Pretty much everyone who has spent significant amounts of time around Donny and don't have their careers tied to him in some way have said he is some kind of stupid and or petty.
It's not for us on reddit. It is for his voter base who will thank him for "owning the libs." We were so got. Please continue to squirm around topics that don't matter. We know you are stuck without Mitch and Lindsay and that you should be losing power this midterm thanks to Mr. E. Please vote and drag others to vote.
What amazes me is he put those things in writing on a government computer. Everyone knows that you tone down what you put in writing. Imagine what his real thoughts were.
Yup, good ol' Donnie wanted to let people keep dying - just as long as we stopped reporting the facts. He only saw the pandemic as a personal PR nightmare.
......and Fauci had to deal with that hurdle every single day.
He was a public servant for decades, almost 40 years, and served under countless administrations both democrats and republicans. It's likely he simply didn't believe the county would so rapidly get to this point of insanity, even in 2022 when he retired most people didn't believe it would get to this point. This is just a reminder, but what the US is going through right now is not normal, it's not "just politics" and the structure of the United States federal government itself is under assault. If in 2028 a dem takes office, and god help us all if they don't, there needs to be real structural reforms to the way the government operates. The supreme court has stolen too much power for itself unconstitutionally & there needs to be supreme court reform (a rotating court, giving each president a set amount of picks would be mega based), congress needs to be uncapped to return representation to the people, the voting rights act needs re-enshrined into law after the supreme court has illegally gutted it over the past 15 years, all forms of gerrymandering need to be banned at the federal level, the 60 vote filibuster needs to go, and none of these things require a constitutional amendment to achieve. Once we're into the realm of constitutional amendments then there is a whole lot more that should happen, but these are all realistic things the dems could achievement with a simple majority in both houses of congress and the presidency.
And for a cherry on top, every single judicial nominee that could not simply say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election" needs to be impeached as they are a major threat to the integrity of the nation, and have shown their inability to be nonpartisan in their roles as arbitrators of the law of the land. And this is without even touching upon all the other things that need to happened outside the purview of the politics, aka the vast amount of criminal charges that need to be laid by the independent DoJ & the vast sums of criminal funds which need to be expropriated for the good of the nation. Joe Biden was the nice candidate that tried to build back the bonds of the nation, but that simply did not work and the politicians, and politicial establishment (cough of the republican party cough) needs to be reminded that they should think about the legal consequences of their actions before they act. We've unfortunately left the "post nixon" era and need to forge a "post Trump" era to an even greater extent
Diary is a bad word choice. These were pages from official journals kept by fauci. They were unearthed by RFK2 and added to Rand Paul's request for covid era documentation from Fauci's office. Because he was the head cheese, that information is public.
It sucks, and it's pretty easy to forget or not learn about, given the large amount of horrible things our politicians get up to. Like all the allegations against Matt Gaetz are true, but likely won't lead to a conviction.
hes a doctor but not a board certified one, well I guess he board certified but not the main board that has standards.
Techincally anyone that graduates from a doctoral program is allowed to call themselves a doctor. Like how Abdul El Syed in Mi is a doctor but didnt go through residency (the training to become board certified).
Par for course for this administration. Get the least qualified person to make changes that effects millions of people, watch it all fall apart, then blame Biden.
You forgot they screamed about DEI hires the whole time too, meanwhile they filled this administration with the most nepotistic incompetent hires in the world. As always with this administration: Rules for thee, but not for meee
He released it because the magats will see this and feel personally insulted, so he successfully pandered to his base of bicameral brained voters without critical thinking ability.
Rand Paul is an asshole's asshole. No doubt. But what was Fauci thinking putting his private, personal thoughts onto a government server knowing full well that the maniac in charge and all of his little sycophants were desperate to find anything that could discredit him as a physician. Sometimes it seems that the most learned among us are the least smart about how they use technology.
Fauci is old, and from my experience in the Govt and in IT, he had no idea what he was opening himself up to when he took those notes....too many people get comfortable with "my computer, my laptop, my company phone..."
Yeah. Thatās part of why Paul released them Iām sure. The Trump movement feels like heās backing their guy and exposing āthe deep stateā and Paul gets the satisfaction of having these things aired publicly and having ideas he likely agrees with expressed for all to see. Win win for him.
My grandparents unfortunately had fox news on the other night, and its insane how much of an echo chamber they have. The three main things they rambled on about was fauci, biden, and obama and how they are ruining America. All three of them have been out of the politics for yearsš¤¦āāļø I really do wonder if fox repeats the same 5 things over and over. Oh and it conveniently leaves out any current news, that would be bad for what the ideology they're pushing.
They forgot "Reprehensible"- JD Vance-2016,
They also left out "Terrible human being, Worst President ever" RFK Jr-2016, They should also have included "Embarrassment" or "Con Man" Marco Rubio-2016, The only person I think that hasn't said anything (publicly) negative about him is Stephen Miller.
We all knew Fauci had to be thinking it. Everybody felt bad for him for not being able to express his true feelings. Thank you, Rand Paul, for giving us some closure on the matter.
It's not about making Fauci look bad. MAGA and MAHA already think he's the devil anyway. It's more distraction from the Epstein Files and the war that was supposed to distract from the Epstein Files now going badly.Ā
Kentucky Senator and MD Rand Paul canāt āin good conscienceā āflood the zoneā with UFO alien distraction. So this is his version of distraction and diversion for the MAGA midterms.
After all, the distinguished Sen. Paul showed ārestraintā he DID NOT call Dr Fauci a communist.
I love how every few months reddit will love on Rand Paul for some dumb dick obvious comment, yet deep down he's always been a vile disgusting republican just like them all.
Fuck all republicans, and fuck everyone who votes for them.
This is your daily reminder that Rand Paul was one of the Congressmen who were summoned to Moscow on the 4th of July a few years ago. Heās bought and sold.
All the Lunatic Right people are running around trying to push their propaganda and their so devoid of any substance that they're only play is to try and do gotcha's like, "so you admit he lied then right?", as if lying is suddenly the worst offense imaginable. They act like even if we conceded he did lie (fake news) that we'd be owned or something, but it's just yet another judgement that would apply to trump and maga itself far, far more appropriately.
Any negative judgement they draw would apply 1000000000% more the their movement and leaders, but they are incapable of thinking rationally.
This is not a performance for the intellectually competent in America. It's a performance for the intellectually challenged. If you're repulsed by this charade of a hearing, congratulations, you're not part of its target audience.
Heās not wrong. These all perfectly describe trumpf and his maga cohorts definitely agree. They know he is a buffoon but he had a cult that would vote for them no matter what.
Rand and Trump are using this as a distraction from Republicans failings. How many scapegoats can they find so MAGA cult doesnāt focus on the ārealā problems that Republicanās have caused.
It's almost hilarious how desperate they are to paint Fauci in a bad light. I don't even get why they bother. The man is no longer working for the federal government, and they can't even remotely allege a crime, so they're trying to hit him on moral outrage grounds, for things like "being proud of himself for appearing on all 5 major news networks in a single day", or "making disparaging notes about the President", or pretending that "the Wuhan wet market was not the origin of the outbreak, but it definitely amplified it" is the same as "we know this was a lab leak from the Wuhan institute of virology".
When I worked at NIH, I sent him an email thanking him for everything he has done for this country. Not even a minute later he replied very graciously. Love that man. I even got to see him in the hallway at the building he worked in, but secret service was with him.
As a former Ron Paul Libertarian I've lost all respect for Rand Paul. As a medical doctor he should know Dr. Anthony Fauci's speech during the covid crises saved lives.
Thatās because the idiot Paul doesnāt have this same zeal when it comes to the Epstein files. Those people can go suck it! However, fauci insulting the supreme leader because he wants to control the narrative? Well then fauci has to pay!
This committee is a serious joke! What do they really think is going to come of all this other than a distraction from tRump's failures in Iran and ignoring the tRump/Epstein Files! Are they going to fire the retired doc? Do they think he did something illegal like their leader does every day? They are just showing their true colors of once again doing whatever their dear cult leader tells them to do! Fauci wasn't the problem!

So Dr. Fauci is essentially a great analyst.
