Under Trump, the White House Medical Unit was "like the Wild West," and staffers had easy access to powerful stimulants and sedatives, sources tell Rolling Stone

OUR INTEREST IN THIS STORY was sparked, in part, by a handwritten ledger reprinted on page 14 of the January inspector general's report: a tracking form for the controlled substances ordered by the White House Medical Unit. In addition to the thousands of pills of Ambien and Provigil listed are even more potent sedatives and pain pills: morphine, hydrocodone, diazepam and lorazepam (better known by their brand names, Valium and Ativan), fentanyl, and even ketamine.

Is this why the demented orange pedo is always slurring his words?

Drug tests for welfare recipients but NOT for DOTARD's people.

It's a combo of drug abuse and dementia/Alzheimer's. His slur off of words is dementia, my dad had dementia and would do the same thing.

"We're going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts." Donald Trump

"If we don't get tough on drug dealers, we're wasting our time, just remember that, we're wasting our time, and that toughness includes the death penalty." - Donald Trump

It's likely Trump's eldest son's cocaine that was found in the guest entrance of the WH.

Ya know, maybe we could put an end to a lot of division in this country by just letting him and Hunter talk it out over a nice Scarface style pile of blow. Or at least get a reeeeeaaaaaallllll weird podcast out of it after somebody slowed it down minimally to angry chipmunk levels.

Noel Casler worked on Trump's game show, The Apprentice. He says Trump has been a pill popper for years. Remember Trump's hysteric over heated 2nd debate 4 years ago? Casler said Trump snorts Adderall. His performance that night showed all the signs.

All these drugs flying around and yet no Rogaine for Stephen Miller?

The part I don't get is why staffers need access to the "White House Pharmacy". It should be only available to the first family. Everybody that goes home at night can stop by CVS like everybody else. There is literally a CVS across the street from the White House.

NW and worth a repeat, in bold.

From the link on #4...

... Dr. Feelgood responded to the story on Twitter today in typical Ronny style, complaining that Rolling Stone was a "liberal rag" that relied on "anonymous sources."

However, Trump's former Press Secretary went on record specifically his involvement.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to show up to his rallies day after day sweating profusely, slurring his words, mixing up names, forgetting names, and talking a mile a minute. Ronny also had yet another dustup recently, getting into a drunken brawl with cops a rodeo. Nothing to see here ... ...

Perhaps their local CVS is not as, I'll say, liberal with the dispensing of such drugs?

Finally, a way for Trump to connect with the common people.

I've always found Adderall and Xanax to be a fine mixture. Let them get in there and battle it out. A great work cocktail.

Like Pete Rose said about hitting ... A combination of relaxation and concentration.

Taking a step back...

Why did some (many?, most?) on fmr Pres Trump's White House staff apparently need drugs to get them through the day?

Is it what they are subject to by trying to be guardrails for fmr Pres Trump?

If so, then what does that indicate?

Taking a further step back,
Why do some (many?, most?) in the US workforce apparently "need drugs" to get them through the day?

Find something, and post a thread.

20. Noted. I'll remember hearing that advice each time you end a post with a question mark.

Was the fentanyl needed in Helsinki after Putin left the demented orange pedo with a bloody turd cutter?

It is not the question mark that prompted me to suggest new thread. :)

It was the apparent change of topic.

Yeah, I'll readily admit that workers ("the US workforce") may use drugs to get by.

But I'd proffer that that topic is wholly different than people in the Oval Office apparently needing drugs to get through the day. Yeah, there are similarities, but there are also some very significant differences. For starters, the Oval Office.

Indeed, I was not trying to diminish your comment, but I just wanted it to be raised to the level it deserved, that workers in this Country may need drugs to get them through their day.

Yeah, I fully admit, it may be a tough distinction to make, but I also say that I look at the Oval Office, and what happens there, as something worthy of distinction.

I was not surprised when I had learned that Hitler was all kooked up most of the time. Just following in his hero's footsteps.
