HH26: The Fake Wall and China 0

Sep 28, 2017

Trump's magnum opus wall, much like the rest of him, has nearly no chance of ever becoming erect. Nonetheless, we have begun paying for it (the wall and, in all likelihood, the boner efforts as well).

In international legal news, Hong Kong has taken a tiny step towards LGBT equality. Saudi Arabia has done the same for women... maybe.

(Oops I forgot the news and video links! I will add them tonight)

HH25: Pharma Fraud 0

Sep 21, 2017

An (almost) hour's worth of dirt on big pharma: inflated vaccine prices result in dead children; misleading opioid marketing results in heroin addicts and dead adults; politicians and doctors are on the payroll.

... Oh, and the scum running the Morristown, New Jersey city government are giving people's tax money to churches.
