RFK talking about the EO said the US pays per capita $1,100 for prescriptions, where in the EU it's $225. And if Europe raised their prices 20% they'd generate 10 trillion in R&D revenue (so they could raise prices 10% and still look good), that it's not on us to subsidize everyone else while also having our people suffer.

I'm glad RFK really is hitting the America portion more to make people realize it literally is US vs them, let the nationalism flow through you.

It's really nice that people are actually trying to fix things

“Allegedly” is a wild word to use when they’re doing it in plain sight

It is used that way because of the assumption of innocence in the American system.

Even if you are caught on video saying you are you and are definitely doing what you are doing in the video, you have to be treated as if it isn't you doing it.

Can somebody translate that Trump wall of text for me, please? That is HARD. TO. READ.

The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin.

I thought it was because we did not renew the funds for the program?

Assuming california will make sure to obfuscate this information or outright refuse, what's the possible escalation from there? Does it go to Scotus or something?

Trump is actually doing something about the California Problem. Tear them apart. Make them give up their slaves and green policies.

They do. BMW, Toyota, Cadillac, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Hyundai, and Porsche all have manual options for new 2025 cars.

It's typically an expensive enthusiast option for sports cars. You rarely see it as an option on commuter cars, because driving a standard on a shitbox in traffic isn't actually fun.

If i'm understanding this correctly, a leftist is angry because trump did something to lower the cost of american healthcare because it might make it harder for non americans to get healthcare?

 

[DavidS877]

I really want Trump to go hard on the whole sanctuary city/state thing. You get federal dollars so when ICE comes calling you give them the person they asked for or hold them until ICE arrives. Blatantly giving money to illegals should just be considered straight up aiding and abetting.

Yep, the narrative is that Trump is a racist that has declared war on immigrants. Never mind that he is going after those who are here illegally with those affiliated with criminal groups being top priority. It's why they have been focusing so much on the "Maryland Dad" or those heckin Euro Tourists who learned the difference between a tourist visa and a work visa the hard way.

Perhaps they should read their Bible more and let in those poor refugees who were seeking asylum from their hostile government.

Taking on both big pharma and big insurance at once is some Dark Souls tier shit

I don't mean to suck his orange balls too hard, but I think at this point he just has complete immunity. All of the tools these corpos, ngos, interest groups, and all of that shit just don't seem to work on trump.

They turned the entire media against him
They turned "culture" against him
They turned education against him
They used the law against him multiple times
They went after his personal buisness
They lobbied against him
Somebody literally shot the man
They played the race card, gay, card, foreigner card, pacificst card, hippie card, commie card, trans card, education card, even the economist card. He's been attacked on every rhetorical front by everyone. And he keeps going.

What can they possibly do? Look at how far they're having to reach, their protests are filled with boomers and nobody "cool" wants to talk about him one way or the other. They have basically nothing they can threaten him with.

I've said it since 2016, trump is the symptom not the cause (although there's a big chicken/egg dynamic here). Progressives really just can't accept that the wind is not at their sails, they thing if they knock out trump or musk or rogan or whoever, then suddenly the people will all just become progressive on everything when it's the oppossite. People are tired of this shit because they're tired of it, not because somebody brainwashed them into being so.

So now that there are TRUE and HONEST refugees, they don't want to help. That's really funny.

Speaking of, Newark's government can go fuck itself. These people were all too happy during the lockdowns. Now that the feds want to remove their indentured servants, suddenly federal organizations are a problem. When they're actually acting under their jurisdiction. Trump should make an example out of them, so these assholes pay for their own actions for once.

 

[The Ugly One]

Ohh yeah fuck, I forgot American cars are made for niggers (3 pedals just confuse the socioeconomic factors).

It's because we're rich enough to afford advanced machines that automate repetitive, boring processes. Our homes have air conditioners, too.

"Europeans drive manual transmissions because they are elite drivers who drive elite cars, not because they're so poor that things like automatic transmissions, 6-cylinder engines, and back seats are luxuries."

If you can't trust anyone in politics, you might as well go with the one that tries to serve your interests.

Ah, but has RFK considered that the rules based longhouse consortium's Denmothers decided that yes, Americans should eat shit so the Europeans can have cheap pie? He might not like it but that's what the group decided and who is Trump to reject a decision made by committee? That would be going against the rules!

I wish the big orange faggot all the luck with prescription drug costs. Taking on both big pharma and big insurance at once is some Dark Souls tier shit and I hope it works out the way he thinks it does. There is no greater duo in regards to the strangle hold it has on the American economy. We're in a world where providers bill insurance companies insane amounts knowing the insurance will limit their payout anyways, so if they demand a ridiculous amount up front, it'll be a win when they still get a ridiculous amount, just not as much as before. It's like some weird ass version of the Art of the Deal.

Lets give our Type 1 Beetus bros a fuckin break.

Lets ban pharma ads while we're at it. No other nation in the world lets pharmabros try and con consumers into taking shots or pills via scaring boomers on CNN.

 

[Jace on ice]

Banning pharmacy ads like smoking ads would basically cripple big pharma. I hope RFK runs with that.
