Pharma terrorist Shkreli’s public temper tantrum: “I would destroy Bernie Sanders in a debate”

[yurbud]

I want to thank this punk sociopath Shkreli for reminding me again that the very wealthy didn't necessarily get that way by working harder, being smarter or more creative, and certainly not more moral than the rest of us, much the way the morally and intellectually bankrupt inbred trust fund babies of the GOP have like Mitt, W, Jeb, Forbes, and most recently, Trump.

As Jim Hightower said of Baby Bush, Shkreli and these other entitled assholes were born on third base and think they hit a triple.

Turing Pharmaceutical founder Martin Shkreli appeared on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” Friday and declared that potential Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders — who publicly rejected a campaign donation from the disgraced CEO earlier this month — is “a demagogue” who’s “afraid of the issues.”

“I think I’d destroy him in a debate about pharmaceuticals,” said the man who’s spent weeks being repeatedly humiliated in every debate he’s participated in, be they about pharmaceuticals or otherwise. He later challenged “any other CEO in Big Pharma” to “a debate contest about science.”

Shkreli claimed that Sanders “doesn’t understand pharmaceuticals at all,” then boasted that while the Vermont senator “donated on my behalf” the $2,700 that the CEO tried to give to the Sanders campaign, he was willing to donate $50,000 to the same HIV/AIDS charity if they would take his money.

Host Maria Bartiromo asked Shkreli what it felt like “to be basically ostracized for this?” He replied that “I think you’d be surprised at the amount of support I’ve got — there’s a lot of people who support free markets.”

1. Yet another idiot who should wash their hair.

Just like that woman (Roby) on the Benghazi committee.

Slime does not even begin to describe him. Then there's his unwashed hair.

2. is there something the rich eat that has a lot of lead in it?

It sure seems like it.

3. It comes from licking the 200 year old painted woodwork of their mansions.

say what you will about my bae and her growing up in public housing...there's no lead-based paint. Every lead-based moron I ever met was from the silver spoon set.

4. Never heard of lead crystal, I see

Lead crystal is a very beautiful and quite costly form of glassware, preferred by the well-to-do because of its fiery brilliance. It also leaches lead like a bastard; it's bad enough they tell you not to store booze in it, put acidic beverages in it, or let kids drink out of it. The Rich, of course, don't want to hear that shit; the only "plastic" things The Rich want to have in their homes are credit cards. Since The Rich are immune to the sundry complaints of lesser men, like lead poisoning, The Rich store alcoholic beverages in lead crystal and they have their kids drink orange juice out of it.

6. There was also pewterware and ceramic

Quite a bit of old pewter (the kind that gets put in wills) had lead in it; lead adds strength to the alloy and lets it age to a nice color. Ceramics were finished in leaden glazes. And a lot of "everyday use" silverware was plated over pewter, which of course contains lead. (Even more fun: In Victorian times, The Rich absolutely LOVED using powdered white lead as makeup. Everyone used it, regardless of gender or age, because pale skin meant you weren't a working stiff.)

The Rich have basically surrounded themselves in lead for a really long time, and the effects are plain to see.

7. plus inbreeding

8. That maybe more than anything

When your whole family tree has three names in it, bad things happen.
