I said this to somebody when I heard these comments - you really don't want to mess with Haiti.

This is true, lol.

 

The other day, someone tweeted (only) half-jokingly "Witch doctors, you know what to do!".

Frankly, I've never held much faith in "Big Pharma."  They can come up with a little blue pill that will help an old fart sustain a woody in his pants, but they can't find a cure for AIDS, for cancer, for diabetes, and for a million other chronic, life-shortening diseases that are out there?

They have the cures for all the diseases you named......but what is making them more money? people being cured or people being sick? how many pills does a HIV-Positive or AIDS patient take a day? many forms of cancer have been cured but not all forms. BP loses oney then.

Yes.  Big Pharma isn't interested in curing anything.  They're interested in making money and the way to do that is to manage illnesses, not cure them.  

 

The NIH, CDC and to some extent, Walter Reed will the be driving forces behind curing folks.

 

Despite Trump's constant effort to force the idea of any government shutdown being the Democrats' fault, this poll seems to suggest otherwise.

Trump's "shithole" meeting was even more racist than originally described, as Trump mocked importance of the Congressional Black Caucus. https://t.co/ObXFBRYFK3

As I attempted to ask questions in Roosevelt Room of Trump, WH press aides shouted in my face to drown out my questions. I have never encountered that before.

What proof do you have of this? You really think "they" have the cure for cancer and have managed to hide it?  We all have the right to believe what we want I guess, but that sounds like conspiracy theory to me.  Especially since American big pharma is not the only one doing research into these diseases.

How about all the vaccines disease and the diseases that have already been cured?  There is more money in managing every illness we have a vaccine for.  Just like vaccines big pharma would make a mint of the cure for cancer. Not that cancer is one disease anyway.

True. glad you understand this...even though some don't.

Apparently Steve Bannon was giving testimony before the House Judiciary Committee for at least 11 hours today.  Wonder what was said during that session?

Good news for the people of Wisconsin - a Democrat flipped a state senate seat that went 55% for Trump in the last election, one that the talking heads said they wouldn't be able to win.

This is scary. That in the wrong hands, a set nuclear policy can be re-written to be much more aggressive with a lower set of criteria for an attack.

 

“Almost everything about this radical new policy will blur the line between nuclear and conventional,...will make nuclear war a lot more likely.”
