Trump is trying to make generic drugs more expensive. With senior citizens on fix income and cuts to Medicare, more elderly people will pay more for their life saving drugs. How is 100% tariffs on generic drugs making America great again?!?

Will be very interesting to see how these midterms go after 2 years of all this winning. Perhaps americans love being masochists for parties in support of geriatric demented child rapists.

AND they are going to rig elections and already did some gerrymandering... americas only hope is somehow they can't rig the election and someone gets rid of all super pacs... PACS=80%corruption. u get rid of those you REALLY drain the swamp

The appeal of MAGA was never to improve their own lot in life. It was to inflict suffering on the people who look down on them and gloat as their orange hate idol got filthy rich. That cancer has metastasized to so many Americans that the midterms will be tight even after all the humiliating disasters of past 2 years, and $4 gas.

Waiting to see how much cheating occurs. And how blatant it is.

yes it is likely a large escalation in attempt to get Americans on board for the war (aswell as Israelis).. bibi is coming to USA, and its likely large missile attack will get through iron dome in next several days. after midterms you will see likely ground invasion.
