    On the scale of drug abuse in general, and on the scale of maliciousness engaged in by Trump and his administration, alprazoplam is not serious. It’s right up there with huffing nitrous.

    Oh no! They did bars of Xanax! Oh, and Trump tried to get Pence killed when he certified the election, tried to strong-arm Brad Raffensperger into commiting election fraud, sucked Putin’s dick for four years, and on, and on, and on. There’s so much really, really bad stuff that worrying about the illegal use of safe and effective prescription drugs with fairly low rates of habituation used by tens of millions of people daily in the US is dumb. For fuck sake, when you compare this against stealing and storing highly classified documents about the US nuclear arsenal in his fucking bathroom, a bathroom that could have been accessed by hundreds of people, it’s not even on the chart.

    Shit, I don’t even think that what someone does or doesn’t use is any of my goddamn business, in much the same way that I don’t think Bill’s affair with Ms. Lewinsky was any of my business (…as long as she wasn’t coerced), especially since it’s very unlikely that either of those drugs would significantly alter Trump’s chimp-throwing-shit-at-the-walls decision making “process”.
