Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday expressed concerns over President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team hitting major snags amid President Trump’s refusal to officially concede the election as COVID-19 cases surge nationwide.
With what amounts to a concession by Trump today and even Republicans acknowledging Biden needs access, I think Emily Murphy’s current intransigence is untenable and she’ll fold this week, possibly as early as tomorrow. She should still, however, be held in low regard.
ETA: And once Murphy opens the checkbook to Biden, the Trump Administration is finally acknowledging they lost, no matter what they may say publicly.
In this particular case, touching this baton should be avoided at all costs. Anyone remember cooties?
“Fauci” is the Sicilian word for “sickle”.
Nominative determinism for an epidemiologist.
This is a tactic Trump and Republicans are using to allow them to attack the Biden administration as being incompetent. Yet another instance of goppioni (GOP Partisan Interest Over National Intetest)
I can’t wait to see the Trump counterattack. Pathetic little man.
I’m not sure how Fauci remains so calm and rational, I’d be screaming my head off.
I know I am
“But the last time the president was physically at a task force meeting was several months ago.”
Note that Dr. Fauci qualified his statement with “physically.” That’s because, even when Chiselin’ Trump did attend physically, he was never there mentally.
My regard for anything or anyone Trump does not come up to low.
It’s no of their tried and true plays from their playbook.
the sitting POTUS also seemed to demand a refund
Not sure what that means, but I demand a refund, too.
I want my country, my life and the last four years back.
Yes, but it’s been replaced by the cheese touch.
Yea Trump just phoned it in most of the time, that or he played on his phone until someone mentioned his name.
The level of institutional knowledge Fauci has is perhaps irreplaceable, especially in a pandemic situation.
I suspect the only reason Biden didn’t name him to his Covid task force is to protect Fauci from the mad king’s insanity. Undoubtedly, he will lead our counterattack in January.
You made me curious so I looked it up to see if it’s actually a word in Italian, and it is.
translation of fauci – Cambridge Italian–English dictionary

Of course. As a child I was sure I would die from a cootie infection. “Don’t touch that, it has cooties!”
Then there was the game - something like Mr Potato Head???
When I was a kid you could only catch cooties from girls.
Trump does not put the interests of the country first, he selfishly and foolishly puts himself first. He is a megalomaniac, he is a damned fool.
Haha I remember that. (Dimly.)
