The rational solution is to stop letting White House doctors do whatever they want.
But Dems won’t do that, because they abuse it as well. And Republicans sure as shit won’t do it.
Which is why instead of talking about how trump was more insane than normal, we should talk about why ever WH doctor can hand out addictive drugs to anyone in the White House or on Air Force 1 like they’re jelly beans.
It’s just another example of why so much shit in our government shouldn’t operate under the assumption of good faith.
It’s just neither party wants to limit their own power when they’re in charge.
We don’t have a party that’s actually trying to do the right thing.
It seems to me that it is possible to be critical of an administration without turning it into “they do it too and they won’t stop it either!” That’s just whataboutism.
No, it’s pointing out that we shouldn’t just blame one president, we should also blame the current president for not lifting a finger to change the system.
Like, imagine if someone kept talking about how bad the Holocaust was, and anytime people brought up a current genocide, they say we can’t talk about that because the Holocaust was worse.
But also they refuse to take any steps to prevent future or even current genocides.
We shouldn’t ignore the problem was worse. But we definitely shouldn’t refuse to fix the system because it’s not currently as bad as it used to be. Because absolutely nothing is stopping it from being even worse than the current worst time.
It’s not the difference between bad and good, it’s the difference between bad and HOLY FUCK!

Just “bad and HOLY FUCK!” as you put it
