So, why does Deborah Birx tie a different tablecloth around her neck for each of

[Atticus]

these task force pressers?

[BamaRefugee]

1. She's acclimating herself to the feeling of a noose around her neck when the raging mobs get hold of

her 6 months from now.

[brewens]

2. Might be hiding scars. They had to fix her neck to keep her head from bobbling I think. n/t

[intrepidity]

30. They did a lousy job nt

[brewens]

32. I thought she toned it way down since the first presser with Pence. She was diving me

crazy.

[intrepidity]

33. I had to mostly stop watching

If I can find a transcript, that's my preferred method.

[Walleye]

3. That was distracting me as well

[raging moderate]

4. Probably because her neck just got wrinkled, and she is not used to it yet.

It was a bit of a shock at first, I must say.

[Deb]

5. To protect her face is my guess. They work great when working with children.

[dem4decades]

6. She probably throws up on them after hearing Trump's bullshit.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. lol

?

[dem in texas]

8. Glad others noticed this, too.

When I watched her today I thought how tacky the scarf looked, but I didn't want to be snarky. But I guess I will - She needs to lose the scarf and hire a stylist to advise her on how to dress for TV.

14. What I focused on

was her stellar qualifications. Obama chose her to lead the Ebola crisis

She was nominated by President Barack Obama as United States Global AIDS Coordinator and confirmed by the Senate; she was sworn in April 4, 2014.
In her role as ambassador she has led the organization to meet the HIV prevention and treatment targets set by Obama in 2015 with the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. She says that PEPFAR has cut pediatric HIV infection rates by 50 percent in several African countries.

He chose her because of her impressive background.

Birx served as a physician in the United States Army, rising to the rank of colonel before she retired from military service. She started her career with the United States Department of Defense as a clinician in immunology, focusing on HIV/AIDS vaccine research.
She then served as an Assistant Chief of the Hospital Immunology Service at Walter Reed Army Medical Center from 1985 to 1989. In 1996, she became the Director of the United States Military HIV Research Program at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, a role she held until 2005

From 2005 to 2014, Birx served as the director of CDC's Division of Global HIV/AIDS (DGHA), which is part of the agency's Center for Global Health.

16. All those stellar qualifications down the drain due to a scarf.

But don't let that give you the impression that women are judged more harshly and criticized/mocked more freely than men.

[Atticus]

20. Or---

---it could just be that she was mocked---in a somewhat humorous fashion--- not because she is a woman, but because she is lending her previous reputation to the the narcissistic fool who is responsible for the magnitude of the disaster with which we are now faced.

This woman with "stellar qualifications" has done little else but nod adoringly whenever Trump or Pence spews and excuse, deflect and change the subject when asked tough questions. It matters not who previously nominated her for what position or how highly she was regarded. Her participation in these farcical pressers has been embarrassing and disgusting.

[Merlot]

24. If she's being a tool to trumpft, mock her for that.

That would be fine, but the scarf thing, I'm just not seeing it.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

29. There you go

That’s it in a nutshell

[crickets]

18. Let me elbow my way through the misogyny fest to thank you for the info.

*oof!* Thank you.

[renate]

21. thank you!

It's usually safe to assume that someone Trump has chosen is risibly underqualified, but he must have taken advice from Anthony Fauci this time.

Also, I like her scarves.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

35. Tony Fauci has been around for

a L O N G time. His reputation has been sterling --- 4 decades of service to the public health of this nation.

[VarryOn]

27. Great info to know...

I've found her to be the one person at the pressers I most wasnt from hear from. Seems very competent.

[Greybnk48]

9. To wipe her mouth after licking Trump's boots? n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

10. She's had an extreme face lift. EXTREME, I'm tellin' ya!

Her face lift is wound so tight that she has what appears to be a bullet hole on her forehead under her hair; it's actually her navel. The scarf is for covering up...well, let's say that getting a Brazilian wax didn't cure the problem.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

31. 😆

Hilarious

[rockfordfile]

11. She's a idiot. Keeps smiling at everything the traitor says

[woodsprite]

12. So as not to be a temptation to Pence. nt

[Mopar151]

13. Cuz anyone with sense enough to "have a word"

Is a couple years gone from the White House.

[Merlot]

15. Making fun of women's clothing choices is SO retro.

[demtenjeep]

17. she doesn't want trump grabbing her boobies?

I'm guessing


OR the ends of the scarf are the landing plane for her lower parts?

[hlthe2b]

19. Mucus collector. Given who she's exposed to, I'd not want to wear something that collects Trump's

snot droplets.

[Ilsa]

25. She should talk to Lord Pinkney

about getting a drool bucket.

[maxrandb]

22. Maybe she's trying to do this

https://m.

[2golddogs]

23. Tablecloth

My 80-year old m-i-l wanted to know why the heck would someone wear that, she looks like an old fuddy duddy.😄

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. It's so she won't get a terrible chill standing next to a cold-hearted fool.

KY.................

[Hoyt]

28. I do laugh at that. Apparently, she has been involved in this for a lot of Admins,

including Obama’s, so I’m not too hard on her.

[blogslut]

34. It's a pretty common style choice for professional women of her generation

But sure, make fun of her outfits.

[onenote]

37. yep:

?fit=800,430



?crop=1.00xw:0.756xh;0,0.122xh&resize=1200

[Haggis for Breakfast]

36. WHAT is wrong with most of you ?

WHO gives a FUCK what she's wearing ?!?!?!?

It's the content of what she's saying that's important, here.

When you're finished smearing her for her clothing, objectifying her, and slamming her with your MISOGYNY or PETTINESS, or CHILDISHNESS, perhaps you'll take the time to open your ears and listen to the information and data she's supplying, which is far more important than critiquing her clothing.

This whole posts sounds like something from Brietbart or FOX.

[Raine]

40. EXACTLY

this kind of griping really pisses me off!

[Demonaut]

38. signaling

[Raine]

39. Maybe she's sensitve about her neck, As you get older your neck does too

big fucking deal, don't be so petty!
