Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 03, 2025

The Washington Post is being mocked online and by the White House for "pathetic" reporting on what the liberal-leaning news outlet calls a "mysterious" decline in fentanyl flowing across the border. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is often trafficked into the United States across the southern and northern borders by cartels and other criminal elements. In 2024, fentanyl was linked to the death of 48,422 persons in the United States, according to the CDC. During his campaign, President Donald Trump vowed to wage a war against fentanyl traffickers through increased border security and by cracking down on illegal immigration. Since taking office, Trump has deployed U.S. troops to the southern border, targeted cartels and transnational criminal groups as "foreign terrorist organizations" and hit cartel leaders with sanctions.

The moment Bozos bent the knee in front of felon47 and put millions into his pockets the "liberal-leaning" moniker became a lie.

Given the penchant for felon47 to micromanage all the information coming out of the administration, any data from the administration is suspect.

"If you stop the testing, the number of infections will drop".

If you stop the reporting of seizures, the amount of seizures will drop. Only stupid people will take their word for it.

Trump is lying about the drop in fentanyl.

You'll have to wait for someone else to be in charge to figure out what really happened.

Hey idiot, the administration has put a muzzle on science and public health agencies. It's only published if it's approved and inline with the administration's narrative.

Im sure Gutes Deutsch will unquestioningly believe the numbers while conveniently ignoring the obvious censorship and politicization of science by this administration.

No, you stupid f^*%, they weren't.

You have zero clue on these topics, as with most, so just stop talking.

@#11 ... I m sure some lefties view this as a bad thing. ...

Why?

I mean, if your current is "sure" it must have a reason. No?

So, what might be that reason?

JPW,

You're so cute when you are angry.

There's no anger in that matter of fact assessment.

It was reported by right wing think tank Center for Immigration Studies.

"The cartels appear to have determined that since Trump is so bad for business, they have decided to quit smuggling it into the American market and send it to Europe and other parts of the world instead. What to do about the lost revenue? Easy. Make up the difference by shipping greater volumes of less-politically and physiologically lethal drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine, Maltz said."

Take it up with Boaz, it's his article, I'm just quoting it.

You know Boaz, you are a have your cake and eat it too type but it goes beyond that.

I don't think you will find a left leaning poster here that will say heads of agencies didn't have biases in the past. Everyone has biases and in general Democrats sought good people to lead Federal agencies. I will say that prior to 2016 even the GOP did. I will say that in general, the Democrats appoint people who's goal is the betterment of the US, enforcement of laws and the protection of the Constitution. When it comes to the GOP that slope has been sliding since Nixon though. But because people have a different perspective doesn't mean either side is wrong. In fact Democrats and posters here in general are not afraid to call out questionable decision by Democrat leadership. And let's face it bad decisions happen. It's not necessarily evidence of some grand collusion against Americans. You know what, we even know that sometimes they seek to mislead us on something for some reason.

That said, MAGA Republicans are seeking to DESTROY the government from within. Period. They want to burn it ALL down. They are seeking to destroy all faith in us Institutions that while flawed have overall done the work of the people for a very long time. They see boogeymen where there are none and their leader helps create them with fictitious and outlandish lies sometimes on a minute by minute basis. And the MAGA sheep gobble them up without question. I have never in all my years (I feel old saying that) seen so much easily disproved trash taken as gospel and repeated over and over by either side as we have seen since Obama was elected and the GOP lost its collective mind fully. And it has escalated EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Y'all have so much fear and hate rotting your brains it is a wonder you can get out of bed - that's probably the hate over powering the fear though. The right is like a paranoid schizophrenic with an arsenal of nukes right now - which is literally true. If you can't see that - baaaaah.

#23. If I were to reprint that I could swap out certain nouns and say the exact same thing based on my own observations.
