Trump wants to ban drug advertising on TV

I see it as a free speech issue but Trump being Trump wants to protect us.  I see a little Bobby influence here.  RFK Jr. the nation's doctor.  Actually these Big Pharma produced TV ads are so well made you want the drug even if you don't have the ailment.  Guy or gal climbing a mountain at sunrise or kayaking.  Rare side effects may include swallowing your tongue or sticking your head in the oven.  I don't think Trump will ever get to the cost-of-living in his second term.  Too much on his plate.  Maybe he's saving it for his third term.


And Happy Tremfya to you.

  1. At least some of the insurance ads are funny. We should all have an Emu that keeps us busy.

  2. Another death in Utah - Robert Redford up at his ranch house at Sundance. 89. No suspects this time.

    1. A lot of good movies. Didn't just earn a paycheck.

  3. Saw an ad for a face cream that removes 7 years. Told the wife that at 84, 12 bottles would take me back to being a baby. She said I was already enough trouble. Blame it on big pharma?

  4. Does Bobby have a book of home remedies yet? Like put a teabag in a tub you'll sleep better.

  5. Blasting Venezuelan narco-terrorist boats out of the water and taking on Big Pharma. How does Trump find the time?

  6. Illicit fentanyl seems to be a big seller without tv ads. My problem with big pharma is all the ad $$$$$ would be better spent on quality research. That and they all sell for about half what we pay in Canada.

  7. Fentynyl. Whatever happened to having a drink to take the edge off a rough day.

  8. Those rowboats from Venezuela - how do they know they are full of
    drugs and not fish? On international waters, ya'd think they would at least stop and search, rather than doing a mini -Gaza.

  9. These and more questions. Rand Paul has issues with what Trump did. Even Dirty Harry got his facts straight first.

  10. He and Bibi have a lot in common. Don't follow any laws or customs.

  11. Those Caribbean waters have always been problematic - who can forget how the War of Jenkin's Ear gradually turned into the War of the Austrian Succession? Trump is always rattling the sabre, but only attacks little places, which is better than butting heads with China or Russia (whose little fishing boats may carry nukes).

  12. He's the peace loving president who renamed the Dept. of Defense the Department of War. Odd for such a peace loving president.

  13. You suppose he was practicing issuing Executive Orders from 3rd Grade on?

  14. I saw Trump in England riding in a gold encrusted coach with King Chuck. I suspect he took a liking to that coach and wants it. Will he have Homan deport it to the US or trade a few battalions of NG troops to keep those rowdy Brits in line - one had a sign that read "Orange Lies Matter" - cheeky old chap.

  15. Never understood executive orders. They're not permanent law. The next president can issue the opposite executive orders. Why waste your time unless you think you're a monarch.

  16. He loves the trappings of wealth. The middle class what's that?

  17. Ever heard of Fool's Gold? Never understood why anyone craved far more than they needed.

  18. All I ever wanted was to be financially secure. Some people want to be financially secure AND run a sex trafficking ring. Give me a yacht and I'm happy.

  19. Yonkers property tax time. Yonkers assesses my hovel to be a mansion. The speed with which they cash my checks is amazing.

  20. Hmmm - have you considered the ICE signing bonus of $50K ?

  21. They know how to lure.people in. Student loan forgiveness too. I gotta respect myself in the morning though.

  22. "Know thy self" was an ancient Greek maxim. You got it - Trump don't.
    Politics has gone from sublime to ridiculous anymore. Every channel had the US president bloviating from England. Got nauseous, turned it off when I couldn't find a Big Bang Theory rerun..

  23. Kimmel seems a little behind the news curve. Disney canceled his show over his Kirk joke. The kid the alleged shooter was hardly right-wing. Authorities in Utah said he started to lean left and had political disagreements with his Dad. Lots of people feel Kimmel should be replaced with Ricky Gervais.

  24. Trump mentioned he will remove the license of any network that criticizes him. All-time Fox News? The havoc that is the CDC is anti vaccine, anti-science and pro RFK Jr. They will probably recommend the alternative of dancing around a dead chicken shouting "Col Sanders is our God". Kirk stated he wanted Biden arrested and hung - for what being old? What the hell ever happened to 'normal?) Haven't been able to sign up for my covid shot, but a grooming place will try to de-matt the old cat's fur, unless the CDC has banned that as well.

  25. Everything but the cost-of-living. Maybe in his third term. Kimmel's joke was lame but falls squarely under free speech but he does work for a corporation. Bobby said you can still get the most rushed vaccine in history. Gotta get a new litter box.

  26. How manly ferals you managing these days? They need all the help they can get. Got a kid up the street that I think may be feral.

  27. Five I own that I take to the vet every year and two that come around. Seven total.

  28. Should be. I have cat beds on the front porch for the wintertime with a nice autumnal throw on top.
