Question for the thread, I thought Brix was keeping stuff together, though I've really stopped watching, what is she doing now that is negative overall? Has she gone over to the Trumpian way?

So first, Birx is a political appointee, while Fauci is not. Sure, Fauci can be hosed with, but he's a careerist while she isn't.

From what I gather, she's the more data-driven person on the task force, more favorable of modelling versus Fauci. Lately, Birx has been internally questioning the CDC's death data, thinking they're overreporting deaths by 25% percent or more.

The CDC's information might indeed be poo poo, but Birx seems to be getting more and more willing to defend Donnie's bullshit on TV. It's nearly impossible to figure out how much of it is a delicate dance and how much of it is her turning Trumpy.

Here's an article on it: https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/26/opinions/birx-trump-doctors-scientists-administration-ghitis/index.html

But a lot of this poo poo is moot anyways. Donnie was already on his TRANSITION TO GREATNESS reopening demand and Fauci, FDA commissioner Hahn, and the CDC director Redfield are all in various forms of quarantine now. All tested negative and are low-risk, but Donnie quit listening to doctors a while ago anyways.

Also a reminder that libertarians like to talk about how jury nullification can be used against things like unjust marijuana laws, but in practice jury nullification has always been used to uphold white supremacy against federal civil rights enforcement. The "constitutional sheriff" exists to use laws on the books to persecute minorities and ignore the laws when they bother white men.


The West, more than the South, is the hotbed of insurrection and white supremacy.




Do these guys often run into conflicts with municipal police departments and state troopers? And since the sheriff's in England derived their power from the King, how does that work in America? We don't have nobility, and the head of state is the President.

They are elected by the local populace in elections, and are full law enforcement officers.

For more fun- in some jurisdictions, you don't need to have any experience or training in LE to be elected. Same with judges. A Judge, legally speaking, doesn't need any legal training. Lol.

Sheriffs's authority, mission, and existence vary from state to state. In most states it comes from the state constitution as an elected official. A couple of states don't have them at all. So it's very much a state vs federal powers issue.

I'm actually super curious now if Donnie would be quick enough to pick up on this, or if he's on enough drugs or sundowned to take it at face value.
