  • Australia exports about 50% of the vital blood products America needs to keep patients there alive. Plasma for accident victims, immunoglobulins and recombinant proteins.   Some are subject

    Well she was spot on in the first few seconds.........and I would have to agree........."actions at the time resulted in the destruction of the critical thinking abilities of half the US population"..

Rubbish 

we don’t have hundreds of tent camps for fentanyl addict zombies, street whores or daily mass shootings.

 

We are very sophisticated and have good free healthcare for our people and a royal family.

 

We don’t have trailer parks and the biggest incarceration per capita in the world.

 

Can you answer a simple question?

Will medicines cost more or less with Trumps tariffs? 

 

Wow. A post full of lies. You've really outdone yourself.

 

First, I'm guessing you live there and not Thailand . Now I know

 

UK is overrun with illegal Muslims

 

Stabbings are legend

 

UK healthcare...not a day goes by someone posts here about bad care and months long waits

 

Why in the F do you care about the costs I pay for Medicine.

 

As an American I'm telling you - you can absolutely stop caring (caring lol)

 

Disingenuous post of the day sure

I really wish you stupid Americans would mind your own business and stop bombing countries and stop pretending it is your god given tight to gibe the policeman of the world with your stupid Christian ideology.

 

Talk to Israel. We no longer control the country.

I don’t, I am happy about the Trump decision to raise the prices of medicines.

 

You had better read my post again. 
 

I applaud it.

We have not been over run by Muslims.

But you sure have been taken over by the Jews.

 

I like Muslim people. I am surrounded by them in Phuket. 
Nice folks.

Is fomenting hatred towards Jews a hobby or is it a professional pursuit?

Not at all. I love the Jews.

But the claim that we have been overrun by foreign Muslims is garbage, less than 3% of the population.

The Jews do have a lot of political sway in the USA

No you don't.

You said we're controlled by the Jews.

That's hate speech.

You're not fooling anyone.

The US is #27 in maths, #22 in science. #178 in infant mortality. You teach your kids to hide under desks.

 

America is #1 in prison population, #1 in people who believe angels are real, way ahead of any other nation in defence spending.

 

FFS, you are surrounded by two huge oceans east and west, and friendly nations north and south. <deleted> paranoid.

 

I really wish you could distinguish between fact and opinion, and understand how badly Trump is degrading the image of Americans to everyone else.

 

Don't look now, but you've just made the case for electing Trump and for dismantling the agencies that cause those horrible results.  It's not as if we got that way in the past 6 months.

I notice you have ignore the anti Muslim rhetoric earlier in the thread but jumped on me agreeing that Israel has sway in the USA.

Typical

I didn't even read that and that is NOT what you said.

Nice try. No cigar.

This guy in the video below has a similar philosophy on what Trump is doing as the woman whose video I linked in the OP. 

 

At 1:56 he states Trump is trying take control away from "the globalists" and give power back to the people. 

 

Feel free to disagree, but I think these people might be making key points that might make more sense if there is indeed a common thread. 

 

The next big move might be abolishing the Federal Reserve. To be honest, finances are above my pay grade and I don't fully understand how The Federal Reserve works. I just know that for years I've come across conspiracies about The Federal Reserve being created by a "cabal of International bankers", presumably mostly to serve their own interests. 

 

Once the Federal Reserve guy is out, interest rates will drop more than ever and trillions will be released into the economy, according to this guy. Again though, need some economics background to understand how interest rates affect the economy, which I don't really have. So open to debate. And let's see how it plays out.

Please tell me how putting a 200% tariff on vital plasma, immunoglobulins and recombinant proteins you can't make enough of yourselves, helps Americans with their medical bills. Big Pharma is the only beneficiary.

 

Don't look now, military spending is being increased by $900 billion.

 

It is estimated dismantling USAID will put back the progress against HIV/AIDS in Africa by a decade.

 

Trump' war on liberal universities such as Harvard, and closing down the Federal Department of Education, will mean America will get even dumber.

 

Your post is ample evidence of that trend.

Ignorant Trump.

 

Many US pharmaceuticals undergo primary production/processing in the USA; they are then shipped off to China, and in some cases India, for the more expensive processing stages; after which they are then shipped back to the USA for final processing.

 

It will take many years, and would be very expensive (especially now that ICE is deporting the inexpensive workers), to 100% produce these pharmaceuticals in the USA.

 

If one is interested, the USGAO (United States General Accounting Office) has produced several detailed reports on this topic over the past few decades; reports Trump's and Kennedy's "people" must be unaware of.

Trump and Kennedy are not interested in real facts.   They create their own fairy tales.

It's surprising the number of people that believe in these fairy tales.

We've had decades of declining test scores, the cost of a college degree has risen way faster than the inflation rate, we have $1.7 Trillion in outstanding student debt, a lot of which is in arrears because the graduates are more likely to focus on (and strike for)  tampons in their employers' men's room than actually contributing to profitability (which, as I recall, is why companies used to hire graduates).  Nowadays, a lot of them are unemployable except at Starbucks.  And the best poster children are the examples of their output:

 

ScreamingLefty.jpg.9ea96ced6e70d9922f7da01b04a4ef84.jpg

 

Someone needs to throw a hand grenade into that disaster, and start all over.  It's way past time.  It's beyond tweaking around the edges and has been since a few years after Carter created the Department of Education.

America's problem with education is having the wrong focus. It has been churning out lawyers and accountants for decades. Trump has a Bachelor of Science in economics.

 

I don't even know what the <deleted> that means, Trump is anti-science.

 

Lawyers produce laws, accountants produce numbers. They produce services , not goods.

 

South Korea has one of the world's most vibrant economies. It produces quality, sought -after goods. Koreans like to talk about the lazy Japanese.

 

It also is the nation with the highest number of scientists and engineers in the workforce. That's no accident.
