MAHA isn’t a wellness movement. It’s a suicide pact, run by people who are either sociopathically indifferent to the death toll or willfully blind to it.
Republicans just look like fools. It's like an evolutionary inflection point and they are the Neanderthals, holed up in the last cave they can find. They're clinging to their precious pedophilia and their racism and their rapey sexism and their fairy tale stories about how men who beat their wives and children will all earn a special home in the sky, so long as they follow their greedy prosperity gospel. Outside the cave, higher forms of life are adapting and learning and living in the real world. I'm almost embarrassed for them, but I'm too busy laughing at how finished they are. Excited to see the GOP die off as a party. It's beyond time.
There is a lot to hate when I look at what this regime has done to our nation. But little has made me as genuinely furious as what is being done to Anthony Fauci - for the sin of trying to keep people alive. You have done a brilliant job of explaining the dynamics of this horrific situation. As for Ron Johnson, I am a Wisconsin resident and he embarrasses the hell out of me. The only thing missing from his publicity photos is his tinfoil hat.
We have witnessed a great injustice against Dr. Fauci to cover the tracks of Regime Leader Trump. MAGA Congressmen and their supporters in the field, including on the Left, should start wearing headbands, like the Japanese Kamikaze pilots, as they go on their suicide missions to keep Regime Leader Trump in place. These are distracting efforts from the real fact that Regime Leader Trump, Order of the Hero of the Epstein Files, is failing badly and visibly at everything he has set his hand to. These are people Democracy must come to some reconciliation with, must find a way to reintegrate without being poisoned in the process.
I, for one, am sick of having republican problems and abuses dropped on the collective 'we' as though all of us are culpable for spreading the lies about COVID-19 and its treatment. The truth is that MOST of us learned exactly the right lessons about COVID, its handling and its treatment. Can we, for ONCE, put the blame where it lies? On republicans! Not 'we.'
Dr. Anthony Fauci is a lifelong public servant who deserved the award given to him by DONALD TRUMP, no less, for his steady, careful handling of a pandemic that Trump and his MAGA cult botched.
Thank you for your discussion of the Senate’s disgraceful treatment of Dr Fauci. If our democracy survives this test, we’ll have to deal with Congressional Republicans who have disgraced themselves and our country.
One can only wonder what a Trump diary would reveal… Wait, we don’t need one. Every time he opens his mouth he reveals just how wildly distorted his interior world is. Yet not one Republican will talk about that.
This article is correct. The Fauci hearing was never about COVID. Instead it is yet another demonstration of the Trump-driven Republican obsession with indicting SOMEBODY on ‘the other side’ for SOMETHING, ANYTHING in revenge for all that ‘lawfare’ against poor old Donald - the eternal innocent victim.
You captured everything that is going on so perfectly. Thank you! We need a voice in this massive tornado that speaks the truth and speaks loudly over the roar of the incompetent.
As I read I was struck with how much it feels like theater. They are creating this dramatic theatrical production. Trying to create an unhappy ending. All they need now is to add in an orchestra that will pound on those large belly drums whenever they ask a question so that the audience can gasp waiting for the answer to their profound questions like "what color is the tie you are wearing."
It's ludacris and instead of being something dramatic they have turned it into a comedy. Rand Paul has had it in for Dr Fauci for years. Never mind, like you said, Trump disingenuated the entire COVID affair throughout and gave negative misinformation while people died all around him.
He did not care, he just wanted to be in control of it but he failed miserably. And when he began to fail, he does what he always does, finds a scapegoat! I think Dr Fauci has 54 years with the NHI and Trump could not even get out of high school or college without his father writing a check.
Not to mention RFK who has absolutely no medical background, certainly doesn't understand science because he failed it several times in school, and he's going to tell US what is medically sound.
In this particular circus, there is no Master of Ceremonies. Only a massive horde of clowns that don't have a clue what they are doing except to diligently follow behind the god king and do anything and everything he says. To distract the American people from the fact that the Republicans are losing 3 months ahead of the midterms. The stats say the Democrats are 11 points ahead. We still have to keep fighting! We have to keep the pressure on.
It's a distraction. We are on to them. The sooner they realize that, the better for them, otherwise their party will fade into the woodwork and be no more. I was a straight Republican voter for 50 years.
My family was Republican but when Donald Trump showed up, I could no longer look myself in the mirror and be happy with what I saw voting for a party that had become controlling, selfish, divisive, hateful, and completely devoid of centering their hearts upon upholding our laws, constitution, and democracy. I will never go back!
I just subscribed and I look forward to more informative pieces that give me a continued understanding and knowledge. A foundation to stand up, never look back, and never stop speaking out against the atrocities that this Republican Party is dumping on our beautiful country and people. We deserve better!
Does ANYONE remember Trump giving COVID19 Medicine to Putin! And Putin said, don't let the AMERICAN PEOPLE know about this they will, HATE YOU! Trump said I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! there you go AMERICA ✅️⚠️🇺🇸 and he STILL DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT AMERICA OR AMERICANS! NOTHING HAS CHANGED but the game!
The more I learn of Rand, the more I understand the neighbor who beat the crap out of him. He is an appalling human in the Senate. One of many, sadly. Dr. Fauci should be lauded and rewarded for his diligence and following the science for a cure/immunization. But the MAGA have never seen a vaccine they can’t disparage without any attachment to reality, science, or recall of life before vaccines.
There is a case to be made that Trump and Kushner should have been charged with manslaughter over their deliberate mishandling of the pandemic. It wasn't just ignorance, it was deliberate or do I misremember Kushner's counsel to Trump that it was only affecting blue states so nothing needed to be done? And when this current nightmare is over the incoming administration owes it to America to throw RFK Jr. and the quacks he has surrounded himself with in jail pending trial for causing the unnecessary deaths of babies and children. Sadly, they will slither away, back into the comfortable arms of the MAHA loonies who eat up their bullshit as if it were chocolate sundaes.
Thank you for the article, Susan. Dr Fauci deserves a hero’s reward for saving as many lives possible. MAHA used their political power, to make sure he could get hurt by the questioning by Senator Paul and Senator Moreno. I saw RFKJR’s wife there at the hearing to make sure MAHA suicide pact would be carried out. I was proud of Dr. Fauci pleading the fifth amendment to the constitution. I doubt Senator Paul can make a case for Dr. Fauci to be prosecuted by the Congress and Senate. The MAHA lost that argument.
So well said!! Definitely. They're complaining about Dr Fauci pleading the fifth 100 times when Donald Trump pleaded the fifth 450 times in his civil fraud case. Rand told Fauci what he was doing was punishable by law. It was illegal and he could be put into prison. Trump committed the dirty deed first so if Fauci goes then Trump goes!
Worth pointing out the lab leak theory has always looked pretty reasonable given it was *that* wet market. Plus lab leaks have happened before. Britain has had I think two?

Trump = The Ultimate Enshittification of the United States.

OK so there’s absolutely loads - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity_incidents - so unless you think the Chinese government is wildly more competent than everyone else it’s certainly a reasonable theory.
