Failed prohibition

[1 CAT FAN]

I didn't like heroin and it made me throw up.

If it weren't for the cost, hassle, legal risk and nasty importers/dealers I might spend my retirement being a cokehead. Odds are I'd get bored and switch to hallucinogens or just toking, but I'd love to have the option.

Probably experimented with patients drugs during your bed pan slinging career.

Probably experimented with patients [sic, are you drunk?] drugs during your bed pan [sic] slinging career.

Nice to see that you're fantasizing so stupidly about me. If I liked the opioids I might have been tempted to steal from the hospital, never from a patient. But, I don't like them.

You know a better source, huh. Most hospitals avoid the negative publicity with bed pan slingers like you that get caught stealing narcotic medication from the hospital. They just terminate them, not a good resume looking for another job.

I've always admired and appreciated emergency room nurses that work so diligently performing their job especially with overcrowding of emergency rooms. Then there are some that just can't handle it.

"better" than free? That's stupid. Are you stoned? What part of, "I don't like them," is unclear to you? Too many consonants in the words?

Again, I'm planting the idea in your stupid brain that you will remember your expressed disdain for nursing when you or a loved one needs such compassionate and vital care. Enjoy, moron!

You're telling me how it works in hospitals? That's stupid.

Thank you. I did see a handful succumb to addictions, booze more than drugs. Sad, but the hospitals mostly were generous with detox, rehab and diversion programs.

Nope, I sure don't. And because of that, I am forced to plan, organize, and participate in my own Cannabis Festival. It has never failed to be successful.

Philippine vice president says time for Duterte to halt failed drug war

Uber-repression and mass murder, which POSPOTUS and many cons and LEOs would like to see here in the US, is still a failure, surprise, surprise.

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte arrested on ICC warrant
The International Criminal Court has been investigating Duterte since 2018 over his anti-drugs campaign that killed thousands while he was in office.

Manila, Philippines – Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is investigating allegations that “crimes against humanity” were committed during his so-called “war on drugs”.

Duterte was taken into custody on Tuesday at Manila airport upon his arrival from Hong Kong, according to the Philippine government, which received the ICC request via Interpol, the international police agency....

Human Rights Watch (HRW) called Duterte’s arrest “a critical step for accountability in the Philippines”.

“His arrest could bring victims and their families closer to justice and sends the clear message that no one is above the law. The Marcos government should swiftly surrender him to the ICC,” Bryony Lau, HRW’s deputy Asia director, said in a statement....

Among those killed during the anti-drug campaign were more than a dozen town mayors and other local officials as well as lawyers and judges.

Several children, with no links to any drug activity, were also killed. The government dismissed these deaths as “collateral damage”....

Over the course of Duterte's six-year presidency, more than 7,000 people were killed in official anti-drug operations, according to police records, although rights advocates say the number is closer to 30,000

Philippine politics is largely a feud between two families, each with its own regional base:

Philippine Vice President Duterte impeached over alleged Marcos assassination plot and other allegations

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte was impeached Wednesday on a range of accusations that include plotting to assassinate the president, large-scale corruption and failing to strongly denounce China’s aggressive actions against Filipino forces in the disputed South China Sea.

The move by legislators in the House of Representatives, many of them allies of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., deepens a bitter political rift that involved the two highest leaders of one of Asia’s most rambunctious democracies....

Duterte has repeatedly accused Marcos, his wife and his cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, of corruption, weak leadership and attempting to muzzle her because of speculation she may seek the presidency in 2028 after Marcos’s six-year term ends....

Duterte ran alongside Marcos in 2022 on a campaign battle cry of unity in a deeply divided Southeast Asian country. Both were scions of strongmen accused of human rights violations, but their strong regional bases of support combined to give them landslide victories.

Marcos is the son and namesake of the late dictator ousted in a 1986 pro-democracy uprising. The vice president’s father and Marcos’s predecessor, Duterte, led a deadly anti-drug crackdown that is being investigated by the International Criminal Court as a possible crime against humanity.

The whirlwind political alliance of the campaign rapidly frayed after their electoral victories.

Opps.

... She said in an online news conference on November 23 that she had contracted an assassin to kill Marcos, his wife and Romualdez if she were killed, a threat she warned wasn’t a joke....

Philippine president says Duterte has left on jet bound for ICC

Former Philippines leader Rodrigo Duterte left Manila on a jet on Tuesday bound for The Hague, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said, hours after he was arrested at the request of the International Criminal Court over a "war on drugs" that defined his presidency.

Duterte, a firebrand ex-mayor and former prosecutor who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, was arrested at a Manila airport early on Tuesday, in a major step in the ICC's investigation into thousands of killings in an anti-drugs crackdown that caused shock and condemnation around the world....

Veronica Duterte, the 79-year-old's youngest daughter, said on Instagram her father had boarded the jet but the family had not been informed of its destination.

"The airplane used to kidnap my dad just left minutes ago," she posted.

Duterte could become Asia's first former head of state to go on trial at the ICC....

The prosecutor of the ICC has said as many as 30,000 people may have been killed by police or unidentified individuals.

Police have rejected allegations from rights groups of systematic murders, staged crime scenes and fabricated incident reports.

Lock him up for the rest of his life!
