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.
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.
I wonder who JD’s father really is…
He’s a dead ringer for Rush Limbaugh.
I found the full story here https://crooksandliars.com/2024/07/jd-vance-called-out-over-lie-about-his
Um, well, did she steal them from Mexican patients?
Checkmate liberawls!
No.
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.
“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.”
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?
Nah, it says on this piece of paper that it’s different.
Let’s not bother, not only do they don’t care about hypocrisy, double speak is actually their superpower
*gasp*
Logic!
Get ‘em! [*crashing, yelling, trampling noises*]
No, because drug dealing in this context is hurting someone to exploit them for profit while gun dealers are performing an important service to their communities. You wouldn’t consider a grocery store responsible for someone’s obesity because they sold flour.
Nah, guns don’t kill people, just the bullets fired out of them kill. No one very died from a gun itself
You don’t need gun control. You know what you need? We need some bullet control.
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.
That’s fair, it’ll also mean that the equivalent of ghost guns will be a sight to see given that making your own smokeless powder is very difficult but making your own black powder is just a pain in the ass (the only component that’s easy to restrict can be extracted from human biological waste). And as far as I’m concerned, if you want to make black powder cartridges so much you’re willing to process urea into saltpetre go ahead. You aren’t getting a modern mass shooting like that
Anyone beaten to death with the pistol grip or rifle stock would like to have a word with you.
Or the military personnel shot by misfiring pistols when they drop them.
And surely someone in history has been killed by knocking over a rack of guns and being clobbered.
That would require necromancy
Or stabbed by a bayonet
Is that the gun killing you tho? If it’s affixed, does it count as the gun or just a knife kill?
Spear kill.
I think an attachment would still count as the gun doing it.
If we consider the gun ‘attached’ to the handler, would that put the blame back on the person? Or maybe we ought to consider the handler as part of the gun itself.
Neither the gun alone nor the person alone would have killed. Therefore, the dangerous thing is the COMBINATION of gun + person. In conclusion, we shouldn’t ban guns, just make it illegal for people to interact with them in any way.
Then it’s because of whoever sold the bullets.
Politician lying?! That’s unpossible!
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.
Just Dunce Vance is a big fat liar, who could have seen this coming.
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!
plot twist: those patients where mexican
but when were they Mexican?
who were they mexican?
what were they mexican?
I’m just saying. She could have totally stole them from Mexicans.
Which would technically not be a lie.
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.
Fentanyl is not the cheapest opiate in US hospitals, and is not used as a substitute for morphine or oxycodone. It’s primarily used for anesthesia, where oxycodone/hydrocodone/morphine/hydromorphone are used in the units as pain killers taken orally. Injectable hydromorphone is cheaper and more commonly used for acute pain than fentanyl.

Ok thank you. I’ve known patients who lived for a month receiving constant fentanyl that month.
Opiates for anasthesia? surprising. What previous “gas”/process did it replace?
It’s part of general anesthesia, along with other drugs such as midazolam, propofol, ketamine, etomidate, etc. It augments anesthesia gases such as sevoflurane/desflurane/isoflurane, though we’re getting outside my realm of expertise; I’m not an anesthesiologist so I can’t specify why a certain combination of drugs might be used vs another.
That’s some real hillbilly shit right there.
Come listen to my story 'bout a man named Jd
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.
The song needs to be an elegy.
