The open air drug marts are all in blue cities.

I've been in a few blue cities, including Seattle earlier this month. There are pockets of homeless, and -likely- addicts. But a "mart"? No. They were openly using, but I didn't see any carts or folding tables displaying product. I would agree that it's a bit unnerving walking to the rail sometimes. But the problem has always been there, it was just better hidden in the past. Out of sight, out of mind.

I will also say that our drug policies in this nation have never been very good. Not within my living memory. It costs money for treatment programs, and mostly the money isn't there. And not all treatment programs are equal.

Umm, that was not addressed at all.

Yes it was. My sources were not the White House. John Oliver summarized it in a sometimes-humorous manner, but you can chase down all of his sources if you like (e.g. NPR). Other links were provided by a few posters (including me). Biden may actually make things worse for wanna-be immigrants/asylum-seekers with some of his actions. The border is not now, nor will it be in the near future, open. That's false talking point.

Yes, more migrants crossed as Title 42 ended. But that doesn't make them legal. All that has changed in simple terms is that there aren't any COVID/pandemic restrictions in place. They still have to have legal claim to be here, or they'll be deported.

LOL. That's amusing.

Yeah, I'd put him in the top 10. But CSPAN (that bastion of liberal thought) rates him at 12.
