We’ve come along in regards to tobacco use but that’s mostly due to the big trials in the 90s and what they put in the spotlight. The same can be said for oxy I’m the 2000s though with far less media coverage. There’s always something being peddled. Big pharmaceutical companies are probably doing the most damage to American health and wellbeing.

Consider this. The US is one of the only countries that allows pharma ads on television. They tell you ask your doctor for their medication. Insanity.
There are ads in Belgium for some very mild medications.

Like stuff to prevent UTI's or very weak otc painkillers. To be honest if it was up to me I'd get those ads off the tv as well, but that's as far as it goes.

Not allowing Tylenol an OTC status is a little too extreme. OTOH, the US is, or at least was, way too liberal with narcotics.

The US has at least tried hard to limit narcotics (at times stupidly, though). We still have a long ways to go but have way too many people already addicted to prescription narcotic’s. Most likely going to take several more years before the perception of getting easy narcotics is significantly altered in the mind of the general populace.

I think that we have done very well with cutting down on smoking.
Yes and no for tylenol.

Personally I almost never use painkillers. The times I have would have been times I'd see a doctor anyway. But I have used paracetamol with my kid, because even when he's not really ill at all he will immediately develop a high fever when he's got a cold or something. And toddlers get colds every five seconds. So it would suck to need a prescription every time.

On the other hand paracetamol is more toxic than people realise. With children parents sometimes misread the dose they need to give, but adults can wrongly assume it's not dangerous to take a lot.

Is this really what they resort to now?
Apparently that guy, Larry Sinclair, had an hour long press conference about his “sexual liaisons” with Obama back in 2008. He’s a convicted felon.

The lie detector test he took that Tucker references as proof that the claim is true, Sinclair failed it lol. And then he accused Obama of bribing the examiners to rig the test. :lol2:

https://www.politico.com/story/2008/06/obama-accuser-has-long-rap-sheet-011164

“He was first arrested on a larceny charge in 1981 in Denver, according to his Colorado arrest record, as filed in federal court. In 1985, he was convicted of theft and of forging a check in Florida, and sentenced to a year in jail, according to Florida records filed in federal court.
After the Florida episode, according to the records, he returned to Colorado, where he faced check fraud and credit card charges in 1986. Then, in 1987, he was convicted in Colorado on more serious forgery charges, and sentenced to 16 years in jail.
In prison, according to state records filed in federal court, Sinclair was disciplined 97 times for infractions including assault, threats, drug possession, intimidation, and verbal abuse, most recently in 1996.”


Sounds like he has a lot of credibility. :lol2:

Why do you say this? I figure they are in the same camp.
This is pure speculation of course, i dont think biden would have gotten the push to be nominee and president without obama/clinton axis support. And maybe relationship soured and they are trading blows. Also pretty sure the dems would rather have someone like newsome run in 2024, but it looks like senile joe is running again.

I think we have more chances of finding bigfoot than someone who actually likes kamala.
in terms of people who aren't complete NPCs? Sure but there are plenty of vapids walking around, brains rotted out by identity politics, who are incapable of perceiving the world through any other lense

If that weren't true she would never have gotten close to the White House in the first place

Newsom is obviously the one the Dems would love to run but they've shot themselves in the foot with the Kamala choice so they have to run Biden again lol

Wasn't she polling less than 5% in the primaries? Doubt she gets the support to run for president.

of course she won't I'm saying they will have to run Biden's corpse again. It can't be Kamala cause she might actually lose to Trump and it can't be Newsom because they can't cut Kamala out for another white man...maybe if newsom goes Trans

Obviously you can't vote Trump, because.. well, everything.

But voting for Biden is pretty tough. I don't hate the man or anything, but it's such an unappealing choice.
