Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, July 18, 2025

In news you WONT see on the liberal/progressive media, President Donald Trump signed a bill into law on Wednesday that classifies fentanyl-related drugs as more dangerous substances as part of the president's broader crackdown on the country's opioid epidemic. The bill, called the Halt All Lethal Trafficking (HALT) of Fentanyl Act, was a Republican-led effort but gained wide bipartisan support in the House and Senate. It places fentanyl-related substances permanently into ScheduleI of the Controlled Substances Act, which means crimes related to the illicit drugs will require prison sentences.

I wouldn't talk if I were you Boaz. Republicans are desperate to link fentanyl to illegal immigration when the vast majority of the ones who bring it in the country are US CITIZENS. That's what this is about. Nothing more nothing less.

Laura, why are you making things up?

The majority of the drug IS NOT brought in by citizens, you idiot.

Learn something..

I wouldn't believe a single thing on current federal websites. You're a dupe, sonny.

It was already a Schedule 1 drug.

This didn't change anything.

This bill did nothing but say the current law is the current law.

It does nothing to prevent the drug from entering the country.

It doesn't expand detection, which Biden did.

It doesn't expand operations to work with foreign governments to stop the drug, which Biden did.

It doesn't expand drug programs to lower usage or provide life saving healthcare, which Biden did.

This bill just says, "Yep, it's still a schedule 1 drug and will remain so even though it was never going to be something else."

Boaz, how stupid are you? Wait...we already know.

Fentanyl has been a Schedule 1 drug since February 6, 2018.

Boaz will do anything to deflect from Trump raping children.

See, Dems? Want to get back in with the general population - do sane things.

BullBringer is impressed by Trump's War on Drugs.

Too bad that was Reagan's thing and the government finally admitted it was an absolute failure.

But hey.

Anything to ignore the fact Trump is a pedophile who raped children.

#14 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-07-19 06:13 PM | Reply

Pardon me. The war on drugs was a Nixon initiative.

Growing up in the 80s I saw Nancy Reagan championing it.

Regardless.

Trump is a pedophile.

Everything he does is tainted by the fact he rapes children.

You think Trumpy is doing and bringing "sane things" to America?? If that's your definition of sanity then no thanks.

I'll stay in the "wilderness" until America comes to it's senses.

#16. Supporting this bill is a sane thing to do.

Fentanyl right up there with Marijuana.

Cannabis can be laced with fentanyl. Just like other drugs, especially cocaine. One of the issues starts with the fact that fentanyl clumps up so one person hitting a line of coke might get a clump of fentanyl along with it that other people partaking won't.

This is quite literally the first sane thing I've seen from this administration. And you want people to run to Trump with open arms? JFC Convince me you're NOT part of the cult, JEFF!

The way Jeff has defended Trump at every turn gives no doubt that he is part of the MAGA Trumper cult. None whatsoever.

You are so stupid. This isn't about Trump. This is congressional Republicans crafting a common sense bill and a bunch of Democrats acting sane by supporting it. That's it. I'm giving cr3dit to congressional Democrats for broadly supporting this.
