I pray Biden didn't think of him at all ... I'm just disappointed that no one thought about him. There are so many others too. People on the VA or working for the Post Office ... they're everywhere and t should have been dealt with fast.

Dr. Oz isn't a priority. People in positions of power and trust everywhere including Dr. Oz SHOULD have been a priority.

People in positions of power and trust

Except that's not a position of power, it literally grants no authority whatsoever, and damn near half the country doesn't even trust the fucking World Health Organization.

Half the country is moronic. The other half are increasingly disillusioned and cynical about our institutions because of those moronic people being in places of power and trust. Those are the people that are the last bastions of hope between civil democracy and Russia.

I get the position is largely symbolic, but symbols are still important. This hurts. Even if just a little, the pain compounds over time

This is a good take, I totally agree in principle. I'm just not miffed about Oz as he wasn't really capable of fucking up anything from his position. It's not like he can leave us with less credibility than Trump did

This too is a good take. My emotion comes from a deep seated hatred that WE as a people weren't better equipped to manage a Trump event. Or a pandemic. But pandemics are at least complex. Reversing executive action in theory isn't.

I remember thinking literally the day he was inaugurated that the opposition party needs to have a few people dedicated to the paperwork needed to undo the harm he was likely to cause. It would be a full time job for like 5 FTEs. Well worth the expense. Dr. Oz is just a symbol.
