her reputation is dead by her own hand. She was asked what she thought about opening massage parlors and she fudged the answer and indicated that perhaps people had creative solutions to the social distancing problem.

5. Massaging someone from six feet away would certainly be hella creative

I wouldn’t want to get a tattoo from someone who was six feet away from me, either.

6. Who or what agency is responsible to making sure these guidelines are followed?? the state?

It certainly does not seem like it will be the Feds. I really do not know.

7. That would require a plan. There is no fucking plan.

You don't know? Hell, nobody knows.

What we have is a totally failed presidency.

11. When Trump said he had the power ...

The response from governors, scholars, and DUers was, "f--k that." In other words, no.

The power stays with the governors, with the states. Unless he invokes martial law, which is, I think, something nobody wants.

Guidelines are called "guidelines" for a reason.

9. I called her Dr. Scarf a few days ago and was attacked by the DU police.

I said in that post that she should've just walked out of the briefing room. "She's trying to appease trump so she can stay in her position and try to help us" is basically what I heard. I thought on that day she could do more for our safety by walking the hell out. Now it is too late to achieve the full effect of that action. She's been infected by the virus Donald J Trump.

Really gave a damn - they would record it, then make a transcript available the next day.

I'm not fooled by their crocodile tears.

14. I don't understand this Svengali effect he has on some people.

Dr. Brix had a respected career, she was at the top of her profession, and she threw it all away for... Donald Trump?? She has no credibility anymore. She's out of a job when this administration ends, and she'll be reduced to working for science deniers.

I don't get why though. Fauci does this dance where he tells the truth without poking Trump with too sharp of a stick, but Brix just toes the company line regardless of how ridiculous it is. Her whole career, her life's work, tossed in the garbage, for Trump.

17. That is what baffles me the most.

He is an absolute buffoon and yet so many reputable, intelligent people seem to cower before him as if he were some kind of god. I cannot understand why so many people would throw their lives and careers away just to curry his favor.

It just seems bizarre to me. What is this power he has over them? I would think that if I was in their position I would do anything to get away from him.

There are enough people who also despise him who would offer these people jobs if they left. Why do they stay and allow their souls and reputations to be crushed by him?
