Dr. Birx--"one of the few Obama appointees to survive in the Trump years"

Last edited Thu Apr 30, 2020, 12:42 AM - Edit history (1)

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.

here almost daily. I wouldn't blame her if she just told trump and here critics to go to hell and walked out.

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.

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.
