Trump says in order to "RESHORE Generic pharmaceutical Production into America," Generic pharmaceutical companies will have a 2 year zero tariff period, Aug 2026-2028, after which the tariff will be raised to 100% for one year and then 200% for every year after that.
But will Trump put the coke back in the coca cola?

I really dont feel this will be enough to get them to reshore. It will likely just raise prices a little bit. Generics are much cheaper and the vast majority who get their insurance through work will suffer the price increase which is annoying. If Trump wants to get onshoring to happen he needs to make it completely unfeasable to offshore. If its 1% more profitable for the corp, they will chase that 1%. Its not like random joe with 190 bp can just not buy his blood pressure meds.
 
Trump appointed a bunch of new people today. Of note: D. Adam Candeub to be an Assistant Attorney General who doesn't know if he was born in 1967 or 1968;

Nick Checker a literal glow in the dark CIA military analyst to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Republic of Rwanda (expect something to pop off there soon);

Joshua Harris who looks like someone drew a face on a thumb to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Malaysia (no seriously what is going on with this dude's head?);

Gretchen C. F. Shappert formerly United States Attorney for the District of the Virgin Islands to the United States Attorney for the District of the Northern Mariana Islands (how tf this bish keep getting appointed District Attorney of all these island paradises and still look like she's about to call you "smoothskin," and thank you for letting her into Tenpenny Tower);

Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX26) does a thing many many MANY anti-woke and anti-tumblr types have done over the years, this time to a boomer bitch during a congressional hearing regarding the Smithsonian's "white supremacist culture" materials. She of course has the same response they always have. "I don't know anything about that, I'd have to look at it myself at another time. I couldn't possibly comment on it here."
My only regret was that Mr. Gill didn't have a projection screen to prominently display it on, like the politician(s) who took A. Caraballo to task over xeets calling people to harass SCOTUS judges over the decision to undo Roe V. Wade. That would have made this clip even more epic.

It is always satisfying to watch the words these idiots use constantly be turned on them, but this type of clip won't turn any committed lefties because they have no real principles or integrity. I would guarantee that this woman feels absolutely no shame or embarrassment about her fumbling non answer, because she already knows that her people won't hold any of it to her, they will circle the wagons around her and pretend Brandon was just being a meanie meanie MAGAhead.
It's true it likely won't change the minds of those who embrace this sort of DEI/educational material. I'd even say the Smithsonian lady feels browbeaten over this. However, the average citizen who has no clue this is going deserves to see what's being exhibited and that activist types unironically believe the lunacy that politeness is a form of white supremacy.

The thing that never happens has happened.
In response to this and other announcements of people being registered to vote that shouldn't, or casting ballots when they shouldn't, all the die-hard liberals I know are posting the same "But it's only 0.00000000001% of the vote, so why are we worrying about this?!" retort. As someone else already posted, the number should be as close to zero as possible.

What's funny (infuriating) to me is that they were "accidentally" registered to vote, then somehow ended up with a party affiliation. They knew exactly what the hell they were doing. You don't click "No, I don't want to register to vote" and then "Buuut....I'll sign up for campaign fundraiser slop!"

Since this instance of fraud went far enough to include party declarations (which I'm shocked the tranny NJ gov even revealed) I honestly wonder what the "distribution" of party affiliations was.
My speculation is that NJ is a state that gives illegal aliens drivers licenses if they apply and their names got added to the voter database as part of the motor voter laws. It wouldn't surprise me if there's little if any quality control over the import process. How party affiliations were assigned is also a question mark for me. 🤷‍♂️

The national news story I heard tonight claimed the individuals in question had Republican, Democrat, or even no party assigned to their voting records without any distribution. As interesting it would be to see, those who allowed these records to be added probably don't want the public to see it. So I expect it to be memory holed or hand-waved as insignificant.
 
Troy Jackson's astrology chart makes me suspect that anger issues from the past and sex pest issues from the past will come back to haunt him. He has Mars conjunct Venus conjunct Sun in Cancer, which is a bit of a "sex pest...in a motherly, possibly pedo kind of way" indicator in a chart. He also has transiting Saturn in Aries conjunct his North Node right now (the same thing will happen to Gavin Newsom in the 2028 primaries which is why I suspect Newsom to be the 2028 nominee). When Saturn starts retrograding just days from now, and will continue to retrograde in the coming months, repercussions of undisciplined Aries actions from the past may come to haunt Troy Jackson and he may end up being Graham Platner 2.0 and the establishment Dems will try touting this as an example of why progressives shouldn't be candidates in competitive races

Neptune will also be conjunct his Chiron the entire cycle so he's going to go through a lot of emotional AND delusional pain. His best case scenario is he somehow uses that pain to tap into a kind of pathos and rage that resonates with Maine voters, though he seems to be a bit too goofy to do so based on the vibe I've seen in speeches.

if major anger issues and possible sexual scandals haunt him, it was apparent in his chart. What will be interesting if pedo type scandals haunt him because Mars-Venus-Sun all packed together in Cancer is an ominous signal for that kind of thing
Is this like Stalin where you have a schtick, or are you actually doing to horoscopes with any kind of expertise?

A lot of people on 4chan have told me my astrology readings of their charts were accurate. There are also people here on Kiwifarms who have told me my readings of their charts were accurate but I won't ping their usernames out of respect for their privacy

Mr. Gill looks young to be in the halls of congress. Good. We need more people like him

that's why people don't vote, because they know it won't matter much, but when they decide to do something about it it will be slaughter.

you can't simply investigate it when the error is low, you have to show overwhelming evidence of manipulation so that when the time comes they'll enter ovens on their own.
 
Voting shall be allowed after the Quincentennial Celebration of 2276. Get everyone hopped up on five centuries of America beforehand.
Good call. You have no idea how unaware the average leaf is. Its a living nightmare being one of the few to realize that having 9 different languages and thrice as many gangs is a death spiral.

They yearn for a freedom they have never known. We are a few years away from being British.

Gimmick posters get the rope.
