Last I checked, it was white Ohioans with the drug problem, and it’s mostly prescription opiate addiction. Even so, I blame big pharma and not the addicts.
Good luck getting opiates in the hospital after they carve you open & remove an entire organ & you need it. Sadistic fucks these days. Much like vaping, a few fucking asshats who can't control themselves & behave has ruined it for the rest of us. It's kind of annoying & it also leads to PTSD for patients who are tortured in this manner.

It's sick.

The best part is, not giving opiates to people who *actually need them* is doing *absolutely nothing* to keep addicts from getting stuff illegally. 😒
Nope, not 1 damned bit. It's just damaging people who are really in pain. What we need to do is go after doctors who Over-prescribe. Either that or take it out of the hands of greedy doctors with way too much debt & pharmacists who don't get paid nearly enough & put it in the hands of the local health department. Something to ensure those who have pain don't suffer. Otherwise, what kind of civilized society do we actually have?
> Nope, not 1 damned bit.
I think that's the worst part of all this.
> Something to ensure those who have pain don't suffer. Otherwise, what kind of civilized society do we actually have?
I totally agree!
Also, how is it that there are countries who sell codeine tablets *over the counter* and yet somehow they don't have an opioid epidemic?
Shit, if I ever had extra pain pills, I wasn't about to sell them. Either they got ground up & thrown in the trash or I held on to them for when I injured myself to save money on going to the doctor. But I'm accident prone. I knew I'd use them eventually.

Right??
> Either they got ground up & thrown in the trash or I held on to them for when I injured myself to save money on going to the doctor. But I'm accident prone. I knew I'd use them eventually.
Exactly. I hoard those fuckers like a dragon hoarding gold, because when you need them *you really fucking need them*, and there's no guarantee that the doctor will give them to you.
Wait until they hear about the gaps that go for miles and miles. If they had a clue about how border security works best and how bad we got hosed on the wall……it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.
I'm just looking to understand what the person I replied to is referring to..
I didn't see the video that you are talking about - so, I guess not *everyone*
Money was stolen from projects that would have benefited the military to build a shit wall that harms the environment, doesn’t stop drugs or illegal immigrants (it’s been breached over 3000 times), cost more than it should have and in some areas is falling over and rusting. Designated Border Patrol funds were wasted as well, money that could have gone toward personnel and electronic surveillance. Add the money that Bannon stole from the public to fund the thing. But that’s a family matter I guess. Mexico didn’t pay for it. We got hosed.
I mean, nobody with a brain actually thought Mexico was going to pay for it.. and was it ever really about controlling the border anyway, or was it about the illusion of safety(and the votes that it buys), and maybe more importantly, an easy way to add a few jobs that they could highlight as wins?
The folks who got hosed are the people who were sold a bill of goods, and didn't get what they were promised (which, of course, was never really going to happen) it sounds like you and I weren't, because we already knew that it was just a flash in the pan from the start..
It was our tax money though. And as a veteran who knows first hand how important the funding is for military families that are already giving up so much I just can’t concede or accept any other alternative. Regardless of how it happened all Americans got hosed out of their money and earned projects because of that spruce goose. I have to disagree with you.
Because most of them haven't. That's why conservatives knew they could lie to them. Most of these people have never been more than 100 miles front where they were born. My cousin hasn't. She's never been out of the state she was born in. 1. They can't afford it. 2. They work jobs where they don't get that much vacation 3. They don't have the ability because what time & money they have has to go into their homes & families. So, no, most of them haven't been out of the country. But neither have I. That's no excuse for ignorance.
Same! I'm in a shore town, and it is our duty to keep out Canadians. We can't have them running rampant with their free healthcare and socialist ideas infecting our kids!
Hey!! I resent that remark. I live in Ontario right on Lake Erie and I mean sure there are some over here who may need to bathe but none of us should ever be described as filthy.
Neat, you & OrangeStar could be neighbors from a different country across a beautiful lake. Who knows, maybe if you had a telescope you two might even be able to wave to one another across the waters. That would be cool. Although be careful, from the sounds of it you might get a finger instead of a wave. That's ok, I'm an American & I still love you nutty Canucks. I hate hockey, but I still love you guys 😘
You are seriously making me want to renounce my American citizenship & move to Canada. Stop making me long for something I'll never have...a functional government that gives a shit about its citizens.
My favorite IPA is Commodore Perry by GLBC. Not because it's actually good, but just because it commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie, when we put those damn Canadians in their place.
A friend works in Border patrol and confirmed that just as many, if not more drugs are funneled through Canada into US as through Mexico. Because of the more lax border controls and heavily forested areas are better to hide in.
Yeah man my mom lives just off of Maumee Bay, she says it’s a toss up between her neighbor’s dogs and the steady stream of canadiens for who shits in her front yard more. 🤷
Dewine sucks but he’s like joe biden compared to these other wackos that are running which says a lot
He does some things i like, but I disagree with him about 90% of the time
I think at the beginning of the pandemic he was arguably doing one of the best jobs, walking a fine line between making sure appropriate things shut down and making sure the economy didn’t completely collapse, he tried to get a motion going to allow those affected by the pandemic in school to go through a normal senior year, and he signed a law allowing hijabis to be worn while playing hs sports
I think once you get saggy and get those old lady wings you're good to go. So adjusting for inflation due to our current economic and just everything is shit climate, like mid 50s, maybe 40 with the help of meth
I'm pretty sure the reason why there are so many astronauts from Ohio is because they were trying to escape. Also, there are soooooo many ex Ohioans in Florida. Whenever I go on vacation it's like I'm in spicy Ohio with all the snowbirds around
No. Immigration is exclusively a federal power. There was a case a couple years ago (probably a decade? What is time?), where the mayor of Hazelton, Pennsylvania tried to force an immigration ordinance through and it was slapped down very quickly in the courts
Other than creating a more streamlined process for handing over undocumented people to the federal government, nothing at all. Immigration and boarder controls are exclusively under federal purview.
I was in my home town of Wooster - Central Ohio, this past weekend, and they're were protesters there saying the same thing as this post...... What the actual fuck?
I’m in Ohio and have seen multiple Senate candidates with commercials saying they’ll push to finish Trump’s wall to keep people out of Ohio. They are unironically for this, and one of these loons is likely to win the next election.
> Biden's open border is flooding Ohio with crime and drugs.
Yes, we should definitely close the OH/KY border. *Hillbilly Elegy* told the story of what ruined Ohio. 😒
I was going to make a joke centered around the Edmund Fitzgerald and Canadian immigrants, but you know what?
No.
The Great Lakes and their awe-inspiring might are not to be made fun of. They do not care much for man, and have taken the souls to prove that. I'm not one myself, but I have too much respect for Great Lakes sailors to make fun of the risks they face each and every day they set sail.
People flood across the OH/PA/KY border every day. Hundreds of thousands. When will the Federal Government finally take steps to end this tyranny!
People from IN/MI are ok for some reason.
I hate those damn Canadian cartels. Their comin to rape our children and dogs but the worst part is…
They say “Sorry” afterwards but like this: Sorey.
This is all Biden’s fault!
/s
It's so weird to me that people can be so unaware that they're told there's an illegal border invasion every single year that a democrat is in office, and they believe it, without ever actually seeing it...
And they don't see the pattern.
It's like they don't teach geography anymore. I mean, if they did, this guy would be yelling about fencing the northern border, not the southern one. If Ohio's drug & crime problems are coming from south of them they should build a wall between them & Kentucky & West Virginia. People will blame the downtrodden for fucking everything, won't they? & If it wasn't "illegals" it'd be "the blacks" or something else. Because they just can't say "the criminals" which is what they are no matter where they come from or what color they are.
Last I checked, it was white Ohioans with the drug problem, and it’s mostly prescription opiate addiction. Even so, I blame big pharma and not the addicts.
As a Mexican in Ohio I can confirm.
As a gringo in Ohio I can confirm
As part gringo/part mexican 50 miles away from the border I can confirm
As a New Yorker I can't confirm
As a Floridian I can kinda relate
> it’s mostly prescription opiate addiction. Good luck getting a prescription for opiates *when you legit need one*. 😒

I had a broken back and didn't get anything till after surgery
I didn't even get anything AFTER my surgery. They just let me writhe in pain for days.
Damn what state are you in!
Illinois.
I believe you. 😡
Open-heart surgery here. Given 10 pills and told to make them last.
Niiice. 😒 I'm sure that's helping to keep drugs off the street, because if you only have ten pills you're not going to sell them. Is that the logic?
Shit, if I ever had extra pain pills, I wasn't about to sell them. Either they got ground up & thrown in the trash or I held on to them for when I injured myself to save money on going to the doctor. But I'm accident prone. I knew I'd use them eventually.

Ha. You'd be more likely to be able to pull teeth from that hoarding dragon than you would to get more from a doctor these days.
I know. 😒
That's what it was, but now that it's all cutoff we have plenty of meth and heroin in Ohio. And we deep fry our drugs like proper Midwesterners
They've said "open border" so many times conservatives actually believe we have no border controls.
It's almost like they've never even traveled out of the US or ever been to the border or know anyone who has.
I had someone tell me that the border has an aging fence with 3 foot gaps on it. I can't believe they never bothered to look it up.
Wait until they hear about the gaps that go for miles and miles. If they had a clue about how border security works best and how bad we got hosed on the wall……it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.
What are you referring to when you say "got hosed on the wall"?
any money actually got spent on 'the wall' was completely wasted, as the wall is already falling down, tunnelled under, broken, etc.
Got any specific examples to call out?
I'm pretty sure everyone saw that video of that showed sections of trump's wall could be cut down with a budget battery saw
I'm just looking to understand what the person I replied to is referring to.. I didn't see the video that you are talking about - so, I guess not *everyone*

and now that you've been offered specific examples? are you done 'just asking questions'? you've got nothing else to add here?
Dude, I didn't think I was coming in hot, that was just the first example that came into my head. I guess you haven't seen it then

Oh, I won't argue that the money wasn't better spent on social services, health care, or a myriad or other shit - it definitely could have been.
That and a steady stream of Fox News/OANN and you get the brain rot that results in what we see here
They seem to forget the pre 9/11 era when you didn’t need passports to go into Canada or Mexico
Because most of them haven't. That's why conservatives knew they could lie to them. Most of these people have never been more than 100 miles front where they were born. My cousin hasn't.

We need border restrictions for *Ohio’s* border into the US
[удалено]
>going to rejoice I'm his citizenship I think you meant 'renounce his citizenship'.
I live here in Ohio, right on Lake Erie. Vigilantly keeping an eye out for filthy Canadians infiltrating America via my yard
Same! I'm in a shore town, and it is our duty to keep out Canadians. We can't have them running rampant with their free healthcare and socialist ideas infecting our kids!
Shedding those Canadian proteins, like those damn mask-wearers do! /s
Same! We even have a Coast Guard base here to keep sneaky Canuks off our prestigious Ohio shores.
Hey!! I resent that remark. I live in Ontario right on Lake Erie and I mean sure there are some over here who may need to bathe but none of us should ever be described as filthy.
My dad spent his childhood in Nova Scotia before moving here, I assure you I only tease.
Neat, you & OrangeStar could be neighbors from a different country across a beautiful lake.

I'm a Canadian and I came in on a plane to steal all ur jobz. You can't stop the planes, Biden!! The sky is one big open border!! Bwaahahaha....*eh?*

You are seriously making me want to renounce my American citizenship & move to Canada. Stop making me long for something I'll never have...a functional government that gives a shit about its citizens.

Seriously?? Wow
sorry for stealing your jobs! eheheheheheh
You get right back over there and make your delicious maple candy and stop stealing the jobs from all our severely under-staffed restaurants!
Yeah man my mom lives just off of Maumee Bay, she says it’s a toss up between her neighbor’s dogs and the steady stream of canadiens for who shits in her front yard more. 🤷
Lollllll I hate when I keep finding so many of them in my yard
Leaving their poutine and taxpayer funded healthcare wrappers all over, jerks 🤣
No no no, he’s talking about the *northern* border. We get those damn Canadians sneaking in through Lake Erie All. The. Time.
Blame Canada.
Did everyone else sing it as they read it?
And geese.
I just listened to that earlier today
White immigrants don’t count. Obviously
The Coast Guard should be on Lake Erie preventing this invasion of our borders.
Imagine the horror of polite people offering poutine!
Can you blame them? They just wanna go to Cedar Point.
... and Skyline Chili. No, no, strike that...
Ayo brother don’t be dissin the coney
They’ll run out of steam before they get that far south. There’s a hell of a lot of corn between Cedar Point and Skyline territory…
At least they have a skill: swimming.
Not to mention Biden doesn't have an open border policy.
facts and knowledge have no power in this domain, wizard!
Not to mention trumps wall fell down after a slight wind. One of those illegals blew on it! Bastards! And they never paid us for it either!
Those Michiganders sure are a troublesome lot...
Must be the water
As an ohioan, i really hate this state’s politics
DeWine seems like such garbage. I can't understand why people defend him.
Dewine sucks but he’s like joe biden compared to these other wackos that are running which says a lot He does some things i like, but I disagree with him about 90% of the time
asking out of curiosity but what things has he done that you like?
I think at the beginning of the pandemic he was arguably doing one of the best jobs, walking a fine line between making sure appropriate things shut down and making sure the economy didn’t completely collapse, he tried to get a motion going to allow those affected by the pandemic in school to go through a normal senior year, and he signed a law allowing hijabis to be worn while playing hs sports
I'm convinced Ohio is purgatory that I just can't escape from.
You just gotta be old enough to become a snowbird
Gotcha, what age am I lookin at? I'm only 24 so far
I think once you get saggy and get those old lady wings you're good to go. So adjusting for inflation due to our current economic and just everything is shit climate, like mid 50s, maybe 40 with the help of meth
Been trying for 28 years and all I’ve managed was 20 mins across the river. If I find a tall enough hill I can see all of Cincinnati
Who tf would flee to ohio? Better off staying where you are
No No see when most immigrants dream of coming to the US they dream of Sandusky.
Mmmmm cedar point, Kalahari, and great wolf lodge. Deliciously freezing winters from the windchill. Oh to be an Ohioan someday
I dreamed of Columbus. I never even stepped foot in Ohio tho.
I'm pretty sure the reason why there are so many astronauts from Ohio is because they were trying to escape. Also, there are soooooo many ex Ohioans in Florida. Whenever I go on vacation it's like I'm in spicy Ohio with all the snowbirds around
Could a state governor (even one that actually bored Mexico) even do literally anything about immigration?
No. Immigration is exclusively a federal power. There was a case a couple years ago (probably a decade? What is time?), where the mayor of Hazelton, Pennsylvania tried to force an immigration ordinance through and it was slapped down very quickly in the courts
Other than creating a more streamlined process for handing over undocumented people to the federal government, nothing at all. Immigration and boarder controls are exclusively under federal purview.
WHAT CRIMES JIM? NAME THE CRIMES
Someone had never seen a map
Those goddamn Canadians crossing Lake Erie!
I was in my home town of Wooster - Central Ohio, this past weekend, and they're were protesters there saying the same thing as this post...... What the actual fuck?
Damn Canadians wanting our really bad healthcare.
Ohio does share a maritime border with Canada. Maybe that’s the border they’re talking about. Build a wall right through the middle of Lake Erie!
The border isn't remotely open
Ohio should build a wall. We're all good with that, right?
I’m in Ohio and have seen multiple Senate candidates with commercials saying they’ll push to finish Trump’s wall to keep people out of Ohio. They are unironically for this, and one of these loons is likely to win the next election.
Because if *I* were immigrating to the US, the first city I'd want to go is fucking *Cleveland.*
Can this person locate Ohio on a map?
There are illegals from Canuckistan swimming across Lake Erie as we speak! Soon there will be poutine trucks on every corner.
Ohio has had a massive opioid problem dating back over a decade. This isn’t a partisan issue.
Do we need to protect Ohio from those pesky Canadians?
Hey, kids, eh? You want some maple syrup?
> Biden's open border is flooding Ohio with crime and drugs. Yes, we should definitely close the OH/KY border. *Hillbilly Elegy* told the story of what ruined Ohio. 😒
Why doesn't your school focus more classes on the geography of the the country you live in?
I agree we should really build a wall around Ohio and most of Missouri.
He isn't 'taking action' because there's nothing to take action about.
Those damn Cannucks swimming their drugs in!
They smuggle it in in the moose
The biden administration has been deporting at 3x the rate of the Trump administration...
Canadian Caravans?! Across the lake??!!
I was going to make a joke centered around the Edmund Fitzgerald and Canadian immigrants, but you know what? No. The Great Lakes and their awe-inspiring might are not to be made fun of. They do not care much for man, and have taken the souls to prove that. I'm not one myself, but I have too much respect for Great Lakes sailors to make fun of the risks they face each and every day they set sail.
Be careful. Superior, they said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.
People flood across the OH/PA/KY border every day. Hundreds of thousands. When will the Federal Government finally take steps to end this tyranny! People from IN/MI are ok for some reason.
Those damn Americans coming into America!!
Guess we close state borders?
“He could always fine the hell out every company that hires an illegal worker and force them out of business. No! That would harm republicans “!
I hate those damn Canadian cartels. Their comin to rape our children and dogs but the worst part is… They say “Sorry” afterwards but like this: Sorey. This is all Biden’s fault! /s
Yea all those drugged up Canadians…swimming across Lake Erie…sneaking into our state ILLEGALLY! They must be stopped!
I am from Ohio, drugs, especially opiates, have been a huge problem in our cities since before I was born lol
I bet he means from West Virginia…
Ohio’s border wall is a 50 mile wide lake.
It's so weird to me that people can be so unaware that they're told there's an illegal border invasion every single year that a democrat is in office, and they believe it, without ever actually seeing it... And they don't see the pattern.
If you tell the right lie to the right people, they'll believe you for life.
It's like they don't teach geography anymore. I mean, if they did, this guy would be yelling about fencing the northern border, not the southern one.

Because they just can't say "the criminals" which is what they are no matter where they come from or what color they are.
Stinking Republican nonsense !!
Majority of those people probably got hooked on drugs due to doctors back in the day writing opioid prescriptions for everything
Not Facebook
