GOP Senator Marco Rubio and Democrat Senator Joe Manchin have now reportedly teamed up to try and stop the Biden Administration from using taxpayer dollars to distribute ‘crack pipes’ and other drug-related items.
As The Daily Caller reports:
American and West Virginian has been impacted by the drug epidemic that has killed over 101,000 Americans from April 2020 to April 2021,” Sen. Manchin said in a statement, according to The Hill. “While this is a heartbreaking issue that must be fully addressed by the federal government, using taxpayer funds to buy paraphernalia for those struggling with substance use disorder is not the solution.”
Sen. Rubio also voiced his concern. “Everyone knows someone who has struggled with addiction, and unfortunately, many have lost a loved one from the disease. Addiction is crippling, not only for the individual, but also for the family and communities throughout our country. We need to do more, but sending drug paraphernalia to addicts is not the answer.”

The text of the bill states that the PIPES Act would maintain the precedent which prohibits federal funding from purchasing needles or syringes for the purpose of injecting illegal drugs, with the exception of the risk of hepatitis infection or HIV outbreak as a result of the drug use.
The proposed legislation comes after the Biden Administration announced it would be using grants to fund the distribution of crack pipes to addicts.
Thank you to both senators who understand how terrible it would be to give out crack pipes.
Dementia joe has as usual lost his mind ( or what’s left of it).

Another stupid piece of legislation put forth by Democrats and the White House. Thank God for Joe Manchin having a sound mind and the courage to stand up against the CORRUPT Democratic party.

Birds of a feather flock together ,the Biden crack head administration.
Like son, like father.
Now lets get this straight 101,000 Americans were killed from April 2020 to April 2021 from drug overdoses why isn’t your country shut down over this after all that is more than the death rate over civid, just asking like.
Just another, in a long line of idiot ideas coming from our moronic leadership .. Crack pipes bought with our tax money. . We the American people must take leadership of our country back. These liberal assholes have proven again how they cannot be trusted . Nothing but lawlessness , ignoring the constitution and laws of the land. Didn’t this asshole Biden and Harris swear to uphold the laws of the land and defend the constitution . They’ve done neither, which should result in impeachment for both .. being the Border Czar thus idiot Harris is complicit as well . They both must go
Wow. First let me say that I hope these Dems keep doing non-sensible things like this and they go too far in other areas and they lose about every election for the next decade. Secondly, this is like what communists and socialists countries do. Next it will be the crack itself if they can get their way. For example, Russia, keeps vodka dirt cheap so the people can drink their misery away and so many become alcoholics, drink, drink, drink, keep the people drunk so they are not angry at the govt 24/7. Here, drink this vodka we keep cheap to numb you with. Particularly the men whose lives have little hope, which is most of them.
The US forces can easily defeat the Russians by leaving a few vats of high proof vodka in strategic places. Hic*
This is the same logic that wants to remove the police and put criminals back on the street. Never will they face the results of their decisions. It’s all to destroy America and nothing else.
LOL
Government overreach to protect you from government overreach. Laws are so convoluted that senators can’t even comprehend how they’ll be used.
Joe Manchin is proving himself to be a real American hero and patriot. Good for him and Sen. Rubio. This administration and the Dems in general are completely out of hand. History won’t be kind to any Biden “legacy.”
