From what I can determine, the only difference between the buffoon running the UK into the ground and the buffoon running the US into the ground is the accents. Both have the leadership skills of the front line of a lemming stampede.

IF this crisis is able to break through the meme ‘They are all out to get me so I won’t do anything because I am the true victim and this is all a hoax’ that many Conservative politicians believe, it will be a good thing.

The British Trump needs to got off his A** off wherever he buried it…

In the US…
When will the Covidiot Trump get off his A** and get to work and NOT think about himself or his profits for once and use the DPA, allow special ACA enrollment, stop passing the buck to governors AND STOP bragging about his FB followers?

Yeah, go Conservatives! Show just how ineffective you can be, how wasteful government is, how slothful all those employees are, just how useless your public sector is.

It’s almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy; elect those who want government to be ineffective and VOILA! Now if the fools who elected Trump and Johnson only had a higher rate of infection, we might get back to rational government by the time this is done.

“I don’t want to make a judgement before all the facts are in, but it’s beginning to look like we might have overestimated his ability”

The incompetence, corruption and ignorance is not about Donnie or Boris. They are simply agents, slaves and minions of their ideology: Conservatism is a deeply flawed, uninformed, vile, hateful and ahuman ideology.
