It is so disturbing to see inferior intellects acting confidently on their ignorance to destroy the life of someone who is their superior. Rand Paul and those lying cowards following his lead are as evil as every sycophant to be found in the historic record of authoritarian regimes. They are trying to ruin a man for no reason other than to gain a following among the conspiratorial masses and approval from dear leader.
Paul punching up. But let's be honest about what's really happening. Trump has broken every promise to MAGA, other than mass deportations in the cruelest way possible.
Elections are coming. They have to throw some red meat to the base in the colosseum. That's what they live for. They want a sacrifice, and the man who did so much to progress viral research over the decades is the Christian they want to throw to the lions.
One more response from a citizen scientist moron, and I swear....
The dogged persecution and trumped up charges against Fauci are utterly ludicrous and disturbing on so many levels. The actors in this grotesque political theatre are despicable. For the life of me I can't figure out the WHY of it all. What exactly is the goal here? What, exactly, do they hope to gain by all of this? How would its success contribute to a financial or political payoff for someone?
The GOALS involve destroying democracy and creating a government that can have dominance over the people. This is fascism. It is not "coming Fascism" but is here. If Trump and his Republican coterie manipulate the midterms, we will be in Franco's Spain or Mussolini's Italy. This is what happens when we do not reign in those that are overtly pathologic, but far more importantly, we do not perform proper vetting before they run for office. I heard of no report from 2010 to the present day that discusses Wayne Barrett's reporting on the corruption of Trump (and of Giuliani). Barrett's editorials in the Village Voice and his books on Trump were never brought to light by the mainstream media.
We are handicapped by never knowing what lurks in the hearts and minds of men, and women. But when GOD means gold over good, you can bet that such people will enrich their coffers at the hands of weaker people.
Also, the Republican Party and Trump are overt racists. It is the white Christian lot versus the "others." We are witnesses to Gestapo behavior that is EXACTLY mimicking that in Nazi Germany regarding the Jews. However, this goes far beyond one religion, race or creed. The Trump-Republican coalition is striving to have an all-white America. But this includes only those who are obsequious to them. They will go after, prosecute if not beat up or murder, those that they regard are a threat.
First, they came for immigrants of color,
And I did not speak out
Because I am white.
Then they came for the Judges,
And I did not speak out
Because I am not a Justice.
Then they came for the Governors and Senators,
And I did not speak out
Because I am not a politician.
Then they came for the Press and the News commentators,
Rand Paul epitomizes libertarianism in action: a phony unqualified nepobaby using government power to attack a brilliant individual who acted for the common good.
The Roman Empire fell under its own weight. We are not quite reflective of our own overstretch be it in intellectual or empirical terms (epistemology is mythological to Americanists). The ethical and moral failures of our political establishment are epochal in nature. And yet we dance around a parody of power focusing on our political parties and their comedians.
Our foundations can be seen as strong, if the path of Constructive Constitutionalism is taken. But that river runs dry as the formulaic stasis of one or another originalism plays itself out. Progress is seen as a deviant form of left leaning, while Conservatives never read Burke. A culture is dying, while a Civilization is proffered premised on authoritarianism. We really do march blindly to the atonal music of a madman and his sycophants to our own immolation. There is no hindsight from the flames.
"We really do march blindly to the atonal music of a madman and his sycophants to our own immolation" is quote-worthy. Is this your quote? You write very well.
Thank you. Yes, unless I cite someone, what I write is my own. With my background in higher education and research giving credit is ethical and necessary.
There is so much misinformation coming from certain news sources, people, especially in more rural areas where Sinclair and Nextstar control local stations, it’s no wonder people believe Rand Paul is doing what he must.
KY needs to clean up its US government representatives. They have a good governor, i don’t understand why they aren’t replacing the barely alive McConnell and the vicious Rand Paul. KY alone has ruined our democracy.
Anthony Fauci is a hero many times over and small men like Paul cant stand that.
The implications of this “moral” system sounds and looks more and more like totalitarianism. Going after the doctor simply to set him up as an instigator against The People, when he most likely helped save hundreds if not thousands or even millions of lives. I see what’s happening with the Blanche confirmation as well. Just enough collective yeses to confirm. While three MAGA can say no and look like real “mavericks”. There are no mavericks in maga. It’s all a show. A shell. A shill.
"We are living in dangerously weird times now. Smart people just shrug and admit they're dazed and confused. The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic."

It is authoritarianism—it is flagrant fascism. Read Madeleine Albright's "Fascism."
It reminds me of the old joke that ends with "We know what you are. All we didn't know was the price."
"We are living in dangerously weird times now. Smart people just shrug and admit they're dazed and confused. The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic."

Ridiculous and outrageous conduct Rand
The Fauci setup is a little like the Article 58 prosecutions in The Gulag Archipelago
Who gave him the pardon that allows all of this to happen?
Biden.
You show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
- Lavrenti Beria
And now you know why Rand's neighbor broke his ribs.
