5. Hey, didn't push peel off from the entourage and meet privately

7. These media trolls really don't get it.

Didn't the media trolls just say that American Catholics are not pleased with this choice, that bushberry's approval ratings are nearing the degree needed for frost warnings, SS privatization is not happening and John Bolton is ticking off of republican senators...

Which is it?:shrug:
