Lot of U.S. news about Boris Johnson and his Covid Parties...

Who the hell cares. Fire the the jerk and get on with it. The U.S. has much more to worry about than Johnson's parties, like insurrection, sedition, and treason. Just my rant for the day.

But the fate of BoJo actually is important to the US, as Britain is supposedly a major ally; a crisis is brewing in Europe, Brexit is a disaster and BoJo is a moron.

Is it your assertion that the UK stories are preventing something else from being reported on?

during covid and his career hangs in the balance. Trump - remember the Rose Garden, remember the covid hoax claims, not to mention the insurrection and the daily lies and treachery? And Trump is still a threat to our democracy. Democratic lawmakers do not know how to be an opposition and land punches.

on nbcnews.com, about 30. CBS has admittedly put it 3rd.

"Fire the the jerk and get on with it" - well, what's the fuss about Trump? Impeach the jerk and get on with it. You've had over a year for it.
