TRUMP “The Man of Sin” gives Satan influence in US.
He propagates Evil and Harm to the less fortunate.
1 Timothy 6:10 KJV “For the love of money is the root of all evil:”…..
Matthew 7:18-20 18 “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

While the opioid epidemic has earned a place in the national spotlight in recent years, our understanding of how the crisis went from bad to worse is still coming into focus. To that end, the Washington Post and “60 Minutes” have done some important reporting.
The Post published an amazing piece yesterday explaining that early last year, Congress “effectively stripped the Drug Enforcement Administration of its most potent weapon against large drug companies suspected of spilling prescription narcotics onto the nation’s streets.” The point of the measure was to “weaken aggressive DEA enforcement efforts against drug distribution companies that were supplying corrupt doctors and pharmacists who peddled narcotics to the black market.”
And leading the way on the effort was Tom Marino, a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania, who championed the controversial legislation, which seems tough to defend.
For years, some drug distributors were fined for repeatedly ignoring warnings from the DEA to shut down suspicious sales of hundreds of millions of pills, while they racked up billions of dollars in sales.
The new law makes it virtually impossible for the DEA to freeze suspicious narcotic shipments from the companies, according to internal agency and Justice Department documents and an independent assessment by the DEA’s chief administrative law judge in a soon-to-be-published law review article. That powerful tool had allowed the agency to immediately prevent drugs from reaching the street.
As the piece explained, the nation’s major drug distributors hired a former DEA insider to help formulate a strategy, and then invested in an ambitious lobbying campaign, which included at least $1.5 million in political action committee contributions to the small number of lawmakers who helped advance the issue.
All of this unfolded with almost no scrutiny: “Besides the sponsors and co-sponsors of the bill, few lawmakers knew the true impact the law would have. It sailed through Congress and was passed by unanimous consent, a parliamentary procedure reserved for bills considered to be noncontroversial. The White House was equally unaware of the bill’s import when President Barack Obama signed it into law, according to interviews with former senior administration officials.”
A separate Washington Post analysis explained that a story like this “shows everything people hate about Washington,” complete with a revolving door between the drug industry and those who regulate it, the influence of campaign cash on lawmakers, and Congress failing to do its due diligence on important policy matters.
But as we come to terms with the revelations, pay particular attention to Tom Marino, who championed the controversial bill in the House, following years of related efforts. Given the circumstances, it would seem the Pennsylvania Republican has some explaining to do, though the article added that Marino not only declined repeated requests, his staff ultimately called the Capitol Police when reporters tried to interview the congressman at his office.
It’s against this backdrop that Donald Trump has decided to give Marino a promotion – nominating him to serve as the nation’s new drug czar.

Let he who is free of sin, cast the first stone.

You lefties are quick to characterize Trump as an evil villain.

As if you yourselves are to be considered truly righteous.

Look Geo, you ain't no saint and Trump ain't no devil.

You're just mad because he won and he's always in your face reminding you of it.

Get a grip and get with the program................$¶©©|{

Let's see if I understand. A bill giving better access for narcotics to hit the streets, signed by Obama, and backed by Rep Tom Marino (a rino), all this before Trump took office, and you claim Trump is the bad guy? You also claim Trump nominated Marino to the office of drug czar. I never heard that. How can Trump be the "sinner" in all this and no blame for the democrats and Obama who passed said bill. Did I misread the Washington Post's article or are you just wanting to throw mud at Trump. Help me, please. I'm confused.

Yep.
It did. Most in congress say they based their votes on reports and studies saying the benefits of opiates far outweighed the danger. Were they sincere or just following the money? Who knows?

Consider 535 Representatives and Senators with in excess of 12,000 support staff and not one voice was raised in opposition. Either this was a diabolically cleverly worded bill or it was never read, or our representatives are supremely indifferent to the requirements of their jobs, or perhaps they were all paid to look the other way.

We need term limits -- it is necessary to get rid of incompetents as well as the venal and corrupt. Which ones are they? All of them!

Term limits aren't going to help until the system is changed by removing the unlimited $$$
campaigns and legal bribes.

Actually they would. As long as it takes for these lobbyists to court someone, own them, hope they get on a powerful committee so they are of use would be much harder and not cost effective. Taking money out and term limits would be wonderful. Never happen. .

No problem, tRump is going to drain the swamp and build a wall and the Mexicans are going to pay for it.

At least most Americans now know there is a swamp that needs drained. I see where walls are being put up where it makes sense. If the openborders crowd would go away there's many a clever way to make Mexico pay, without sending them a bill.
