There can never be forgiveness for someone who kisses ass that completely. Never.

(1,683 posts)My sentiments exactly. What the feck did she say? Bloody nonsense.
DENVERPOPS
(13,003 posts)She has been nothing short of the typical Trump kind of woman, an idiotic babbling bullshit weirdo......
Actually, as I understood it, she used to be a pretty good scientist, and then something happened to her.
I'm sure that extreme scarf obsession says something, but not sure what..............
SergeStorms
(20,584 posts)She's getting near the sunset of her career, and let's face it, scientists are well paid. I think she made the decision that lying for Trump would pave the way to a lucrative job with a shady corporation after Trump was out of office. And she was right. But at what cost? All the credibility she gained in the scientific field has been lost, and she'll never get that back. But she has her money now, and I hope that's some small consolation for all she's given up.

(42,033 posts)Was she simply craving the national attention? Is she a weakling? Is she a go along to get along person? Maybe she is all those things. One thing is clear, her reputation is ruined and she did it to herself by being a coward, another thing she also is.
Isn't hard to figure out at all

(1,910 posts)Hubby the lawyer worked for several administrations, kids involved with various government jobs. It was always about playing it to benefit her and her families jobs and how they could position themselves for the future.
So she went along with Trump when she thought the pros for her and family would outweigh the cons. Now she is calculating this redemption stuff is the best course for her and hers.
She is the opposite of what a true health care professional should be.

I hope she fades into obscurity and eternal shame. Hideous mewling simpering suck-ass. You licked trumps boots, girlfriend. And everybody saw it. And watched and heard you say it. And those sound bites and video clips will hang around your miserable neck for the rest of your life. Youll NEVER be able to spin that. Youll never get past that. THAT will be YOUR shameful legacy that you finally woke up about and cared enough about saving your own ass to try to rehabilitate - WAAAAAAAAY too late.
Youre marked, and disgraced, girlie. Youre set for life. Hardly in the way you expected. But definitely in the way you DESERVE.

(12,328 posts)her persona to placate her bosss whims. Her boss was Trump, so she became a Trump sycophant.
And its all on camera. Its a stain she cant remove.
She also seems to crave attention, and she is getting it now through her rehabilitation tour. She reminds me of Sean Spicer. After he was fired, he attempted to contort himself as a sympathetic figure. It didnt work, and he wasnt able to keep up the facade.

at one time she was a respected scientist, but for whatever reasons totally and completely sold out to the Dark Side..........
PatSeg
(53,214 posts)was her primary motive. Before she ever said those ridiculous things about Trump, she irritated me as she seemed to enjoy the spotlight far too much. I was turned off by the smile she wore at the podium while talking about a very serious and deadly pandemic. Her demeanor certainly lacked the gravitas that one would expect from a scientist talking about a highly contagious virus. Deb seemed to be more about Deb than science.
When science gets corrupted by politics, fame, or greed, it is no longer true science.

PoindexterOglethorpe
(28,493 posts)By the time she joined the administration it was public knowledge that he has the attention span of a gnat, never reads anything longer than a six word sentence, and can't remember anything from one minute to the next.
Other than the lack of snark, I'd expect that to have come from The Onion or Borowitz.
niyad
(132,429 posts)exboyfil
(18,359 posts)She was a facilitator. Short of bringing receipts that put Trump and his other cronies in jail, I have nothing to do with her.
Her chance to be a hero was a while ago. She will always be remembered for that interview.
Siwsan
(27,834 posts)I don't know if she is someone he could have fired. I do suspect she is someone who was in fear of his vengeance. I think a LOT would be revealed in the details of that phone call she referenced after she did that informational TV appearance, also referenced by her in the CNN special report.
GemDigger
(4,380 posts)as the 450,000 deaths SHE could have helped to avoid by being brave and truthful of which she is neither.
I try to put myself in her place, but also hope I have a stronger character and sense to duty to the nation.

obamanut2012
(29,367 posts)She sucks, but so do the others, but it's almost always the woman who is the "frontman" for abuse. Same with Abu Ghraib and other scandals and horrible things.
"It's worse because she's a woman" is something I've even seen here. No, it isn't worse because of gender.
Upthevibe
(10,180 posts)For the life of me I can't imagine why people stood by this lunatic.
Friends, family, and I have speculated that the Republicans in Congress may be being blackmailed (possibly by taking Russian money laundered through the NRA
) but we really have no idea why they enabled him they way they did and are still doing so (causing so many to literally die). I have NO specific source or thread to post proof of my pontifications.
I hope the new Dept. of Justice can give us some answers.

(13,003 posts)Maybe, wanting to get into Trump's inner circle, she volunteered to let Lardass inject her with Clorox and allow him to explore her inner body with a light stick????????
Maybe, just maybe, Trump blackmailed her also, threatening to expose her multi year affair with an underage Devil, in the basement of a local pizzeria, and arranged by Hillary and Obama?????????

(14,887 posts)shock as those words tripped over her lips. Nice touch Deb, using the White House as a back drop to underline your complete surrender of what remain of your tattered reputation. As if your silence after the king con's suggestion of injecting disinfectant wasn't proof enough that his "ability to analyze and integrate data" was utterly impossible here on planet 'A'. Good Goddess woman, you willingly committed professional suicide on camera for a 'pussy grabbing' con man. You were just another notch on his 49 inch belt.

autorank
(29,483 posts)... she knew or should have known ... that she contributed to needless deaths by endorsing the lunatic Trump and his murderous policies.
Any prosecutor with a continuous COVID-19 death total could make the case.
#2 on the prosecutors' list should be Rupert and his naughty kid Lachlan and Fox News.

bucolic_frolic
(55,129 posts)Her strategy is communication probing in stream of consciousness. Next rendition, Matt Gaetz will build on that with sick humor punctuated with ideology, followed by Mumbling with Mitch and Mitt. Thus the stage will be set for Trump Renovation. I'm sure Paul Ryan and Tom Cotton are paying attention too.
