Only people who are saying "people are saying trump's dead" are the trump bots. The rest of us want real journalism to explain why trump's been MIA for a week and why the White House's health explanations are bogus.

It's weird he needs to wear a jacket in DC on a warm 75° day. Even if this was morning the temp was over 70°. Chemo giving him chills?
Lilly of Copper Island (@lillysrouter.bsky.social) reply parent
Why is he wearing a jacket? It's summer in DC. It was like 71° at 9am.

This includes those of us who get their drugs from overseas pharmacies. We had our order canceled last week leaving us with buying our prescription from a local pharmacy for $300+ per refill. Prior to Commander Cankles coronation that same prescription cost us $80 per refill. This is real inflation.

These were people whose job was to prosecute child traffickers, drug dealers and white collar criminals. Any guesses why Commander Cankles wants them gone?

Call me a cynic but it seems like SCOTUS wants to let trump be trump for as long as possible on the shadow docket and then, should we get a Dem president again, later rule "oh yeah, this stuff was totally illegal so you better not do any of that stuff Mr. Democrat President"

The fact that trump is taking medications not recommended by trump's own government taskforce charged with making these recommendations should be driving a lot of questions. Aspirin is simply not given to older adults for routine preventative care.

Link to current recommendations on aspirin therapy, something they've publicly admitted he's doing. TLDR, not recommended period for those over 75. Not recommended to begin therapy after age 60 for primary prevention of cardio-vascular disease. www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/home/getfile...

A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences, which play out slowly. On average, incomes fall behind by nearly 15% over 15 years. For the U.S., this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime, that's million bucks.

I've already felt the effects of this. It seems I can no longer get our prescription from overseas sources. The pharmacy we use called me last Friday to say the could not fulfill my most recent order. The $ diff between overseas and domestic pharmacies is $100 vs $300 per refill for me.
