Not really, most of you guys are beyond any form of “substantive” change. I love these types of threads because it takes a topic that everyone can agree is wrong and still goes out of its way to shit on the side the OP and the goof troop dislikes as a whole hence the “I can’t believe people still vote republican” comments. Couple that in with OP being a socialist shill and my shit post is basically all this thread deserves

Yes, because we all have witnessed how many intelligent, well-reasoned responses you are capable of when the discussion meets your standard of discourse. Truly, your post history is a compendium of substantive thought detailing your very thoughtfully detailed positions.

It's about their terrible "governance" yes, and also the lack of accountability since their voters are disinterested morons.

It's also a nice place to see the gulf between what Democrats do in Congress, and what Republicans do. If you care at all about actual policy, and how it impacts people's lives, you'd vote Democrat.

Anyone can disagree with @Trotsky on his political views, call him an asshole, but you would be a fool to believe that he is not a very intelligent person.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

No you can't. You only tow the line. Pro-life democrats are not a thing. Same with pro-immigrant republicans. It's all fantasy.

I'm pro immigration and a republican, I'm just for legal immigration

Hmmm trotsky, sankara, bernie, shills for socialism. That’s not very smart in my book

Is there a better source than buzzfeed on this?

 

[EradiatedHaggis]

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent letters to a dozen CEOs of major drug companies warning that information they provide to the committee could be leaked to the public by Democratic chair Elijah Cummings in an effort to tank their stock prices.
​

​

And leave it to that old reliable no biased Buzzfeed to leave out the part of the letter that actually explains the REASONS WHY THE DID IT...

According to the PDF of the letter they are using in the article to smear Republicans it clearly states that they are writting the letter because not only was the investigation started without consulting the committee Republicans but also due to their BOASTING that their investigations in the past has harmed companies value.

Stay sleazy as fuck leftists with your shit fake news and fake outrage over fake issues you are inventing to be angry over.

I said in all my post if the request is legal fuck the republicans that said that.

Also fuck anyone that would release the information illegally.

If it is legal? Has anything been presented at all to suggest it is illegal? Not trying to give you a hard time, but I think "fuck the republicans" might be the proper default starting position here. I think the drug companies are swimming in lawyers that they don't need Rs carrying their water for them. Your hypothetical is still beyond silly, they are not going to be damaged by releasing how they price due to competition, it's the fear of regulatory / legal push back that's the concern.

It's a 500-word article and it's all in the OP. You really couldn't make it through 500 words to see that that is included?

In their letter, Jordan and Meadows say that “while we cannot speculate about Chairman Cummings’ motives,” the committee should not pursue an investigation designed to impact stock prices.

This hinges on a quote from Cummings saying he has three staffers he calls “the drug team” who work on the high cost of drugs and that their work has lowered drug company stocks.

The quote omits the full context of Cummings’ remarks. At the time he was appearing before the Committee on House Administration seeking an increase in funding for his committee. (Jordan, as the ranking Oversight Republican, objected to a funding increase.)

The letter quotes Cummings as saying of his drug team: “If you follow the headlines, we have already seen the impact they have had… on stock prices with regard to drugs. I mean, it has been astronomical.” The letter omits the rest of the sentence: “saving the taxpayers money.”

In the edited quote, Cummings seems to be bragging about an “astronomical” impact on drug company stocks. In the context of his statements before and after, he seems to be saying the “astronomical” impact is on taxpayer savings, which justify giving his committee more resources. A minute later he says: “Whatever you all give us, we will give it back in savings by rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse.”​

Jordan’s office insisted that the letter does not tell companies not to respond to Cummings’ requests, and in fact encourages the companies to cooperate with “responsible and legitimate” oversight. However, Jordan’s office reiterated that he has grave concerns that in this case Democrats are out to destroy drug company stock value.​
