun control. You know what you need? We need some bullet control.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not quite in that form, but targeting restrictions on ammunition moreso than the guns themselves is part of my view on that issue. The country is full of guns already, they last practically forever with maintenance, and at the end of the day they're basically just a sturdy tube with some hardware to set the bullet off, and as such it would be difficult to stop illicit manufacturing (3d printed guns and zip guns come to mind). Bullets are at least consumable, require explosive chemicals to make and a gun won't fire without them. If you make it difficult to acquire large amounts at once, then it doesn't matter as much if a gun is modified to be fully automatic either.

Blaming Mexicans as a people for the acts of a few? Monstrous and inane. Not a rational thought process for a healthy individual

Stealing drugs from your patients? Monstrous but sympathy-worthy. Opiate addiction is life ruining, and I blame pharmaceutical companies and bodily destructive American work culture for this. I hope she has stayed far away from the medical field since then, for her benefit and for everyone else’s.

Lying about one to cover up the other in order to renew a race war? Just evil.

Some say his love for couches was strong, some say his lust for couches was strong, the only thing that is certain is he's fucked a sofa or two.

"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering [I just made up and is not the reality] of the American people [because, again, – and I cannot stress this enough – I created it and it did not actually happen], then that's what I'm going to do."

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

To be fair, I suspect he’s talking about the heroin after she was fired from her nursing job for stealing drugs.

But her addiction is what almost killed her. The (dubious) nationality of the dealers is irrelevant.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Don't MAGA believe all drug users are criminals?

She's a heroin user and get her ass locked up.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 3 weeks ago

Lucky she's not in El Salvador right now.

Because with morons we are dealing with if they can find one flaw they won’t believe any part of a logically laid out argument.

JD Vance is popular because to stupid insecure men he seems like at the very least an awkward social person, yet they think in a debate he is a “bulldog” that goes after the “facts”.

TLDR: they suck so bad they don’t even know they suck and why

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

He grew up in Middletown, Ohio. Even if she hadn't been stealing drugs from patients, I know the drug scene there well enough to know plenty of dealers are white. But also the opiate epidemic in the rust belt wasn't some cartel thing, it's simple: the jobs left, nobody had any hope left, and suddenly that injury you got from doing manual labor for years wound up with this new painkiller the doctor was told isn't addictive.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 19 points 3 weeks ago

James Donald Bowman is a sad excuse for a human being. I will always remind people of his real name he got from his deadbeat father and the mother he's slandering here. Just to cuck for another asshole named Donald.

Join me in deadnaming him!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If she was that desperate, odds are good she sucked a few dicks for drugs, too. Surely not news to him, those trailer walls are thin.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder who JD's father really is...

That would probably happen after she got caught stealing from patients. Which he may have still been around for--I don't know the details.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Um, well, did she steal them from Mexican patients?

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Checkmate liberawls!

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 12 points 3 weeks ago

I'm just saying. She could have totally stole them from Mexicans.

Which would technically not be a lie.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

Politician lying?! That's unpossible!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Okay, but you can't say that during an election because it's rude and divisive. You're not taking the problem of illegal Mexicans trafficking in double plus illegal drugs seriously, and you shouldn't denigrate a rich man's mother.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

If this is satire, it's written too close to the bone.

if your mom is stealing medication, which it sounds like from a hospital and using it on herself, with no proper diagnosis/condition, its ON HER if she almost dies from it.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

FYI, fentanyl is used in US hospitals as the cheapest opiate. Excess OD deaths from fentanyl tend are only ever caused by it being "accidentally present" in another drug. Paying the Taliban to grow opium for US export (they can still prevent local sales) could be a viable path to affordable US healthcare without fentanyl. Much US supply of fentanyl is stolen from legal hospital supplies.

If there was a real national emergency for fentanyl from Canada, a war on hospitals providing 100x the fentanyl that is seized on Canadian border to tax them an extra 25% is going to get them back to using morphine/oxy whatever that costs.

I don't think anyone really does. I think he's desperately trying to become relevant and it keeps failing.

He's only VP because he's a complete non-threat to Trump.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

And Peter Theil agreed to rig the electio- oops ha ha what I meant was Theil agreed to fund whatever trump wanted if he let this guy take over when he eventually stroked out in a year or two.

All going to plan!
