This memoir sounds fascinating. I feel so bad that Trump and his gang of moron lickspittles turned Fauci into this lightning rod for controversy. I'll be interested in hearing his own words.
FERAL POSSUM LIBELS! Possums may be a weird assemblage, and one of Nature's more whimsical creations, but an unrelated possum will take care of orphaned possum babies. Unlike Republicans.

I'm Australian, this is daily life. But yeah, not appropriate language from the President of the United States of America to a top government official.
I think it's interesting how the Air Force leadership always wants to get rid of the A-10 for much more expensive planes that aren't versatile, cost billions more, and can't do close air support.
The other branches love the A-10 and don't care for the top gun doesn't work bullshit that makes the Air Force hard.
An Army friend of mine said the same thing about the Hummer - the Chevy trucks they used performed much better, cheaper and could fit in the smaller European streets.
Lesson learned from the COVID pandemic: asking Americans to modify their behavior for the common good is political suicide. If this bird flu thing takes off, we are all dead.
And he is determined to strike in America this Fall. The counter is us, each one teach one and get them to the polls. Have your voting plan together as well, www.vote.org because there's always suppression out there.
Well, Bush Sr. wasn't a total loser, having flown torpedo planes in the Pacific. But he was the personification of dweeb and not especially distinguished, to say the least.
Bush the Elder seemed a decent chap — as decent as an ex-CIA director can be — but as a single-term blinding Five Rob Roy hangover from Reagan, I discount him. To use his own words: “Nah gonna doit”. Latin? For something?
As I have pointed out befrore, the New York Times pols are done in concert with Siena College, which is a rightwing school, as they say is rooted in its identity as a Franciscan and Catholic institution.
They do have a minor in Communications with a Journalaism track, but their main tie to jousrnalism is the scam polls that they and the NYT put out. They CANNOT BE TRUSTED
Eh, there are HUGE problems with the methodology and reporting of polls right now, so it's not really worth focusing on them. Let's all just focus on getting our butts to the polls, and getting good information out there. :)
"The problem was that what Fauci said to that journalist got misreported and twisted on the Internet as Dr. Fauci says the covid vaccine only offers protection for a short period of time. Naturally, the feral possums of the Right — and we’re including multiple elected officials here — went nuts."
Has NO ONE ever had a flu shot? Or been vaccinated for school? JFC
I worked in the administrative offices of a teaching hospital for several years.
My boss was a VERY dedicated doctor who was also a very kind person.
One person was being a total Karen -- with some justification, since her 8 year old kid was the patient, and she wanted to make sure everything was as it should be -- about tests, medications, procedures, etc.
He tried to explain it as carefully and patiently as possible, and finally said, "Ma'am, NO test is 100% perfect all the time. NO medicine is 100% perfect all the time. NO procedure is 100% perfect all the time. Anybody who tells you otherwise is not telling you the truth."
Well, it wasn't voodoo when Trump was going to get all the credit for the vaccine. But when it was clear he shouldn't get all the credit, something changed.
Poor Dr. Fauci having to put up with all this. Then again, all the people he helped with fighting AIDS are people despised by the right. Argggh!
Sounds like how a short-fingered vulgarian would talk

I have always considered "fair dinkum" profanity.
did Tony Robbins make Smelvis walk barefoot over heated rocks?
The F-35 is okay, I guess, but it's got nothing on the Fucking-A-10 Warthog.

What about those robo-machine guns in The Matrix? I don't know the exact specs, but must be somewhere around a gazillion rounds a second.
OK now I will have to cut back on my usage of fuck every 5 words or so.
This might just be just the thing to motivate me.
I don't want people to think I am emulating Trump.
I thought the same earlier today 😊
Lesson learned from the COVID pandemic: asking Americans to modify their behavior for the common good is political suicide. If this bird flu thing takes off, we are all dead.
And this could apply to *any* sort of national crisis.
Which is why we got squat for EVs here and they are everywhere in Portugal; BMWs, VW IDs, Audis, MBs...
President Klan Robe, ever the vulgarian.

Mount up!
The man is a demented moron and a pathological liar. Someone should either write a book or make a movie called "Donny's World".

We all lived more or less near each other when I was growing up.
One day, I was walking past my aunt and uncle's house, and Cousin Garlic was out front trying to fix his piece of crap car.
I was like, "What's the matter with your car, Cuz?"
He gestures with exasperation and yells, "THE FUCKIN' FUCK WON'T FUCK!"
The sad thing is, I knew EXACTLY what he meant.
During apartment living, I amused myself with the couple next door who could use that and SHIT as a noun, verb, adjective and adverb. Constantly.
The French do the same with "merde".
I fucking hate it when the fuckin' fuck won't fuck.
gotta fix the fucker.
As long as the fuckin' fuck doesn't fall the fuck off!
At least Trump had the two synapses firing that told him firing Dr Fauci would make TRUMP look bad.
Republican Presidents : B-movie Actor; Delinquent Son; Felon. Democratic Presidents : Rhodes Scholar; Constitutional Scholar; Career Politician. 🤔 Which party to choose...

Don’t forget the nuclear submarine officer.
Do Trump's kids! Jr alone would be worth the price of admission.
Jr. is proof that you can get pregnant from a toilet seat.
Or the clap.
"I got it from the toilet seat,
I got it from the toilet seat!
It jumped right up [zip!]
and grabbed my meat!"
“…grabbed my meat” doesn’t explain how Mr. Trump got it…
THAT is very phunny!
I blame reality TV. Everything is entertainment now when it should be the opposite.
“Everything I know I know because of Real Housewives of the Mesozoic…”
The party of the common man, naturally. Don't want those elitists in charge! They don't understand real America.
You mean ‘Murka? Odd Glory U.S. spells “us” ‘Murka?
Ugh, and yet this fucker is still leading Biden in most polls. WE (Americans) are the fucking stupid ones.

Also, Sienna is full of groomers.
I did not know that, but I'm not surprised.

Yeah, I’d like to see the Venn diagram of likely voters, likely Democrat voters, and people with landlines.
You should throw Life Alert in there too. "Help! I'm white & I can't shut up!!"

Everything is about absolutes with them. And, there are no absolutes about anything. They still cling to a binary universe in an analog world.
Do they ever give them in MAGAland?

The right-wing paranoid delusion about the Covid vaccine was that it was some new gene-altering voodoo that wasn't a vaccine.
That would put microchips in us and control our brains etc. etc etc. I remember
Well, it wasn't voodoo when Trump was going to get all the credit for the vaccine. But when it was clear he shouldn't get all the credit, something changed.
Something changed when his cult members started dying and he realized some of those cult members actually VOTE.
Yeah, like how the GOP is trying to convince people that mail-in ballots are okay now that it's biting them in the ass.
Good luck trying to un-brainwash those people.
Yep. Once the horse is out of the barn, you can't exactly coax it back in.
Not any more.
