What he’s saying: Paul has an “unhinged obsession with me,” and his motive for the hearing is to “get me to say something — anything — that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars unquote,” Fauci said.

“Although it pains me to do so … under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions,” Fauci said.

    And when absolutely nothing happened, did people increase the efforts? No to both, Americans went home thinking they’d done their due diligence.

    The Americans in question

    “Waaaah waaaaaaaaah! If I was in America I’d strap on my political change bootstraps and take my local bus on a 15 hour drive to DC and …?.. until everything was fixed”

    • All media and media delivery platforms are controlled by less than 10 [fascist] men and they’re lying to you. Resistance efforts are growing despite the suppression which makes large scale coordination difficult
    • “Americans elected” is the most farcical shit if you know anything about the operation of US elections since 1999. SCOTUS quite literally declared GWB president in an election that he lost as a kickback for decades of legislative insurgency from the Heritage Foundation. Since then it’s been a free for all: new forms of voter suppression, foreign funding, voting machine shell companies, absurd gerrymandering, mass digital political surveillance, outright false elector conspiracies, etc… But sure, the guy who has 6 solid years of negative net approval rating is who American voters want.
    • “Trump administration is continuing unhindered” is exactly the narrative they want you to eat up. They release a bunch of draconian headlines, break some things and declare victory. In reality their performance has been shockingly poor when compared to the apparant strength of their position. The main success has been lining their pockets; on-the-ground operations slog and challenges in court mitigate or reverse nearly everything else.
