The Thursday Morning Rant

Yes, the CBD 'Journey Into Subconsciousness' continues.

Little did Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan know that their most famous song would describe the halls of Congress yesterday with the smug prick Another Faucci making a grand standing appearance. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right ...

Paul Orders Fauci Attorney Removed From Hearing
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., ordered one of Dr. Anthony Fauci's attorneys removed from a Senate hearing Wednesday after the former White House chief medical adviser repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during questioning about the COVID-19 pandemic.
The confrontation unfolded before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where the Kentucky Republican had subpoenaed Fauci to testify about the origins of the coronavirus and the federal government's response to the pandemic, reports The Hill.
Before questioning began, Fauci criticized Paul, accusing the committee chairman of being intent on securing his prosecution.

"The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up in his words 'behind bars,'" Fauci said.
When Paul began questioning him, Fauci repeatedly declined to answer, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He gave the same response to questions from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla.
Meanwhile, the hearing briefly descended into a procedural dispute when one of Fauci's attorneys, David Schertler, repeatedly attempted to address the committee without being recognized by the chairman.
Paul said Schertler had been instructed not to sit at the witness table with Fauci and was not authorized to participate in the hearing, reports The New York Post.
"You will respect these proceedings. You were told not to sit at the table. You insist on sitting at the table, and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir. You are being disruptive," Paul told Schertler.
"Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can't do that today. But I can have you escorted from the premises," added Paul.
After Schertler continued trying to speak, Paul added, "There's a row behind you, sir. That's where you were told to sit … and now you're disrupting the proceedings."
"This is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered: for a lawyer not listening to the rules," Paul continued. "That's the way you want to be remembered, and that's what you're going to do."
Paul then directed security to escort Schertler from the hearing room, saying, "Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today."

I do not have enough disgust for the sanctimonious and megalomaniac "Doctor" Fauci and his shyster mouth piece Schertler.

I'll say this for Hitler. He was open and honest compared to Anthony Fauci. And that is my rant for the day.

He certainly benefited, but I always suspected it was because too many minorities were starting their own businesses and beginning to build generational wealth that would make them free from the dem plantation. At the very least, those minority owned businesses were a disproportionately large percentage of the victims of the forced closures.

Rand Paul addressed that exact point, saying that people will no longer "trust the science" nor the government, because Fauci has destroyed it. This could be deadly when and if a new, deadlier disease arises, and it will.

I'd like to point out that I made that exact point before the shutdowns even started.

79 Honestly hauling Fauci in front of a congressional hearing is the least that could be done.

Good on Paul for dragging Fauci through the ringer but...

Fauci should be tried in a federal court. Make the court say the only reason he wasn't convicted for creating COVID and intentionally killing people via his policies and the clot shot because of Biden's pardon

And every state and locality should charge him for every COVID/clot shot death. Again even if every case ends because of federal supremacy let that be the argument - "The only reason Fauci isn't in jail is he was protected by Biden and the Democrats"

81 You all are awful, Fauci is, as all, innocent until proven guilty, he has, as all, a Right to not incriminate himself to the government. The government is, as usual, wicked and overreaching. All of this is true and you know it, if it were not true you would see the Senate actually do something, which they have had the opportunity to do for years now with regards Fauci, but they won't because they all know, as do you, Fauci is a hero.

I think it will be mixed. Red states will be reluctant to listen to the CDC. Many states eliminated what authority their public health departments previously had.

Blue states will use it to clamp down hard. This will further the migration from blue to red, as more voters get red-pilled about what the left truly is.

The public would have been better served to have Brix in there along with a number of NIH weasels who helped shape the "protocols" for the public to abide. People without a pardon. And a lot to lose.

And dragged in a couple governors and mayors who were very aggressive in their crackdowns, along with their police chiefs, state medical professionals and anyone else who was responsible for what came after. And grilled the shit out them for a couple hours.

At that point, Fauci's non-answers would have been so damning I doubt he'd recover.

Lois Lerner set the precedent for this crap. Will Republicans ever learn to ask a question that will be answered by the 5th before they let the scumbag Democrats (BIRM) read their opening statement of lies?

If this sequence is not permitted per some Senate hearing rule, abolish the damn rule! Also, shouldn't Fauci have lost his 5th Amendment right in that hearing by not taking the 5th when he answered "I do" when sworn-in? Republicans still haven't learned to play for keeps in DC. PDT47 excepted (most of the time).

156 I've never understood the adoration many lefties extend to Fauci. He's a f***ing bureaucrat.

Because they know they're viewed as hysterical children, so this is a way of showing they really like and respect science, and therefore aren't the fools they seem to be. They don't love science enough to become, you know, actual scientists, but they f***ing LOVE science. They don't understand that Fauci was primarily a bureaucrat, and one who, in Josh Hawley's words "lost his way" and decided it was all about him.

167 My experience during Covid was quite different.

I didn’t miss a day of work. I went into the office every day and interacted with people and walked around outside.

I can’t imagine being cooped up in my home for two years. I can’t imagine trying to raise little kids during that time. It must have been brutal.

168 >>Exactly. Why were decades/centuries of well established medical knowledge ignored? I'd always thought before that the US medical/governmental system was afraid of another Spanish Flu situation. Turns out they were disappointed when it looked like it wouldn't actually become that.

Prior to the China virus, US policy was no lockdowns. That changed with the virus with almost no questions asked or taken.

Distinguished medical experts like Scott Atlas were marginalized and then deplatformed for disagreeing with Fauci's policies. That is not normal.

Exactly. Single people experienced extended solitary confinement for the crime of being law abiding.

San Franpsycho said that one morning San Fran authorities were saying no shutdown because of the emotional effect. That same afternoon the directive came to shut everything down. From the same people. Never any explanation of what had changed.

The authorities *knew* what it would do and went ahead.

I wish that were enough, but he needs to be very publicly punished, and his family fortunes destroyed.

He destroyed so many lives, so many businesses, so many family fortunes (e.g. family farms that sold, etc.).

178 That video of Julia Roberts squeeeing over him like a middle school girl was unbelievable. I suspect part of what drove Fauci was that videos like this gave him the idea he could have a shot at bedding her. Given her behavior, it was probably a reasonable idea.

I had no idea.This sounds like a Penthouse Letters entry.

In diary entries, Fauci reveled in fawning Leftist college students

Similarly, in another entry, he wrote:

Chris and I (with the detail) went for our Sunday walk on the Mall as opposed to the Canal … we ran into groups of students who had just had their graduation ceremony from George Washington University on the Mall. A few recognized me and started squealing and laughing as asking for selfies, which I gave them. Then more and more people gathered around and soon we had the same sort of crowd around me as has happened at AU …

Another entry from June 2022 recounts the “glorious” time Fauci wrote that he had at College of the Holy Cross, which renamed a science building after him.

“The outpouring of love, affection, and admiration on the part of the students and the faculty at Holy Cross was very moving,” he wrote.

179 "This was basically an honest guy…There is no evidence that he tried to make any money off of it."

--

Hawley laid out just a snippet of plain evidence yesterday, yet Lizard Face refuses to look at it. Fauci's own net worth before and after is plain evidence, yet Lizard Face refuses to look at it.

It's like seeing an abused, bleeding, broken-boned, black and blue wife and a husband with bloody fists and refusing to see the plain evidence he beat her up.

Same. The only thing different was during the peak of the hysteria, NYC and the surrounding areas were ghost towns. It was like walking around in a sci-fi movie where you wake up and find out almost everyone else vanished.
