A majority of white voters elected THE worst president in history. Intelligent???

[christiefan915]

I agree....the majority of WHITE PEOPLE elected one the most ignorant presidents in US History...one Barry Soetoro.

This is a majority WHITE CHRISTIAN NATION. One of the major problems that this nations faces today...is RACE BAITING.

The demographics of the nation are changing and it's killing you, isn't it.

[christiefan915]

which of course you use to justify your dissatisfaction. irrelevant, in the big picture of things, though.


those 3 million votes in california counted, did they not? all 55 EC votes did go to hillary, right?

Yes, all of Cali's 55 EC votes went to Hillary, just like all of PA's 20, MI's 16 and WI's 10 went to trump.

I will never be convinced something fishy wasn't going on in PA. We have plenty of idiots who believed trump's lies but the bigger cities have more than enough voters to override the idiots.

[christiefan915]

I happen to think that is true, Trump could never have won if the Dems had fielded a decent candidate.

Even the GOP hated trump and didn't think he was a decent candidate. So it's still an unsolved mystery to me how trump is now sitting in the WH.

How the opioid epidemic became America’s worst drug crisis ever, in 15 maps and charts

Drug overdoses now kill more Americans than HIV/AIDS did at its peak. These maps and charts tell the story.

With all the other news going on, it can be easy to lose track of this fact. But it’s true: In 2015, more than 52,000 people died of drug overdoses, nearly two-thirds of which were linked to opioids like Percocet, OxyContin, heroin, and fentanyl. That’s more drug overdose deaths than any other period in US history — even more than past heroin epidemics, the crack epidemic, or the recent meth epidemic. And the preliminary data we have from 2016 suggests that the epidemic may have gotten worse since 2015.

1) Drug overdoses now kill more people than gun homicides and car crashes combined

Drug overdoses killed more people in 2015 than HIV/AIDS at its 1995 peak

2) Drug, painkiller, heroin, and other opioid overdose deaths are still on the rise

3) Opioid overdoses are one reason US life expectancy declined for the first time in decades

4) The epidemic is much worse in some states than others

5) By and large, the drug overdose epidemic has hit white Americans the hardest



6) Americans consume more opioids than any other country

7) In some states, doctors have filled out more painkiller prescriptions than there are people

8) Drug companies have made a lot of money from opioids

9) At the same time, Americans report greater levels of pain

10) Painkillers are often prescribed for long periods of time, even though there’s no evidence they effectively treat chronic pain

11) States are now cracking down on opioid prescriptions

12) Heroin is very cheap, making it an easy alternative for painkillers

13) Fentanyl has become a growing problem as well

14) Anti-anxiety drugs are involved in more overdoses as well

15) Most people who meet the definition for a drug use disorder don’t get treatment

Heroin Kills White People More Than Anyone Else — And Nobody Is Sure Why

APPLAUSE

Time for republican whites to stop blaming everyone else for their ills.

[christiefan915]

You can go as deep as you like my friend .. just be aware that I'll counter with demonstrated evidence of the wisdom of fighting charter schools. They are NOT a solution to education.

More germane to this discussion, how much has the Republican Party attempted to spend money to educate workers?

Increasing evidence has demonstrated a greater demand for re-training and affordable healthcare for the white working class, else they fall into despair, ill health, and die.

I agree, especially about charter schools. Too many of them are just money-making opportunities for entrepreneurs and large corporations, with little interest in educational innovation.

They are money-making profit centers first and foremost.

They are not a solution for education in this nation.

America's typical heroin user is now a white woman in the suburbs
90 percent of heroin users are white, and most of them don't live in big cities

Contrary to what researchers reported 50 years ago, today's average first-time heroin user isn't a 16-year-old male of color. She's actually much more likely to be a 23-year-old white woman. This, researchers conclude in*a study published today in JAMA Psychiatry, represents "a marked shift in the demographics of heroin users seeking treatment over the past several decades."

According to the study, caucasian women and men have embraced prescription pills as their drug of choice. But heroin, which is much cheaper, eventually becomes more attractive. This means the drug once considered a "first opioid of abuse" is now more widely viewed as a last resort — and a popular one at that. Notably, heroin use in women has "increased from what was a very small percentage of about 20 percent back in the '50s to about 52 percent of the current population [of heroin users]," says lead study author and Washington University neuropharmacologist Theodore Cicero.

The GOP healthcare plan wasn't about healthcare at all.

It's a tax cut for the rich, and death, disease, and pain for everyone else.

how is that relevant to the mid summer 2015 polling? I'm showing you why he got elected. I don't care that the voters might now be regretting it. that's their problem.
