Dr Bright Testimony in Whistleblower Hearing

"2020 could the darkest winter in modern history"

Typical Republican BS and games to begin...

Did I just hear a purse fall out of his mouth?

This is the first time I've heard him speak.

R3 I hear it too.

Hydroxychloroquine! I can't believe it came up so fast in this hearing. Is Rep. Burgess a republican?

Dr. Bright testifying on vaccine:

It takes many opportunities to make vaccines

We're confident, at least one of those or two of those will work

The supply chain for those vaccines, ingredients, including glass vials will become a significant issue down the road

We're already seeing those challenges with limited doses of Redescivir (sp?)

There's n o one company that produce enough for the world, need a strategy to distribute, administer. We don't have that yet. It is a significant concern

Girl!!! Doctor Swish.

Yes, Dr Burgess is a (short-tempered) Republican.

Hot daddy for sure

Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay. Cute too

Guthrie sounds like a wind bag. He only has five minutes and wastes it all.

GURRL!, you bettah WERQ

Dear God the people running this are awful. This is truly the b-team of hearings.

Dr Bright is adorable but he speaks in such a monotone he's putting me to sleep. And R13, you are correct. This panel is definitely the junior varsity.

With no shade, the chair, Anna Eschoo only holds an associate's degree. Why on God's green earth she's in charge when they have one doctor and one vet on the Democratic side I have no idea.

This shows how Trump didn't do shit about this pandemic. I don't understand why he's still in office. Over 80,000 Americans are dead because of him.

R15 Begs the question: Who did she blow for the job?

Now I think maybe Dr Bright was fired because he was putting the staff to sleep with his monotone. Imagine trying to sit through a briefing by this guy...

Dr. Bright must speak in a calm, monotone manner. He’s a scientist and he shouldn’t show any emotion to appear biased.

[quote][R15] Begs the question: Who did she blow for the job?

She represents Silicon Valley. She probably got it because of her ability to fundraise.

[quote]Is Rep. Burgess a republican?

Yes. And unfortunately he's my representative. He's worthless. But I live in a pretty red district, so I'm afraid we're stuck with him.

Who is that slack jawed idiot from FL? As dumb as Dumpy.

I concur with you R13. This is the bottom of the barrel.

R21, my condolences to you and the people in your CD.

Another Dr. Bright...

Will someone kindly instruct the gentle Chairwoman in the power and purpose of her gavel; it is not there as a mere paperweight or decorative ornament. She allowed Fartbag Burgess far too much time to promote hydroxychloroquine.

Seems that the repugnantcan plan is to turn this hearing into an infomercial for hydroxychloroquine.

Republicans are all basically saying they heard the drug was working for 2 people so Dump was right to push for this drug since there was no alternative. Fuck ethics or his double randomized studies, it worked for a couple of folks so it must be a miracle drug. Notice how Dump has never mentioned his great drug again after a study showed more people actually died after being treated with it? But I'm sure Dump takes no responsibility for this as well instead they ousted a honorable scientist who was trying to protect the American people.

Two wonderful names of real life doctors I've learned over the pandemic period.

Dr. Bright and Dr. Brilliant.

Brilliant wins over Bright!

How big a quack is this so-called doctor Buoshon of Indiana who claims doctors are not to await the approval of "the bureaucrats" before administering an untried drug? I hope the AMA will address both him and his remarks and make him accountable for his televised recklessness.

With all due respect, the vice president was appointed the head of the pandemic task force. Thank you rep. brooks.

Why are Republicans still pushing hydroxychloroquine?

I bet Dr. Bright is a dynamo in bed....still waters, you know.

Dr. Bright shall henceforth be known as Dr. Dull.

How long before one of the republican dipshits defends Trump telling people to drink bleach and put UV light in the lungs???

Dear Leader is ALWAYS CORRECT and should NEVER be questioned!!!!

Jesus FUCKING Christ, who is this bearded asshole questioning Dr. Bright about his sick leave and health status?

Who the fuck is that asshole from Oklahoma? Another Gym Jordan asshole who is also not wearing a jacket in Congress.

Mr. Mullin is stupid. Dumber than a box of rocks!!

Dr. Dull should should just tell Mullin that testifying is therapeutic and getting the story out is helping to lower his blood pressure.

I swear 98% of Republicans are complete idiots. What a waste of time questioning Dr. Bright about his pay like he is doing this to rip the gov't. off. Have they bothered to look at Trump

Oklahoma Republicans who are also members of Native American tribes confuse me.

That Mark Wayne Mullins dude (R-Assholeistan) has a very punchable face.

If Dr. Bright didn't have hypertension before he would have if after Mullin's 5 minutes. Jesus fucking Chirst, the republicans in this committee are stupid. They waste their time on the chase and ignore the important information.

What Trump and cronies were doing in January

Jesus Christ the woman chairing this is just letting everyone run right over her. Bang that gavel, gurl, and pull out the "your ignoring me because I'm a woman" card.

How many times did the Orange Fatass play golf or go to rallies in Feb. or March, yet they're worried about Dr. Bright taking time off from work due to health reasons???

Schrader has a nice mask. It looks like it should come with a matching tie.

I actually find Dr. Dull quite refreshing from the strident, hysterical, sensational rantings of Herr Trump.

The impeachment witnesses were a nice middle ground, r46.

Does Dr. Bright have a bit of... gay voice?

Oh god, another republican

So Bright now abused the right of being a whistle blower and he's responsible for the job losses?

Dump's cronies oust and smear the reputation of a government official/scientist who has been working for the government for decades and that Oklahoma asshole is surprised that this could be stressful and could cause health problems? They're basically trying to ruin this man's career, but he should just take it and turn up at his new job like nothing happened. Asshole.

Joe Kennedy is a ginger god!

Carrot Juice's tweet at 3:00 AM today:

[bold]"Sick government doctor on stress leave getting paid to trash American fight against Covic while lazing around at his house. Not Winning!"

I find that this hearing is much more interesting if you mute it as soon as a Republican starts talking. it would also be good if someone could explain to the Republicans that at hearings the purpose is to ask questions to get to the truth. It is not their personal soapbox.

These hearing always alternate between Republican and Democratic representatives until the run out of the minority party questioners and then the remaining are all from the majority party, in this case the Democrats.

R52, oh the irony. He's too stupid to figure out the irony of his comment.

President Kennedy, r51!

Kennedy is disinfecting the space he is vacating.

You know he loves his children.

MSNBC has left the hearing. I've had enough, any way. The republicans looked so bad. Too bad their base doesn't watch these hearings.

The Republicans all ask their nasty questions and then immediately leave the hearing. They have no interest in what the doctor has to say or the truth.

Also, the Oklahoma asshole's full name is Markwayne Mullin. Lol.

Disgusting Republicans are still push that Trump Drug for malaria. How sad is that?

R55 - Agent Orange hasn't tweeted yet. I was prognosticating. Here's a second guess at Trump's tweet - (Friday early hours):

[bold]"Dr. Stressy Scientist should worry more about his low ratings today. American public don't buy lazy doc's stories. No wonder he's out of a job. Losing Fast!"

As usual, Republicans all show their ass and then just tell lies.

The Republicans are all fat red, bloated and sweaty looking.

I think he's sexy as fuck.

Wonder if Dr. Bright posts on DL?

Long looks like the product of a human and a toad. I was waiting for him to zap a fly with his tongue.

The Orange Stain is back to 'chopper talk' with his toadies like Kayleigh Mc-A-Ninny. He has to try and change the media narrative off Dr. Bright's testimony.

This site lists him as being married, but doesn't say whether it is to a wife or to a husband.

It must be a husband.

Thanks as always for the live blog. I can't stand to watch Republicunts in action like this but I am interested.

[quote] Dr. Rick Bright Lawyer is being represented by the law firm of Katz, Marshall & Banks, Avery prestigious firm well noted for representing Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

Well that must really upset the Republicans.

Watching this..thinking how many careers of public servants has Dump ruined.

[quote]Republicans all show their ass

Pics please.

Republican Rep Carter talks like a conman or a preacher.

Dear lord, no, r73. Ass pictures of this group today should come with a warning that what you are about to see is graphic and disturbing.

R74 I bet he is the kind of pharmacist who won't fill a birth control prescription because it's against God's will.

All of these public servants like Dr Bright and Dr Fauci and many others have worked for the government for decades for Presidents from both parties without any controversies or issues. Trump becomes President and all of a sudden these people's patriotism and honesty is put in question. When it is Trump who's honesty and patriotism that should be questioned.

"Top immunologist in the world" being treated like a piece of garbage by Republicans. Shameful.

Bright was about to go into who in the administration ordered hydroxychloroquine to be distributed without a physician's directive. ANd it moved to stupid ass Congresswoman Dingle of Michigan, who was not paying attention moved on to automobile safety shit. WTF was this woman doing there? What an asshole. The issue of who in the administration pushed HCQ without a doctor's supervision is the CRUX of this administration's focus on profit not people.

Republicans keep reserving. I guess they want the last word.

Oh, my. This doctor is a Big Girl.

Did I hear this correctly? Two years to manufacture vaccine?

Bright is married. Question is: to a man or to a woman?

I'm watching Cooper and Cuomo tonight. Should be interesting after this shitshow.

President Trump just blasted Dr. Bright and said at the White House that he watched some of Dr. Bright’s testimony before Congress.

“To me he is nothing more than a really unhappy disgruntled person,” he said.

Here's what I'm picking up that this "missing" with this pandemic in the U.S.:

1. No robust testing plan or strategy

2. Vaccine to take 2 years to develop

3. Lack of viable supply chain for vaccine distribution/ administration

4. Other?

Is Rush deaf?

All gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve.

Is this committee filled with the short bus congress people? It Rush a stroke victim? At least he asked good questions about the Obama Playbook.

r88, Scott.

Here r, 87.

Rush is grayer and leaner now, and his voice is raspy after the 2008 fight against cancer of the salivary gland. But he coasted to victory in 2010 with 80 percent of the vote.

I didn't think stroke, r89. He speaks like someone with hearing issues so I went there first, but stroke makes sense.

Thanks, r91. Good for him for being a survivor.

I would allow Dr. Rick to do unspeakable things to me.

r92 - See r91, Rush had cancer in 2008.

Is this a congressional hearing or a bad episode of "Green Acres"?

CNBC:

Trump calls ousted HHS whistleblower Rick Bright a 'disgruntled employee' before House coronavirus hearing

The most important question still needs to be posed to Dr. Bright: top or bottom?

He has bottom voice.

[quote] All gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve.

And Geoffrey!

I love him.

they should keep "disgruntled employee" permanently set in type.

Rick Bright

Wiki doesn't list his age or a spouse. He graduated from high school in 1984.

'We're in deep s---': Fired scientist Rick Bright tells Congress when he realized the US wasn't prepared for the coronavirus

He's a cute daddy.

He has a speaking voice like Liberace ...but nobody's perfect.

R105 I wouldn’t mind hearing that voice every day.

[quote] Anna Eschoo only holds an associate's degree. Why on God's green earth she's in charge when they have one doctor and one vet on the Democratic side I have no idea.

Anna Eschoo has a lot of seniority — 27 years in the House — and she’s a woman. Seniority counts for a lot in the selection process. Plus, Pelosi wants to make sure that her Committee chairs are diverse.. Rethugs don’t care that their leadership consists almost entirely of old, white men.

Knew I could count on the DL to find Rick Bright to be a cute Silver Daddy. Before comming here I googled the hell out of him. Was surprised to find that he's not an MD/PhD, but delighted that he's an Immunology scientist, as am I. I've been very familiar with Faucci and his work for decades, but had never heard of Rick Bright until now. Where has he been all of my life? Could not find whether he's married to a man or a woman. I'm about four years his senior, but he's taller, so he would have to be the Daddy -- in my dreams. A lot of Immunologists of my generation are gay, having gone into the field due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Dr Bright has been a career civil service guy for years, which make his demotion extra suspicious

^He donated to a Dem PAC to elect Joe Biden. He is obviously a fake Whistleblower and evil.

He’s an Ed.D.—fake doctor. I like real doctors.
