With the Trump Administration Bidding Against States for Medical Supplies,

perhaps it's time for renewed Impeachment Hearings in the House. If he is planning to use a federal monopoly on medical equipment to extort Governors into doing what he wants, against medical advice, perhaps that is a "High crime or misdemeanor."

Just musing...

personally, I’m all for it. Of course, he won’t be removed but let him go down in history as the only president to have been impeached twice.

And, I'm sure he's going to use that medical equipment to attempt to force states to do what he wants.

There's no other reason for bidding against states for such equipment. It's criminal, it seems to me, just for the delays alone in getting supplies where they need to be.

The only ones who profit are Trump and his cronies... while we pay through the nose to stay alive.
It really is criminal.

as to how we can counter this assault on We the People and our union. But we have to stop them before they kill us all.



I'm approaching "hair on fire" myself.
