    Yep.

    People keep shitting on trump’s “Dr feel-good”, and they should be shitting on that doc.

    But Obama picked his junky ass, and I doubt he was a competent doctor before trump.

    The only good thing about trump, was people started calling out some of the bullshit every president does. But it doesn’t really matter because loads of people were fine with it again as soon as Biden took office.

    It’s normalized to use drugs to make all those geriatric fucks seem functional on camera, but we end up with the highest up politicians being in their 70s and having decades long stimulant use.

    We can do better than 80 year old meth heads. Even if they have a doctor and not a dealer.

      So while prescription drugs have long been in the White House — John F. Kennedy reportedly took a cocktail of uppers and downers to fight back pain, and Richard Nixon allegedly took an anti-epileptic drug “when his mood wasn’t too good” — they have rarely been dispensed as widely as they were in the Trump years.

      Emphasis added

        Yes…

        trump has been the worse, but the issue happened before trump, and still happens today.

        And it’s legal.

        So we should change the exemptions the WH doctor has and make them follow the same standards as every other medical doctor in America.

        This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion…

        You said:

        While this is 100% true the reason I can say that is because the hill itself is rife with speed and meth and coke and then the downers they need to sleep / not shake apart.

        I agreed, and said neither of our two options have shown any interest in making WH medical staff follow the same rules regarding addictive and dangerous prescriptions that every other American doctor needs to follow

        If people want to just blame the doctor, why not blame the president that hired him?

          You quoted me, you’re right.

          You’re still not saying what I am saying and my words weren’t meant to lend credence to your “yeah what about the other team” arguments.

          To be frank my comment is specifically about inside the capitol building not inside the White House.

            yeah what about the other team” arguments.

            Saying “hold everyone accountable and prevent these abuses from continuing” is valid.

            It’s not “only get mad at the other team”.…

            Which is what you’re accusing me of doing, while doing yourself.

            I’m not sure if a simpler way to explain it, and I feel like any second now you’re just going to resort to insults because someone dared to want standards applied to everyone instead of just the ones you don’t like.

              My dude the bias in what you said comes right through.

              I am not talking about Obama or Biden and my comment wasn’t even about Trump.

      I totally agree. Imagine the pharmalogical cornucopia keeping that walking corpse Sleepy Cornpop walking around. I’m sorry you’re getting down voted to hell, it seems we’ve fallen into a shit-lib circle jerk. These assholes are even more brainwashed than MAGA morons.
