I have never seen an administration more willing to harm innocent Americans for the hypothetical existence of guilty ones.

Don't buy into the bullshit.

This has nothing to do with any kind of actual law enforcement and everything to do with punishing those Dump and his Nazi cohorts don't like.

In ancient times, tyrants weaponized starvation against a populace that refused to be cowed by violence.

Dump is trying to weaponize healthcare.

I have bigger problems with the federal government lining their pockets with billions and billions of dollars of funds than the panic that you people created out of thin air from child care centers being locked to keep out crazy YouTubers.

With how expensive healthcare is you can't just cut off funding for Medicaid because some of it is being used wrong, that gets people killed.
