    Honestly can't believe he admitted it

    Edit: now I'm half worried he actually doesn't have it and is setting up a political show of 'how covid isn't really a big deal'

      If he does have it and he recovers then he's really going to sling shit about it not being so bad

      Actually he'll probably taunt Biden about it at the next debate, lmao. "You should try it Joe, it's not so bad if you're a tough guy like me"

        As a Brit this was my first thought too.

        Both got it just as their polling was tanking and coverage of COVID response was turning on them.

        The display here in Britain made me feel more I'll than if I had had COVID. All the press treating him like he was Churchill or Princess Diana, praying for his recovery. All the 'Thank You NHS' signs in windows in my town replaced or joined by 'Get well Boris, we're praying for you' shit.

        After all, it's not like Boris and Trump don't have friends and advisors in common.

          Dynamic is completely different though. You guys still have cucky play nice politics among the people. We lost that shit years ago

            We definitely don't. Corbyn is proof of that and your culture war has been fully imported I'm recent years. Marching far right, political assassinations, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, QAnon, free speech crypto-nazis being taken seriously, armed football hooligans 'patrolling' parks and public areas to defend statues and towns from Antifa. This country is worse than ever.

              Yeah but politics aint nearly as mean over there. Like the average person who dislikes trump would not care if things got bad with him, that's different with you guys where people still see the office of pm as legitimate

                Take it from someone living here, they absolutely are. The difference is that everyone here isn't armed and we're not quite as racially segregated. I could give a dozen examples but it's still early and I'm busy this morning.

            Nah british politics is far more brash than American politics. The US house is far more civilized than the British one.

              True but I rarely get the sense of pure, visceral, hate from British people that I do from Americans. Like my boss is English and though she's a Labour supporter she doesn't fucking hate BoJo as much as lefty Americans hate Trump

                That's just because BoJo isn't nearly as bad as Trump. Tory's are basically just the same as what blue dog democrats are in the US. Joe Manchin sucks, but no one gives him the level of hate they give to like Trump or Cruz.

        Absolutely not, old man screaming matches are Trump's natural habitat.
