I am more of a post-election refuge from the Washington Post. I wasn’t going to put up with subscribing to see Trump’s stunts and antics dominate the headlines and comment sections flooded with hundreds or thousands of trolls and bots. Time to try something new.

This is a major scandal here in Washington DC/Maryalnd.
A massive sewage leak, and a failure by the federal government to deal with it.
Trump warned us in that video a couple of months ago that he wanted to sh*t all over Americans, but I didn’t realize he meant it literally.

The President is lying to the public:
1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.
