I mean, how hollowed out IS your newspaper, your editorials are paint-by-numbers reactionary dogshit not even penned by anyone, and your news analysis is like a goddamn sane-washing town crier for White House propaganda. Homer was less concerned about Poochie elevation than you are about Trump.

Putting Trumps name on things automatically guarantees it will fail.

Usually when something carries the Trump name, it comes from Donald Trump paying tribute to himself. Over the years, that has been a long list of both active and defunct companies and products.

I'm the same.

Unfortunately religion has been one of the top reasons war happens. I generally like popes, I even have a fave. But history (and theology) proves human-made religion is bad for our planet and ppl. This has been going on since the gods were manufactured. ✌️
