He won’t turn it over to MORE RESPONSIBLE people, he continues to lie…it’s almost like he wants Biden to ‘inherit’ a total sht show and then he can feed the Deplorables more horsepucky about how the Democrats trashed his ‘accomplishments’…

The man is seriously ill. His inability to deal with reality is past political concerns. People continue to die as a consequence of his illness. He may be “functional”, but he has an illness that is putting this country at risk both short and long term. The Republican Senate and Party leadership has abdicated any role in preserving our institutions, and have allowed low level individuals to take the brunt of the nation’s anger. We should no longer be deferential to the current President - lives are at stake and while the same may have been true in the past, it is no longer an open secret but the apparent declared Republican policy.

It is possible he won’t release official information on their efforts on COVID because they have done nothing.

Shut up and get out of the way, Donny.

He is like a bad actor who has only been good in one role his entire career, and keeps playing that role until the day he dies. It’s satisfying to him, and to the fans who somehow think he is a combination of Olivier, De Niro, and Day-Lewis, but the rest of the world just yawns and watches reruns of “Breaking Bad” instead of even thinking about this thespian has-been.

They have done less than nothing. The sycophants are pushing for a particularly potent mini spreader enhancement of the President-Reject’s pandemic. Thanksgiving dinners with lots of friends and relatives from different areas will mix potential carriers from different regions at a very close unmasked indoor feed. This will be followed by more unmasked football watching, and kitchen work for the wimmen folk. Then the newly exposed participants can carry the virus back to their home towns via car or 100 percent full airlines.

Is next: Also, too, mega-dittoes for the ever popular war on Xmas. Freedum up the ass!

It ain’t just Trump. We’ve got 72 million Americans running around who basically said my dad (and practically every military-age male of his generation) was a sucker for putting his life on the line to fight fascism. They WANT fascism.

These people are so crazy evil that their evil even overrides what one might consider the deepest biological drive of all: the survival instinct. Read this piece about the imbeciles in South Dakota: denying the existence of COVID even as it kills them in the ER:

Imagine the stress that hospital nurses undergo at this time, with mass death and their own high risk of fatal infection. Now imagine the stress when your efforts to help patients are derided by those very patients
