We can only hope…
There is, I agree, ample evidence that JD does indeed “blow with the wind,” but, given his willingness to publicly pressure his ethnic-Indian, Hindu wife to convert to Catholicism (as an example) it’s hard to feel confident that he will blow in a less repugnant direction.

Yup. Sounds like a MAGA shill! Part of their policy to spread their lies about the Science while silencing by all means possible dissemination of the Truth by anyone actually qualified to opine about it.

Finnan Haddie isn’t wrong…but, of course, this is a moment in History — especially at HHS/NIH/CDC — where there is a moral and ethical obligation to speak the Truth irresponsible of “bureaucratic” norms.

I remain baffled by the complete absence of accusations against any specific individuals related to Epstein. How is it that there is the assumption, of hideous crime, and that Epstein was actually convicted (however inadequately) and yet there are no specific individuals accused of the crimes?

Vance lies as often as he opens his mouth. Trump at least (not that I’m defending him) is genuinely pathologic in his inability to recognize the Truth. Vance seems to know he’s lying all the time. He just doesn’t seem to think it matters and our fellow Americans seem to be proving him right so far.

Easier if you do it the other way around: assume he’s lying and fact check to see if he accidentally told the truth.

Well everyone on “our side of the street” felt that way. But, having grown up in rural Upstate NY, he was always (nauseatingly) beloved by nearly everyone I knew in both Life and Death. Same folks who elected Trump twice. Same folks who cared nothing about the facts of his presidency and crimes.

Well…it must be at least a little nerve-wracking, even for veteran members of the Trump/MAGA Cabal to engage in corruption whilst in open public view.
