Mayor Pete tells dems to stop being A-holes
impulse replied to Cryingdick's topic in Political Soapbox
Maybe. But it doesn't bring on fits of screeching and drooling like Trump. -
You keep getting caught up in the weeds. The lie is that Biden took on Big Pharma and made them lower prices. The truth is that they negotiated prices on 10 (count 'em 10, of the thousands of drugs), and those lower prices kick in starting in 2026. Any lower prices won’t take effect for three years, and the path forward could be further complicated by litigation from drugmakers and heavy criticism from Republicans. 10 drugs targeted for Medicare price negotiations as Biden pitches cost reductions | AP News Edit: BTW, here's the wingnut conspiracy guy in me... I'd bet that those 10 drugs were about to come off patent and drop in price anyway. I'm taking a drug (Omeprazole) that costs me about 5 baht that used to cost several dollars when it was still on patent as Prilosec.

That's a huge lie. Exactly what medicines went down under Biden? Where's the list? Out of the thousands of medicines in the pharmacies, he negotiated lower prices on 10 of them, to kick in a few years from now. As for insulin, Trump had already gotten that price down with an EO. Biden rescinded that EO, then bragged about getting the price down to the same level.

They do now. Equal access and equal treatment. But the only guaranty of equal results is equal effort and equal ability. And that's not how the world has ever worked. There have always been slackers and people with lower IQs. The only way you can give them equal results is to put every student on the lowest plane.

Breaking :Act Blue to be investigated for alleged foreign funding .
impulse replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
For me, the icing on the cake will be if they show a ton of USAID money being laundered back to the Dems by ActBlue. And Ukraine aid. And... And... There's a new sheriff in town and his sidekicks have mad database and auditing skills. -

The head that was pixelated would just indicate if he was Jewish. Oh. You mean the big head. -

I'd bet that most of the lefties here never even heard of ActBlue until this came out. I've been following their donation muling since long before the election, while noting a not-so-suspicious lack of curiosity on the part of the MSM. Just about every right wing outlet has been following it. Crickets from the MSM. I don't have access to YouTube from here, but you should watch the OMG videos where they ask "donors" if they really did donate 1000 times, totaling tens of thousands of dollars. The answer is usually something along the lines of "well, I did donate $15 once", while FOIA'ed documents from ActBlue show a thousand separate donations from a single address. Often an address with no building. Someone's going to jail here. -
Xi Jinping is not satisfied with winning the trade war

Educated Americans should know perfectly that over extending your debt leads to economic trouble The United States has the largest external debt in the world (Wikipedia). The US has been living beyond its means for many years. No doubt put in that position by "uneducated" politicians. That's what I said, too. You're quoting someone else. That's the way the quote feature works sometimes when there are nested quotes. In fact, my reply to that quote was: You claim that, yet here we are. -
And though I agree with a lot of what you've said, I'm not as tough on her as you and others. She's a product of the times and the Me Too movement. And someone's pawn. Someone put her up to the lawsuits, whether that was to get a cut or to damage reputations, I don't claim to know. Keep in mind the long list of men who did consensual and legal (albeit dodgy) stuff before they got rich and famous. And 20 years later any woman that smells money or just wants to hurt them can change her mind and sue for sexual assault. Russel Brand, the Tates, and on and on. Not to mention the poor college guys whose lives were ruined before video evidence came out showing who was the aggressor. And it was the woman, who changed her mind the next day or after she got dumped. I'm looking forward to 50 years from now when we may find out who Epstein was working for. (Or we may not.) I don't claim to know what agency/agencies they were, but I'm pretty sure he was being funded and protected to get the dirt on powerful people for blackmail purposes. And somewhere out in the ether, there are videos, audios and other evidence.

Which will be completely lost on those who still think Trump raped a 50 something crazy woman in a department store with no corroborating witnesses, (and who didn't even remember what year it happened). Then he was asked to pay out $2 million for the rape and over $80 million for mean words. As if mean words were 40x as bad as a rape that probably didn't happen. But ChaChing for her.

Gotta love the way the lefties are diverting attention from the Dem donation mules at ActBlue to discuss anything else. -
Probably installed by the Copacabana to say, "lookie here". It's a subliminal thing.

The House Commitee disagreed. And of those entities, which were elected by the people, and which were unelected deep state actors? -

I think they were counting on the FBI (who had the laptop for a looong time) to do the right thing. By the time it became clear they would bogart the information from the American voters, it was pretty close to the election. So he decided the only way the voters would have the truth before the election was to release it. His mistake was trusting the FBI and (51) intelligence officials to do what's best for America. -

If the Tuk-Tuk was moving, I wonder how someone got such a close-up photo. Was it all planned?
