(268,885 posts)Bush et al should not have been allowed to get away with stealing the Presidency from Gore and everyone who went along with that illegal war in Iraq should still be in prison.

(15,805 posts)He's expanded from stealing wages from the undocumented workers at his hotels, to swiping critical supplies from hospitals. He's put the lives of the professional staff who risk their lives every day, to the most vulnerable of patients. And he doesn't care.
All he sees is a great photo op where Trump the Beneficent swoops down from on high and delivers some boxes of supplies to a hospital where maybe someone praised him. He's love to stand on a platform and toss out packages of PPE and masks to a grateful crowd, cheering his name for the evening news coverage.

Or maybe the masks will go to a country that forgives his debt? Or lets him build a golf course?
All we know for sure is he is using the stockpile to benefit himself or his family in some way. That is a given.

(6,831 posts)If there's a vet in your life, tell them. Call them. Now. Tell them to call another vet.
This outright theft from the feds is NOT LEGAL.
Not in Massachusetts, not any where.
Not at the VA's expense either.
Now, call your elected representative and senators.
This SHIT has got to stop.
We need a Congressional investigation into these thefts and WHERE in the Hell they're being diverted.
