State of the Union 1/30/18

[Paratus]

Ivanka’s staff did a good job on the speech tonight.

 

[IronWing]

Was it a coherent speech or just a long rant?

 

[UglyCasanova]

Y’all are so butthurt

 

[UberNeuman]

Y’all are so butthurt

Idiot.

 

[SlowSpyder]

I think it was a good speech, he held firm in some places, seemed to be reaching across the aisle in others, and started out the speech with some wins. I think he did better than some here would like to admit.

 

[vi edit]

Y’all are so butthurt

Butt hurt? Nah, just emotional appeals to bullshit that intelligent people see right through .

 

[IronWing]

Y’all are so butthurt

Not butthurt, but disappointed in my country. America has gone through this fascist shit before and every time we look back in shame and pretend we're better than this.

 

[KLin]

Idiot.

UberDumbShit

 

[UNCjigga]

He was Reaganesque tonight, but let's not go around calling him the great Communicator.

He gave a state of the union speech. I can see how that could be considered a win.

 

[KLin]

oh, look at you trying so hard. lol...

Not hard to try with a dumbshit like you lol...

 

[Paratus]

Politifact just crashed.

 

[UberNeuman]

Not hard to try with a dumbshit like you lol...

lol!

Only someone mentally ill thinks this speech rose to the level of Kennedy or King

He did it with charisma though.

 

[KLin]

Yeah, he didn’t step on his dick and read all the words, bigly win.

You guys are losing it tonight.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Who said it did?

I see he pushed for right-to-try nonsense in the State of the Union. Color me shocked that the king of the scammers would push for weakening the FDA and opening the door to snake-oil salesmen taking advantage of even more people.

When you're the terminally ill person, you too may want to try a drug that hasn't been through a years long FDA approval process yet.

You can already do that - it's called the expanded access program: they approve >99% of requests. https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/PublicHealthFocus/ExpandedAccessCompassionateUse/default.htm

And drugs are generally approved in 6-12 months from the new drug application filing (which usually occurs after Phase 3 results are in which show proof-of-efficacy and proof-of-tolerability in an appropriately powered study). It's not the approval process that takes a long time to get a drug to the market. The major time sink is running the trials to get the proof.

Eh,

Maybe you are too young to remember Bill Clinton, or even Reagan. They could give a charismatic speech.

Clinton was never the charmer with me he was others but I was fairly young. I was a kid during the Reagan days so I didn't really pay attention at all at the time, but I've read some of his quotes and seen some clips. The guy knew his audience and how to work them.
