US media can't tell the truth about Trump/Putin evidently. Hey, instead of "Trump calls Putin in a crucial moment for ending the war," how about "Trump postures to hide his unending support for Putin"? It would be more accurate than this whitewashing you're doing. Naive or complicit? Hard call.

I know the new pope, Leo IV, has far more faith than I do, because evidently he's a White Sox fan. I gave up 7 years ago.

Want to bet Trump is already trying to figure out how he can corrupt the new pope?
