#1 So now the gov't is picking and choosing which charities it will support. Hmmmm.

#4 How about you use it to pay on the debt?

Sure it won't do much but the thought counts.

#5 "other charities"... WHO is a charity?

#6 @ AlanC - It might even buy a few ventilators or give a few disadvantaged people a bite to eat. But, I suppose even that is technically "picking and choosing".

If $1 trillion equals one million stacks of one million dollars, then, well...the numbers are just too staggering.

#7 The House says Trump is bound by law to distribute those funds to WHO because that is what they were appropriated for, and that to do otherwise is an impeachable offense; this could go to the courts.

#8 That makes sense. That appropriation stuff can probably be kinda tricky.

Well, it if is law, then Trump is wrong. Of course, he could be show-boating just to put WHO on notice for the future.

Oh, wait, an impeachable offense. Here we go again!

#9 and thus the Democrats own WHO, a corrupt commie-dominated organization that Americans will come to loathe. Trump is a genius

#10 Can this entire impeachment business be streamlined? Sorta, "Clerk, add to the session notes that (not mine) president Trump been impeached today."?

#11 Funny... Trump is 'bound by law' yet Obama could pick and choose which laws he would enforce and which he would ignore.

#12 Obama was a messiah, Trump is Schicklgruber.

#13 And they all ignore the Constitution.

#14 Ref #12: Obama was a messiah....

I suspected you would eventually come around.
