Trump Announces Groundbreaking Rules to Lower Prescription Drug Prices
One of the rules will force drug companies to treat the U.S. as a "most favored nation," guaranteeing Americans lowest drug prices around the globe. | Health

I'll believe it when I see it.
 
Just because -

My Pillow guy helps spring alleged killer Kyle Rittenhouse from jail

Not just him, though.

Supporters have been donating money for his bail, and a lawyer Friday said cash from former “Silver Spoons” and “NYPD Blue” actor Ricky Schroeder and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell helped spring Rittenhouse.

“KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS OUT OF JAIL.” attorney Lin Wood tweeted. “God bless ALL who donated to help #FightBack raise required $2M cash bail. Special thanks to Actor Ricky Schroder ... & Mike Lindell ... for putting us over the top.”

Behold Trump's America, where murdering BLM supporters leads to... that. To half-echo Pennyfarthing, we may as well start calling him a far right folk hero for doing so. Only half-echo, because "conservative" is a poor descriptor of the crowd that seems to be involved, by now.

Okay, I've seen this before, and it still puzzles me. Isn't "most favored nation" a part of an agreement between nations?

Does Trump think the Big Pharma companies are their own country now, or something? Does he think their sales within the US are a result of some kind of treaty they've signed with the US?

It means nothing. It skirts the fact that US consumers pay more for drugs then foreign consumers, but most favored nation status has nothing to do with why.

Just arrived at Virtual G20. Was here yesterday also (early), but some of the Fake News Media failed to report it accurately - as usual. My speech is available (they said I didn’t make a speech).

SO TRUE!

Faceless Big Tech "fact checkers" disseminate false info, put their partisan opinions on studies & posts, & call it Truth. When asked who their gatekeepers are, they name "news" outlets responsible for some of the biggest disinformation of the past 4 yrs. #OhTheIrony RT
 
...I'm a little bemused at something of an ad idea that I'm pondering about.

It would be quite interesting to have some not obviously anti-Republican PAC actually air ads urging people to write-in vote for Trump in the Georgia Senate elections, because that would be the most epic ways to troll the libs right now, in addition to showing support for the fine work that Trump's been doing.

Not entirely original, of course, but... it would be remarkably interesting to see how effective such a tactic would be.

See if you can get them to send you money into the bargain. When the jig is revealed, donate the money to something socially aware and tell them so.

Bernstein said pretty much the same later in the thread:

"With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct—including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system."

His point seems to be more that they know what he's doing is deeply wrong yet they aren't dropping him.

According to this article, the Saturday meeting started at 8:00 am, he started Tweeting about the election at 8:13 am, and left to go golfing at 10:00 am, skipping a coronavirus conference.

On Saturday morning, Trump joined an online meeting of G20 leaders at 8 a.m. ET to discuss Covid-19 and other issues of concern. How did Trump approach this vitally important conference? He began tweeting about 13 minutes into the opening session, spewing more baseless claims about voter fraud in an effort to overturn the 2020 election. And by 10 a.m. Trump departed to go play golf, skipping a special side conference that was focused on the coronavirus crisis that's exploding in many countries -- including our own.

Jeez, if he'd just spend important meetings playing video games like a normal person then at least it wouldn't be a matter of public record that he wasn't paying attention.
