Stupid Commiefornia at it again? Who cares what Trump's tax returns look like you friggen' idiots!


New: Gov. Gavin Newsom just signed a law that would disqualify President Trump for California’s primary ballot next year unless Trump releases his tax returns. Expect a big, ugly court fight.

Note that in their disappointment over the Mueller Report, the latest tactic of the left is to convince everyone Trump is a racist, making racist remarks, which are defined as having any disagreement with a black person.

He should agree and give them his 2018 tax returns showing zero income working as POTUS.

Tony.

It doesn't really matter on the Primary--it is almost a sure thing that President Trump will be the Republican candidate for the General Election, and California cannot (by federal law) exclude a major candidate from its ballots (unless they pass a law that selects its Electors in some way other than by election--then it would not have any of the Presidential candidates on its ballots).

IANAL, but this is how I understand it.

President Trump is going to win with or without fucking California who care. Fuck them

This ad, by the Trump Team, is supposed to run in tonight's debate. I won't be watching to find out.

^^^^^ That is an excellent commercial.

I watched the debates, but left immediately during commercial breaks, so unfortunately I did not see it.

Did anyone see it?

Trump says 'The Witch Hunt Ends' after judge dismisses DNC lawsuit
BY BRETT SAMUELS 07/30/19 07:39 PM EDT

The Hill > https://thehill.com/homenews/administration
==================
"
President Trump on Tuesday celebrated a federal judge's decision to dismiss a lawsuit from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) related to alleged interference in the 2016 campaign, calling it a "vindication & exoneration" and declaring "The Witch Hunt Ends!"

Trump praised Judge John Koeltl, a Clinton appointee, who ruled that the Trump officials named in the lawsuit were shielded from the allegations under the First Amendment, and that Russia could not be sued in the courts for the election interference.

"Wow! A federal Judge in the Southern District of N.Y. completely dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Democratic National Committee against our historic 2016 campaign for President," Trump tweeted, calling it "yet another total & complete vindication & exoneration from the Russian, WikiLeaks and every other form of HOAX perpetrated by the DNC, Radical Democrats and others."

"This is really big 'stuff' especially coming from a highly respected judge who was appointed by President Clinton," Trump added. "The Witch Hunt Ends!"
============================
I very sincerely hope he is right about this, but I am not holding my breath......

time to go on the offensive

playing nice is over

Well, perhaps the hunting of the witch with the Russian accent ends.

However, no President deserves impeachment more than Trump because....reasons!

“WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Wednesday it will create a pathway allowing Americans to legally and safely import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada for the first time, reversing years of opposition from federal health authorities amid a public outcry over high prices for life-sustaining medications.

The move is a step toward fulfilling a 2016 campaign promise by President Donald Trump, and it weakens an import ban that stood as a symbol of the political clout of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s unclear how soon consumers will see benefits, as the plan has to go through time-consuming regulatory approval and later could face court challenges from drugmakers…”

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Development of a new pharmaceutical is very expensive, due in part to the long testing process required by the FDA before a drug can be released. The places that sell drugs cheaper than the US are in reality not helping to pay for that cost--all the development costs are being bourne here. The US is subsidizing drug sales everywhere else. Allowing more US purchases at those lower prices could seriously impact the ability of drug companies to continue developing new drugs.

Please elaborate. I think we deserve knowing what reasons you think you have.

From what I’ve seen from Strambo, I’d guess that is a very sarcastic expression of what we can expect from the filthy GDCs, *not* his personal opinion.

My first thought on reading the article was “Okay, but we really don’t need this. Just make it illegal for the drug companies to sell their products in other countries at lower prices than they do here. Penalties to include astronomical fines.”

To maintain the same margins, the prices will have to rise elsewhere and drop here. Think about it from President Trump’s point of view of putting America and Americans first: Why should Americans be subsiding the cost of prescription drugs for the rest of the world? That makes no sense.

Doing away with an import ban allows consumers to jump through hoops to get closer to the lower price that people in other countries pay. Only closer though as you have additional shipping and likely additional middlemen, all of whom must feed their kids. And not everyone will be sophisticated enough or able to shop internationally.

And now the Left is really ratcheting up their game of racist hold-em. It's as if their whole playing deck is made up of "that's racist" cards -

https://www.mysanantonio.com/n...appeals-14251015.php

This is from a San Antonio newspaper but it's an Associated Press article and has been printed in most every paper. Not even a hint that it's an editorial or opinion piece, just passing it off as if its real journalism.

I know by now I/we shouldn't be surprised at the lengths the Left will go to smear anyone - especially Donald Trump - who doesn't agree with them, but this one took me off guard with its ridiculousness in trying to tie Donald Trump to George Wallace. That canyon is so wide that even Evel Knievel couldn't jump it with an ICBM, yet the Dems are using pajama boy to throw it like a ball of string thinking it will land on the other side.

Yes, that was sarcasm.

I can't wait, I bought 6 10ml bottles of my son's insulin in Canada for ~$180, I asked at Walgreens the other day and it would be $2100

I thought that selling overseas at lower costs than domestically was defined as 'dumping' and fell afoul of international trade rules. Never understood how pharmaceuticals dodged that.

You hit the nail right on the head.

I spoke to a friend I've known since high school who is a data scientist at a pharmaceutical company and we've had these discussions before about why Americans get screwed in the ass on drug prices while the rest of the world pays cheap prices and laughs at us.

He basically said it sucks but we Americans are the only ones funding R&D for new drugs and this may have the unintended effect of limiting the numbers of new drugs developed in the future.

There has got to be a way to make this more fair as it's ludicrous that Paul in Philadelphia has to pay $10 a pill for Drug XYZ while Pierre in Paris only has to pay $0.10 for the very same thing.
