From then-President Bush*! But thanks to TFG, his expertise and incredible national service is being attacked by the MAGA/TFG-following crowd!

He must have a strong stomach to work with qpuke presidents.

(255,631 posts)4. Well, as we know he is "nonpartisan," and only believes in science
And obviously he was admired and rewarded by "regular" Republicans (from Reagan on) - as he should have been - until the TFG nutjobs took over the party.

He has to maintain that position & working for 7 demonstrates his commitment to this highly principled discipline.

(255,631 posts)6. Well said. He's only committed to fighting disease through science.
Politics aren't on his radar.

Due to a year of no action by the previous administration, now even the vaccinated are able to spread it according to the latest news - thanks to those who refused to get vaccinated in a timely manner, and still are.
