In what possible universe is this considered a good idea.

[FSogol]

10. How long until she starts yelling at grieving families?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

12. Someone, please tell me this is a joke.

She looks more like a user than a dealer. I thought tRump would at least respect us enough to put a top-notch dealer in charge.

That would also be more in line with the pattern of his other appointments.

.......

[Paladin]

14. What a repulsive and wrong-headed choice, for such a massive problem.

We're at a point where trump and his thugs are deliberately pissing on the public, just for the sick, perverse pleasure it brings them.

[Dave Starsky]

16. So many times I've said, "Is this a joke?"

And then I find that they are not joking.

It is hard to be a thinking person in an increasingly irrational world.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Listening to her talk makes me want to pop a few painkillers myself.

That's an odd way of dealing with things.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. What a joke! She'll change the perception alright.

[Uben]

20. What about the Kellyanne Conway crisis?

She's just a female Trump.....lies roll off her lips like barbecue sauce! She has zero credibility. Absolute zero!

[heaven05]

22. idiot

True american values and intelligence of 66million of it's citizenry is now known. Laughing stock among nations is ameriKKKa.

[tblue37]

23. She is replacing Jared?! nt

[jmowreader]

24. Apparently South Park's Mr. Mackey was busy this week

What the heck does Trumpler plan to do about the leadership crisis in this country? Besides making it worse, that is, and he's doing a helluva job at that.

[BlueIdaho]

25. But will she remember the first rule of running a drug agency?

“Don’t get high on your own supply.”

[JDC]

26. Her plan is to argue with opioids and tell them they are not addictive
