Ah.
I can do that too:
“You keep saying that magic talismans don’t work, but there have been five incidents in recorded history where they have unequivocally saved the human race from extinction. Does anyone here seriously not know what these events were?”
(Yeah, McCain’s done a lot that I don’t agree with. But still…)
I don’t think thete’s Been much love in Trump’s relationship with McCain
I think it was Avenatti who pointed out that when forced to reveal his list of clients in court, Cohen gave Trump, the Trump organisation and Hannity. He didn’t say Broidy.
Trump’s plan basically works out to “pressure other countries with socialized medicine to charge their people more for drugs. Then drug companies will be grateful for the new profits and show it via charging Americans less.”
It’s stupid; of course it’s stupid. But what’s shocking is that Novartis only paid like 1.3 million to Trump to get him to say it. I’d think the going rate for a president would be much higher.
If we had an actual billionaire President, you’d be right.
Its pretty well known that Trump took a massive hit in 2009 and has been hiding since, his personal evaluation hasn’t changed with the S&P price (making his business ventures a failure to begin with) but other people evaluating his wealth has repeatedly said there is a $6-7 billion gap. And that was before he even decided to run.
They will ALWAYS charge more if they can get away with it.
Just like that tax cut made all the companies give raises to their employees!
This is genuinely frightening. What else is disappearing?
I feel for the whistleblower. I wonder if they’ll be named and shamed or just simply disappear…
Democracy.
Common decency.
The myth of American exceptionalism and imperial benevolence.
The only thing not worth holding on to.
Yeah, that one isn’t going away nearly fast enough.
I was in a topic over at Ars, and people were arguing left and right that people are traitors if they refuse military contracts, and that America should hurry up and make murder bots before Russia, Iran, and China make them, because those countries will abuse them.
“Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait, but I must say, you do it better than anyone.”
Just like everything else, we’re better at it
I think it may be related to…
