Really not sure Australians should be judging other countries for how they handle refugees.
Bill Maher thinks President Donald Trump’s administration is less like a reality show and “more like a Scorsese movie.”
On Friday’s broadcast of “Real Time,” the comedian broke down why he believes Trump is like a mob boss in a Martin Scorsese film. He said the president has surrounded himself in the White House with “toxic trash” figures from New York City — such as Michael Cohen, Rudy Giuliani and Anthony Scaramucci.
This administration “is a protection racket” and “everything Trump does is modeled on the mob,” said Maher. “Who does Trump surround himself with? Disposable lawyers and idiot members of his own family. Who’s his worst enemy? The FBI. Where does his money come from? He’s in construction.”
“He’s so much like a don, his name is literally Don,” Maher added. “What part of this isn’t mob-like?”
But what if you consider Australia's treatment of refugees to be utterly appalling?
He continued: "The reason why they are getting better net prices than we get is their socialised system."
The US doesn't have a global monopoly on the production of all drugs... why is everyone panicking?
While true, the US has a 340million vs 65 million people/market in terms of any trade agreement, so the UK is obviously going to be very much the underdog with very limited influence.
And the way these agreements are typically written, it will empower all pharm companies to override the bargaining agreements, not just US pharma cos.
Regardless, it is sickening that he's using the price of medicines as a bargaining chip.
Fucking revolting old man.
President Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller has told the president's legal team he will follow Justice Department guidance and not seek an indictment against Trump.
Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, also told Fox News that Mueller's investigators have not responded to five information requests from the president's team. That has forced Trump?s legal team to push off making a decision about whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel - a decision they had hoped to reach by Thursday.
The precedent that federal prosecutors cannot indict a sitting president is laid out in a 1999 Justice Department memo. Giuliani told Fox News that Mueller has no choice but to follow its guidance.
"This case is essentially over," Giuliani said. "They're just in denial."
