Well, I guess Dr. Fauci is toast.

[trof]

He dissed the Dear Leader so was not present at today's rally/'briefing'.

[Bev54]

1. Lucky him

Now maybe he can give his advice on other shows that people will watch. I know I am not the only one that turns the channel when the orange turd comes on.

[Ohioboy]

2. Yeah, but the woman who had a recent low grade fever was there

[Girard442]

3. Fauci has become an unperson, looks like,

[scarletwoman]

4. No, he's still on the Task Force. Trump just said Dr. Fauci is at a meeting when asked where he was.

[procon]

18. Yeah, an exit meeting with Human Resources to turn in

all his keys and badges.

[MerryBlooms]

5. Fauci hasn't been at every trump c-19 campaign ad.

Until there's an official announcement from Fauci, these posts whenever Fauci isn't present about Fauci being toast, are silly.

[trof]

6. Silly. Me. Well bless your heart.

I'm just guessing here, but I bet you're not lighthearted.
Am I right?
You really like to drill down on offhand comments here?
Hi.

[MerryBlooms]

14. Hell no I'm not light hearted. I'm stay-at-home ordered in Oregon with my two sisters

who are high risk. One is 76 with type 2 diabetes, the other 62 with congestive heart failure and asthma. I'm 56 and do state home care. My 89 y/o blind, post polio, congestive heart failure gal is in lockdown in her assisted care facility, so not only do we miss each other terribly, half my income is gone. I am still working for my Medicaid client, and trying to protect him as best I can. Since I am the healthiest, after just having two incarcerated hernia repairs and one still in need of repair, I'm the one doing pharmacy runs and helping any way I can and then disinfecting his home and ours and ME as best I can.

But, I stand by my comment. I still feel it's silly when every three days or so, Fauci is toast posts appear whenever he's not on the petri dish podium. Until I hear from Fauci or that cretin trump, Fauci is out, I think it's silly to speculate. We have enough reality that's biting us on the butt, without making it worse by speculation.

Hi.

[trof]

17. OK, well then...

So me making an offhand comment, a 'guess', about Fauci's presence drove you to castigate me personally (silly) and my post.
Well, bless your heart.
bye

[nilram]

23. So you're not ready for discussion on a discussion board?

Noted.

[Demonaut]

36. try not to be unnecessarily nasty, that is a nasty response

[Girard442]

7. In your mind, how many consecutive absences would mean he's relieved?

[trof]

8. Let me guess. You're a statistician?

I REALLY think folks need to lighten up a bit in here.
One COULD almost think that SOME wanted to disrupt?
Maybe it's just me.

[Girard442]

11. Didn't intend to be disruptive. It's just that I get the feeling Fauci will just fade away...

...and people should take notice.

[trof]

12. You weren't and I'm a dope.

[Girard442]

16. No problem.

[trof]

9. OH HELL! My humblest apologies.

I did NOT realize you weren't replying to me.
Peace?
Call ,it a senior moment.

[MerryBlooms]

15. He's been in and out. If he were gone for a week, I'd probably freak.

[Brother Buzz]

10. Malcolm Nance might be suggesting he's gone

Link to tweet

The optics are such that the orange anus can't afford to can Dr. Fauci, but he can certainly keep him benched and muzzled.

[Girard442]

13. Yeah, for someone who is incompetent at almost everything, why is Trump...

...so good at being a dirtbag?

[Brother Buzz]

19. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are drinking copious amounts of beer...

trying to sort the orange anus out. They're flummoxed.

[MerryBlooms]

20. I'm hoping he was in a meeting doing real work, instead of

being trump's puppet on a crowded stage for a campaign ad/rally thing. These so-called briefings are what the true hoax is. Fauci's is much better spent working with other experts on saving lives.

I'm pretty sure the only optics trump cares about is his. He doesn't give one shit about us, who's ill, who has died or who will die. All he cares about is his approval numbers and how quick he can pretend and cook the numbers to appear turn the economy around before November. He doesn't give one shit about American lives or how many of us perish.

[CanonRay]

21. If it was Friday he'd be gone

[GulfCoast66]

22. The good Dr has 50 years booked. He can retire anytime he wants. He is a civil servant.

He is not a political appointee. I suspect he will retire the second he does not think he is having any influence on policy.

If trump announces we are open for business in 2 weeks I would guess he would immediately bail.

That has to be trump’s greatest fear. Fauci retired, on going on TV right after every trump shit show to explain the real truth.

So I think they will try to keep him on board.

[milestogo]

24. I believe Fauci was on a Facebook broadcast today.

[lamp_shade]

25. I don't want him to resign. That would be a cop out. I'd rather...

I'd rather he got fired... the response would be fast and furious... all hell would break loose in the streets... Fauci would be telling the true story to every news outlet.... and trump knows it.

[True Blue American]

28. Amen!

[malaise]

26. Of course he's toast

The Con even referred to him as some of those people

[True Blue American]

27. Do you think

Trump will really fire Fauci, malaise? At this point Trump is running out of experts to depend on. At his age and with his reputation Doctor Fauci could probably care less.

Him being there is merely doing what he knows he can do best.

Doctor Birx looked like she was ready to walk. Exhausted, exasperated, listening to that childish rant of Trumps had to take everything she had not to tell him to shut up,go sit in the corner, you imbecile.

Man, I am using words in this post I have not used since GW Bush!

[malaise]

29. Yes

I don't think enough people understand that this lunatic firmly believes he know everything about everything.
I loved that she refused to answer his stupid question about the room arrangements.

[True Blue American]

31. I am torn

Between watching Fauci shred Trump and knowing he is the shred of sanity we need.

One thing is sure States rights are working this time. Much as I despise DeWine he is on top of everything. Sherrod Brown agrees.

I was well stocked on groceries so a week ago Friday was my last trip to the Grocery.

Many offers to pick up,though.

[hangaleft]

30. I called it two days ago...

32. every msm show will have him on..hes who we need

[gibraltar72]

33. He's in the land of the broken toys.

[Lulu KC]

37. He has missed briefings before

I am trying not to panic.
