Birx is "devastatingly worried" that Vanilla Isis militiapersons will...

go home, infect their grandparents--who will die--and that then said Isis-persons "will have to live with it for the rest of their lives." Well, at least THEY will be alive. Who cares about the fate of others?

As per her Faux news interview.

Sure, she is trying, but she seems to have a remarkable and instinctual faculty for offering up appeasing and mollifying messages.

she's afraid of losing her job or she's a closet MAGAT..instead of speaking truth to power she's cleaning up after trump...instead of telling trump he's full of crap she does her "I understand what you're saying and you may be right, on the other hand...blah blah blah"...at this point I wouldn't trust her with a bandaid...

she may have shown a touch of horror when trump suggest ingesting bleach and injecting disinfectant but I didn't hear her say "are you out of your fucking mind?!!"...she sat back and nodded...at this point in time when we really really need a scientific roadmap she's bowing to Trump's "I'm a stable genius" bullshit..this is her moment in time and she's nothing more than a bobblehead...

other than the Queen/Bowie lick and the words 'ice ice baby'.

A man of your stature and musical acumen should have no recollection of anything else about that song.

those vests look, I'm guessing there is an unrepresentatively high occurrence of heart disease and diabetes among these guys. I bet a lot of them won't have to live with the guilt all that long.

They’ll sell their houses and buy more guns. They probably WANT the old folks to pass on. Less responsibility for them. These people are basically evil.

They'll say that their Grandparents were just old, and the Virus stuff is all a hoax.

Cult Members are in this for the long haul. A few family deaths is worth it for the sake of saving the Cult Leader.

It won't be just their parents and grandparents dying. And I'm fine with that.

I wonder if she's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

that he has NO connection, whatsoever, to the "Vanilla ISIS".



I like his DIY shows, but have to mute when he and Wes lapses into rap/hip hop. Lame.

Pretty sure this narrative will sink the unsinkable Orange One. He needs the older vote, and telling them they are not only expendable but a nuisance to be vanquished isn't likely to help his cause.
