Dr Fauci is a national treasure and I applaud him for standing up to Rand Paul and these republicans who forget the millions of people who did not die because of Dr Fauci’s expertise.

We need to remember that COVID-19 was a novel virus and much of the protocol was “a learn as you go” situation. God bless Dr. Fauci for doing his very best to keep Americans informed and protected!

It's crazy that people don't understand science yet feel justified in crucifying those who do the best they can based on their vast knowledge and experience in a rapidly evolving public health emergency. This is all a disgraceful witch hunt to satisfy a personal vendetta while deflecting attention from much more critical and current crises.
If he saved lives he wouldn't have needed a pardon. If he saved lives he would have answered the questions. He has a pardon so no chance of prosecution. More people died from his actions than from covid

And he had to back date the pardon to 2014 sad

This is you being angry buddy.



Again, I am asking you. Are you okay that Iran is hanging at least 5 people every week for protesting?

Why are you not happy with Tinubu because the movement we made from Goodluck to Buhari was bad, then Tinubu came along? By your logic, change should not be considered. We should all be okay with the Ayatollahs killing people by the thousands
My comment. Doesn’t show I was angry with the few Iranians who were jubilating.. You read people’s comments upside down to support your course..

I only stated an obvious trend and provided a reminder from lessons learned..because that is exactly what astute decision makers must do before making future decisions..weight the risks against intended benefits.

My comment in no way suggests That I was angry at the Iranians who were jubilating.. I only expressed concern for them as to what the future of that country would be after the invasion of the US, of which we are seeing today.

The change you seek for is a change of regime by external forces through violence and bombings. Would you support a coup in Nigeria today, instigated by external hands to chase Tinubu away? Or would you accept that external forces like Russia, China and other nations invade the US to remove Donald Trump because he is a wild orange toddler who has turned the whole world upside down?

Now that the US has attacked Iran.. is it a better country? Has it attained eldorado? Has it Mr man?

Right. Because we are dealing with a very rational president who wouldn’t go after people for hurting his emotions.

When it comes to Epstein They only seek documents where Trump can be found guilty of being a pdf. Nooby else only Trump. Epstein to them is only about Trump

When it comes to Covid-19 Trump is the one to blame ,despite having Dr Fauci as special advisor to his WHCorona virus taskforce.

When it comes to Iran they support a regime that murdered over 40,000 of their own and is still executing prisoners today . The only crime they see is a school that was obviously bombed by mistake. They would be delirious if Iran landed missiles on the Anseican continent,or if Iran caused casualties to American troops .

I never thought matters would get to that point where they now support socialism despite it's tried ,trusted and failed model societies.

We will review their happiness status in the next few years to come.

Iran is hanging people every day; they killed thousands. Should they be allowed to continue the killing? We did not hear you say pim before the US and Israel took out the ayatollahs.

The Iranian people, who are desperate for freedom and risk their lives every day, even as they are being hanged, want this; it is you does not know what they are going through that is making noise.

Look at you, angry that they killed a monster.

bayelsaowei:
Americans die everyday , every month, every year in thousands by gun violence fueled by the greed of its politicians. Some are dying presently by the lack of health care, with Medicaid funds re-directed to fight wars And you think the Ayotella is the only worst human on earth? You think DJT and Netanyahu who are war mongers and who don’t give a hoot about human lives are deserving of breathing? People who will make money at the expense of the lives of children and innocent humans. Sub-humans who would cover up pedophilia and also bomb little innocent girls. You think these humans are better than Ayotella morally?you think Ayotella deserves death but then your immoral, blood thirsty insatiable gods deserve everlasting life?

I will do a review of the happiness of the Iranians in the next one year. After action review is what will reveal if these strikes were a charade to massage the egos of certain people or Infact an act of goodwill. We all together will assess and confirm if the lives of the Iranians would become excellently superb than what they know as at today.
Iranians know it is a long-term struggle, na you wan do assessment in one year.

See the image below,

Can they hop on a plane and fly into Iran?

Can they?

They haven’t seen anything yet. They should pray they have a country to return to.

Where does it say he can't nominate a person who is a friend. He nominated traitors like bill Barr and Jeff sessions before whose intentions were to slow walk everything till the next election
Todd Blanche is a democrat by the way.
I'm of the opinion he's another Bill Barr until he proves me wrong by raiding the anti Trump nerve centre at some Kalorama residence.

You demonized it and turned it into what it wasn’t. No one believes anything you guys say because you don’t even know what you’re saying half the time.

debatable but I don’t want to drag you down a knowledge path that will confuse and discombobulate you.


laughable 🤣
I've never been against a COVID vaccine per se.
I trahed it because I felt there was something about the way it was brought into the market. Don't vaccines take over 20 years. Thank Trump for that.
Operation Warp speed cleared all bottlenecks previously needed to deliver a vaccine to the market.
Pfizer tests had been positive by Sep 2020. They don't offer hope , they keep it themselves.
After Biden is declared the winner , Pfizer through Fauci happily broke the news. If they had announced two weeks earlier it would have enhanced Trump votes. Within 2 weeks they are already exporting it.
They still won't confirm or deny there are side effects. Infact RFK Jr says the vaccine injured Fauci .
They lied about the efficacy of the vaccine. They mandates people to take it ,thousands lost jobs .
Fauci wasn't sure about levels needed to achieve herd immunity, he just blurted out figures.
Medicine is a proffession that relies on utmost trust.
You may have studied the evolution and production of vaccines especially the mRNA vaccines .

You ramble a lot of right wing jargon. I will not waste my time responding to all of them.

But an employer has the right to terminate your employment if you pose a risk to other employees or clients.

Anyone who refuses to vaccinate for a contagious illness is a risk to others. Yes they have the right to refuse a vaccine but other people do not consent to getting infected by them. Your right ends where the wellbeing of another person begins.

The best solution is to terminate the employment so that everyone can keep their right. The employee’s right to refuse a vaccine stays honored and their colleagues can also keep their right to not be exposed to a preventable illness.

Everyone wins.

Agree with the wellbeing of others Your basic rights of movement are removed if say you have infectious disease.
Mandates like social distancing and masking were not based on any scientific evidence.Fauci conjured it up.
Every vaccine has side effects to a certain extent. They covered it up , there are people who are allergic to injections. For them it was worse than jailing an innocent person.

How does one reason with someone who thinks social distancing and masking are conjured up preventative measures? How?

You don’t think keeping one’s distance from an infected person and covering up your mouth around others can limit the spread of disease?

If you really truly think this, you’re actually beyond help.

Why don’t you go to a hospital filled with sick people, hug the infected patients and have them breathe in your face since it’s all conjured up?

My Gosh. your deliberate choice to toe the line of incredulity is truly truly exhausting. Lord have mercy.

I don’t click on any links you guys share on here. You should know that by now. Don’t share a link and ask me to go read it. I don’t trust any of you chronically online fishers.

As for social distancing, it is a proven method to mitigate spread of droplet borne diseases. You guys often choose to extract the least bit of knowledge from an opportunity where you could learn so much. And then refuse to expand your worldview because you’re fine with sticking to whatever confirms your bias.

Social distancing works. The scientific discussion is what amount of social distancing is adequate. That’s where the 6-feet rule comes in. Some scientists are not sure if 6-feet is enough. While some think it’s adequate.

Depending on the size of the causal organism and their air buoyancy, some might travel further than others in the air. That’s what he means by the 6-feet is not a magic rule. It doesn’t mean he recommended social distancing out of thin air. In fact the more distance the better.

A true scientist who is not ego-driven learns from changing circumstances and updates their behavior and recommendations based on it.

IF he was initially against masking and then changed his opinion, it’s because he reviewed the studies of fellow scientists, the mechanism of spread and realized masking was good. At first he told people who were rushing to the stores to hoard masks and PPE not to do that because it could lead to a shortage for healthcare workers dealing with actually infected people.

It wasn’t until they studied the virus more and realize asymptomatic people could spread it too, did he change his opinion and recommend universal masking. And that was the appropriate thing to do.

That’s the mindset of a scientist. Their recommendations are not based on ego or rooted in stone. It evolves with studies and evidence.

I can tell you for free that the more distance you put between yourself and a sick person, the better for you. Take the free advice and keep yourself safe.

If you think it’s not science-based, go to your nearest hospital, stand by someone with tuberculosis and have them cough in your face. Until you’re willing to do that, anything you are saying is ludicrous and not worth considering.

I post links to buttress my points.
I have a feeling social distancing works but it's Fauci who testified to a committee of Democrats and Republicans.
Any argument can be validated from research data be it pro or anti.
I try my level best not to post political pundits unless they are reporting verbatim.
I'll usually italicise any comment that's relevant or from an AI summary or the pundits point of view.


If it's a .gov and not from a democrat I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by cococandy(f): 11:10pm On Jul 31
If you “have a feeling” social distancing works, why do you think Fauci made it up?

You allowed party politics rid you of your god-given common decency.

The whole time you’ve been spreading conservative misinformation and dangerous rhetoric that endangers people’s lives, you didn’t actually believe in what you were saying.

At the height of Covid, people like you spread so much misinformation that others died listening to them. And you’re still not backing down despite knowing better.

And for what? Just for talking points ? Mtchew
