The Dem House should drop everything, draw up articles of impeachment on just this and start the hearings immediately.
The Dems could monopolize some of the news like they did for weeks prior and during the impeachment hearings......

the more bad news, the more they will try to cover up hoping it will fizzle out. You won't hear about the real effects to the economy or people's health from the Trump admin in order to protect his re-election effort.

or maybe they are planning something really nefarious.

let's hope there are still a few minds in the White House that are not concerned with metaphorically sucking Trump's cock.

To hide the truth from what the dr's would say because they are fed up hearing his propaganda on this subject., while trump hides the truth from exposing him as a complete failure on this crisis. He's lied from the start, remember "its contained:.

At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
