Crack Pipes in 'Safe Smoking Kits' Prove Psaki and Fact-Checkers Lied in Denials

[beefheart]

Think about it.

Ooo, sounds like a very special episode of the ABC After School special...

 

[pocket aces]

Imagine seeing a crack (or meth or whatever else) pipe and then denying that is what it is...

Yes, I am sure it is just used for potpourri.

Nobody cares.

 

[Kiwimac]

Nobody cares.

What you need to remember about in dealing with these right wingers is that if Joe Biden walked across the water they would tell you he was attacking swimmers.

 

[The Baron]

So it appears that crack pipes were indeed included in these kits, despite the Administration, democrats and the mainstream media fact checkers (sorry for the redundancy) claiming otherwise.

I am sure all will go out of their way to correct the record on this misguided federal government policy/program, right?

Crack Pipes in 'Safe Smoking Kits' Prove Psaki and Fact-Checkers Lied in Denials

"
"They were never a part of the kit, it was inaccurate reporting." Those were White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki's words earlier this year when she was asked about reporting that a new "harm reduction" grant program from the federal government allowed taxpayer dollars to end up putting free crack pipes in the hands of addicts.


Townhall, at the time, covered the insane federal program — first reported by our friends at The Washington Free Beacon. Biden's goons in the mainstream media and supposedly independent fact-checking organizations were quick to try and hide the truth after the Biden administration got caught with their hands in the...crack pipe jar.

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra released a statement at the time saying "no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits."

Former Vox "journalist" Aaron Rupar pounced on behalf of Democrats and tweeted furiously that the claim was a "lie," "false," nothing more than "Fox News-fueled hysteria," and "total BS!" then used his tweets to hawk subscriptions to his Substack.

The Daily Beast laid blame for the narrative with a "false" report in The Washington Free Beacon. The Washington Post fact-checked the claim and concluded that "no," the Biden program wouldn't see crack pipes given to addicts.

The self-appointed arbiters of truth at Snopes rated the claims made by The Beacon, Townhall, Fox News, and concerned lawmakers "mostly false" before subsequently changing their rating to "outdated." USA Today debunked the claim. So did CNN and Politifact.

On Thursday, WaPo fact-checker Glenn Kessler updated his initial story that disputed The Free Beacon's first report on the free crack pipes to include their now plain-as-day proof, but did so without so much as an "oops" or "sorry" from the outlet that claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness.""

Lies!

All of it!

Thank goodness we have a new "Disinformation Czar" to protect us from the lies of right-wing fanatics!

Yes indeed. Some of us may need to see O'Brien in room 101 if we are not careful!

Most of the responses are based on semantics therefore a non-sequitur. The rest are just, as usual, attacking the messenger.

The topic of this forum is "Bias in the Media" and the OP is yet another example of the administration, the democrat party and their teammates in the mainstream media "doing what they do" with regard to anything that might cast a negative light on what the leftists in this country are trying to do.

They come up with these policies, they should be proud of them and not try to obfuscate.

glass pipes existed before "crack"... besides that, "people who smoke crack" know how to make a pipe out of many things... and all glass pipes are not used just for "crack".

The Rise of the Glass Weed Pipes - Cannabis History 101 - Leafbuyer

The glass weed pipes we know and love today have not always been available. It may seem crazy to us modern-day stoners, but the market for glass weed pipes just took off over the years.

Right Winger have a madness, which driven them to "attack anything and everything", ON A DAILY BASIS, just to fill their lust for "contention and conflict"... What a misterable bunch of Barbaric Motivated People, who relish Savagery.

The passion for "ignorance" snakes through their ranks their ranks... has been seen across the world, where people no longer have any fictional concepts that white people in general are intellegent, but the "world is now more aware" that "Intellect", MUST BE assesed on an individual basis without thought of skin tone.
Trumpism and Republican Confederate Madness has brought out the "Real Truth" of the wide spread "under-educated and uneducated madness" and the incessant drive of some to "live, think and act like barbarians".

Truth has been evident in America for Centuries and Decades, of the "wide spread ignorance in right wing ideology". The Southern State have demonstrated it overtly throughout all these generations. They pass it from one generation to the next!!!! It's why "States which claim themselves Republican Led, are ALWAYS PROMOTING CONFLICT about something. "EVERYDAY".
These type of "white people" are victims of "White Nationalist Delusions" with some fictional madness, to think they are a Model for society.

• They are rife with Spousal Female Gender Abuse, Child Molestation, Mass Murder of Innocent People, Killing the Family on all side of the spectrum from Males killing the entire family, to women killing the kids, to kids killing the family, to their kids "shooting up class mates", to embezzelment, swindles, cheating, lying and every type of malice and vile criminality that anyone can concieve to exist. Then they try and deflect and deny these very acts are systemic within their ranks.

That mentality has impacted their offsprings which is why we see so much Opioid Addiction, Meth and Alcohol addiction, property destruction and they wrap all that with their overt race and gender bias madness.
They were exposed under Trumpism that their Right White Evangelical Pretense, were nothing but pretense, as they use it to try and promote a public image that does not fit with the realtity of far too many within their ranks.

• This is not to say, all Evangels are "pretenders".. but time is certainly showing that far too many don't hold truth unto the principles and values they claim of ethics, morality and civility of Christian values of Do Unto Others, As You Would Have Others Do Unto You.
• Anyone today, who is promoting Republicanism, invest themselves in A Grand Lie, There is no Conservatism other than Trying to Conserve A System that Support White Nationalist of Wealthy White Male Dominance.
• The same Right Wing White Nationalist System that has created generation upon generation of "Poor Working Whites" and "Dire Poor WhiteS", and using them to think they can keep Non Whites and Women from Economic and Civic Opportunity.

You should at least point a link to all of that Bovine Scat.

A bunch of fallacious nonsense. LOL!

 

[Crunchtime]

Is their any evidence federal funds were used for these kits?

Probably funded by Covid relief money. There is an investigation under way. But the left will file it away no matter what it leads to.

 

[Lloyd Christmas]

Any chance the kits shown were tampered with? Here's what USA Today says is in the kits:

What's inside a safe smoking kit to stop opioid overdose? No, it's not a crack pipe

The Biden administration released $30 million of funding for the overdose epidemic. Conservative outlets have been vocal critics of safe smoking kits

www.usatoday.com

And: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...included-30-million-grant-program/6736281001/

It addresses the Free Beacon report

typical right wing garbage. They are such childish losers. We had them posting recently blaming biden for the overdose deaths. Then when something is done, they lie and whine about that. all these people do is lie, bitch and complain.

I would like a right winger to explain to me why they want drug addiction to cause more harm instead of less.

To have something to bitch and whine about because they are such miserable people

 

[roguenuke]

It has always been sad and perplexing for me to see so many not even bother to actually look up what experts say when it comes to these kits, on what good they can do, what is needed in them, etc.

I do note though how the complaints tend to only highlight certain, very liberal viewed cities, ignoring that places in the South, conservative states and areas are using these sort of kits too.

NC experts explain how safe smoking kits reduce harm from drug use

Following outrage over federal funding for “crack pipes,” we wanted to know: what are the benefits of providing supplies for safer drug use?

www.northcarolinahealthnews.org

This technical bit of news was exciting to those who work in harm reduction. These agencies often scrape by on shoestring budgets, especially when it comes to buying actual supplies to make drug use safer.

You do realize that the link you provided contains absolutely nothing which refutes the fact that glass pipes(crack pipes) were part of these kits, don't you? The only substantive statement in it is the quote from Psaki which is little more than slight of hand wordsmithing in which she is trying to hide behind some ridiculous form of "plausible deniability" because, hey, if you wanted to smoke tobacco out of a glass pipe you could... I guess?

Personally, I don't really give a shit about these kits, their purpose, or who's getting them but don't call people liars when the obvious truth is dangled right in front of your face.

 

[BlueTex]

Probably funded by Covid relief money. There is an investigation under way. But the left will file it away no matter what it leads to.

Or by the 50% of their funding that comes from private donors

So it appears that crack pipes were indeed included in these kits, despite the Administration, democrats and the mainstream media fact checkers (sorry for the redundancy) claiming otherwise.

I am sure all will go out of their way to correct the record on this misguided federal government policy/program, right?

So you use a common cannabis pipe when you smoke crack?

 

[SuperDS77]

So you use a common cannabis pipe when you smoke crack?

I do not smoke crack. Why do they include "chore boy" in the kit? For pot?

What is with the semantic arguments?
The pipes are indeed included in the kit, which is what the OP is about, the misreporting of the MSM and the administration.

If you think these pipes are provided for the "safe" consumption of pot, I have a bridge to sell you. Cheap.

Interested?

You sure seem to know a lot about crack pipes.

I smoke weed from the same pipe you smoke crack with. I've never known it to be a crack pipe.

When you put chore boy in it then it’s used for crack. Chore boy served as a sort of filter and support for the rock.

Wow you really "got me" on that one!

Why so obtuse?

 

[d0gbreath]

It's a hash oil pipe, but not until you smoke hash oil in it. In the kit it's just a clear glass pipe.

 

[RealityNow]

If that's your attempt to dismiss what's written, you can.... but it does not negate what is written.

I'm sure if you cared enough for truths and realisms, to read and gather Historical and Documented information... you can find plenty that addresses points and references in the commentary I posted.

I can't answer why you come across as obtuse.

Seems like that could work for some weed concentrates too, not just crack.

Yes, the thing is chore boy isn’t good for the lungs. Of course most people that smoke drugs really don’t much care.

[American]

The Glass Pipe is the quintessential smoking tool. It’s convenient, portable, and gives you amazing airflow for incredibly good hits. Most people associate a Glass Pipe with smoking cannabis or maybe smoking tobacco. However, along with these classic herbs, many other herbs and products can also be smoked with a Glass Pipe, including some you’ve likely never even heard of.

No matter which kind of Glass Pipe you have, you have tons of options when it comes to smoking materials. Here are 8 things you can smoke with a Glass Pipe.

And this excuses all the lying how?

 

[American]

You automatically assume that it is for crack.

You are trying so hard for a "gotcha" but everyone is just laughing....

It is a gotcha. Liberal lie, like always about their programs and intent. It's never what they say, but what they say about conservatives.
