The attacks against Dr. Anthony Fauci are the hard right’s latest salvo against the only voice in the Trump administration who’s been allowed to repeatedly contradict the president on everything from the potential of an untested coronavirus treatment to Trump’s unrealistic timeline for ending America’s national lockdown. Fauci has managed to do so by dint of his scientific expertise and by avoiding direct public confrontations with Trump.


The president has punted on announcing a nationwide plan for lifting onerous but necessary stay-at-home restrictions to combat the spread of the virus, saying the governors will have to decide for themselves what to do.

The anti-science mob thinks the best way to tackle a pandemic is to get rid of doctors.
And for some reason Mike Pompeo & Steve Menuchin [sic] are on the chopping block as well.

right around the corner, they had Fox News spewing their hateful/racist rants; and then, along comes Trump who fit their already formed lizard brains, and the rest is history. We will need a couple generations to rid our country of this stain.

I've met some real characters, seemingly smart people, except they're not.

They live in a bubble. A small, scary, Jesus filled bubble. Problem is that they wear these evangelical Jesus blinders that cloud their vision and make them say and do stupid things that could get other people killed.

Sadly. Idiots.

I have been seeing the occasional trump sign in trash set out, so that might be a good omen, although I don't really expect them to develop independent thinking skills or anything. That would be too much to hope for.

As I, too, live in stupidville with a very high crime rate, hunkering down isn't all that different, with the exception that I now fear for my health & life from the virus, as well as violent human garbage, when going out for food. Thanks dump!
