1. I am starting to think this guy is a dick

2. All this fentanyl is the problem and destroying America! But we’re just going to attack all the immigrants doing the jobs no one else wants and antagonize our neighbors rather than treat the actual addictions! Did you say thank you?! /s

3. Remember, all this suffering is for economically useless tax cuts for the rich.

4. This is all for the rich. Gotta LOVE this country of fucking assholes.

5. I would hope Democratic leadership would be calling for any clinic or service that gets pulled is to remind it’s users on why.

   “We can no longer treat you for X due to the Trump’s administration pulling the funding, sorry.”

   People in the middle or who don’t follow politics closely need to know what their votes or lack of voting has caused them personal harm.

6. Many organizations misuse the money so I hope it does good

7. Cuts everywhere to fund tax cuts for the rich. And yet, look at his MAGA base, they are the exact opposite of that.

8. Well yeah they’re cutting spending. If they can trace it back to Covid it’s definitely gone.

9. This world will end up like Elysium by the time the rich are done with us

10. What is it that these bozos want to spend our tax dollars on?  Every other day they want to slash an important program.

11. All that talk about Fentanyl. He doesn’t gaf

12. Good thing orange man doesn’t have purse strings. That’s congress

13. Should we expect more shootings in the coming years?

14. Ironic.

15. Cutting mental healthcare in a country with guns everywhere. Sounds like a concept of a plan.

16. This should be a literal crime. Need should define funding. Humanity should be the priority. Instead we are seeing the stoked embers of a revolution. When are people gonna realize if these guys want to solve the world’s problems they could do it 10 times over with their personal wealth alone. They don’t care about us.

17. Death becomes the Red States, eventually!

18. This is sick. Sick. We are desperately in need of more mental health support and more well-administered addiction services. And yes, so much for his BS argument about how horrible the fentanyl problem is. He doesn’t give a rats ass about solving the problem. He’s using that as an excuse to invade frickin’ Canada. When what … there were all of two pounds of the stuff confiscated at the US border last year? Good god, the lying never stops.

19. Remember all the times that the Republicans said mass shootings aren’t a gun problem, but a mental health problem. I’m starting to think these guys are just pro-mass shootings.

20. Who needs mental health care? Just go buy a gun!
    USA! USA!

21. Well, this is horrible news. The addicts are already downtrodden, facing difficulties and with already thin resources. I am sure this won’t have any ripple effects.

22. I am starting to think gun hobbyists are lying when they say that mental health care is the solution to mass shootings.

23. *President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have moved to slash funding for addiction treatment programs and research, saying the money should instead be spent on efforts to “Make America Healthy Again.*

    I am now dumber having read this… fucking idiots 🙄

24. Can we bus those people to Palm Beach?

25. Soon you’ll hear that, as if by magic, there are no Fentanyl addicts or deaths.
