Updated in April: Just came across this and oh boy, was I wrong. She's had plenty of opportunities to address the craziness. By now, if she hasn't spoken up, she should have resigned in protest. Disappointed.
She's totally growing on me. I am mostly seeing/hearing people making fun of her scarves. There's a lot more to her than those. I did a little googling after reading the article from the WaPo today. Enjoy.

Thanks for being there, Dr. Birx!

(54,770 posts)here almost daily. I wouldn't blame her if she just told trump and here critics to go to hell and walked out.

(32,626 posts)but I understand the anger. Trying to impart information during a Trump-show has got to be frustrating. Instead of just letting her speak, she is being used to rearrange his false-hoods, so they resemble truth, while not offending. She is being judged, not for her expertise, but for the performance.

(2,343 posts)need to quit attending those trump shit shows and hold their own press conferences. Maybe we can get actual facts rather than his blubbering stupidity.
