bad enough that it's saturating the tellavision, but to have to put up with that kind of bullshit in person, yikes!

I'd rather have Trump all over the TV. I think. Well.....

Isn't the US around 25-30% Catholic? That's maybe 90 million out of 300 million. And of those, probably only 10% are "practicing" Catholics. Maybe 10 million? And they're all lining the streets with hands and arms outstretched.

But the vast majority of the country doesn't give a fuck about the ill Papa.
