Rochelle Walensky Criminal Liability Based on the provided search results, here is a summary of the concerns and controversies surrounding Rochelle Walensky’s tenure as the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Overhaul of the CDC: Walensky acknowledged the agency’s failures during the pandemic and prepared an overhaul. However, some critics argue that she should have resigned instead of attempting to reform the agency. Conflicting statements: Walensky made contradictory statements, such as initially denying a vaccination mandate, only to later support one. This led to public confusion and criticism. Blaming the unvaccinated: Walensky justified COVID-19 restrictions on vaccinated individuals by blaming the unvaccinated, without providing evidence. Restrictions on children: Walensky repeatedly changed her stance on social distancing in schools, causing uncertainty and frustration among parents and educators. Vaccine safety: Critics argue that Walensky downplayed the risks of COVID-19 vaccines for children, despite reports of adverse reactions and deaths. Some claim that she should be held accountable for “criminally negligent manslaughter” and that the CDC should be abolished.

MSNBC, I have to hand it to you! You are in full campaign mode and really cranking out the content!

[@Kuklapolitan]

Thank you to the former GOP Chairs for understanding that this election has little to do with party and all to do with the country we love so deeply. It is heartening to know you left what became the MAGA party for the reasons you have mentioned Mr. O'Meara. I am a Democrat who remembers (and I must say...very fondly) the Republican party of bygone years. I KNOW that is the party you speak of and every American, no matter how situated or registered, wants that party back in play. Both are equal parts of the checks and balances of our country. I join with you and every person of integrity, principle and honor in supporting and voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

[@Bubbles99718]

These guys, all of his circle who are now against him, the generals all need to go to every trump rally and support Harris there.

[@johndanzer8181]

My compliments that you have put Country over Party. Unfortunately I believe that the Republican brand has been unredeemably tarnished and a new Conservative Party will need to rise up to take it's place.

Vote Blue.. Vote Kamal Harris & Tim Walz,, They offer Joy.. Hope ,, Inspiration,, and Confidence in the future of America

"As our understanding of intelligence continues to evolve, it’s important to recognize leaders like Kamala Harris who embody the diverse aspects of intellectual prowess. Their contributions to society, approach to problem-solving, and ability to inspire and lead in challenging times are what truly define their intelligence. While the intrigue about high-profile figures’ IQ scores might persist, it’s their actions, decisions, and impact that ultimately provide the most accurate measure of their intelligence."---REAL IQ

Be a TRUE Patriot !! Vote Blue, down the ballot. We welcome you, for a bright future!

[@bigtime9589]

It's like Tim Walz said yesterday. We can't take another 4 years of this administration. 😂Oops!

[@richardrobbins387]

Technically, neither choice would be the same administration. Biden stepped down, and Pence and Trump aren't speaking anymore. (I forget why)

[@gnirolnamlerf593]

Please quote the two or three sentences before that line. There's no way, out of context, with no antecedent provided, to understand what the pronoun "this" refers to. You remember from the red marks on your paper in 3rd grade that every pronoun had to have a clear antecedent, right?

[@paulbono2675]

@@richardrobbins387 Biden IS STILL the "pResident". Even though deep state installed him. Both Trump & Pence KNOW America is in an information warfare, just like the rest of the world (Globalism vs Sovereignty of Nations). Spoiler alert: Trump/MAGA are winning.

[@dorothyachavez8376]

He meant the Maga Republican administration still under Trump's thumb. Trump wanted them to shut down the government to make Kamala and Biden look bad before the election. Trump is deranged. We don't need a person like him in any government office.

When is this nightmare going to be over?? It's like the worst turbulence on a flight and the plane freefalls for 9 years.

beautifully put, thanks for speaking your mind ❤

American politics needs more people like Ted.

A guy goes into a bar, where there's a robot bartender. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "168." The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology. The guy leaves, but he is curious. So he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini." Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser, and John Deere tractors. The guy leaves but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini," and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50." The robot leans in real close and says, "Isn’t it terrible the way Biden stole the election?" [web jetsam]

[@bobbieminami4484]

Yes! He is right! The true and real Republican Party stood for integrity and freedom. President Lincoln is rolling in his grave!😢

[@allyhartwell2037]

A brave move in the current toxic climate that Trump has created, a real patriot!
