"If you give me $300 right now you can come in", said a TX resident on the 2nd floor

of an apt building that was rapidly flooding. She said this to her neighbors when they were knocking on her door fleeing from rising water.

How much do you want to bet that she voted for the fake prez and his GOP supporters? I picture 5th Ave flooding and 45 looking down from his penthouse saying the same thing but for a much larger amount.

As soon as it can--remind people of what kind of person did and said what during the crisis.

Can you imagine seeing that neighbor afterwards and knowing he or she would have let you drown rather than take you in?

Hey, the report might turn out to be nonsense, But I really don't think we, as Democrats, should start using Trump's terms for the news media. Or anything else, for that matter.

Fake News was originally coined to identify the bogus stories spread by Russian bots and trolls supporting trump during the election.
