[00:41] IsambardPrince Drug overdose deaths have increased by 22% in Oregon since Legalize Most Drugs. [00:41] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], ^ [00:42] IsambardPrince State officials are panicking and trying to shut it down. [00:42] schestowitz[TR2] ok [00:43] IsambardPrince Trump is right about one thing. Drug dealers and traffickers should get the death sentence. After they're put on trial of course, and if they are convicted. [00:43] IsambardPrince He left that part out though. :( [00:46] MinceR i wouldn't trust the state with anyone's life [00:47] MinceR especially a state run by baldemort [00:47] MinceR especially one where baldemort has no checks on his power [00:48] TR News "I decided to see whether this bot was scraping my pages, too.

[00:54] IsambardPrince <@MinceR> especially one where baldemort has no checks on his power [00:54] IsambardPrince The federal government doesn't actually have a lot of police officers. [00:54] IsambardPrince The system is structured so that most of it is grants to the states. [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] IsambardPrince However, Trump could federalize the National Guard, invoke the Insurrection Act, and deputize out of state police officers to come swarming in and do a massive crackdown on Chicago or LA. [00:55] IsambardPrince For example. [00:55] IsambardPrince The Insurrection Act of 1807 doesn't actually have too many stipulations on how it can be used.

[00:56] MinceR or he could just use the armed forces [00:56] IsambardPrince Yes, that's what the Insurrection Act does. [00:56] MinceR or he could have his boss send in the orcish military [00:56] MinceR or rather, orcish convicts [00:56] IsambardPrince The President declares that there is civil disorder that the states are not suppressing. [00:56] IsambardPrince Then he is allowed to call up "the militia" to deal with it. [00:57] IsambardPrince Which means the military. [00:57] IsambardPrince But potentially anyone, including armed civilians. [00:57] IsambardPrince Under the Second Amendment, all the people of the United States are collectively an unorganized militia. [00:57] IsambardPrince So when it says "the militia" it could be any citizens.

When the $1500 orthodontics benefit kicks in, I'll probably do invisalign just to hit up the plan for everything I can take it for.

[04:12] IsambardPrince Harvesting the poor for organs. [04:12] IsambardPrince Who will miss a guy who overdosed? [04:13] IsambardPrince The hospital is probably selling organs from all the American overdose victims to the Chinese after the Chines fentanyl kills them. [04:13] IsambardPrince The Chinese apparently don't donate organs because they demand to be buried intact. [04:14] IsambardPrince So it would not surprise me if they pay off the hospitals in the US to route them some organs from victims who won't be missed. [04:15] IsambardPrince Many US hospitals are slowly being snapped up by companies operated by Indian scammers. [04:15] IsambardPrince Like the one they took over here. [04:16] IsambardPrince Within a year, the hospital wasn't paying any of its bills. They weren't paying the landlords for their medical offices, they weren't paying the contractors who had doctors working there. They tried to force the county to buy them with the threat of running the hospital so poorly that the government would have to shut it down. [04:16] IsambardPrince My doctor packed up and moved to another hospital network in a different state. I go to another state to see my doctor now. [04:17] IsambardPrince It's somewhat of a nuisance, but it's easier than finding a good doctor. [04:18] IsambardPrince Most doctors are fairly incompetent, or dishonest, or both.
