Trump responded in a tweet, now that “Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President’s Manufacturing Council, he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!”

Frazier one of the HIGHEST PAID Big Pharma CEOs with a compensation total of $25,000,000

How greedy he is, especially when people cannot afford medicine.

In this country, political correctness (i.e. stupidity) reigns. How many people have been murdered in Chicago just this year? How many in Baltimore? However, it is hardly even mentioned by politicians and the MSM.

As for Charlottesville, for the sake of argument, let us say that the driver had murder in his heart when he drove into the crowd. How is it that that one act of cold-blooded murders outweighs, in the minds of politicians and the MSM, the hundreds of cold-blooded murders in the cities of Baltimore and Chicago, not to mention New Orleans.

Murder is one of those crimes where the motivation for the act pales in significance to the act. The motivation for murder is always evil and the consequence the same.

Should not the networks and Drudge go on a tear about the murders happening in these cities?

I couldn’t give a hoot as to the “color” of this CEO. As a shareholder of Merck stock, I wasn’t aware of his skin tone. But as a shareholder I am appalled that the person we pay to “lead” the company has put his own feelings ahead of my interests. Foolish to attack your largest client. I want the board to fire this self-serving fool and claw back the stock options that have been awarded.

That’s a fair amount of loose change for the CEO.

How have the shareholders faired under this fellow’s administration?

Did this black 1% poser take a stand against the racists at “Black Lives Matter?” I doubt it. And what did Donald Trump have to do with Saturday’s events in Virginia anyway?

I believe it is intolerant and extreme to take down the statue of a great American like Robert E. Lee.

Robert E. Lee served in the U.S. Army from 1829 upon graduating from West Point until 1861....32 years, including service in the Mexican-American War.

Lincoln offered Lee command of the Union Army at the start of the war, but Lee declined, stating that he could not “take up arms against my fellow Virginians.”
