StrangeSox Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Almost every state is investigating pharma companies over the opiod crisis. The allegations are that they deliberate misled doctors and patients on the strength and the addictive nature of the drugs. The crisis has mainly been driven by people going to doctors with legitimate pain medication and then it spiraling out of control from there.

I cannot stand when religion is involved in government. I am for less government in 95% of cases but when it comes to needles and birth control my utopia is a world where you can walk to your local government building and get as many of each as you want for free. Yeah, drug policy and birth control are two of my major, major pet peeves because all non-Bible based evidence supports greater access to clean needles and birth control being a net positive for society. Jeff Sessions strenuously disagrees with both of those statements, sadly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seemed to be saying that you don't like the private prison lobby's influence on government policy, so this was just calling your attention to an example of it. edit: I do not like Donald John Trump no sir Edited October 26, 2017 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Trump still hasn't implemented the Russian sanctions bill he was essentially forced to sign earlier this year, and now Tillerson has eliminated the sanctions office at State. http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/26/state-...nctions-office/ They're doing enormous amounts of damage to the US's diplomatic power both through tearing up every international agreement Trump decides he doesn't like and through dismantling the State Department. The US is going to have significantly reduced soft power going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's commonly agreed Trump's campaign had nothing to do with colluding with Russia. Now, perhaps they should go after crooked Hillary's campaign chief's brother, you know she had to know what he was up to, even though perhaps the greatest mind of the past 10 generations had no clue what his campaign manager was up to. It's like health care being complicated. Who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in the process of buying Tribune Media, and when they do, they'll be in 72% of homes nationwide via your local news channel. WGN will be a part of this.

StrangeSox Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Apparently that's a pretty generic term. Any sort of criminal conspiracy in a federal charge is a "conspiracy against the US," i.e. "The People of the United States vs. Paul Manafort" is crimes 'against the US'. Manafort's had ties to Trump for a while, though. Even owns a condo in Trump Tower. And the other guy charged, Richard Gates, stayed on with the RNC and as part of the Trump administration.

southsider2k5 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 So at this point Trump either going to have to claim he is ignorant of everything like Hillary always claims to be, or they are going to have to claim that wasn't really a crime, even tough the AG is indicting for it.
