Your apology is a you thing.Normally, I wouldn't bother posting her because she's so insanely ideological and biased, that it can't really lead to thoughtful discussion. But since we've kind of passed that point in the thread, anyway, Marina Hyde is at least hilarious:

Best paragraph is the last paragraph:
"But then, one of the defining characteristics of the Trump era is that persistent feeling that you might be asked to look back on it from a worse place and ask yourself: be honest, were there any warning signs? Nope, nope – none at all. I mean, the vice-president is kinda telling the pope the Vatican’s a nice place and it’d be a real shame if anything happened to it; the president has a God complex and posts illustrations just in case you didn’t get the point; and the defence secretary smites your earholes with Bible quotes that actually turn out to be from Pulp Fiction and literally has Crusades tattoos all over his man-tits. But yeah – came totally out of the blue. Who knew?"
My favorite:
Trump spaffed his on to Truth Social after his TV made him angry again.
Another gem:
"Needless to say, any question of his religious bona fides is unlikely to trouble the president. Should an afterlife exist, his best hedge against eternal damnation is being so radioactively unpleasant that Satan would balk at spending five minutes with him, let alone an eternity."
Another asshole piling on, and lecturing the pope on Christianity.
Hannity Says, ‘The President Is Correct, The Pope Is Wrong’
Trump will publicly read from the Bible this week during a marathon Bible-reading event. His participation will be pre-recorded, though, probably to mitigate the risk of mispronunciations and lightning bolts.
"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

The Trump Babble
(formerly called the Tower of Babble)
No tower for the babbling idiot, but he's moving ahead with plans for a gaudy and wasteful Arc de Trump which serves no purpose other than to stoke his massive ego and compensate for his small, well, you know.

Crazy Uncle Lou has too much time on his hands. That's fake, but certainly sounds like something Trump could actually say. The man is INSANE.
