Hopefully we will wakeup to a hopeful new beginning November 4, 2020 before this tyrant takes us into oblivion.

The Republican Party has become a monstrosity that must be destroyed. Unfortunately, Trump is only the logical outcome of over forty years of fascist tactics employed by the Republican to transform the presidency into a virtual dictatorship ruled in conjunction with the plutocrats. The warning that have been voiced and ignored by the majority have been allowed to become a reality. If we are to survive and recover the Congress must take proper action to assure that this can not be repeated. We can not rely on the good will of those elected to exercise the restraint that relies in censure and removal by impeachment of rogue presidents.

When elected officials put their party loyalty above their duty to uphold the constitution they have pledged to protect only measures to limit the power of the presidency will prevent a reoccurrence what we are experiencing. The power of impeachment is only as reassuring as those who are elected to be people are of honorable character. A fatal flaw of character that the Republicans have not only demonstrated, but flaunted as a virtue.

Join forces with the Biden team and announce that he’s weary of being undercut by this administration and wants to be free to tell the truth to the American public. Then do it. Can’t do any more harm to his career than what dump is currently doing and will cause him to rise in the public’s opinion, I’d think. People are starving for real information.

Time to get out and then set up with media to speak freely to the public with sound information and advice.

Maybe he's trying to avoid further public confusion because Trump would make a political circus out of his resignation.

But Dr. Fauci need not worry about that. People know Trump is a lying POS. They want real info.

He was as "non-invasive" to Trump as he could be without lying for him. Dr. Fauci should have figured out when the virus turned South that he was going to be made the fall guy.

I mean it was obvious from the start when Trump made Pence head of the coronavirus task force. I mean Mike fucking Pence, who was governor of Indiana whose state had the worst response in the nation to the HIV epidemic. Pence refused to get on board with the needle exchange program.

To show what Fauci really said and the context for his statements then contrast that with what Trump was saying in the same context. That would then pick up on Trump proposing that people ingest disinfectant to treat coronavirus, followed by people being hospitalized for ingesting it. Trump has a huge and effecting marketing/messaging/advertising operation in the Whitehouse and the networks not so much. As it is, the networks are enablers for Trump and his people.

No editing or barbering is necessary to show how catastrophically wrong Trump has been from the get-go. Remember how we were going to be down to zero cases by March 1? Or how anyone who wants a test can get a test for Covid-19? Or how the virus was going to just disappear like magic as the weather turned warmer? Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

He will be blamed for the horrible government response. You know they need a fall guy to appease der leader and it will be Dr, Fauci. They are laying the groundwork on right wing media making Dr. Fauci the Villain. In their universe he is the bad man who once at the beginning of the CV they have on video saying don’t wear a mask but then quickly recommended wearing one as things started blowing up on the east coast.

From Tucker Carlson, Mick Mulvaney, Gateway Pundit to some guy at a website called the gellereport (who calls him Deep State Dr. Fauci) the alt-right has been dissing Dr. Fauci all along.

I was just waiting for trump to lay down the hammer on Dr. Fauci. I've been saying for a while now that he needed to get out and start telling the world about the abuses and bullshit that trump and his admin has done to kill Americans.

All they are doing now is putting out the disinformation campaign to make it palatable with more Americans on the center. You could see them setting up Dr. Fauci for the last 3 months.

And it is now glaringly obvious that he doesn't give one shit about COVID-19 and the American people. He only cares about how he looks to his demented hanger-on's.

During a national medical crisis he wants to run out anyone who looks smarter than him (doesn't take much for that) and replace them with incompetent goofball ass kissers.

These are not the actions of a cogent person.

The fact is that Dr. Fauci is already the bad guy on the right.

From Tucker Carlson, Mick Mulvaney, Gateway Pundit to some guy at a website called the gellereport (who calls him Deep State Dr. Fauci) the alt-right has been dissing Dr. Fauci since April.

I've been saying for a while now that Dr. Fauci needed to get out and start telling the world about the abuses and bullshit that trump and his admin has done to kill Americans.

All they are doing now is ramping up the disinformation campaign to make it palatable with more Americans in the center.

In my opinion.
