Yeah, those Senators can't hide their allegiance to big pharma. Pocahontus was even screeching about the fact that they could be sued. Theres some R's that are on the take as well, like Graham and Tillis.

yea, absolutely not limited to D's in this case

but its pretty blatant when you are arguing against the health of the American people

"I would love for Trump to do away with the IRS and the federal income tax"

Well you and everyone else. But we also want good roads and clean water and safe food and high wages and low cost goods & services and low inflation and zero interest loans. Nobody ever said Americans were reasonable...

Everybody hates big pharma until they need some penicillin, or any of a thousand other drugs without which many peoples' quality of life if not life itself would be extremely compromised. Look, I'm all for a healthy lifestyle and in many cases that's enough to stave off serious illnesses and conditions. And I also have some sympathy with the idea that if you smoke and drink excessively and don't exercise at all and eat a shitty diet, you are largely responsible for your own problems and why should society have to bear the cost of your bad habits and decisions. But short of just letting people die in the street, I think big pharma has been a net positive for society and it's not even close...

Nah, we live too long

I don't hate pharmaceutical companies. They give us lifesaving drugs and spend hundreds of millions on R&D to make new ones for the entire world. That said, if RFK Jr isn't on a heroin bender and truly has evidence that these companies are colluding (in some way) to kill people, then I want to know about it.

I am heavily vaccinated. I have had 3 Covid-19 vaccine boosters. And the shingles vaccine. And MMR. And polio vaccine. All of them. I don't believe that vaccines cause autism, even that Playboy bimbo Jenny MacArthy admitted that she was diving into the depths of her 83 IQ, just babbling, and didn't know what the fuck she was talking about when she mentioned that conspiracy. But I do believe that a vaccine could have side effects. Even a medical doctor might say that. And we need to know about it.

yea I mean the guys that bribed doctors to over prescribe Oxy should totally be trusted to tell you their studies do not show bad side effects

I don't know shit about Blackburn but she basically just put Durbin and Ray on child trafficking watch

Senator Blackburn really cares about the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco. That was the single largest sex trafficking ring in all of US history. And for whatever reason, its taboo. And it shouldn't be.

I didn't see this until now. He reminds Bernie of it, and Bernie is not amused. panics may be a fair assessment

In the confirmation hearings today for Kash Patel to be FBI director, not one single democrat has asked him about the ONLY reason why Trump appointed him to lead the agency: Crossfire Hurricane. No questions on that topic from any democrats. None. And Kash's personal investigation INTO the FBI investigation of Donald Trump and Russian collusion (ie: Crossfire Hurricane) was the only reason for Trump selecting him to be director!!!

Politics, I get it. I just wish for once that the democrats would have just one bit of common decency and sincerity when it comes to these appointments. I know they are butt hurt right now, but their questions insult my intelligence. Wouldn't it be great it just one democrat admitted, yup, we fucked up, there was no Russian collusion, so lets talk about everything you did Kash and the mistakes you made in YOUR investigation. Attack him on his investigation. Don't completely ignore it.

Surprised Bernie didn't play a Katie Porter here and start screaming "reclaiming my time" the minute he mentioned the pharma money.

Hedge, I think I speak for everyone here when I ask you instead what percentage of your brain cells have been tainted by years of hard drug use and also kowtowing before the ruinous liberal agenda we’ve had since Bill Clinton. State your guess, sir.

I'm sure that's another incorrect exaggeration from you

How's the divorce coming along, Tree? Are you allowed to see your kid in an unsupervised setting yet?

I’m sure he still can’t get within 100 feet of his kid’s school…

No, 60+ 8th, 9th, and 10th grade West Palm Beach girls (all of whom addicted to drugs) selling their pussies and selling each other to Epstein for $200 a pop, and the DA of Palm Beach County hiding it all with a Grand Jury Indictment in 2006 when the step mom of one of these girls and the Chief of the Palm Beach Police gave their testimony is making the largest sex trafficking ring, taboo. When Comey's daughter prosecuted Ghislaine, she only had 4 girls take the stand and one of them is dead now (drug overdose.) Drugs make addicts do horrible things to themselves until they die. But ah, I'm pretty sure Durbin does not want anyone to find out anymore than he will allow on this. That is because this involves Bill Clinton.

So, no. Not exaggerating. Stick to what you know, counsellor.

So you're saying that's the entire pharmaceutical industry? Also, last I checked, Purdue pharma got shut down and bankrupted b/c of that. Doubt that will happen in the future once Trump drains the swamp and gets rid of all regulatory oversight. Burn it all down!!

Pharmaceutical companies own our politicians? What about banking? Big oil? Big Ag? Big tech? The list goes on. What a fucking joke, to the extent that politicians are owned, there's plenty of blame to go around. Why this obsession with "Big Pharma"? Did RFK ever take money from Big Pharma?
