(CNN) — Britain's Conservatives just did what America's Republicans never dared to do.
They toppled a wrecking ball right-wing populist leader who reeled from one self-created scandal to another and who was accused of flagrantly breaking the law, abusing power and building his political career on an edifice of lies.
After weeks of clinging desperately to office, Boris Johnson finally resigned as the ruling Conservative Party's leader Thursday after a rebellion by his own lawmakers. The party will elect a new leader, who, according to the customs of Britain's parliamentary system, will become prime minister. America's Republican Party, however, never turned on Donald Trump in the same way -- despite his far more ruinous offenses against democracy than Johnson's. It's not that Republicans didn't have the chance. The ex-President was impeached twice, but most GOP senators chose not to vote to convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors last year -- a step that could have barred him from future federal office.

Because Johnson is a politician and Trump isn’t. When you are not created by the media, you cannot be taken down by the media.
Yah, when he had the chance to speak truth — he caved. Took a knee to the SJW.
Of course, that is the case. I think he will be out way before the October date Boris believes the transition would take place. But that is not a given, for sure.
Stephen Collinson is an effing clown.
If Vlad had a spare hypersonic missile for XiNN headquarters, he’d become the hero of millions of Americans.
I think he originally meant well but he was swallowed up by the British deep state. Only someone as strong as Trump will be able to resist the deep state.
Others, even DeSantis, will be overrun.
Thing is, as PM Johnson has to appear in Parliament to answer questions by the opposition. He isn’t provided the questions on a card in advance nor does he get to pick the opposition’s questioner. He is expected to stand on his hind legs and defend himself. Can you imagine Biden able to do such a thing?
Boris Johnson started out as a conservative but took the bait of the woke and he paid the price it was his weakness the did him in.

Hey CNN. How many of your employees are masturbating on zoom calls right now?
His mistake was imposing a lockdown in the first place.
And tolerating this faggot, Chris Pincher.
Libs fail to understand how a parliamentary system is different from ours.
And also fail to note Trump’s 90% approval among Republicans compared to 59% of conservatives wanting Johnson to resign.
