Birx On Reopening Churches | Talking Points Memo

A good diplomat speaks truth to power, clearly Dr. Birx is incapable of this. She quivers with fear in the face of Trump.

She’s functioning as a yes man with MD after her name. The other day she said CDC was crap because Trump was in that mood. Now she’s shifting the inevitable failure of “re-opening” Churches on them. There is no safe way to gather people together.

No one is fooled by this. Trump’s numbers with the evangelical phonies are slipping. Then this came along. I wonder why? I’m an atheist but I know the Bible teaches God is wherever two people gather to worship Him. Churches are unnecessary. Megachurches are blasphemy.

Oh!

I thought our duty was to protect Donald Trump. My bad.

Mine left teaching to go work on Eugene McCarthy’s presidential campaign (at least, that is my memory).

It’s not just fear, I think it’s also deference to chain of command. Which is another kind of fear, I guess? She served in the Guard and in the regular Army for a few years. She has the rank of Army Colonel. They train you to bow to authority in the military, and she’s not enough of a patriot or a “real” MD to go against the Commander in Chief. Even when he’s an idiot and killing people.

I have zero respect for her. She’s actually harming people with what she’s NOT saying in these interviews, to protect Trump.

Just by staying in his Delaware home office/recording studio/campaign HQ and not saying too much, he’s beating trumPP who will of course continue to shout and say stupid and carelessly play golf and continue to dig his own grave.

Anyone know of any churches offering their buildings to become temporary hospitals? This was done during across the nation during Spanish flu pandemic, in the late 1918-19?

Now I thought he is supposedly everywhere.

But that would make the whole world a church. Hard to collect the tithes that way.

News outlets are obligated to put on admin members, there’s no requirement they speak the truth. She would never give a direct answer if he rephrased it ten different ways. One half assed statement is damning on its own.

Yep, and god invariably gets all the credit when things go well, and none of the blame when they don’t. Exactly the was Trumps supporters treat him.

It’s Sunday morning so CYA incoherent blather and R talking points are the order of the day on TV news talk shows. Straightforward truth is not an option.

I read some of them, knew I couldn’t read all 1,000 them. But one woman of advanced age last words were “thank you.”

There was another person who’d survived the sinking of the Andrea Doria in 1956 when 46 people out of 12 passengers and 500 crew died. I remember my father trying to console me as a little girl about all the deaths.

One of the reasons I dumped the tv. It’s been along time since truth was on the Sunday morning shows. If ever.
