Well, its been nice to know you Dr. Fauci, can’t wait to hear what you really want to say…

Elsewhere, a new phase begins…

Key takeaway, state in question is South Dakota…

About 240 employees are sick, she said, out of roughly 430 active cases in the state. Because of that, she and the mayor of Sioux Falls recommended that Smithfield suspend operations for at least two weeks

Added: The plant is responsible for ~5% of domestic pork production…

Perhaps it’s time for Dr. Fauci to become Joe Biden’s point person on COVID-19. Without Fauci, Dump is lost, but we could still benefit from Fauci’s wisdom and experience.

I just hate the “banned China” argument Trump and his supporters make, as though he cut off the U.S. from China early on and it made all the difference. It is wildly simplistic and untrue.

40,000 people from China, many of them American, came to numerous cities in the U.S. after Trump’s alleged ban–as though only Chinese people could carry the virus. And what kind of scrutiny did the 40,000 get when they arrived? Temperature checks? Quarantine? Nothing, so far as I can tell.

And by then the virus was also circling the globe. Most of New York’s cases evidently came through Europe.

Touting Trump’s “too little, too late” ban on Chinese nationals coming directly from China is insane.

Uses a retweet to communicate his displeasure. A retweet. A coward and a fool.

Trump honestly cannot bear that anyone else be admired, for anything. He cannot bear that someone answer questions according to that person’s own knowledge rather than TrumpTruth. It is not a matter of IF he attacks Fauci, tries to discredit Fauci and/or throws off the constraints that Fauci is trying to impose. It is a matter of when.

Watching that Tapper clip, you can tell Fauci opened with pure White House-approved doubletalk as if he needed to show he understood the instructions … and then his integrity overtook him and he let loose with the truth.

The man is a priceless treasure. If Trump cans him, his influence will only become greater.

Chump cranks up his auxillary LIE machine, when he can’t lie enough on his own.

ETA: You don’t have to read the article to know what Chump is doing is lining up other Media and Influencers who will join Chump in smearing Fauci when Chump decides the time has come.

When are people like Fauci going to learn, you don’t get anywhere bargaining with Chump? Trying to mollify him, allowing him to bully you. It doesn’t save lives. It doesn’t allow ‘adults’ to help shape him or corral him. Everyone, absolutely EVERYONE becomes his enemy. Even his own kids quite often, but reprieves are given to them eventually.

So what these people do who try to mollify him, is they give him unlimited amounts of time to erode THEIR message and twist it to his own. It gives the whole system time to find ways to blame THEM while Chump runs the cameras and mics and rewrites what HE said and did the whole time. If you don’t make a hard stand, and provide a stark and strong opposition to Chump, he uses that as leeway to act like he is being counseled and weighing options (we’ll take a look at that, we’ll see what happens) but his counselors always end up with a big knife sticking out of their back and a big “I’m to blame” sign pinned on their front.

Give him enough rope, and he will hang himself.

I hope that is not going to be a trend. We don’t need meat shortages.
Smithfield is now owned by a Chinese company:

Then known as Shuanghui Group, WH Group purchased Smithfield Foods in 2013 for $4.72 billion, more than its market value. It was the largest Chinese acquisition of an American company to date.

Who Chump? Well he has a genius making sure everyone else dies first. I don’t find any comfort in knowing he will EVENTUALLY kill every single thing he touches, before he finally gets what’s coming.

Real question: if trump fires him, his Government security goes bye-bye, correct?

Biden doesn’t need to be attacking Chump, but he should be spending all his mic time attacking Republicans for being such traitorous cowards and refusing to stand up for Americans and the Constitution and allowing the Crime Spree in the WH.

Yeah Donald. Fire Fauci, give employers permission to call people back to work, then watch Cuomo on the teevee every day explaining to people why the infections and death are climbing again. Yeah, that’ll get you re-elected. That’s the ticket.

Looks like he’s such a coward that he’s sticking his toe into the water to test the reaction he’ll get. If positive, Fauci will have to go. If he gets fired what’s to stop him from really speaking out in other media not controlled by the tRump cabal?
