Who else plans to watch the CNN special tonight?

[hamsterjill]

Where the doctors from the Trump Administration sit down with Dr. Gupta. The excerpts are really chilling.

Obviously, I haven’t seen the whole thing, but I seriously hope Gupta asks the question “Why didn’t you SAY anything” to these people.

It’s beyond me how not one would have stood up and spoken out to save lives. I’ll be interested to see the full program.

1. Wow. I guess I'll watch the re-run of the QAnon documentary HBO is running.

Of course, watching that risks raising my blood pressure.

I think the doctors who kept quiet should be made to sit before a review board.

[hamsterjill]

2. I think SOMEONE should have spoken out.

I’ll be interested to see if they say they were muzzled, threatened, what. How was it that they could not have warned the American people? I realize they would have lost their jobs, but none of these people are hurting for money. They were all well-established experts BEFORE Trump hired them.

[Siwsan]

7. He just seems to cast some sort of nefarious spell over the people around him.

Either that or he only chooses people if he can find something in their background to hold against them, should they speak out. Now he's been 'neutered', as far as official consequences are concerned. And I think his cult is starting to thin out, in numbers and ferocity. Not all, of course, but some.

10. If you dont promote trump's agenda he calls you out and his minions then go after you

[hamsterjill]

13. Of course.

But these people were established experts. I would have hoped they would have stood up to being bullied.

[crickets]

22. If they had banded together they would have been better off.

Orange Julius was good at bullying and picking off people one by one, but having to push against a unified front could have been a different situation entirely.

[hamsterjill]

23. Exactly!

Well said!

[blm]

25. ✔️

[intrepidity]

26. It will be part 3, not a rerun, right?

Parts 1&2 were fascinating.

[Siwsan]

30. I'm assuming it's part 3

It is very interesting. And oh so complex.

[hamsterjill]

34. I haven't heard that this is a part of a program.

My understanding is that it’s a two hour special.

[MissMillie]

3. Is there a way to see it if you don't have cable?

I would like to see it.

[hamsterjill]

9. I'm not sure.

Maybe someone more techno savvy than I am can answer. I think you can live stream some things off of CNN, but it may require having a subscription.

I’m not knowledgeable unfortunately.

[marybourg]

15. This:

16. Thank you for that link.

I likewise don't have cable.

[marybourg]

31. Nor do I.

[pidge]

4. Some here are boycotting GA businesses...that includes CNN I would assume.

[hamsterjill]

11. As is their right.

As for me, I’m not boycotting the network. I feel they are typically good about supporting Democratic issues.

[Raven123]

5. Let's have them testify before a congressional hearing. Maybe then i will watch

[snowybirdie]

6. No

Why would I want to watch them try and rehabilitate their reputations? They failed and people died.

[spanone]

8. I Know enough watching them squirm and lie for trump for a year.

Don't believe redfield or birx or any of them. were they lying then or are they lying now? probably both.

[Fullduplexxx]

12. The rehab of the failure team? No

[hamsterjill]

14. Have you seen the excerpts?

I’m not sure rehabbing is the purpose. I’m sure THEY have that intention, but I’ll wait to see how Gupta handles them.

[malaise]

17. Me

Rec

[Crunchy Frog]

18. I'm planning to watch. nt

[wryter2000]

19. What time?

Sounds interesting.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. 9-11 Eastern. nt

[Hortensis]

21. I'll pass but check on DU's observations.

I think they're extremely unlikely to discuss Trump/Republicans' decisions to block and refuse population awareness and mobilization, containment, control, mitigation, provider needs, research, etc x10, as long and much as possible.

Trump wants credit for "Warp Speed," but he and they knew before January. Why did they encourage people to spread the virus for months and wait until May, with deaths headed for 200,000 and research underway for months in many places around the planet, to provide government support to the search for a vaccine?

Maybe they will crack open the door to this, though, and I'll read it here first.

[Talitha]

24. Count me in.

Even if it turns out to be a disappointment,
at least I'll have given it the benefit of the doubt.

[intrepidity]

27. Haven't heard about this

is there a link describing it? Thanks for the heads-up.

[hamsterjill]

35. It's being advertised heavily on CNN.com

Sorry, I tried to post a link and my phone isn’t cooperating.

[Demsrule86]

28. Not interested in anything Trump enablers have to say...blood on their hands.

[Stinky The Clown]

29. I will tune to CNN from 8 to 10, but only for Stanley Tucci in Italy sampling food

[Totally Tunsie]

36. Not tonight, Stinky.

His 6-part series ended last week. It'll be back next season.

ETA: Just announced by CNN, next Sunday night starting at 9:00 p.m., they are running a 6-hour marathon of the entire series.

[applegrove]

32. I am afraid i would seethe cry.

[brooklynite]

33. Not me...

I don’t need to be told things about Trump that I already know…..

[malaise]

37. On now n/t

[Talitha]

38. I gave it my best try, but had to turn it off about half way through.

I suffered through the clips when Captain Clorox was lurking in the background as someone else spoke at the podium. But when they started showing that monster speaking, I turned it off.

[MustLoveBeagles]

39. I'm watching it now

[hamsterjill]

40. Okay, since I started this...

I watched it. My opinion?

It sure is a sad commentary that so many people died because a group of medical people would not stand up, speak out, walk out - whatever it took - to get the proper message out.

I watched it in the hopes that they would finally call Trump out. I didn’t think they did. There was innuendo that they felt he was the problem, but nothing clear and direct. They all complimented Pence. Birx has obviously been very affected by her role, but stopped short of saying she was threatened. She said the message she delivered to individual states (via flying in Pence’s plane) was not allowed to be delivered nationally.

Fauci, who I have supported through all of this, even came off nonchalant in my view.

Bottom line: I reassert fully my gratefulness that Joe Biden now occupies the White House. Dr. Fauci is 80 years old and perhaps it’s time to start entertaining the idea of who will replace him.
