    That transcript Hal posted reminds me.  Did they ever release all of Trump's tax returns?
    Not that I'm aware of... meanwhile Biden has released decades worth of tax returns, and somehow he's the guy w/ something to hide in all of this. Trumps facing ninety-one (91) criminal charges, and as far as I know, Biden is facing zero (0) but yeah... Biden's the one to worry about because a "laptop exists". 

    Weird how all that works.
    @JB16057 What are your thoughts on tax return gate? Do American'e deserve to know the TRUTH?
    What is tax return gate? and what is American'e?
    lol damn bad spelling.  Americans.  Tax return gate.  Trump not turning over his tax returns.  I have now found out that in 2022 some of Trumps returns from 2015-2020 were released against his will.  I just wonder what he is hiding that he fought so hard to keep them secret, besides a Chinese bank account?  Also what is he hiding in the years prior to 2015 that have not yet been released? 
    You're more worried about a gotcha moment than correct spelling.
    Says the guy who, yesterday, posted a clip of Ted Cruz spending 3 minutes of gotcha extraordinaire despite his whole narrative being patently false. 

    lolmaga
    Ted Cruz wasn't getting so overly excited that he was making grammatical errors. There's a big difference. 
    Sure.

    Yeah, he was just saying Ray Epps was an undercover FBI agent and completely ignored the reason (which he completely understands but won't admit publicly) the FBI cannot answer his dumb questions in a public hearing...solely for the purpose of riling up people like you, which ends up booking him an appearance on Sean Hannity's show, where he can then plug his podcast. America. Fuck yeah.


    Cruz even went on Bill Maher's show last week. Plugging that podcast the entire time.
    bill maher still has a show? who knew?

    yah, but did he make any grammatical errors when spreading those lies to trick gullible Americans? 

    That's the crux of it. 
    I'll have to see the transcripts to know for sure. 

    But today is November 21st, 2023. To me, the bigger issue is why maga's like you still believe the Ray Epps conspiracy theory. 
    Who…. Me?

    Biden executive order boosts federal funding, increases autonomy for tribal nations

    Dec. 6 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden will sign an executive order on Wednesday to reform how the government supports tribal nations in an effort to give Native Americans more control over the federal funds they receive to uplift their communities.

    The primary goal of the order is to address historical challenges faced by tribal nations in accessing federal programs, aiming to make government funds more accessible, flexible and equitable, the White House said.

    The action aims to boost tribal economies and support future generations of Native citizens by setting up policies to create more financial autonomy for Natives, as well as additional room for self-governance, with the hope of allowing tribes to take increased ownership of their needs and services.

    "The last 50 years has proven that a strong tribal nation is the most important factor in ensuring the economic, political, and cultural well-being of Native people," the White House said. "The Executive Order affirms that Tribal self-governance is about the fundamental right of a people to determine their own destiny and to prosper and flourish on their own terms."

    As part of the directive, Biden ordered federal agencies to redesign programs in alignment with tribal priorities, which would support trust and collaboration between the government and tribes as Biden seeks to streamline federal funding.

    Another provision of the order is designed to measure chronic funding shortfalls of existing federal money for tribes, with Biden directing the White House Council on Native American Affairs, the Office and Management and Budget, and the White House Domestic Policy Council to develop recommendations for what additional funding and programming is necessary, the White House said.

    Annually, federal agencies will be required to report their progress in executing Biden's order.

    The order also establishes a Tribal Access to Capital Clearinghouse that will act as a shopping center for Tribes to apply for federal funds.


    continues...

  • FU Brandon and your sniveling criminal son too. Damn dems fucking everything up. From Letter From An American:

    Today, there was more evidence that Biden’s policies are paying off for ordinary Americans. The November jobs report showed the economy added almost 200,000 more jobs in November, making the total since Biden took office more than 14 million, while the unemployment rate has stayed below 4% for 22 months in a row and wage growth is strong.

    As Harvard professor Jason Furman notes, the U.S. is now 2 million jobs and 2 million employed above the pre-pandemic projections of the Congressional Budget Office. Dan Shafer of The Recombobulation Area observed, “If these numbers were happening during a Republican presidency, the usual business community folks would be celebrating in the streets. But when there’s a D next to the president’s name, it’s tumbleweeds.” Today, on the Fox News Channel, personality Maria Bartiromo noted that “the economy is a lot stronger than anyone understands.” 

    The president also echoed the New Deal’s promotion of internal improvements today when he announced an investment of $8.2 billion in new funding for ten major passenger rail projects across the country to deliver the nation’s first high-speed rail projects. High-speed rail between California and Nevada, serving more than 11 million people annually; Los Angeles and San Francisco; and the Eastern Corridor, will create tens of thousands of union jobs, build communities, and promote climate-friendly transportation options.

    this or something like it  should have been in place long ago

    https://apnews.com/article/biden-drug-prices-patents-2024-campaign-f92da4ee89814d3ab89a909399bf4c85   The White House is threatening the patents of high-priced drugs developed with taxpayer dollars

     
    The White House is threatening the patents of high-priced drugs developed with taxpayer dollars
    By AMANDA SEITZ and ZEKE MILLER
    7 Dec 2023

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is putting pharmaceutical companies on notice, warning them that if the price of certain drugs is too high, the government might cancel their patent protection and allow rivals to make their own versions.

    Under a plan announced Thursday, the government would consider overriding the patent for high-priced drugs that have been developed with the help of taxpayer money and letting competitors make them in hopes of driving down the cost.

    In a 15-second video released to YouTube on Wednesday night, President Joe Biden promised the move would lower prices.

    “Today, we're taking a very important step toward ending price gouging so you don't have to pay more for the medicine you need,” he said.

    White House officials would not name drugs that might potentially be targeted. The government would consider seizing a patent if a drug is only available to a “narrow set of consumers,” according to the proposal that will be open to public comment for 60 days. Drugmakers are almost certain to challenge the plan in court if it is enacted.

    It's the latest health policy pitch from a White House gearing up to make its efforts to tackle drug prices a central theme in next year’s reelection campaign. With health care costs in mind, the administration also sent a warning Thursday to private equity firms that have been buying up and gutting hospitals and physician practices around the country, then selling for a profit.

    Already, Biden has spent months boasting about the $35 cap on insulin for Medicare enrollees that he signed into law last year and a plan for government officials, for the first time, to negotiate some drug prices paid by Medicare.

    Washington has never made such an aggressive move against the patents of drugs, a step called “march-in rights.” Federal agencies can do so if the federal government has invested money in the research or development of the product.

    Pharmaceutical companies have long relied on government research to develop drugs, with the most recent major breakthrough being the COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. U.S. taxpayers spent billions on the effort and were able, until recently, to access treatments and preventions for the virus without paying out-of-pocket for them.

    While only a minority of drugs on the market relied so heavily on taxpayer dollars, the threat of a government “march-in” on patents will make many pharmaceutical companies think twice, said Jing Luo, a professor of medicine at University of Pittsburgh.

    “If I was a drug company that was trying to license a product that had benefited heavily from taxpayer money, I'd be very careful about how to price that product,” Luo said. “I wouldn't want anyone to take my product away from me.”

    The pharmaceutical lobby immediately pushed back on Biden's announcement, arguing the White House's interpretation of the law is inaccurate and their plan will stifle drug research and development.

    “This would be yet another loss for American patients who rely on public-private sector collaboration to advance new treatments and cures,” said Megan Van Etten, a spokesperson for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA.

    Debate has for years swirled around how the government might employ “march-in rights," with a few Democratic lawmakers, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, lobbying the Health and Human Services Department to seize the patents of certain pricey drugs. Most recently, the National Institutes of Health refused to do so with the prostate cancer drug Xtandi.

    "Americans should not have to pay excessive prices for medications while drug companies make huge profits, especially when those medicines were developed with the help of taxpayer dollars,” Klobuchar said in a statement.

    The proposal raises a reasonable question, said William Pierce, a former HHS official during President George W. Bush's administration: “What reward should there before the taxpayer who help fund this product?”

    The White House also intends to focus more closely on private equity firms that purchase hospitals and health systems, then often whittle them down and sell quickly for a profit. The departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, and the Federal Trade Commission will work to share more data about health system ownership.

    “Everything from fertility care to primary care to nursing homes — running the gamut from cradle to grave — there's no segment in health care where we don't see private equity," said Yashaswini Singh, a health care economics professor at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island “A lot of this have gone largely unreported and undisclosed to the antitrust authorities.”

    I'm a little more optimistic today than I was a few weeks ago that that's not gonna happen. If the fed has actually successfully softly landed this thing without us ending up in a recession, that will chip away at the main thing (other than Trump grievances) maga's are wanting to run on.

    Biden pardons marijuana use nationwide. Here's what that means


    https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-pardons-marijuana-nationwide-heres-135757989.html

    WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden announced Friday he's issuing a federal pardon to every American who has used marijuana in the past, including those who were never arrested or prosecuted.

    The sweeping pardon applies to all U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in possession of marijuana for their personal use and those convicted of similar federal crimes. It also forgives pot users in the District of Columbia. It does not apply to individuals who have been jailed for selling the drug, which is illegal under federal law, or other marijuana offenses such as driving under the influence of an illegal substance.

    The implication of Biden's pardon promises to have significant implications, as criminal records for marijuana use and possession have imposed barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. However, the pardons do not apply to people who violated state law, and anyone who wants to receive proof of a pardon will have to apply through the Department of Justice.

    Biden issued a similar pardon last year and promised future reforms. This year's proclamation went further in that it forgave all instances of simple marijuana use or possession under federal law, including for individuals who have never been charged. It also expands Biden's previous directive to include minor marijuana offenses committed on federal property.

    The White House says thousands of people with federal and district convictions will be eligible for the pardons, which Biden announced three days before the Christmas holiday.

    In a statement, Biden said Americans should not be sent to prison solely for using or possessing marijuana. He urged governors to forgive state offenses.

    "Criminal records for marijuana use and possession have imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana.  It’s time that we right these wrongs," Biden said.
