Once repellent to conservative politicians, needle exchanges are now being endorsed and legalized in Republican-controlled states.
At least four legislatures have considered bills to allow hypodermic needle exchanges, and two states, Georgia and Idaho, made them legal this year. In each of these states, the House and Senate are controlled by the GOP and the governor is a Republican.
Florida, Missouri, Iowa and Arizona have introduced bills this legislative session that would allow needle exchanges in their state. The measures were all sponsored or co-sponsored by Republicans.
The Biden administration is going to be sending crack pipes and meth pipes, targeting minority communities,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in a video message.
It’s a black thing white use heroin black use heroin let’s allow needle exchanges
crack pipes I guess only blacks use them . So let’s show them we are with them ! But won’t enable their habit
Republicans hypocrisy at its finest

Even the most conservative cities in the US have problems with homelessness.
But they aren’t as populous.

My favorite Bible story is when Jesus feeds the multitudes after administering a drug test to make sure they deserve food.

let’s ask him if handing out needles and crack pipes is a good idea, i bet he’s be in a good place to know.
he beat addiction, and became a billionaire, creating god knows how many jobs. i say good for him.
and you completely avoided my post.
once again, does crack disproportionately impact blacks? yes or no?
do you EVER get tired of being wrong?

If your brother was addicted to narcotics, do you think he would be better off with aids and hepatitis?
We’re not talking about buying them their drug of choice, just giving them a chance to make it through without a compounding issue.

non he’s not better off with aids or hepatitis.
but the best solution is to get him off drugs, and tough live is still love.
Here’s my question. how is coding drug addicts working in san francisco and portland? are you denying that enabling drug addicts can lead to more drug addicts?

Doesn’t sound like tough love is a miraculous cure to me, it’s a long tough uncertain road no matter how you look at it.
Treating addiction is proven to reduce the number of addicts.
Are you seriously claiming that providing needles to addicts encourages people to become addicts?
Really?

i never said tough love is a miraculous cure. there is no silver bullet.
i asked you 3 or 4 times if coding them is the answer, why is San Francisco turning into a pile
of raw sewage?
you won’t answer, because you know you can’t answer without showing that i have a point.
. what does it say about the utter flimsiness of your beliefs, that you are scared sh*tless by such a simple and obvious question? you can’t even come close to answering. what does that tell you?
we don’t have to speculate. coddling druggies has been tried. the results are in. you want your neighborhood to look like San Francisco and Portland?

You think that San Francisco or Portland isn’t a larger example of any city in the USA
Just what would you like to do to addicts, the mentally I’ll and other homeless people.
Explain your magic cure, I’m sure most Americans would love to see how your magnificent brilliance proposes to solve this, we’ve all been waiting for the simple solution.

And here’s something liberals could really, really stand to learn. When you try something and it fails miserably, just admit it and then fix it.
Liberals never, ever do that.
Republicans never ever Try something. Jim. Because they are afraid it will fail miserably like mass incarceration.
As of July 2021, the United States had the highest number of incarcerated individuals worldwide, with almost 2.1 million people in prison.
And Republicans are still yelling lock them up or blaming Democratic’s for a rise in crime even in states where no laws have been changed
Criminals and murders do not factor in penalties in their decisions they are no rational people to start with

"Republicans never ever Try something. Jim. "
Newt Gingrich didn't convince Bill Clinton to cut taxes and pay for it with welfare reform, resulting in the last federal surplus probably ever, and helping to usher in a decade of prosperity. Didn't happen, right?
George W Bush didn't spearhead his "Emergency Plan For Aids Relief Africa:, which liberal Stanford University says saved over one million lives in Africa. Bush did more for Africa, than any human being who has ever lived. And I'd bet everything that you have no idea it ever happened, because you don't like that he has an "R" after his name.
Go ahead and tell us Stanford is wrong. You know more. Didn't happen, right?
https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne...ion-lives.html
Rudy Giuliani didn't make HUGE strides in reducing violent crime in NYC? According to politifact, murder and robbery were down two-thirds during his tenure.
Didn't happen, right?
https://www.politifact.com/article/2...ighting-crime/
And then everybody's favorite, Trump. He didn't lower taxes, get black unemployment to its lowest level ever recorded, didn't get criminal justice reform (which liberals wanted yet Obama chose not to do for 8 years), didn't help create economic opportunity zones in the cities, didn't get overall unemployment to its lowest level in a generation.
Never happened, right?
Crime.
Wayne, democrats run the federal government right now, and as a direct result of that, crime is out of control in many places. Americans see it, which is one reason why despite Biden's economic success, his polling is in the bottom of the toilet.
The 1990s crime bill, which did cause a lot of incarceration, you know who wrote it? Joe Biden. Joe Biden wrote it.
It caused a lot of incarceration. But guess what, Einstein? People in prison, aren't out hurting innocent civilians. So while all those people were locked up, crime decreased.
You just don't get it. Liberals just don't get it. Locking up criminals, cannot fail to reduce crime. Why is that so complicated? You worked in a prison, and you still don't get that?

Stop posting demonstrably false, incoherent, partisan, nonsensical gibberish
The only path forward for conservatives is pounding a square peg into a round hole !
Because admission of failure isn’t allowed
Like Trump won the election or there was voter fraud or Jan 6th was an insurrection
Just look how they support the white Canada Truckers blocking highways a vocal minority yell freedom and Covid .
Anti-Protest Conservatives Sure Do Love the Trucker Blockade Causing ‘Deep Pain’ to American Companies
But if BLM or any liberals block a road or highway all the comments are just run them over
Fox News, Daily Caller delete posts encouraging people to drive through protests
Conservatives have no historical memory they have integrity amnesia

Conservatives would say the truckers have a point, as conservatives as a rule, aren't big fans of mandates.
BLM doesn't have a point. It was literally founded on a complete lie ("hands up, don't shoot", which Brown never said), there's absolutely no data to suggest that police have waged war against American blacks. And BLM explicitly says they're in favor of attacking the nuclear family, when that's literally the exact opposite thing that any pro-black person should be saying.
Finally, the truckers aren't looting, burning down stores, or murdering people. Unlike BLM and Antifa.

How about a quote from one of Nixon’s top advisors explaining their decision to launch the “War on Drugs.”
“You understand what I’m saying? We couldn’t make it illegal to be against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and the blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing them heavily, we could disrupt those communities.
We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify them on the nightly news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs, of course we did.

wow an unnamed Nixon advisor.
How about president Lyndon Johnson saying “I’ll have those n*ggers voting for Democrats for 200 years”?
Pete, look at what i posted above in terms of democrat policy impacting blacks. and tell me what i said, which is wrong.
all you can do, is respond to something i never said.
look at what each side says about school choice. At Trump’s SOTU, republicans were going berserk at the news of low black unemployment. Remember how the democrats reacted? They sat on their hands, scowling.
If they want blacks to succeed,, please explain why they were miserable at low black unemployment.

Explain why Republicans sat and didn’t rejoice when Barack Obama was President
Explain why Republicans think that no black woman is qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice
Explain why there are roughly 100k elected positions in the U.S.
and Republicans announced that 40 Blacks are running as GOPers, that is closer to zero than to even 1%. It's more likely that you'll be struck by lightning than represented by a Black Republican.
And the spectacular halfime show sure did rattle the GOP incel crowd.

again, what does it say that you cannot EVER answer the question that i asked?
no republican ever said that ( hearing voices again). what they’re saying, is that it’s wrong ( and obviously illegal) to ignore potentially better candidates based on gender and skin color
Lindsay Graham has come out and said that there’s one black woman a bunch or republicans would vote for.
I dare you to post evidence that any influential republican said that no black roman is qualified.

Jim keep convincing yourself Republicans push back against a Black SJC pick is about “ a better candidate “
Just like changing for voter laws were for “ election integrity “ even in states Trump won. More like they are afraid of Turn out.
Texas counties reject unprecedented numbers of mail ballots ahead of March 1 primary under restrictive new law
To be eligible to vote early by mail in Texas, you must:
be 65 years or older;
be sick or disabled;
be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance; or
be expected to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day; or
be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible.
These must be the fraudsters Texas is after , most over 65 I would bet vote Republican

And how about when Reagan said he would only pick a woman? Was it obviously illegal then?

Every black candidate was eliminated from the list until 1967 and the same baloney was claimed then, much like 81 when the first woman was nominated.
There’s plenty of candidates more qualified than Kavanaugh or Barrett unless you can only pick from the Federalist Society list.

and by what logic do we punish white men today, for the fact that democrats prevented blacks from getting ahead for so long?
if a white male judge alive today, happens to be a descendent of someone who was killed fighting for the north in the civil
war, how on earth could
you conclude that he is responsible for the sins of the past?
you, and your liberal ilk, are talking about “collective guilt”, the idea that everyone who looks like past criminals, is guilty for what the criminal did.
That’s the exact opposite of the foundation of our system of justice.
Why not an asian woman? We have a black in the court, but we have no Asians. Why is that?

You can feel guilty if you want.
The right wing’s infatuation with white grievance and increasing attraction to civil unrest at the expense of ordinary Americans is leading the GOP to increasingly perverse positions. Now, Republicans and their media cohorts root for economic distress, violence and disorder.
