Do you value secularism or are you just anti cac?

not going to defend Russia but I think I’m getting a better feel for your politics
I don't think neither of these countries are good for women lgbt or race relations, if i had to pick one it would be Iran, Russia has entire undeveloped areas outside of Moscow that treat Muslims and Asians like complete dirt with their restrictive laws.

I'm certainly not trying to say one is good and one is bad, more-so relative bad. I think Russia is objectively better for women and human rights overall than pretty much any muslim country aside from indonesia, which I'm not even sure if indonesia's constitution is based on islamic law or not. It seems like you're simply more comfortable with the african roots of islam vs the white euro orthodox christianity vibe. But as far as basis in fact and history, these christian countires have been FAR FAR FAR FAR better for freedom of press & women & colored folks rights.

Neither of these countries allow freedom of press, women rights ( Russia has fake rights) and true support for colored folks. A bunch of western conditioning have a lot of you thinking islam counties =bad white Christian countries = good, just off the simple fact that one is a white country the other is Persian. Both country follow archaic ass biblical story books neither are good for progressive freedom. Russia gave Brittney griner a decade for some weed.

As far as being black in iran, im sure racism exists but im sure if you visted they'd treat you well i always here good things from people who have visited. It's probably one of the better Islamic counties if you could choose one. Most of them suck

[Politics 🏛️] Trump plans to issue executive order forcing price matching of US pharmaceuticals to lowest in world







Commented on Sun May 11 23:07:47 2025 UTC

Biden already had measures in place to keep prescription drug prices low, Mango Mussolini came in and repealed that. Now he puts this out there to try to fix a problem he created(though I doubt he's even serious about it). Do you see how this works yet?

│ What were the measures that were in place?

│ EDIT: Just asking an honest question, guys; I really didn't know and just wanted to learn. I'm not casting doubt or asking sarcastically or anything like that. Googling only gave me results about the new order and not Biden's which Trump rescinded.

│ EDIT 2: It was Biden's E.O. 14087 that Trump then rescinded his first day in office.

│ │ There were ten separate drugs that were price capped by the biden admin, insulin being one of them.
│ │
│ │ Trump removed that entire EO within the first week.

│ │ │ It wasn’t an executive order it is a law. He theoretically shouldn’t be able to violate, but he doesn’t seem to care about the law.

│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ That's correct, he did not rescind the law.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Trump v1.0 added a voluntary price option for insulin in the Medicare part D savings plan by E.O. that many participating insurers agreed to implement.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Later, during the Biden administration, Congress made these prices mandatory for all Part B and Part D plans through the Inflation Reduction Act.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Then Biden signed E.O. 14087 to commission a study to propose new ways to lower prescription drug prices further with new health savings models for part D.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Then on day 1 of Trump v2.0, he signed an E.O. to rescind E.O. 14087. So it has no effect on the prices set in the Inflation Reduction Act. Only congress or the supreme court can do that. His E.O. simply killed further development of new health savings models for Medicare part D.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Then social media lied to us about it.

@mastermind : I just got done listening to the Michael Tracey podcast and he made a good point; by cutting tariffs to levels it was prior to assuming office, Trump is showing how pro-working class he is. For those serious about following politics, it’s getting increasingly difficult to not give Trump credit.
