Prescription drug prices are about to crash like they were China's economy.

He directly called out big pharma for the BS too. Setting it at the lowest price set in any country will risk massive legal issues if they fuck about too. Countries can just choose to ignore patents and allow generics straight away.

Hear that @Catch The Rainbow? You don't have to be worried about Qatar buying influence with their jet gift.

A gift to the president of the United States is not a campaign contribution. It's also not reassuring that his point man in the middle east has heavy real estate investments in qatar

I can't wait to see the judge who tries to strike down this one.

It's a gift to the Air Force and the National Archives and Records Administration, not Trump.

But it's going straight to his Presidential Library right after his term. My point stands, still not a campaign contribution

Personally I like the idea of just treating paid pornography as what it is, prostitution. If some people with weird fetishes want to still record themselves and trade it fine but if money exchanges hands for it treat it as a sex crime. That right there would dry up most of the porn market.

What's hilarious is that throughout the "golden age" of porn from the 70s to early 80s, it was literally treated as such by authorities. Plenty of interviews with golden age porn stars talk about the endless harassment by police. How many times sets were raided, or they spent nights in jail, or were dragged into court cases. How set locations were kept secret, many only finding out hours before shooting where they were actually filming. They would book spaces and abandon them at the last minute. It started to become common to film at private spaces instead of sets, and much further away. LA porn films went from being shot in warehouses and sound stages to instead being filmed at a friend's apartment in San Francisco hours away. All to stay ahead of police and detectives who were constantly trying to bust porn film sets for prostitution.

Meanwhile back then it was a lot less like prostitution and more like an actual film when you had film costs, equipment rentals, development costs, editing costs, sound costs, costumes, a script, a soundtrack written by a dedicated composer (some porn music actually broke into mainstream and won awards), crew costs, etc.

Nowadays over half the porn on pornhub is some dude paying a "porn chick" to come over his house and do nothing but give him a blowjob while he films it with a gopro stuck to his forehead, which literally is prostitution but with a digital camera involved and police have never been more disinterested. Strange times.

So between the China Trade Deal and this just how much craziness are we looking at the market Monday morning?

And when I say "radical," I don't mean politically. I mean that there's a class of people like Boasberg who have no idea how equity jurisprudence works. He believes he is God—he can speak a word and the results come into existence. But equity (injunctions) only works if you can actually enforce your rulings. Boasberg believes that if he said "let there be light" from the bench, then light would come into existence.

Hold on there gentlemen.

Judging by this, there appears to be a self-proclaimed divine force who Trump has forgotten to ask.

(I seem to remember this Boasberg faggot literally went on about his powers like he was in an anime.)

you cannot expect everyone to do that.

I expect every parent to raise their kids not to be niggers. Expectations are the entire point of society. We already have laws about parents not meeting social expectations of raising their children, and though they may not be uniformly enforced they do exist and do show that the neglect shown towards the internet should be considered the same level of unacceptable as uncaringly leaving your child in a hot car.

Who will Israel turn to now? Will they turn to the Caliphs of Europe while praying for a White prime minister? Will they turn to China and subsequently recognize one of their designs in a act of karma? Will they turn to India and convince them that instead of bombing Pakis they should really bomb Palestinians then save the total paki death for later?

In all seriousness, Israel had been pushing this special friendship to the brink. Irregardless of incidents from the past to what they done now that you could prove, Trump is on a revenge tour. By allegedly having Mike Waltz leak the chats and definitely hacking the Signal app they use, it made Trump really feel slighted one might say. That's not even getting to how antisemitic the Zoomers on the left and right are getting.

What might happen is Trump will offer a token show of support or a few things already signed but making new deals will be off the table for the longest time. But if they decide to do anything drastic that special relationship will be gone.

That was the first place I went after I heard the news, Reddit in general is really ass blasted by this.

 

[mandatorylurk]

It’s going to be interesting if as Israel is pushed aside and some aides are fired, leaking goes down instead of up. We are well beyond Trump trying to be on any leash and this is a new thing to the special interests here and the world.

>"This is Communism!"
Helping protect the taxpayer from this medical shakedown is what politicians are supposed to be doing.
Did Big Pharma really think the public is going to be against this anti-corruption campaign?

I really hope Trump continues destroying this middleman-economy that's only extracting our wealth.

I haven’t read the announcement yet, just plopped back in the thread, but I’m excited to find out.

Can't wait to see how TDS niggerfaggots spin this as anything short of an absolute bipartisan win

Years of complaining about the pharmaceutical companies and their drug prices but suddenly it's okay because Trump wants to change it, like clockwork.
