Applause breaks out at the Vatican as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrives for the funeral of Pope Francis.

It was a gentle applause which I think was just fine.

Who invited him. As usual, Trump sucked all the attention toward him. Didn't they realize that Trump would do his best to upstage the dead Pope? The fuckers can't even spend a couple of hours thinking about the person who has died. Trump defiles all of the places where he goes. You'd think that houses of worship would block him from coming in, but no, they have no balls, either.

Didn't Krasnov already tariff every single country? So he did pre-retribution.

That's the kinda genius he is.

from the White House for Lisinopril (a blood pressure and heart medication) are too numerous to count.

More seriously and obviously, the world is still with Ukraine. Well, except for Russia, North Korea, China, Iran and many in the United States government.
