Editor: Reading the news today one must question, is our country teetering on the brink of civil war as humanity regresses to the barbarians of old? 💬
Editor: Rancid right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones tearfully revealed that he's in the poorhouse. 💬
Editor: Does the recent “sham” conviction of Trump in Manhattan mean that others who have done worse to interfere in elections will also face justice? Trump’s trial was basically a “he said, they said” court case that shouldn’t even have gone to trial. 💬
Editor: Your paper and the rest of the media are so biased towards trump it makes me want to throw up. Your front page headline reads: "Trump falsely blasts 'rigged trial'" (June 1). It's funny how the rest of the country that has a brain can see this for what it is. It is putting Trump over the top, where he belongs, but you people are so intent on trying to stop him, it's disgusting. He is raising money hand over fist because the sane people in this country know the Democrats are the closest thing to communism you can get. Trump will prevail regardless of the stupidity of this paper and the media bias. 💬
