Allow me to help you get refocused.
John Thune is one among many Republicans who enjoys big contributions to pro-Thune / pro-Republican Party PACs.
It doesn’t matter to Thune and his ilk like John Cornyn and that big pharma also funds pro-Democrat Party PACs.
What matters to Thune and Cornyn is that PAC money keeps coming to them.
xxxxxxx
It drives the TDSers crazy that Trump cannot be bought-off by the pharma lobby. Pharma has donated big bucks to pro-Trump PACs, just as they have done with nearly every prominent national elected politician. Yet, Trump isn’t bought off by their donations.
This is another wooden stake in the heart of a horse manure Uniparty attack line against Trump. And hoo boy, does this drive the TDSers crazy.

And Trump takes money from pharma too, right? Is someone only bought and paid for when they might oppose what Trump does?

No, someone is bought and paid for when he bends his political policies to satisfy the wishes of his big campaign (in this case, PAC) donors.
Thune (and Cornyn) are not bought and paid for as long as the subject of legislative interest is not a big PAC donor. So they’ve got that in their defense.

So...is there a chance that Congress might not approve of this action being...
May 13, 2025, 7:32 AM

taken via EO?
I don't, on the grounds that it's not a power granted to the POTUS in the Constitution. Congress has the power for this type of action, not the Executive. I believe that SCOTUS agrees with me based on prior rulings.
Or, perhaps, they don't agree with the federal government getting directly involved in pricing controls and prefer to leave that to the market to decide.
Am I bought and paid for too?

Trump hater Congressman Roh Khahana (D-CA) has jumped ahead of the crowd in volunteering to co-sponsor bipartisan legislation with a Republican congressional rep to codify Trump’s most-favored-nation drug price EO.
So there’s that.

If someone posts a Tweet that starts with a red light emoji, it should be immediately ignored and probably RA'ed because it's auto-BS.

This Viking account appeared last week and has been posting snarky headline link to conspiracy tweet 3-4 times a day, it’s the exact same thing mcmuffin and edgelordtom did for months during the general election

He's definitely not McMuffin; that guy has had the same writing style for over 20 years and gets easily butthurt. He also doesn't have a sense of humor, and Viking at least seems to have a little bit of one.
But he's definitely someone who has been here before.

You’re like a zoo animal to me, a creature I can observe.
Out of my curiosity, are John Thune and Mike Johnson pawns of satan? I never got closure last week on deciding who is and isn’t in the cabal yearning for world domination.
