I'm curious - who are the people who 1 star the Jimmy Dore videos? Are you right wing guys? Are you like still fans of Hillary? Establishment freaks? Is it the pro-Trump people downvoting this - there are only a few of you here. I'm curious to know - I'm working on a hypothesis about something and knowing the thoughts of the folks who downrate exposure of establishment corruption would be helpful. Remember, this is the guy who hates Trump and spit in Alex Jones' face, in case you are not familiar.

No vote here. I don't watch or vote on this level of content. This guy is an idiot like Alex Jones or Cenk Uygur. No interest but if it's time to re-introduce that type of content, let it rip. Noone says anyone has to watch it.

 

I don't know what the video is slinging but drugs don't kill or hurt people, people kill and hurt people..

It's exposing the revelation that the FBI was blocked from enforcing laws to reduce opioid distribution after lobbying to the Obama admin by drug companies. Has nothing to do with illegal drugs - makes the argument that legal drugs are much worse especially when they are being dumped on the population for shear profit. There's an epidemic you know.

 

The first part of your answer is revealing - you truly are an establishment dude, aren't you? If it's not delivered to you by MSM you don't believe it. This is why I think you appear to be duped so often, from my perspective. You've gone all in - you believe them.

No question the pharmaceutical industry is a bigger problem than illegal drugs. Thank God that Trump shut down their lobbyists and ended the problem on day one of his presidency or we would be fucked and would still have the problem. You really do have an all-encompassing and interesting perspective above anyone elses. Someday I hope to be as open to anything pushed at me as you are but not yet. Not yet.

I read the original article Washington Post and also saw the 60 minutes segment on this. Your being pretty disingenous when you say "that the FBI was blocked from enforcing laws to reduce opioid distribution after lobbying to the Obama admin by drug companies". It wasnt just Obama who signed the bill, there were congressmen and senators from both parties who initially wrote and passed the bill in congress. 

The guy who was supposed to be Trump's pick for the drug czar, whatever the fuck that means, Tom Marino dropped out after the article showed he was one of the main supporters for the bill.

Everything you just said is what Jimmy Dory says in this video it's unfortunate you didn't watch it. I was trying to summarize his point which is that as bad as Trump is the others are just as bad. This bill was pushed through by democrats, Republicans and the entire Senate without any apparent scrutiny by the Obama Administration that signed it into law. 

 

This idea that Obama was any different than bush is complete and utter nonsense. People who believe that have been thoroughly duped. It's all window dressing, they are all neocons, and there is no difference that matters.

I'm indifferent, and no vote from me.  

 

To me, the guy looks like a much froggier looking Gollum.
