I'm tired of this crap and you should be too.

A recent report outlining China's direct involvement in fueling the fentanyl crisis in the United States has rightfully sent shockwaves through Congress and communities already reeling from the devastating impact of opioid addiction. The Select Committee on China’s findings uncovered China's subsidization of the production of illicit fentanyl precursors for export, shedding light on the complicity – and in some cases, outright support – of foreign actors in exacerbating this epidemic.   

As I noted several years ago when the fentanyl mess really got out of control China was the source of the precursors and there was no possible way that something at that sort of industrial scale in a communist nation wasn't happening with the full support and sponsorship of the government itself.

Well, now we have it.

You don't simply "find and arrest" the people responsible -- indeed you can't arrest them as there's no jurisdiction.

No, there's only one answer: An embargo, absolute ban on Chinese entry into the United States, ban on ownership of anything in the United States by any Chinese national and a bill to offset on a punitive basis their alleged "holdings" for each and every person who dies of a fentanyl overdose.

I said punitive and I meant it -- such as $1 million per person that is simply seized from their alleged "holdings" and returned to Treasury.

They don't like it?

Then cut off the drugs.

No?

Fine -- fuck 'em.

Enough of this shit folks.  China is literally poisoning Americans and if our government won't stop it then they should be forcibly ejected -- all of them -- and replaced with people who will.
