Compare Boris Johnson's crimes with Trump's. What is wrong with this country?

Boris is hounded out of office BY HIS OWN PARTY for attending a few parties during covid and giving a promotion to a man who gropes other men. Yeah, he might also be obnoxious but Trump obnoxious?

Compare that to Trump. He bragged about groping women. Is that somehow better than appointing an underling who gropes men? His office was a hotbed of covid with little mask wearing. And he's germaphobic. But because the base wanted to "own the libs" sensible covid rules were fought and ignored. Openly. No lying about a few Christmas parties. Openly.

And neither of those things even registered on the richter scale that is Trump's whole life but especially the last 7 years.

Make fun on the brits all you want. Their LEADERS dumped Boris.

I hate republicans even more today.

is in the Republican party which drags this country down and gets in the way of progress.

They would never have as much support in the UK .

Fox & Friends obliviously criticizing Boris Johnson for being untrustworthy, refusing to leave office, creating chaos, and mishandling Covid -- after years of running interference for you know who -- is pretty rich
