Since Biden's mental competency is super relevant, what do you think of this?

[senseandsensibility]

WH Press pool, when trump says things like this as he did today, why don't you at least ask him what he is talking about? Or are you just stenographers basking in your beautiful "access" (and million-dollar paychecks)?

"The drug companies are very worried that they're gonna fight. And that's ok. If they fight, we'll just say 'We're not gonna let you sell any more cars into the US or wine or liquor or alcohol or something that's actually way more important to them than the drugs.'" said trump.

So...he's not gonna let the drug companies sell wine or liquor or alcohol? And wine and liquor and alcohol are way more important than drugs?

Got it.

1. That's why this regime doesn't want transcripts of TSF.

2. Yup

The press needs to be calling this out daily as you know they would be doing with Biden.

3. I believe the "they" are the other countries that are going to have to pay more for their drugs...

...when the U.S. forces the pharmaceutical companies to raise their prices to make up for lower prices in the U.S. He is saying that he will use tariffs on the products they produce--which are probably in fact way more important to them than drug prices--to make them go along with it.

He says plenty of crazy things that need to be pointed out, but when we take quotes that actually makes sense in context and scream incompetence we actually hurt our cause IMO.

5. Pharmaceuticals charge more in the US ..

Because They Can.
Not because it's expensive to make the drugs. Or it's expensive developing the drugs while using Grad students and facilities at universities to defray costs of research.
These drugs are "so expensive" they're actually giving away coupons and "assistance" to almost 60% of patients taking those drugs, while only charging insurance companies half of what they claim the drug costs.
Actually, keeping lawyers on retainer, making the commercials and buying Ad time costs more than making the drugs.
If they charged a fair mark-up and weren't concerned about constant quarterly growth in returns, they'd still make enough money to make shareholders and the C-suite happy. And be able to continue research.
It's pretty much greed and end stage Capitalism. Need to be nice to those investors, or your nice little pharmacy might run into a bit of trouble....

4. Drugs are more important than drugs.

Got it!

6. They can go ahead and jot down the reply

"You're so stupid. That's a horrible question and you're an embarrassment as a reporter. You deserve to be fired. If I were your boss, I would look at you and tell you, 'You're fired.' You've heard me say that right? Of course, you have. I had the top-rated TV show in the world and that's what I told people every week. 'You're fired.' That was my trademark for when I had no-good, bad people like you trying to work for me. I dreamed up that saying, 'You're fired.' No ever said it before me, or if they said it, it wasn't as good as me. 'You're fired.' All these people came to me, big, strong people, famous people, people who thought they had what it took. They would look at me with tears in their eyes and beg, 'Sir, sir, please sir, just give me a job. You're so smart and so successful that I know I can learn from you.' But not many of them had what it took. That's when I would look at them and tell them, 'You're fired.' Because they were bums just like you are. Just like Sleepy Joe Biden was. He was just, just the most horrible, no-good president ever, just the worst. Him and Ka-mah-la. They ruined this country, just ruined it. Now he's just, just falling asleep in his pudding with that disease his wife probably gave him. She's a doctor. She probably brought it home from the hospital and gave it to him so no one could find out about all their crimes after we just whipped him in the election. We embarrassed him so bad. We won every single swing state. Every single one. I had lots of, uh, smart, uh, you know, like college teacher guys and experts tell me, 'Sir, sir, we never saw such a complete beatdown like you gave Biden. You're a genius like I've never seen.' So many of them said they thought I was smart enough to do their jobs, any job really, any job in the world. I would be up there with the best."

7. He's a chatbot. Perished in PA. Musk wired up Robotrump.

And Putin is pushing the buttons.

Whatever causes the US the most harm is what he orders.

It's planned.

8. Chatbots are smarter, unless you go back 10 or 15 years.....

[usonian]

9. The article said: he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT.

Those were pretty crappy, IMO.

[Jack Valentino]

10. I had no experience with the earlier ChatGPT versions... but the latest version

gave me some false information a few months ago.... I knew that because I asked questions about some of my own activities...


When I pointed out the problems, it said "you are right".

Later, I said, 'it seems like you have been trained in "ego boosting",
and it said, "you caught me"! lmao

11. President Biden is now retired--- so it is NOT 'super relevant'.....

Every story about Biden now is simply "misdirection"--- !!!!


"But--- Look at THIS! Look at this!"


But don't look at Trump's extremely obvious mental demise,
because the corporation I work for has given explicit orders about that---
so DON'T LOOK at it!!!!
