(10,134 posts)He has this fascination for kidneys now for some reason.
None of these will change Medicare at all.
And he will scream against socialized government medicine. The irony will be lost on his base and some of the media will repeat Trump's words with little challenge.

(4,416 posts)restraining order on this "dictator" from performing any national/program "orders" while he's under investigation for his "extortion" et al other "high crimes and misdemeanors." Nothing but an abusive domestic terrorist - America needs a protection order from SCOTUS chair Roberts, et. al. For sure, Barr is compromised. Hope your House Rep. is energized on behalf of those they represent! Call that person's office immediately, in advance of his power grab!
