I bet all the cable stations will carry it.

This, along with some very decent Judges, who seem to still be for the rule of law there is Hope!

Even Liz Cheney spoke in defense of Doctor Fauci, calling him,” The most Honorable Man,ever!

Do I get the sense that Republicans are turning on Trump, his toadies? Think it is time to clean their own house?

Our Country has fallen so far behind, in debt, now this terrible virus.

I just read posts where an 87 year old woman was terrified, asking people to use masks because she remembered the Polio Epidemic, but made the mistake of blaming Trump for his inaction.

I wish you could have read the vitriol posted at her. Telling her to stay in her house, ranting about Al Gore and climate change.


Others, including yours truly said we need to wear masks, sanitize and be respectful of others.

I have been in the store 3 times. At first people were being respectful ,wearing masks, keeping distance. Now the rudeness and ignorance are showing up. No masks,pushing forward.

I'm thinking that Trump, Redfield, and Azar are going to be listening. I'm guessing everyone of those 3 people ignored Dr. Bright's warnings.

Bright keeps telling them that people needlessly died who might otherwise have survived because of heart arrhythmia but they just won't let it go.

Accusing him of abusing sick leave? Saying “Bad things have been said about you but I’ll leave that for later” to assault his trustworthiness without evidence?

I hope rage gives me strength because I’d like to drag some of these assholes through a COVID ward and DARE them not to take this shit seriously.

Mullin is shameless in insinuating that Bright is somehow not doing his duty properly because his health has suffered from stress recently. Also spent way too much time asking him who is paying his salary, on and on in what is obviously a personal attack. Disgusting.

all about "process" and not dealing with the issue.
It's all about attacking the messenger.

Republicans still searching for that sweet "gotcha" moment.
I'm impressed that the word "shit" is now acceptable language for Congressional hearings.
