I think we heard some of the silent majority, kek.
Peaceful protesters weren't they? Kek
POTUS LEADING by example, and showing the way.
Not notable, he was quoting someone.
At that point, the German put a gun to Roddie's head and demanded, "You will order the Jews to step forward immediately or I will shoot you right now through the head." Roddie responded, "Major, you can shoot me, but you'll have to kill us all." That's something. (Applause.) The German turned red, got very angry, but put down his gun, and walked away.
United, not divided.

The pharmaceutical and health products industry it includes not only drug manufacturers but also dealers of medical products and nutritional and dietary supplements is consistently near the top when it comes to federal campaign contributions. (Pharmaceutical manufacturers are a subset of this industry and are profiled in detail within this section).
The industry's political generosity increased in the years leading up to Congress' passage in 2003 of a Medicare prescription drug benefit. Since then, industry spending levels have fluctuated, though they have usually hovered around the $30 million range, including during the 2014 cycle when that number was nearly $32 million. 2012 was the cycle when the industry contributed the most – over $50.7 million. The pharmaceutical industry has traditionally supported Republican candidates, with the 2008 and 2010 cycles serving as the only exceptions. During the 2014 cycle, Republicans received 58 percent of industry contributions whereas Democrats received only 42 percent.

The Secret Drug Pricing System Middlemen Use to Rake in Millions
(Spread pricing)
Not everybody reads the legal notices inside the Ottumwa Courier. But in January, Iowa pharmacist Mark Frahm noticed something unusual in the paper.
For years, Frahm’s South Side Drug bought pills from distributors, and dispensed prescriptions to the Wapello County jail. In turn, the pharmacy got reimbursed for the drugs by CVS Health Corp., which managed the county’s drug benefits plan.
As he compared the newspaper notice with his own records, and then with the county’s, Frahm saw that for a bottle of generic antipsychotic pills, CVS had billed Wapello County $198.22. But South Side Drug was reimbursed just $5.73.
So why was CVS charging almost $200 for a bottle of pills that it told the pharmacy was worth less than $6? And what was the company doing with the other $192.49?
Frahm had stumbled across what’s known as spread pricing, where companies like CVS mark up—sometimes dramatically—the difference between the amount they reimburse pharmacies for a drug and the amount they charge their clients.
It’s where pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) like CVS make a part of their profit. But Frahm says he didn’t think the spread could be thousands of percent.
“Middlemen have to make some money, but we didn’t expect it to be this extreme,” said Frahm, who said his pharmacy lost money in the jail account last year because CVS paid so little. “We figured everyone was playing fair.”
