The stupidity, it burns.

1. WTAF?

Sounds like FOTUS is waving his magic wand again.

[Eugene]

2. Does that mean the U.S. has grounds to invade like 2003?

[True Dough]

3. His "presidency"

is a true weapon of mass destruction!

4. Hey, Moron. Fentanyl is still legally regulated and used in hospitals for operative pain, cancer, and other indications

If you do something this moronic then Karma may just visit with one of those forms of cancer (e.g., osteosarcoma--bone cancer) for which pain management is nearly wholly ineffective and why even fentanyl--with all its "street' illegal diversions--remains necessary as an option.

So, if you declare it a WMD, then how the hell do you think it is going to remain available where needed and legally warranted? Eh, asshole?

7. That is my concern

The legitimate use of this drug is needed - it's effed up when patients aren't allowed to have opioids - or docs are reluctant to prescribe them - when they are clearly necessary. Some of them should try living in the pain of those they are stopping from getting.

5. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he launches attacks on Canadian or Mexican land.

Brace for impact!

[KPN]

6. Lol. And his MAGAs and far-right talking heads will

eat that idiocy up — claiming its brilliantly spot on.

[NCDem47]

8. Connect the dots.

This is pretext for some outrageous miltary or diplomatic action. This will be his "cover." All fake. All manufactured. To get back at somebody. His administration keeps on tying Canada to this issue. Maybe he'll unlaterally move the border in a place or two under this guise.

9. It's amazing how easy it is to please a petulant toddler.

His new shiny toys are Executive Orders and Tariffs. Ooooh... isn't he fierce!
