There are two legal systems in this country now. There are seemingly at least 2 different societies that people are living in. There’s the one that is in touch with reality and takes all evidence that can be verified into account and one that does not. To be clear, this isn’t a political statement. This isn’t a declaration of how bad democrats are and how victimized republicans are.

Having engaged in the obligatory throat clearing, who actually gives a fuck what’s legal and what’s not? I mean this question seriously. Here’s what I see. “Follow the science” doesn’t literally mean that- it means “do what the fuck I say or suffer the consequences”. Fauci & company specifically and intentionally MANEUVERED AND CONNIVED THEIR WAY AROUND THE GAIN OF FUNCTION BAN IN THE UNITED STATES. They did this by circumventing the regulations with policies they created, and largely by moving the operation out of the contiguous US.

It’s hard to believe that there was no motive or incentive that isn’t financially related. We know now that there was, and continues to be. If this wasn’t already enough to condemn Fauci, let’s consider all the people that were driven out of their jobs- either by failure to comply with masking and vaccination mandates, or because they worked in small businesses that simply didn’t make it through lockdowns. If that’s not enough to condemn him and his cohorts, let’s also consider his attempt at misdirection by promoting studies that pre-confirmed his position and his position only, lying to Congress, lying to the American public, intentionally misreporting medical data (mask and vaccine efficacy explicitly) and in general being a sniveling, elitist twat by stating “I am the science”.

Trump is NOT fit for public office because he is a narcissist which necessarily means, as he has exhibited over and over and again, that he is also a pathological liar. Trump, even if he wins another election, which I believe is unfortunately likely, couldn’t dream of doing more damage to the US than Fauci.

There’s a double standard that even detached people that are generally disinterested in socio-political matters are becoming aware of.

We’ve seen racism against whites and Asians not only allowed, but encouraged in multiple facets of American life- predominantly in urban settings and elite universities.

We watched people lose their livelihoods and businesses because of lockdowns, but shoulder to shoulder protests in the streets hosting thousands of people were allowed.

We’ve seen people like Alvin Bragg outright state he won’t prosecute people-except when they’re white.

We’ve watched people sterilize children as part of an ideological agenda.

We’ve watched as district attorneys and mayors of cities blame crime on police, hamstring departments and then simply shrug their shoulders when violent and property crime skyrocket and blame it on some quasi-transitive property of white supremacy.

I could go on almost endlessly with the Kafka-esque dystopia that’s unfolding here. What is happening in France now will soon be our story as well, and it will be because we’ve let it happen.

I was once willing to lay down my life for the ideals that our republic embraced- and I proved it by enlisting in the USMC straight out of high school.

I can honestly say that not only am I ashamed of what the country at large has become, but also of what the military has become. I am disgusted to be an American because embracing the ideals that once made this nation a glorious bastion for all that inhabited it and exploited it for the wealth of opportunity it offers is now rejected by at least half the country.

So with all due respect Glenn, and in my estimation there is an ocean of it due- I don’t really give a fuck about what’s legal and what’s not anymore because “legal” no longer means a goddamned thing and hasn’t in quite some time.

You sound schizophrenic! Maybe a regiment of Haldol would relieve your pain---rx that you see a mental health professional, specializing in treating cognitive dissonance. Lol?

Perhaps if we had had a president who actually gave a fuck a million plus people would not have died. I said at the time it would take five years to figure out what happened during the pandemic. One thing is clear, our political system failed us.

Oh yeah for sure, all of it is Trump’s fault. Moron.
