    They can only block him if he allows it to happen. The WH has exactly zero control over a US citizen, so if Fauci wants to testify, he can. And there ain’t fuck-all Trump’s henchmen can do about it.

    You’re right. I DO want things to be worse for the president. Much, much worse.

    It beyond awful they were try to block him in the first place. And, of course, he'll get fired if he testifies. And we'd lose the one honest voice in the administration on the pandemic.

    Fauci does have the power in this case. Public support would largely be on his side.

    He can't be fired except for cause, as he's a civil servant. Committee could subpoena him, and then Trump could do nothing if he testified. Obeying a lawful summons is not a fireable offense. Also, Trump would see the Dow drop 1500 and his poll numbers down near the same if he fired Fauci.

    One call to Uncle Vlad and Doc Fauci takes a header out a fifth-floor window.

    Look, you can’t blame Putin for people falling out of windows all the time in the Motherland. It’s their own fault.

    They all complained of a sharp pane before their deaths.

    1. When Gavin Newsom says so, and if they don't like it, tough shit is not an intellectual argument for the purpose of the lockdown. It's just, I dunno, an assertion of whatever.

    2. But, obviously, you're suggesting Newsom will arrive at correct conclusion while other governors arrive at different (and I'd presume you think) incorrect conclusion. So what accounts for righteousness and unrighteousness? Which science? What purpose?

    3. No, I don't think that was the goal, actually. The death of the virus? No new cases? No. No, I think that might be what people like you would like to see happen, because feelings or whatever, but it was never the goal. It can't be the goal.

    4. Taiwan is the size of Maryland. South Korea is the size of Indiana. Greece is the size of Illinois. It is much easier to execute a cohesive national strategy in all three places, especially Taiwan, which is an island the size of Maryland , and South Korea, which shares a peninsula with a nation from which there is virtually no travel, ever. I mean, we're talking about Texas high school football vs. Vermont high school football advantages here, only in reverse.
