Trump reportedly wants drug dealers to face the death penalty

I would point out that this is a uniquely stupid idea all on it's own without you guys coming in here and doing your "everything is racist" bit.

A guy with a history of having trouble condemning nazis? Yeah, it's a pretty safe (not guaranteed) bet that this is at least partially influenced by prejudice.

I mean the irony of a guy famous for a life time usage of cocaine jumping on the "we need to execute drug dealers" bit is too fucking much. So it's either a racist dog whistle or he's a gigantic fucking hypocrite. Either way, good luck defending it.

Are you talking about Duterte or Trump? While Duterte definitely has both used and dealt massive amounts of drugs, Donald Trump has never really even been accused of it. The man doesn't even drink. He might have used drugs once, but after his brother died he apparently never touched any of them. He manages to be a completely horrible person the all natural way, which is kind of impressive.

I wonder what @Theinquisition thinks about this.

Is that before or after your ilk comes in to do the usual "racist but pretends to be not racist" bit?

Hmm...looks like some potential a-holes are a lot closer to home; How the FDA helped pave the way for an opioid epidemic

The FDA played a key role in the greatest medical disaster in U.S. history — the opioid epidemic that has fueled so many drug overdose deaths they now top all the nation’s deaths in world wars.
“I believe we wouldn’t have an opioid epidemic if the FDA had done its job properly,” said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, co-director of the Opioid Policy Research Collaborative at Brandeis University.
FDA officials would not comment on whether they had made mistakes regarding the approval and promotion of OxyContin, the opioid that jump-started the epidemic.
But Dr. David Kessler, FDA commissioner when OxyContin got the agency’s green light, acknowledged, “No doubt it was a mistake. It was certainly one of the worst medical mistakes, a major mistake.”
It was the first opioid to win that stamp of approval from the FDA, despite the fact there was no testing to back up that conclusion, nor was there any proof for the label’s conclusion that “ ‘addiction’ to opioids legitimately used in the management of pain is very rare.”

So is he ready to execute little blue eye blonde hair teenage boys and girls? Oh right, were talking about the minorities.

What about all the heroin and other opiate pushers in the rust belt?

Maybe this is his plan to end the heroin epidemic.
