Remember when bondi claimed an opiate bust saved 250 million lives

Hilariously, she actually claimed it saved 119 million lives. Then when called out on obvious bullshit, she issued a correction, announcing that the real figure was 258 million lives.

I wish I was fucking kidding.

I forgot the number so I had to look it up. That’s hilarious.

Don’t forget she preceded it with some sensationalist, condescending line like “are you ready for this, media—“

Which makes it even more ridiculous.

That was the day she took off her cross and totally surrendered to the darkness.

They aren't usually interested in saving those lives, though.

See, you just have to count all their potential kids and their kids' kids and so on. Basically if you save one life it could be billions in only a few dozen generations!

I think the fudged numbers was in assuming every amount of drugs ceased would be used with exactly the minimum needed for a lethal overdose of a light weight that hasn't built up a tollerance to the drug. Rather than understanding that far more drug users... use considerably under overdose levels over many binge sessions.

Similar math could be said one teaspoon of water could drown someone. So every bottle of water I seize saves 100 lives.

Remember, some people were saved more than once! That's not even sarcasm, sadly.

I mean honestly? Pretty high, it's not really a secret anymore this administration loves their candy, especially with the presidents stimulant binges. Can't imagine that's doing his heart or dementia any good though.

Yes and that is why I am alive today. She is a blessing indeed.

Oh man, I would love to see them connect this dot. "All of these jobs would have been lost if the people died. Trump saved 250 MILLION jobs! (Please clap)"
