to use medical supplies to blackmail Governors in to prematurely opening their states. Nice State you got there be a shame if something happened to it.

He doesn’t give one flying fuck about people’s lives. Everything is personal. If you’re not one of his toadies you deserve to drop dead.

Trump has his minions outbid the states for purchases of this materiel, and if they can't buy the stuff they just seize it.

Is there no agency in this country who can stop these criminals from committing acts that will surely lead to the deaths of more US citizens? Is there really nobody and no entity with the power to stop them? I just can't get my mind around this. I can't believe how evil and how bold they are.

made to answer about what they are doing with the PPE's he has seized. He is an unelected official, no Security clearance, yet he is making life and death decisions. This is so wrong.

on our government with a lunatic in charge.

If I was advising a second tier republican, I would strongly advise them to step the fuck up NOW.

If they are no longer concerned about the swing states, one COULD jump to the conclusion that they feel the swing states won't be needed.

There seems to be only two ways they can do that...

Putin will make sure the turd continues to float by making sure there are enough votes changed that he wins the EC (the turd himself said he could still win the EC and lose the popular vote by 5,000,000),

or there is no concern because there is not going to be an election.

(Cue the "it's just impossible" brigade...)

life in the United States and impact is 6 months from today. We know what Trump and the Republicans would be doing to stop it, nothing. It’s up to the States to stop it and, oh, by the way, you can’t use the military, NASA, or any other Federal assets to stop it. Trump and his republican buddies would be selling tickets out of town and saving their own asses while Fox and RW media convince his trolls it’s all a hoax. In the meantime we all die.

And then he'd point and laugh in our faces and say that we deserved it for buying a ticket.

... and use a P.O. Box as an address. That way the feds can't trace the order and confiscate it at the receiving dock.
