'PHOTOS ' 'Biden's America': NYC Addicts Seen with Needles Hanging from Arms

A New York City man stood on a street Wednesday with a needle dangling from his arm as the drug crisis plagues citizens.

The man stood without moving on West 37th Street late Wednesday morning with the needle in his arm as people apparently walked by him, the New York Post reported Saturday.

One person who commented on the Post's story said, 'Bidens America' while another replied, 'Thanks, DEMOCRATS I mean Marxists.'

LurkerMom: A New York City man stood on a street Wednesday with a needle dangling from his arm as the drug crisis plagues citizens.


Here's a graph of drug overdose deaths for the past twenty years (click the second chart on the page to enlarge the chart). In fact, heroin overdose deaths are declining. Benzodiazepine and prescription overdose deaths are flat. And cocaine and methamphetamine over dose deaths are rising.

But the most dramatic rise in overdose deaths is in synthetic opioids.

Tell me, when was the most significant spike in synthetic opioid deaths?

HINT: DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

You scour the news for anything bad and blame it on the current administration. And you don't have a clue how silly this is.

The grafts in your link all stop at the year 2021.

'Biden's open borders fuel America's deadly fentanyl crisis'
September 21, 2022
Snip
' While our brave border patrol agents are doing everything they can to stop the flow of these deadly drugs into America's neighborhoods, the Biden administration has left them understaffed and under-resourced. I've heard about it during my trips to the border. But the fentanyl crisis isn't only a problem in border states like Arizona. It's killing Floridians too. More than 2,000 Floridians have died in 2022 from opioid overdoses.

What is President Biden doing to stop the fentanyl killing spree? Nothing.'

https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2022/9/biden-s-op...

'Democrats, Republicans, alike, criticize Biden border policy'
Snip
"The Biden open borders agenda has created a humanitarian crisis that is increasing crime and violence in our streets, overwhelming local communities, and worsening the opioid crisis," Paxton said in a written statement.'

'Portman: Biden's border policies are worsening the opioid crisis'
Snip
'This six-month total is more than all of last year, and CBP believes the vast majority of drugs are getting in without being stopped.

The reason for this is clear ' the Biden administration's radical policy changes have encouraged the drug cartels to smuggle more unlawful migrants and lethal, illicit substances across our southern border.

The Biden administration systematically dismantled the existing border security framework put in place by the Trump administration, including revoking the COVID-19 emergency declaration for the border, stopping construction of the border fence, suspending the Remain in Mexico policy, canceling Asylum Cooperative Agreements and severely reducing immigration enforcement within the United States.'

Plenty more info if you care to look up Biden's drug worsening policies.

<You (LM) scour the news for anything bad and blame it on the current administration. And you don't have a clue how silly this is.>

LM is using a basic fascist tactic.

Yale Professor Jason Stanley explains...

"Fascism is a cult of the leader, who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by immigrants,
leftists, liberals, minorities, homosexuals, women, in the face of what the fascist leader says is a takeover of the country's media,
cultural institutions, schools by these forces. Fascist movements typically, rest on an urban/rural divide.
The cities are where there's decadence, where the elites congregate, where there's immigrants, and where there's criminality.
You have to worry when they're seeing the other as less than. Those moments are the times when societies need to worry about fascism."

No. You're referring to "info".....distorted, cherry-picked statements designed for those looking for material that will bolster their prejudices and allow them to pat themselves on the back.

True information is something you are deathy allergic to.

Thank yo sheila, you proved my point. (thanks Alinsky) A personal attack instead of a reasonably retort.

As Abe at the Political Asylum would say after personal attack....,'I won.'

The cult has been primed for all this anti-democratic, authoritarian thinking. We are in real trouble, and the damned media is a big part of the problem.

LurkerMom: The grafts [sic] in your link all stop at the year 2021.

That was the point, which you deliberately chose not to see: the opioid epidemic absolutely exploded during the Trump presidency.

Yet republicans never cared about those deaths then and never criticized former president Trump for the spike in opioid overdose deaths under his watch. Those deaths only became an issue when republicans could place them at the feet of president Biden.

And here you are giving me an op-ed by republican senator Rob Portman from June 11, 2021?

Plus a CBS Austin article from January, 2023? I guess you agree with what was written in this article, right? Like this?

"The extreme right wing and those running for 'coward-in-chief' do not care about solving our immigration challenges," Rep. Casar said. "Those bodies to them were not a human tragedy, they were an opportunity to go on Fox News and talk about President Biden."

Well, okay... sounds right.

Good job cheery picking and taking out of content of the article citing the increase of drugs
coming over the border since Biden came into Office

Greg Casar is a progressive Democrat, no need to explain further.

It's not a personal attack at all, but is unfortunately what you have demonstrated here quite consistently. And I simply noted it.
