Stargrunt6 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 How many Republicans on the take from Big Pharma grilled RFK?
Stargrunt6 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 7 hours ago, Skywalkre said: Trying to give that poster the benefit of the doubt, if you look at that website big pharma shifted spending back around '20 to give to Ds more than Rs at a 3:2 clip (whereas before '20 they were donating more to Rs), so I thought I'd look at donations from just this last year to committee members. Big pharma donations in '24 to Rs on the committee - $1,422,834 Big pharma donations in '24 to Ds on the committee - $394,031 So... yeah... that poster was completely pulling his argument out of his ass. Shock, surprise... "Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself [referring to Bernie Sanders] are accepting millions from the pharmaceutical industry." - RFK
Stargrunt6 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 8 hours ago, Skywalkre said: These numbers seemed... off... so I went and looked them up. Appears whoever put this list together is using lifetime contributions (going back to '90) and these figures match what you can find on opensecrets here. The thing is... big pharma donates to everyone... so I went and added up the total lifetime contributions of all the members on the committee yesterday to see if this post had any merit. Lifetime big pharma contributions to the Rs on the committee - $11,568,705 Lifetime big pharma contributions to the Ds on the committee - $10,007,660 That difference is larger than the difference of Rs vs Ds on the committee. Well he sure ain't given the GOP a pass. https://x.com/MidwesternDoc/status/1884824768446148701 8 hours ago, Skywalkre said: In short, the guy who wrote this X post cherry-picked lifetime figures (because they're bigger) and then made a claim that's not supported by the actual figures. Another example of why social media is garbage for good discussion...
Ivanhoe Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Quote cherry-picked lifetime figures (because they're bigger) 🤣 Lifetime figures would be bigger, pols don't normally give money back. The sum of multiple years will always be bigger. Duh. How does one cherry-pick a cumulative total?
Ivanhoe Posted January 31 Posted January 31 https://www.westernjournal.com/ex-obama-adviser-jailed-pedophile-took-stuffed-animals-condoms-meet-little-girl-9/ Quote A former adviser in the Obama administration has been jailed after being found guilty of traveling to Great Britain to have sex with a 9-year-old girl. Rahamim Shy, 47, of New Jersey was a senior adviser on Pakistan and Afghanistan in the State Department during the administration of former President Barack Obama in the days when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, according to C-Span. The international investment banker visited England’s Bedfordshire in February 2024 after weeks of communicating with an undercover police officer posing as “Debbie,” who was the grandmother of a girl Shy sought to have sex with, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail. The US State Dept. seems to be increasingly worse for wear.
Murph Posted January 31 Posted January 31 It is what you get with an entrenched Democrat Bureaucracy, and people who fought Trump on the first term to keep such scum in place. Now perhaps there will be a severe and large removal of left wing cookie pushers.

Murph Posted January 31 Posted January 31 The only place you can repeatedly fail, do poorly, cause destruction AND STILL GET PROMOTED is on the Left, because failure is a resume enhancer if your spoken platitudes are correct.
seahawk Posted January 31 Posted January 31 If you are stupid and indoctrinated you obey - that is all what matters to the left.

Oh there's other areas you can find peculation and the like. Though I guess the Dixie Mafia would tend to also be on the left being traditionally democrats.
Murph Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Shocker, someone spying for China. Must not have given Biden the kickback. BREAKING: DOJ has indicted John Harold Rogers, a former Federal Reserve Senior Adviser, for leaking U.S. trade secrets to China.

Sinistar Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) the aclu used to take either a neutral or libertarian stance on the freedom of speech that is to say they would defend the freedom of speech on either side of the divide much to the chagrin of both the left and the right depending on where it landed a couple years ago an internal memo circulated which called into question that approach and started taking freedom of speech only to mean what is construed as aligning with modern progressive ideas - open borders, migrant's rights, trans rights, women's rights has priority in any debate; any other type of free speech which criticizes these ideas is all but considered invalid or hate speech where freedom of speech comes into conflict what the aclu outlined as its priorities likewise the southern poverty law center has the clout for some reason to designate any group it sees fit as a hate group and we know what that means and what sorts of groups do not appear on their watch list so this is the problem of multiculturalism which is actually the deliberate attempt to fracture and replace the dominant culture like the kind that soros seems to be all about in the plan for both the united states and europe this was all called 'conspiracy laden mumbo jumbo' even though it is all happening right in plain sight in the public discourse which of course he openly promoted before and his open borders and changing the demographics as an obvious policy goal- not as a healthy and natural occurrence but something his administration would go out of its way to engineer and place the status quo into conflict Edited February 2 by Sinistar
Sinistar Posted February 1 Posted February 1 the ideas in this piece are not new- soros had been active in this scheme since the 1990s to change western society it is just that it was no longer a plan once it was put into effect when governments, NGOs, religious charities and in particular catholic groups, legal clinics and pro bono groups began doing all of this on purppse https://www.heritage.org/homeland-security/heritage-explains/who-helping-biden-facilitate-americas-border-crisis of course that is a conservative angle and we should review sources of information of all sides but in this particular case it is too obvious in the american discourse you see it everywhere so that is not merely a conspiracy by fringe white supremacists on the right but something we saw developing over the decades finally actualized in the most blatant way imaginable with the previous administration it is just a wonder to some of us why europe just goes along with this at well seemingly not understanding what kinds of individuals and groups in the united states had that in mind for europe as well

Naturally, Tucker has selective memory about the UN mandates 1160, 1199, 1203, 1239, and 1244 about Yugoslavia and Kosovo, and Morgan is too ill-prepared to bring them up.
Sinistar Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) the un essentially wanted the clinton administration and nato to intervene- which does not disprove what tucker carlson claimed and proves what piers morgan said piers says literally that nato is a defensive organization and only operated in self defense tucker says those were not defensive moves- which they were not no nato state was under attack or threatened with attack the un otherwise powerless wanted the resources of the unted states and nato to intervene no nato state however was at risk of anything but rather this was an offensive policy goal which was the point tucker made this is also the very kind of thing george soros was outlining earlier in his plans for a new world globalist order Edited February 2 by Sinistar
