    When did Bush say that?

    I'm skeptical. Got a link to a credible source, or are you just spewing BS?

    Why bother? You can lead a Trumpster to facts, but you can't break the Trump spell with facts. That bubble don't break.

    Hogwash.
    A large percentage of people who feels that their interests are suffering because of a particular person in charge (be it a little league team or a nation) thinks the person not placating them is a criminal of some kind.
    Rules that help me are made by my competent friends, rules that hurt me are made by ignorant jackasses. Once so classified, that applies to everything they do- until they make ME happy. Human nature.
    Right now, the libs/dem and friends are in the hurt class- number one reason is they lost the elections after braying like jackasses all through the campaigns about what a fool Trump was to think he could win. Set themselves up for it, made fools of themselves, still trying to prove that they were somehow right and aren't jackasses. Not smart- because they just continue to prove themselves wrong.

    It's not a matter of being above the law at all. It's a matter of whether or not the particular configuration of laws serves their particular interests.
    The president CANNOT write legislation- that can only be done by Congress. This is why we have 535 congressmen- and 13,700 registered lobbyists being paid to influence the legislation those congressmen create and vote on. That's about 26 paid con men for each member of congress. 1274 of them are working for big pharma, about two for every member of congress. Lots more that are unpaid, but working hard to do the same thing. These people's first objective- Keep drug prices high.

    https://www.citizensforethics.org/a...obbies-to-keep-prescription-drug-prices-high/

    Big pharma has a huge stake in that- and unlike most politicians, Trump doesn't bend much to the political pressures and influence. Of course he is their enemy; he might actually inspire common sense change that
    bring drug prices under some sort of control- and that might mean that the Tylenol on your hospital bill can no longer be charged at $15 a pill.

    Would you impeach someone working to get you fair health costs? Of course, if it's Trump. Hate is hardly going to be restrained by common sense and logic. At least the lobbyists are admitted mercenaries, they get paid to influence things to their employers advantage. The haters do what they do free, and are willingly ignorant and unaware of who and where the damage they do really falls.

    Well then, I'm sure you are pleased with Trump's work bringing down Prescription Drug Prices then.

    Great news for American patients! Prescription drug prices FELL again last month and are now 2.3% below their peak. Increased generic drug approvals under @realDonaldTrump continue driving price reductions. Read our recent report on falling prices: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Measuring-Prescription-Drug-Prices-A-Primer-on-the-CPI-Prescription-Drug-Index.pdf …

    Has he?

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-prescription-drugs/5d8b83e288e0fa4b0ec245ac/

    "The White House says President Trump will issue an executive order within the next few weeks to strengthen certain Medicare plans and allow the United States to import some prescription drugs."

    Seems an EO was planned, but has he signed it? I can't find any evidence of that. And will his EO do any more than allow for imports of "some orescription drugs"?

    Meanwhile, in the House:

    https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...-lower-drug-prices-saves-medicare-345-billion

    Will McConnell allow the Senate to even debate this bill, much less vote on it? Small chance. And if by some miracle he does, will Trump sign it? One can only hope. As someone on Medicare with two chronic pre-existing conditions, my prescriptions are one of my biggest expenses, so it matters to me. The prices of my two most costly meds hve gone up this year, not down.

    Sorry, epic fail on that. From your link:

    "The Trump administration has been trumpeting a huge increase in FDA generic drug approvals the past two years, the result of its actions to streamline a cumbersome process and combat anti-competitive practices. But nearly half of those newly approved drugs aren’t being sold in the United States, Kaiser Health News has found, meaning that many patients are deriving little practical benefit from the administration’s efforts."

    And that's just the first paragraph. Further down:

    "The approved generics that haven’t made it to American medicine cabinets include generic versions of expensive medicines like the blood thinner Brilinta and HIV medication Truvada. They also include six different generic versions of Nitropress, a heart failure drug, whose price spiked 310 percent in 2015."

    Didn't you read the article? Whatever you think Trump is doing, it isn't having any effect on drug prices.

    Exactly, the benefit is coming from the half that has seen approvals.

    Seriously, read your own link. Generics are not being approved any faster, regardless of any EO from Trump. Drug prices are still rising.

    Yes they are.

    The Food and Drug Administration has approved more than 1,600 generic drug applications since January 2017 — about a third more than it did in the last two years of the Obama administration.

    57% of those generics were already on the market as of early January.
    No they aren't. They are falling.

    What’s wrong? Can’t be impartial? Non partisan?

    No proof of Democrats doing any nepotistic endeavours whereas
