We had a speaker last week on this. On parts, she was spot on and had a good angle. It wasn't about addiction or getting high so much as medication awareness. The audience was all 60+ save for me, and it makes sense.
But there wasn't time and it wasn't the forum for the former; those seeking it out as an easy replacement for heroin, etc.
What really ticked me off was her flopping on some points. To be fair, it was a new crowd, new presentation and not enough time, or the right forum for things, or even linking it together. I might have an angle for a series now except I'm leaving here soon. Just the same I am going to mention it to the prez before I leave.
Trump donates third quarter paycheck to battling opioid epidemic | TheHill
'Trump made battling the nation’s opioid crisis one of the key planks during his presidential campaign, promising to address it soon after he took office. '
'President Trump will donate his third-quarter salary to help his Health and Human Services Department battle the opioid epidemic, the White House announced Thursday. '
'Trump has pledged to donate his entire salary to various causes and has so far dedicated each of his quarterly $100,000 paychecks to different federal programs. '
'Trump first told reporters he would label the crisis a national emergency back in August. '
'He declared the crisis a “health emergency” in October after criticism over a delay in that designation. '
They rejected his offer of only accepting $1. The president salary is meant to curb the corruption that happens in politics by providing Good enough income you can't be bought... So he donates it instead

Lol, he should donate the check to victims of pedophilia. Just to make a point.

The opioid problem isn't from pain pills. It is the heroin and fentanyl that the jews have gave to their pet niggers to sell to the idiots

A good part of it is, yes. I'm not saying they are mutually exclusive, but the problem is such that it reaches beyond just that.

I'm fucking lazy right now, so serious question. Did any other president in the history of the US donate their presidential paycheck to anything?
