from the store checkouts based on the fact it is a propaganda tool.

The next question is, when AMI is broken up and goes under faster than the USS Nautilus, what will fill those empty racks at the checkouts?

...and what will Deplorables read in the bathroom?

...and will we ever find out what happened to BATBOY??? Oh, wait, he's alive and well:

I don't think they publish anymore. I used to get one every week when I was back in college, and I would cut out the best articles and tape them to the door of my dorm room. Some of the articles were for real. I would sometimes see the same story in the mainstream media, but those articles weren't nearly as funny as the ones in the WWN.

trDump Tribune & Propaganda Rag Sheet,..
trDump raw sewage and cesspool sludge served up like it was a delicious imported gourmet brown cream soup with little chunks and morsels of floating delectable surprises to excite your appetite.

Off the menu name,.. commonly referred to as,... "poo and urine chowder".

it's hard to prove extortion and blackmail when money isn't involved. On the plus side, Pecker had a deal with law enforcement that he would not be prosecuted for his role in the Playmate bunny/Trump cover up, as long as he didn't commit a crime for 3 years. If what he did with Bezos is considered a crime, even if he isn't convicted he is toast.

Pecker was hurting for money then all of a sudden he buys out one of his competitors and starts running pro-Saudi Arabia articles. I take that to mean that Pecker got a bunch of money from Saudi Arabia.

Isn't it time we stopped calling Saudi Arabia our ally?

..the rag doesn't even have to be prosecuted for the crime, simply commit one. But I guess that could get a little dicey with the courts.

I realize the answer must be ‘yes’ - it’s been in print for decades - but in the thousands of times i’ve been to a grocery store, i’ve never seen anyone buy a copy.
