Sounds like an accurate description to me...

Kinda like this idiot:

I said that a month ago and people assured me it was going to happen soon. Still waiting.



Do you wonder why????
Probably because you, I, or anyone else don't have access to the information that POTUS does. We don't discuss this issue with other world leaders nor leaders of ME countries as he does.
Thankfully, Trump doesn't depend on the emotional crying of folks on a discussion board.
Oh, also... because nobody voted for you or anyone else to be president.
We voted for Trump to do that job.
So let him do it.

There will be time enough for bitching later.

Just a random thought but with all the rage lately being put on Ozympic and Wigovy etc. why isn’t he taking anything?


Why do you care? The bigger question is why don't you post less?

little pharma.

Anytime someone begins an argument with "big" (oil/pharma/tech/etc.), "big" is used to elicit emotional reactions and responses, rather than logical or factual.

What does a prescription for Prozac cost? It's $9 at Walgreens, and $0 and H-E-B according to GoodRX. How many tens of millions is Eli Lilly seriously going to spend lobbying congress for it? They spend way more money advertising drugs on TV than they do almost anything else. And that's directed at you, not congress.


You do know there are other "anti depression " meds than Prozac, right?

So your position is that Big Pharma doesn't lobby Congress?


I checked with Grok:

quote:


PhRMA (the main trade group for big pharma) spent a record ~$38.2 million.

opensecrets.org

Top company spenders included Amgen (~$13.3M), Pfizer (~$12.9M), Roche, Eli Lilly, Merck, and Bristol-Myers Squibb (many reporting decade-highs).

opensecrets.org

The industry dominated lobbying overall, outspending every other sector. It was on pace for records early in the year (e.g., ~$227M in the first half).

readsludge.com

This lobbying focuses heavily on drug pricing, Medicare negotiations, patents/orphan drugs, regulatory issues, and responses to Trump administration policies.


Great post!!
I would call that an extreme demonstration of hypocrisy!
Here ya go Dylan bot. Massie had little supoort. No fraud and no support.

Nation wide elections will be a problem like many have said. Younger voters are struggling and all Trump can talk about it Iran. Of course maga still controls a republican primary, but the numbers are dwindling nationwide.



Don't you people get tired of dire predictions about Trump and ALWAYS being wrong???? Lol
Evidently not, because it's been going on for years. Must suck to be y'all.

As opposed to little pharma?

I think SSRIs had a more societally damaging effect: the problem isn't your parenting, and your kid's behavior isn't their fault. Fast forward 40 years, and 3 year olds are expressing gender confusion, everyone has ADHD and anxiety, gets "overstimulated" and all that associated horseshite.

Prozac started all of that.


I agree with you. Not sure about the sarcastic statement about little pharma.
You don't think the huge pharmaceutical corporations that make and sell SSRI's don't have lobbyists in DC attempting to influence Congressmen?
Or you just didn't read the article??
quote:


I don't know about "boomers", but what the Trump wing of the GOP is right now is textbook neo-con. Fact.



I don't want Iran to have a nuke and Iran deserves some pain for the decades of hell they've inflicted on others through thier sponsor of terrorists.
Label me whatever you choose, I don't give two shits what all you label loving jerk offs think and your labels don't affect my ability to see reality. GFY!

Serious question. What will they do with their freedom? Seems a lot of countries handle it like a monkey looking into a mirror.


Cuba is 90 miles from the US, surrounded by beautiful beaches. Cubans are basically a Christian people who welcome a chnage.
There will be massive US investment into Cuba.
The countries you refer to are located in the middle of deserts and a hostile death cult type religion that hate Americans. In fact many call the US, the great satan.

Comparing apples to oranges.

He’ll talk about literally anything anywhere else in the world besides talking about rising inflation, declining living standards, and crippling gas prices here at home. And yes, I do have Trump Disappointment Syndrome.



I guess you were happier with 9.1% inflation!! Lol
Inflation ticked up .3 due to increased fuel cost. Imagine what fuel cost would be if Iran had a nuke.

There was a Time cover story on SSRIs a while back. Summarized all the science showing SSRIs do not work but have guaranteed horrible side effects.


Big Pharma lobbyist working hard and spending dollars to keep this off the radar...

Youre the problem


How so?

That guy ranting about national issues dressed like a moron at a city council meeting is ridiculous.

Same scenario but a liberal cause and we all we be blasting him about wasting city council time and not understanding how government works


"How so?"

If you have to ask, you'll never understand.
Your either a complete idiot, a bot, or a paid schill.
Wow!! We need more of this! Every single word he said is accurate.
Folks may not like it, but that doesn't change the facts!
quote:

That article is poorly written with parsed quotes, assumptions, and no actual scientific data. But if it fits your narrative….


I think thats exactly what the article is stating, the lack of scientific data surrounding SSRI's.
It's not MY narrative.
The portion below that states "the FDA doesn't have a clue how any of th SSRI's work" is mind boggling.....

quote:


Republished with permission from AbleChild
In light of the recent mental health summit in which the Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, announced initiatives to reduce overprescribing of psychiatric drugs, AbleChild couldn’t resist a second look at the 2025 letter to the HHS Secretary from 26 Members of Congress “demanding” Kennedy rescind several statements about mental health.

quote:


Of course, these are just a few of the numerous mass shootings that have occurred while the perpetrators were taking the very “medications” the Congressmen and women are so eager to protect. But it actually is more than that. AbleChild would suggest that these Members of Congress should consider what is known and not known about the psychiatric “medications” they so desperately want to protect.

For instance, the Members of Congress may find it interesting that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not have a clue how exactly any of the prescribed psychiatric drugs “work” as “treatment” for any psychiatric diagnosis.

Further, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) uses the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, which was created by literally voting by a show of hands for each of the diagnoses in the book. There is no science to support any abnormality in the brain that is any psychiatric diagnosis. Worse, the long reporter “chemical imbalance” was thoroughly debunked in 2022 by Dr. Joanna Moncrieff who made it clear in her peer-reviewed study that the “chemical imbalance, “specifically low serotonin, is a myth not supported by scientific evidence.”


quote:


Even the former head of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Thomas Insel, had the integrity to admit that he had spent 13 years at NIMH “really pushing on the neuroscience and genetics of mental disorders…and I don’t think we moved the needle in reducing suicide, reducing hospitalizations, improving recovery for the tens of millions of people who have mental illness.” Yes, Insel spent an admitted $20 billion that Congress appropriated and got nothing in return except, according to Insel “lots of really cool papers published by cool scientists at fairly large costs.”

Now let’s consider the nuts and bolts of the psychiatric drug “medications,” antidepressants, that Congress is so emotionally attached and how the HHS Secretary’s concerns about violence associated with the “treatments” is worthy of serious consideration.

Let’s review the possible side effects associated with Prozac, the first SSRI antidepressant. Anxiety, confusion, difficulty with concentration, mood or behavior changes, amnesia, hyperkinesia, sensory disturbances, depression, dyskinesia, memory impairment, abnormal dreams, agitation, emotional lability, hostility, hypomania, mania, personality disorder, thinking abnormal, depersonalization, paranoid reaction, aggression, suicidal thoughts, and behavior and suicide attempt to name a few.

In fact, all of the SSRI antidepressants carry similar possible adverse events and the FDA black box warning for suicidality. This is the most serious warning the FDA produces before pulling drugs from the market. Certainly, these lawmakers must be aware that with the increase in prescribing antidepressants comes an increase in suicides among the nation’s youth. And let’s not be confused about suicide as it is very much a violent act.

You can hate MTG but there are consequences for alienating Massie supporters



Same folks that supported DeSantis....
The only consequences are in simple, shallow minded folkslike urself!
Stop being a sore loser....
When I first posted some Promethean Action's podcast here, some folks ridiculed it. But these folks are on point!
Things they talked about a year ago are coming to pass. Obviously, they aren't in communication with Trump or Scott Bessent, but the issues Promethean Actions have been speaking about are exactly what Team Trump is attacking.
Laugh if you want SLP, but these folks are onto something.
If ur not familiar with them, take 10 minutes to watch the video below....





quote:


Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “No Money for Terror” message at the G7 is framed as sanctions on Iran, but Susan argues the real warning is aimed at allied “excuses” enabling terror financing through shell companies in Europe, shadow banking in the Middle East, and cartel networks. Reviewing recent OFAC designations, Susan Kokinda highlights multiple entities with London-linked addresses and UK jurisdictions, presenting them as evidence pointing to the City of London’s financial role. She then cites the White House’s new counterterrorism strategy naming the Muslim Brotherhood as the root of modern jihadi groups, and claims British intelligence historically built and used Brotherhood networks, citing Robert Dreyfuss and Mark Curtis and noting UK Foreign Office secrecy over recent contacts. Finally, she connects “no room for excuses” to intensified action against cartels, citing recent extraditions, indictments, and Mexico cooperation as part of a broader war on “Dope Incorporated.”

I've not spoken to a single conservative in-person that doesn't view this Iran thing as a total disaster.


You obviously are speaking to folks that are dumb... almost as dumb as the rest of ur post!
You have no idea of what the reality was or is in Iran, other than what MSM tells you. If you voted for Trump, stfu and stand by ur vote!
None of us are informed enough to really understand what's going on. We argue about tid bits of information that we are ALLOWED to see and hear.

Or maybe next time, vote for Kamala...
