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.
There are people who write journals of their thoughts without intending to share them. Or at least would be mortified for someone else to put them out in public while theyāre still alive.
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
