I feel so sorry for many of the people in the USA having a POTUS like that. His dereliction of duty to lead during the Coronavirus is simply shocking. He actually could have done something to help stem it but his selfishness with the message that it’s just the same as the flu, it’s not that bad, don’t wear masks and the rampant individualism and entitlement is so sad.

I hope he is held up to account post his departure from the White House. He has been so destructive. The weak willed republicans ought to be ashamed of their support especially the likes of Mitch McConnell.

Can Trump pardon himself if he is charged with committing political misdemeanours while in office after he moves out of the White House in January?
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

The progressive movement is putting pressure on AOC and others to demand a vote on Medicare for All on the floor of the house. Jimmy Dore posted a video about it three days ago and it seems to be gathering momentum:

I promise I don't source all my opinions on US politics from Chapo Trap House (:lol:), but they did have an interesting discussion about this a couple of days ago. See what you think (from 46:15):
