We’re Not Joking: Sen Schumer Wants The FDA To Crack Down On Raw Cacao

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appears to be a man with way too much time on his hands. Either that, or he has grown temporarily bored with promoting the disproven conspiracy theories of Russian hacking.

Something is obviously amiss. What other explanation can there be for the Senator’s recent ridiculous campaign to force the FDA to begin regulating chocolate?

Schumer launched his initiative on Saturday in order to enlist the FDA in a fight to regulate “snortable chocolate” powder that is being used by some in clubs for euphoria and energy.

Schumer specifically targeted products like Coco Loko whose product is marketed as raw cacao snuff. The product includes powder that is made from raw cacao beans which contain caffeine.

Coco Loko also specifically contains other substances including taurine, guarana and ginkgo biloba.

While informing consumers of a potential risk if it exists is by no means a bad thing, it’s obvious that Schumer is simply following the same path as fellow idiot Jeff Sessions in promoting yet another extension to the drug war. Either that or his obsession compulsion with regulating, taxing, banning and bombing has become an actual psychosis.

Don’t believe me? Here’s a brief list of things that Chuck Schumer has tried to ban:

Green laser pointers


E-cigarette flavors

Powdered alcohol

25-to-Life (a video game)

Alcoholic energy drinks

3D guns

In his diatribe against the scary chocolate Schumer stated, “I can’t think of a single parent who thinks it is a good idea for their children to be snorting over-the-counter stimulants up their noses. This suspect product has no clear health value.”

Of course, dying in the foreign wars Schumer supports has no clear health benefit either, but given the fact that Schumer wants to join Jeff Sessions in intensifying the drug war, it would be safe to say that Schumer does not have a clear grasp as to what has a health benefit and what does not.
 
The question is not whether parents want their children snorting chocolate, the question is whether adults have the right to do so. Many parents wouldn’t want their children pimping themselves out to Wall St. and Israel and acting as a ventriloquist dummy for every special interest with an open wallet. But nobody’s trying to ban Chuck Schumer.

The proper answer to Schumer is: you are in the minority, therefore not one thing you want has any force, you have no say, and you will be ignored because you are powerless to do anything.

And then let's have the majority cut the money for his staff.

Now, as to snorting chocolate: I think that's stupid. But Schumer, as a member of the minority party, has no right to have an opinion followed. He should be crushed into silence.

There is no justice on the Left. We have the power now. Let's silence them for good, by force. Then they will never take power again.

I'm tired of them trying to take out my President by lies. Let's take them out by Trumped up charges, arrest them, imprison them, or kill them for resisting arrest.

If the police are going to be out of control and "feel threatened", let's have them start "feeling threatened" by Democrat leaders. Thin THAT herd. This is, of course, satire. Just like the bloody head of Trump by Kathy Who? was satire.

Republicans only have the balls to insist on tax cuts for the rich, open borders, "free" trade, and $500 toilet seat defense contracts. They've never stood for anything else, and they never will.

Oh, and Obamacare. Republicans are not going to repeal Obamacare. They are, rather, going to fund it: huge payoffs out of public coffers into the pockets of private insurance companies.

So now the insurance companies join the defense contractors as the beneficiaries of permanent government largesse, at the hands of the Republicans.

Republicans are dishonest to the very core of their shitty little souls. They never, ever tell the truth about anything economic. If they did, they would never get elected.

Once elected, they never fail to do the exactly predictable thing: support the big money that has had the entire Republican leadership bribed, bought, and sealed since Ulysses S Grant sat in the White House.
