Hoping maybe Trump will just leave

Roger Stone received a commutation, not a pardon. That means he retains the right against self-incrimination, which means he does not have to flip on Donald Trump to save his own skin.

Trump protects his consiglieri and hit men. We might as well have Don Corleone running the government!

In the meantime, we sicken and die. And the man, who has never taken responsibility for any action in his miserable life, watches while we stumble through this pandemic like abandoned children who wonder where the hell the adults are - watches while we are reduced to a third-world country, despised and pitied by the world in equal measure.

I've become a pagan. I will kneel to any deity who promises relief and release from the grip of this cretin. Do you think We, the People can persuade Donald to leave before he does damage we can't repair?
