when he said the way to stop the PanicDemic was to cut back on testing and tracing. Now, of course, they are doing just that.

perhaps.

The fact Trump got the second biggest US vote ever puzzles me.

I can see his carefully crafted image is appealing (just as Friendly Granddaddy Joe Biden's was as well at the right time) but it puzzles me.

Recent writers claim Trump uses Josef Goebel's trick of "accuse others of what you do yourself" but Trump actually didn't deliver anything of substance in 4 years yet my lifelong hairdresser pal who tends me gorgeous locks says "he got the economy going" ?.

He didn't & asking for more depth he changes the subject to 'Hello!" magazine.

Donald blatantly lied endlessly but many politicians do. One Big Example was his "fabulous new health care system" he promised repeatedly in his 2015 campaign and then near the end of 2020 as he claimed all details will be revealed in "2 weeks". Nothing, nada zip.

It's really quite bizarre that 10s of millions of Americans basically worship a man who provably lied to them daily yet it doesn't bother them? Weird or what?

Of course Boris is no different but far more sophisticated.

And yet Jeremy Corbyn, love or loathe him presented quite reasonable non dramatic policies and was considered The Devil?

Disclosure: the C*nt Trump has owed me $3000 for 14 years now but I don't hold that against JK.

I think someone who used the media to such effect saw what the media was doing with Covid and to an extent "called it out"

But with you Hedda on my views on Trump in general; and our dear Boris.

Yes politicians have always lied but what we have arrived at is a post truth world. They realise the electorate are so tractable and/or indifferent that they just create whatever they want.

Again why vote ?

Watching Joe Biden being guided by his wife is like watching a dementia suffeer walking with his nurses around the hospital gardens.

I never see any politician with flash cards or have notes with them. Biden also gets easily ratty with hard questions thrown at him.

It's like watching a 3 ring circus now in America. Especially with today's cancel culture and critical race theory being taught in schools. Even the black and Asian groups are pissed off with it.

Watch Jericho Green on YouTube Wyot. He would make a great Press Secretary.
