I have read before that VP Pence brought Fauci into the circle.....does anyone know if that’s true? Shame on him, if he did.
Gee. With family members like that....you sure need good friends. I hope his massive following has his back.
“I have read before that VP Pence brought Fauci into the circle.....does anyone know if that’s true?”
It’s totally true. They have history. Fauci worked with Pence when he was governor on AIDS.
Look up PepFar and the two/relationship.
I hope he starts up a defense fund.
I will - thanks.
To be fair, in the very beginning when the whole world was scrambling & the estimated death toll was 2.2 million, Fauci would seem like the logical choice.
However, to give him a totally dictatorial role & to not rein him in sooner was a mistake. Also, alternative/counter views, like Scott Atlas, should have been brought on earlier & given equal weight to Fauci's opinions.
Fauci's views have waivered & been proven wrong in many instances. He should have never been given the ultimate authority & total control.
He was wrong or deliberately misleading, he has a very shady past when it comes to this virus, but he managed to snag the highest government paycheck in the country. This is bizzaro world.
I agree, but I doubt anyone knew that at the very beginning. He definitely should have had his chain yanked a lot earlier.
I don’t know, I made it up. It could be!
Senator Ted Cruz
@SenTedCruz
Today my colleagues and I reintroduced a constitutional amendment to impose #TermLimits on Members of Congress. The amendment would limit U.S. senators to two six-year terms and members of the U.S. House of Representatives to three two-year terms.

Ted....all for show. This will never pass and he knows darn well that it won’t.
If he truly meant business he will NOT run for a THIRD (next) term.
Let’s see.
Lol!!! Good thing you weren’t asked for a source. 😂
Good point.
At least she’s honest. LOL
And the 4th anniversary isn’t as much fun....LINEN!
ROTF
Someone (I believe it was Cornyn) suggested that if the Dems persist in this, then once the GOP is back in control of Congress (there’s a dream right there!) then they would impeach ALL the prior Dem Presidents.
LOL
BREAKING: Donald Trump Announces ‘Office of the Former President’, Pledges to ‘Carry on the Agenda of the Trump Administration’
Video of National Guard troops in DC shows protocol, not protest
WASHINGTON — A widely shared YouTube clip that claims to reveal National Guard members in Washington turning their backs to President Joe Biden’s motorcade really showed standard protocol, a spokeswoman for the National Guard said.
The 21-second video, titled “Military turns backs to Joe Biden’s motorcade,” was uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday. It shows groups of Guard members standing at attention, some facing toward the street where Biden passed after his inauguration, and others facing away from it.
The video was viewed more than 150,000 times as of Friday morning, had nearly 4,000 likes and generated more than 1,000 comments. Many of the commenters believed the troops were turning their backs on the president out of protest.
Capt. Tinashe Machona, a spokeswoman for the D.C. National Guard, said the troops were purposefully positioned that way to ensure the new president’s safety.
“These National Guardsmen were on duty with a mission to protect the president against potential threats,” she said. “Some are facing out to ensure the safety of all.”
The person who uploaded the video later acknowledged the misleading nature of the clip and added under its description: “In hindsight, I would’ve been slightly more careful with the title.”
About 26,000 National Guard members were on the scene Wednesday as Biden was sworn into office. They manned checkpoints and stood posts around the Capitol grounds, the National Mall and the White House.
There’s a similar video during President Trump’s Inaugural.
So much misinformation going around....
