as usual, are doing the hardest work and deserve the highest praise. Watch degenerate donnie take full credit for it tomorrow.

He will probably say that he would have been a terrific first responder.

Yesterday they showed a young man on a fishing boat who had 4 people in his boat when they talked to him and it had been his 5th trip that day. He said he had also saved 4 dogs, 3 cats and a ferret. This is bringing out the best in people, I doubt he asked any of the people he helped how they voted.
