DOJ: Billionaire Pharma Owner Fueled the Opioid Epidemic with Bribery Scheme
The billionaire founder and majority owner of Insys Therapeutics was arrested Thursday on racketeering and fraud charges for an alleged nationwide scheme to push an extremely potent opioid drug containing fentanyl onto patients.

According to the Department of Justice, John Kapoor, 74, of Phoenix, Arizona, used bribes, kickbacks, and other fraudulent practices to get doctors to overprescribe the fentanyl drug, called Subsys. Fentanyl is a highly addictive synthetic opioid that can be up to 100 times more potent than morphine. As such, Subsys is only intended to treat severe pain in cancer patients. But according to the DOJ, many patients receiving Subsys didn’t have cancer. From Ars Technica:

Still suffering Rage over the Election of Donald Trump as President?
On Nov. 8, you will have an opportunity to vent your feelings. Scream helplessly at the sky on the anniversary of the election. The event will take place in Boston to mark the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. As of this date, the Boston-based activists actions have inspired other liberals to hold events of their own in cities including Philadelphia, New York and Austin.

I never expected that Trump would be so effective in confusing the mind of the Moonbats. They started out over a year ago confident of a victory in their fight with the Evil Orange One. But when I now see events like this where they are screaming helplessly at the sky in despair, I see signals of a self-destructing behavior.
