Sudden drop in fentanyl overdose deaths linked to Biden-era global supply shock (www.psypost.org)

For more than a decade, the United States has faced a relentless and heartbreaking increase in fatal drug overdoses driven by synthetic opioids. A new analysis suggests this trend has suddenly reversed due to a major disruption in the global supply chain of illicit fentanyl. Published in Science, the study indicates that regulatory actions taken by the Chinese government, following high-level diplomatic engagement with the Biden administration, may be the primary driver behind this unexpected decline in mortality.

It's wild to think that with the same amount of power Obama and Biden had, that Donald has completely rearranged the landscape of American politics, and once the post-tariff trade agreements kick in (rerouting supply chains around rather than through the US) and the BBB puts the kill shot on the poor and middle class, I think that the next year or two will be a clear historical demarcation line.

I'm not sure about that. This presidency is more than 50 years in the making, involved a stolen vote, multiple billionaire co-conspirators, even Obama was like "how do we stop this??" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnhBrVb_aaw

They have all the authors of p25 behind them, the house, the senate, the judiciary, the POTUS, the whole shootin' match.

I'm with you dude. Solid points all around.

We need to have a viable plan for when he cancels elections. I don't know how to make such a plan, but we need it yesterday.

Personally, I don't think it's going to end up being logistically possible for Donald's government to do that, owing to elections being run at the state level instead of federal. I am sure they will identify a few key races and counties and attempt to intimidate voters though.

Even with his Gestapo, he can't even control a handful of major cities.

I hope you're right. They could also steal the election again.

Feel like I'm wearing a foil hat whenever I type that, but the stats are convincing.

Door to door raids are the vote cancelation.

They'll start taking whoever they want on a large scale now that it's been tried and warmed up on darker-than-paper-bag.

I mean. Unless the militarized offices are deactivated.

Maybe American Spring should start good and earlybwith the climate change weather.

We could start rebuilding civil inferstructure before our monocropping pays us in famine.

Did Biden ever have a majority in both houses? I know Obama had it for the first two years and that's how he got Obamacare through. Neither of them had SCOTUS stacked in their favour and ruling them immune from their own intervention.
