Amateur Hour Continues

It sounds like she's been through rough times and I'm glad she's doing better.

Her comments regarding Trump's involvement are way over the top, though.

Probably so, but she is obviously grateful for getting that law changed and she credits Trump for doing it. I can't blame her for that after all she has been through.

I hope she has a long and happy life, same for you too, Velo.

I didn't know where else to put this, but imagine what ranked-choice voting could do for America? Also, interesting that you could interpret this to mean that conservatives despise D's more than liberals despise R's.

I personally am a big fan of the concept of ranked choice vote

Thanks. I didn't really follow that bill--seems pretty common-sensical to me to allow patients with untreatable diseases to try experimental treatments.

What interest groups oppose it? Big Pharma?

But bioethicists and patients groups told Bloomberg Law they are still concerned the bill cuts the FDA out of any role in making decisions about access to experimental drugs, which could put patients at risk.

Cutting the FDA out of the process “is bad for patients because they won’t benefit from the FDA’s knowledge,” Steve Joffe, a pediatric oncologist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, told Bloomberg Law in a March 12 email. “In addition, it’s a terrible precedent because it establishes the principle that drugs don’t need to establish safety and efficacy before being administered to patients.”

The bioethicists and patient groups also said the bill would shield drug companies from liability if patients are harmed. But they did praise a provision that would require public reporting of any adverse events experienced by patients.

Wasn't it a ranked choice vote that left the greatest quarterback that's ever played the game in second place to a defensive back from the north? I cannot support that concept do this egregious snub.

I'm still thinking old school imperialism. Time to invade Canada, then onto Mexico and Central America.

You know what is a pretty good natural border? being surrounded by oceans.

Bloomberg - Opposition to Experimental Drug Bill Unchanged Ahead of Vote

Upon further review, it seems the wisdom of this rests heavily on the patient getting sound medical advice, which is not the case with some doctors.

We’ve gotten our asses beat by Canada one too many times.

Well then it's time for revenge.

The video is at the link. It's actually worse than the quote. She bashes the medical community, then thanks Trump for saving her.

Now, the change in law allowed her to receive treatment in the US (although she could have gone to another country for experimental ones before), but it was the medical community that she bashes which "cured" her.

Venezuela amirite?

Eh?

“We had a deal with [China], and it was very close, we were just finishing it, and you know my whole life is deals. I know when we have them and when we don’t—like with Mexico, we made a deal with Mexico…they know what we have, and if we don’t have intellectual property, theft protections, the opening of China…if we don’t have the opening of China, if we don’t have the things we negotiated, maybe even more than that…and right now, look, we’re getting 25% on $250 billion worth of goods, nobody ever heard of such a thing, it’s massive amount of money. Don’t play, don’t let anyone tell you that China’s not paying for it, China’s paying for it…and we’re not paying for any of it.” (Fact check: false.)

He continued: “Since tariffs have been on, the market has been going through the roof if you know what I’m talking about…Now you have another $325 billion I haven’t taxed yet. IT’S. RIPE. FOR. TAXING. For putting tariffs on…. It‘s been an incredible thing. Am I happy now? Absolutely…. When you say, ‘Are we going to make a deal?’ It’s possible we’re going to make a deal, but I’m also very happy where we are now, we’re taking in a fortune…. There’s no way you can beat the tariffs, there‘s no way you can make that money…[the tariffs] help us in ways that nobody even wants to talk about, that I don’t want to talk about them.”

So are you doubting CNN's report of a direct quote?

I'm doubting CNN if they tell me the grass is green.

Nope. Who wants to talk with CNN other then people like E. Jean Carroll?

Well, that explains a lot. And you'd probably trust Hannity if he told you 2+2=5.

 

[37L1]

After the way CNN has interacted with Trump, they are lucky he talks to them at all.

Don't believe your lying eyes.

He'll never shun major media--he loves the attention.

Don't believe your lying eyes.

Not only is it none of our business, but it would be very bad if we knew what Putin was ordering him to do next.

 

[Velo Vol]

Oh, to be a fly on that wall. But it's all good as long as Trump doesn't use the F-word--flexibility.

 

[37L1]

Maybe he can get out that old "reset button."
