I find it incredibly depressing that the likely deaths of a few people who paid $250K to go in a submarine to see the Titanic remains is getting more attention than hundreds of deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean who were fleeing in hopes of a better life.
Our priorities are way off.

Related to this story about using as political tools inhumanely, is how his potential supporters seem to love that crap.

I think that this use of paid door knockers could be of benefit to the DNC towards flipping seats at local level though. https://wapo.st/43KtNBw
