The republicans will never do anything that ultimately pinches too hard on drug corporation profits and attendant pipelines to republican coffers.

This is all KGOP Kabuki Theater. There is no "there, there." The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief gets all puckered up and thumps his chest and says "Freak Out everybody, an emergency." Then he and his republican comrades do shit about it. What a sham. What fakers.

Times report today: "...even as he vowed to alleviate the scourge of drug addiction and abuse that has swept the country — a priority that resonated strongly with the working-class voters who supported his presidential campaign — Mr. Trump fell short of fulfilling his promise..."
