A leaderless America slips deep into a grim pandemic winter

 America is sliding into a winter limbo of alarming spikes in Covid-19 cases and deepening economic pain while an apathetic lame duck White House and a deadlocked Congress provide no political leadership.

The darkest holiday season in modern history beckons, yet President Donald Trump and his closest aides, sulking after his election defeat, are doing little to save lives, apart from claiming credit for a vaccine that represents a way out of the nightmare of 2020 but remains months away for most Americans.

 The current President spent Sunday firing off delusional new claims to bolster his fantasy that the election was stolen, which did nothing to advance his inept legal cases but further poisoned hopes of national unity when he's gone.

  1. Once again this is CNN twisting things. Yes, at the federal level there is a sense of drift. Trump is slowly dismantling and sabotaging the government while hoping to prod Iran into starting a war.
    But what CNN hopes you'll forget is that pandemic management happens at the State level. If nothing is being done in Arizona or New York to halt the viral spread, that's the fault of their governors and mayors. This is the pattern that is repeatedly being played out - governments and mayors do nothing, the virus spreads and Trump gets blamed.
    Every state has a governor. Every state has the resources it needs. They do nothing and blame the Jew... I mean, Trump!

  2. And Trump's corona task force is simply a prop! His failure to wear a mask and avoid large rallies is the result of being forced by the governors.
    Trump is dismantling Democracy as well as sabotaging the government.
    So he is innocently playing golf while people die and he is helpless to do anything?!
