Hooray! Trump is reducing drug prices!

Posted By Jim Moscheck
Although not too sure about his math. I guess the family math skills didn’t rub off on him from his late great Uncle Professor Dr. John Trump, who by the way, was the longest serving professor at MIT (he wasn’t) who had the Unibomber as a student (he didn’t) and Trump asked him, Dr. Uncle Professor John? What was it like to have Kosinski as a student, and he told him he was smart and always correcting other students. The Unibomber never went to MIT and Donny’s uncle died in 1985, years before he was ever known as the Unibomber. 

Back to the math. 1000%? 700%? 1500%? Will the drug companies now be paying us for taking their meds? Obviously, this part is firmly tongue in cheek, but who in their right mind thinks Trump is in his right mind? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Epstein Files and the Client List

Posted By Jim Moscheck
It is a story that just won’t go away. Best way to drain the swamp would be the release of the files, but looks unlikely it’ll happen.

It appears that you are just one more boring example of that.      smile
As opposed to the boring example you set as the lone MAGA sycophant here.  grin

BTW, I don't think we've had an update lately on your world travels.  Care to share?  tongue
Yes, I’m flying to California in December to visit a lady friend for a few days in Santa Barbara then we are going on an 11 day cruise to Mexico for my birthday leaving from San Diego. We are taking the train down the coast the day before it leaves. Just firmed up my plans.

Boy, imagine the nerve of someone diverging from the topic and mentioning my World Travels and/or telescopes on a forum on an astronomy website. What were they thinking?

Gee Rich, I wouldn’t know. Seems you’re the one who likes to keep track of people. I guess Maurice is in your head now?

Funny how he made the comment alter the discussion of his homophobic and other behavior. I hear that’s just what incels do. Also, they often make fun of anyone who can get a date or girlfriend because they can’t due to their undesirable personalities. 

I’m pretty happy I was lucky enough to a meet a nice smart woman who is also very pretty, especially after losing my college sweetheart 15 month ago after 41 years of marriage. We met on my last trip of world travels but the distance thing might become a problem. For now I’m just going to go with the flow and enjoy the time we do get together. Looking forward to December.

Although. I mean, who would say this about their daughter? Yeah, Trump would.

Did anyone catch this? The caddie backhand flips a ball then Trump immediately goes to hit it. I suppose that's one way to defect from the Epstein scandal.

I don't see this as chickening out. As far as my investment go I'd rather see an extension than just unilaterally imposing tariffs and rattling the markets. 

As far as inflation my fixed income expenses have increased. Have you priced a good steak at the meat and grocery stores?

At least we are getting a White House Ballroom decked out in gold embellishments, I'm sure.
I wonder how much it's going to hurt this time?
