I am afraid it would only increase risk of it being mistaken for a dumpster.

“And spare me the “political BS comments”, if he’s going to say stupid shit there’s going to be a response!”

Not only that but it will totally make a difference. Still couple of weeks left before Mr. Trump is scheduled to be sworn in. Keep up the good work!

Judging by the quality of the content recently the free version can be referred to as Jalopnik Minus™.

Thats renowned Economist Dr. Hamilton Nolan for you.

“What? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.”
