GAWDDAM! Just got off the highway listening to the good doctor being as pissed as pissed can be...

[TreasonousBastard]

And none of this anonymous tomfoolery-- he's got a hell of a story and the stones to stand up with it.

Let's see some more of this and get the rest of the country to stop putting up with the Trumpshit.

1. What Did I Miss?

I was watching Pritzker on TV.
Were you referring to Nzeki?

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Rick Bright

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Aha!

I read the piece. Didn't hear him.

[Mike 03]

6. Damn, I missed something good, I can tell. NT

[TreasonousBastard]

7. He's not going anywhere-- you'll catch him soon enough.

[onecaliberal]

2. At least 30 states are open. It's too late.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. It's never too late.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Correct!

[onecaliberal]

9. Is most certainly is for 70,000 Americans and many more to come.

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. 74, 800 total at the moment.

Over a million cases reported.

10. Here's a short summary from CNN

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/05/05/politics/rick-bright-complaint/index.html

Here’s a good summary. Keep in mind the whistleblower complaint is 63 pages of this.

11. Thanks for the link, matt!

13. Thanks...helpful.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Context? Which doctor? When you don't give the name, YOU are making anonymous tomfoolery. . . nt

[NBachers]

14. Well if you don't know then you're just not one of the in crowd.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. You are right. You are so in. . . . nt

[TreasonousBastard]

15. Didn't bother to read the thread, did ya?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Apparently the Original Poster didn't bother to read the Original Post. . . . nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. We shouldn't have to read a thread just to find out

what the OP is referring to.

I'm likewise tired of contextless postings.

Not everyone is watching or listening or reading the same things.

[Amaryllis]

22. +1000,0000. Contextless OPs create an in-group and those who are left out. Very high school.

or even middle school.

[cwydro]

23. I agree.

It’s a thing here lately, and it’s usually the same posters doing it.

Like the other poster said, it’s a “cool kid” thing” I guess.

[cwydro]

24. Why not take the teeniest bit of effort to just put the context in the OP?

Is that not “cool” these days?

[TreasonousBastard]

25. *yawn* It took a while to actually get more of the details. I can't do much background searching...

while doing 70.

So, why not wait until you can, you ask.

Because I was in a moment, an emotional moment making an outburst.

And only a moment later I filled in who it was.

Why is this such a big deal?

[cwydro]

26. Oh, I didn't realize you were posting on DU while driving 70 mph.

Never mind.

Pretty much says it all. Wowza.

[TreasonousBastard]

27. Sometimes I think I should make myself clearer. Other times I say fuck it.

[cwydro]

28. Here's a tip.

Don’t type on your phone while driving.

That can be very dangerous.

[TreasonousBastard]

30. I rarely type on my phone. This is on my laptop.

[cwydro]

32. ...

[leftieNanner]

16. I believe this is about Dr. Bright

And his whistleblower complaint. The details he provides are - shall we say - less than flattering to the administration.

[cwydro]

31. If you read further through the thread lol, you'll see why the OP couldn't post with context...

He was driving on a highway posting on his phone at 70 mph. Shame on us for expecting context in that situation!

Now see? I feel chastened not to have understood that to begin with...

[Pluvious]

35. I agree with you Bernardo - it's just rude click bait to leave out context in the subject title

Others have kindly asked OPs to perform this simple act of consideration.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Hope he stays away from open windows.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

20. ...and small planes.

[Hortensis]

29. Demand CONGRESS take action. That means McConnell.

He won't, of course, because he's been a leader of this cabal all along, but Bright's whistleblower complaint may finally be the vise that catches his nuts.

[TreasonousBastard]

33. This one's really specific. Only heard half of his rant, but he's naming names. And it's to...

a House committee, so it won't get buried.

Ya know, they've got time to impeach again, just before the election. Or even after the election.

[Hortensis]

34. :) And Bright's not acting alone either. Hope, hope, hope.

We MUST defeat the Republicans, before they destroy our power to stop them.
