POLITICAL THREAD

[FirewithFire]

The docs will get back to the pharm rep coming to the office to explain the program and kickbacks for meeting quotas. More junkets from Devlin-MacGregor for pimping Provasic.

That was the script for 1993s The Fugitive before pharma got the FDA to lower advertising barriers in 1997. It was a much more efficient use of capital to get the end user to beg their doc for the meds than to bribe the docs.

Yeah, but at least it gets them out of funding every single news program, sporting event, and making it seem like their products are a miracle instead of a curse. Plus, there are still some doctors who have enough ethics that they won't prescribe something they know is harmful.

Next step would be to get them out of sponsoring med schools and colleges so that they can get favorable studies and reviews in return.

It's wild how doggedly democrats defend child rapist.



Le Pen looking at jail time too. Leftist gonna leftist.

Don't disagree. I think any large organization struggles with this. My fear with some of the slashing which is taking place is the speed in which it is taking place. I am not sure if enough time is being spent on determining what positions aren't necessary and which ones are. Seems like a numbers game to me in the sense of being able to say we eliminated 20k positions.

11 million people work in education and 4 million are teachers.... I think just throwing a dart to get rid of 2 million would be pretty safe to do.

I thought, coming in, that Florida was/is the most dangerous team in the Tournament.

Also, Hurley can DIAF.

I don't know if I'll ever not hate Hurley after this season. He's just such a horrible person even outside of coaching. Wild how quickly that happened.

 

[hmt5000]

Taking money out of the mockingbird media's mouth... Will the networks be able to stay afloat without USAID and big harma? How will the rogue agencies spread their propaganda without all that money?

We're talking billions if not trillions in profits endangered by this for both networks and pharma. Will the med schools actually have to start teaching medicine instead of throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks?

cnn and msnbc will go out of business without phizer money. l o l.

Compare this type of leadership in the recent article that exposed the Biden administration illegally allowed Exxon to give Venezuela hundreds of millions of dollars. "Therefore, any Country that purchases Oil and /or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States on any Trade they do with our Country"

Of those 11 million, the vast majority are state employees. DOGE would have very little impact on changing those numbers. This is a state issue, not a federal one

Edit: only about 5k people work for the Dept of Education

It's happening fast so that they don't lose initiative. I am also sure that there is some meat hitting the floor with the fat.

The "State" isn't just idly sitting around. They are formulating plans to counter Trump's actions, and as everyone can see, there are no shortage of Judges willing to try and stop further progress.

Once initiative is lost everything becomes bogged down and the counter actions of the "State" come into play. Further efforts to trim the government will fail.

The cuts are also to reorganize these various delegated branches of government. I believe some of these positions will be be filled again once all desired cuts have been instituted.

Which is why the DoE is pointless to begin with. It doesn't do anything the states weren't already doing. It forced states and districts to do stuff to comply with DoE regs to get money when it didn't help educate a single person. If a state wants to waste it's education money then it will fail and people will move to a state with quality education. That's how it worked until Carter screwed it up going out the door.

Man, woman, 16 year old kid.. Heck 8-year old kid.. a cripple.. any race.. Don't care.. you damage my property in this way and you're getting throttled.

This behavior is absolutely bottom-barrel type shit. Destroying someones proeprty because of political viewpoints, when you can't even approach them face to face? You're lower then scum in my book, and the punishment by my hands will reflect that.

An angry individual approaching someone's kid in a threatening manner is a good way for them to get two bullets to the chest and one to the head. Pretty sure such things are justified under some state's Castle Doctrine. That is how this whole thing is going to end sooner rather than later if these people do not stop.

I'll tell yeah, that's next. And its going to be interesting to see what sort of punishment they get. There's a lot of lawyers, and society in general, who will argue what they were experiencing was a hate crime/terrorist activity. And people will flock to that persons defense.

If I see tomorrow that someone damaging someones property got ran over? Good. I'll venmo the Tesla driver $10 myself towards detailing the car and getting the blood off his tires.

It's a new week so let's check in to see what is racist today

 

[Girthang]

Watched/listened to an old Tonight Show clip with Johnny Carson and Marty Feldman while I was working on a project. Something I heard stood out to me and I thought I'd post it here to see what yall thought.

Feldman mentions that he and Mel Brooks share a common ancestral home of Kiev, Ukraine. Neither were directly from there, but their grandparents and/or great grandparents were. Just found that interesting. Wondered how many more Hollywood folks of their age had Ukrainian ancestry, so I googled....

Actors, actresses, directors & producers of Ukrainian descent

It's a list of Ukrainians and also those, who were born in Ukraine or their ancestors were from that country.

www.imdb.com

This is just a quick list, no doubt, since there are a few others I found like Brooks and Feldman that aren't on there, but there are A LOT with Ukrainian ancestry. I found that interesting

Celebrities of Ukrainian descent • Ukraїner

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has prompted Ukrainians to take an even closer look at their family trees and understand their lineage. The same is true for people with Ukrainian roots, who may not have even realised that they are of Ukrainian descent, not Russian, until 2022. Along with...

www.ukrainer.net

An estimated 1M+ US citizens have Ukrainian ancestry. 00.3% of the country.

I can't get grass to grow in one corner of the backyard near an electric pole. Damn racism! I need a bigotry-resistant grass seed. Clearly the electric company is racist.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Transparent. The American public needs to see and hear that cabinet secretaries are doing their jobs.













The Department of Agriculture cancelled a $600 thousand dollar contract in Louisiana that studied the menstrual cycle of transgender men. What the f-ck did that have to do with Agriculture?

 

[Bill Cosby]

lol at Trump sending the NJ US Attorney to Namibia so he could send his aggressive big titty attack dog to take his place.

Hopefully she is being sent their solely to take down corrupt democrats.

 

[Girthang]

Covid and military stockpiles were depleted. Not defending it but Obama literally used every missile in our arsenal and did build any extra to replace them.

Not to mention the deferred deficit/debt of Obamacare hit during Trump's first 2 years, and there was no way to avoid it any longer.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Once again, we had retards standing on the corner of Man o' War protesting Trump and Musk. There was like 15-20 people with signs wanting people to honk. What did you accomplish? Haha

If you use a small "straight pin" you can redirect the aim of you wiper fluid nozzles to shoot sideways as you drive by them.

This also works great on days that hundreds of bicyclists are out on one of their rallys and refuse to yield to the far right.

This would be effective and funny as well.

That data has already been sold at least once, maybe 5-7 years ago, so it's likely not worth as much as it might have been. Anyone want to chip in and see if we can grab it?

It's the federal government that provides the majority of student loans, not the state. I think that's a pretty big deal. It also ensured students with disabilities have equal opportunities in education. Before that, many states didn't allow certain kids into a public school or completely segregated them. And spare me the part about if schools in states fail, people will move out... While some have the means and the "want" to do move out, most don't or won't. If that was the case, most would be moving out of southern states.

 

[Bill Cosby]

You guys oppose everything Trump does. Think he’s Hitler. Think he’s absolutely terrible for the country. You think he’s incapable of doing anything correctly.

Why would you want him in charge of any aspect of educating our kids when you hate him that much?

You think he’s going to effectively run the DOE the next 4 years? Why would you want him to stay in control?

 

[Bill Cosby]

It’s quite possible, after Hitler Trump’s term Hitler Vance or a yet to be named Hitler takes over the executive branch. That could be 8-12+ straight years of Hitlers.

If I was staring down the barrel of a prolonged period of fascist dictatorship, I’d welcome the fascist dictators ceding control of certain areas of life back to the states.

There is a lot of truth in that. The lack of both parties to attempt to work together over the last 10-15 years is maddening

There is a lot to consider w/ this....job losses, financial impact on drug prices, etc. This is definitely not a black and white issue, imo.

Pretty sure the real losers here will be the fat people with relatively pretty / handsome faces who get hired to be in the drug ads.

- Brazilian alien wanted in Brazil for drug trafficking arrested in West Yarmouth.ICE Boston says 5 kilos of fentanyl, which equates to more than 2 million lethal doses, were also seized from illegal aliens during the operation.








Why does Boston have this problem:

 

[WayneDougan]

The move to end the sanctuary city stuff is to do raids of illegal immigrants in those areas until the policy changes. What I want is that anyone who gets arrested is sent to ICE. If you're an illegal immigrant you should be on thin ice as it is, so you as much jaywalk and you should be deported.
