Three international companies make insulin. Yet we are getting screwed.

A Scandinavian perspective of Trump’s behavior towards Denmark
I thought it might be interesting to read what Scandinavians thought of the president’s reaction to the Prime Minister of Denmark. I as born in Sweden and my roots are there going back centuries.
So why should the Danes sell Greenland?
All the reasons Thiessen gives for us buying Greenland are why Denmark should keep it.
Trump “orders” US companies…
Who the hell does this president think he is?
A bill gets past McConnell, with irony.
Apparently it is much easier to honor victims of our gun culture than it is to address solutions.
90% of Americans want better background checks, but McConnell and now the flip/flop president won’t hear of it.
NICS is hugely flawed since the database is not solid. Data is often missing, inadequate or wrong. Enforcement of purchase violations is non-existent. Red flags are ignored.
Not that Mr. Cox doesn’t deserve a memorial like this. However, I am sure he, his family, friends and co-workers would much prefer another birthday celebration.

The Jews are targeted again
“American Jewish leaders on Tuesday condemned US President Donald Trump after he accused Jews who support Democrats of “great disloyalty,” saying he was employing a dangerous anti-Semitic trope.
“It’s unclear who @POTUS is claiming Jews would be “disloyal” to, but charges of disloyalty have long been used to attack Jews,” tweeted Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League…”

This issue is a big embarrassment for the US. Not to mention incredible suffering for families and their children.
Even Trump’s perpetual cheerleader says we must allow increased immigration.

In stark contrast to the administration’s policy of restricting legal immigration ala Miller, FOX, etc., Thiessen states the obvious: we need more immigrants or we cannot prosper.

How many nuclear missile subs do we need…are we blowing up the moon, too?

Cut taxes? Check. Cut Medicare and SS? Work in progress. And if that doesn’t fly, borrow a few trillion more.
Then bloat the military/industrial complex, arguably the biggest welfare and jobs support program we have. Looking for another war? Venezuela has bee mentioned. Iran? Why not? Iraq was so easy and successful.
We are always fighting the last wars. The Russians, and others I’m sure, have cleverly divided us like a mistress does to a troubled marriage. Cyber attacks work without firing a single rocket. And for a lot less money…by far.
Meanwhile the Chinese are forging trade alliances and infrastructure investments all around the world. And we are tossing up tariffs and walls. Doing our level best to piss off even our best allies in both defense and trade.
Think of what a fraction of the cost those subs spent on infrastructure, manufacturing and education in Central America might do to curtail the flow of desperate refugees fleeing for their lives.
Eisenhower was right. And we are wrong.
GOP pushing hard for impeachment…sooo hard
https://pilotonline.com/opinion/columnist/guest/article_50bdca0e-2a25-5f87-b9fe-5f23c3d8fd5b.html
Ironic that calls for impeachment are strongest from the GOP And Trump’s fan base.
