Again, I wonder how routine colonoscopies use a weapon of mass destruction as a sedative.
President Trump describes fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction that fuels lawlessness, saying the opioid is “closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic.” But some experts say it is a stretch to call an addictive drug a weapon of mass destruction.
Trump declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. What does it mean?
The declaration of fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction is the latest move by President Donald Trump casting the nation’s deadly drug crisis as a national security issue.

As mind-numbingly stupid as this all is, perhaps the stupidest part is all of his party going along with the mad king like it's normal. Congress could end these tariffs before they start, but the whole party has gone stupid.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.

Because they all said “oh that’s just Trump” and ignored it all. They are all wrong but the good news is it won’t hurt them. Just the poors.
Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?
