The President of the United States is caught making advances on an underage “Firefly Girl” less than two weeks before Election Day.

Share this story to remind everyone where their attention needs to be focussed.
It doesn’t have to be ‘horrible’ news, either. It could be little Timmy being saved from a well. The KIND of distraction doesn’t matter, so long as the presstitutes ‘change the channel’.
