Dem double standards aren’t really news, but the question of why Flint’s water system problems haven’t been fixed yet - a national visibility issue for years now - is one worth consideration for sure.

I had forgotten all about that. It has been how many years now?
I’d like to give De Blasio lead poisoning... The .45 caliber type.
