People screeching about the "opioid crisis" are going to be in for a rude awakening when they’re given a tylenol and a pat on the head after surgery.

@ElaineMcInfo @HawleyMO It's called 'History.'

Of course, as a Creationist who believes that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, you have an extremely shaky grasp on facts.

That's why scare-words like 'communists' & cult fantasies like Trump's 'Big Lie' are so easy for you to...ahem...swallow.

@johnrich Are you one of those morons that believe solar only works when the weather is sunny?

Of course you are. 🙃

@ACTBrigitte The remainder of the Republican Party needs Independents to vote (R) in order to win the House, and possibly the Senate.

Yeah, good luck with that. The late senator Graham was right.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@LyceumNow @BrianTKennedy1 The fact that you still, after over 5 yrs of The Big Lie, believe every word that comes out of Trump's mouth, is insanity.

It's amazing that you conveniently forget that Trump was President in 2020 when all the supposed Chinese shenanigans happened is laughable & more insanity.

@jconnollybooks Dear Mr. Connolly:

Just finished A River Red with Blood while recovering from surgery.

I say this w/admiration: Jesus fuckin' Christ. I've never felt such an enveloping sense of dread. You've outdone yourself.

Never reading you while in hospital again. Fantastic.

@mrddmia @SenMarkKelly Rep Davis, you should be ashamed of yourself, and shunned from society.

But no, you probably think this makes you cool and edgy. You couldn't be more wrong.

"Bless your heart" in the most sincere Southern meaning of the phrase.

@CollinRugg Bravo! Performative Christianity!

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@SenTuberville My gosh. You're breathtakingly stupid.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@ScottJenningsKY @CNN Congratulations. You get an A+ in performative bullshit.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@JasonPerone He needs to try for more yards after catch instead of running out of bounds every time.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@pourmecoffee 😂🏆

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@evenbev @OurShallowState You think we'd have an "Acting President?" I doubt it, but nothing will surprise me anymore.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@TheEXECUTlONER_ You could skip the whole game by changing the channel. 🙄

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@lawler4ny Then fix it, instead of bitching about it.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@SecDuffy Tomorrow is a federal holiday, doofus.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@RealJamesWoods For a smart man, you really say stupid shit.

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@matt_vanswol You're a disingenuous POS. I bet you think Maria Corina Machado dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, too. 🙄

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

@IanJaeger29 Fuck off, you moronic ghoul.

[Chad D. Kollas, MD (he/him) @ChadDKollas]

Arguably, @CDCgov set itself up for this backlash when it failed to self-monitor harms of flawed opioid policy created by its 2016 Opioid Guideline. If no one else had measured the resulting harms (suffering from loss of pain care, suicides to escape uncontrolled pain, deaths from overdoses of illicit fentalogues), even more Americans would have died or suffered unnecessarily.

CDC yielded to an anti-opioid agenda and PROPaganda intended to support lucrative MDLs against opioid manufacturers and distributors, while knowing illicit fentalogues drove deaths by 2015. It violated its own rules for handling conflicts when creating its 2016 Opiod Guideline, sacrificing its own institutional integrity.

Now is CDC’s #FAFO moment. By focusing on politics over science (which was complicated and nuanced) in the opioid therapy space, CDC put aide its actual mission (to control and prevent infectious disease), then fumbled its COVID-19 response, losing more credibility with the American public. That has opened the door for more anti-science rhetoric and empowered ongoing attacks on vaccines.

But it all started with bad opioid polices. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Scopes Town Blues @ScopesTownLib]

This seems...problematic.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.
