"We're frankly above calling people names, unlike Trump." And they proceed to spend 80% of the article calling him names and insisting that living in a rat-infested city is good, actually.

Drumpf will never recover from that article!

(And neither will Baltimore; clearly they don't want the very dangerous problems fixed.)
 
Baltimore is especially a shithole these days because they are now having trouble finding people who want to join the Police. The city has an abundance of violent crime, and the police are dwindling more and more-- a horrifying combination.
AFAIK, Baltimore has a corrupt police force as well. Race profiling and redlining which means the police responds less to those troubled areas, and they have lost faith in the police as they don't do anything but profile. Peel one layer off the onion, another one is underneath.

I honestly wish America would get past the Democratic/Republican bullshit and Trump tweets that they would realize the Baltimore and other cities are suffering from corruption and its citizens are sick and tired of it. Or conditioned to such conditions that they are losing hope. Answer the call for help and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
 
Great day in the morning! Trump is getting it in on Cummings.

Trump be like, now that I've got your attention, let me show you how his constituents really feel...
Part of her speech that struck me was when she complained that Cummings hadn't even thrown block parties or bbqs or offered free shoe giveaways. Is that a common tactic to buy black voters? A bit stunned hearing that.
 
Please remember that while Pelosi and Cummings are getting into this slap-fight over their districts and screaming as loudly as they can about how their constituents aren't living in squalor, that they're both currently on a six week paid vacation in Italy, at the Hotel Danieli in Venice. Take a good, long moment to picture them sitting there--drawing in an annual six-figure paycheck for six weeks--arguing vehemently against why Trump is wrong and why these trash-filled districts riddled with crime and poverty is totally Trump's fault and not their own, even though just the two of them have collectively been in politics for nearly a century and Trump only got here 2 1/2 years ago.

 
Holy fucking shit. What the fuck do you call it when you attack someone for pointing out your problems and embrace them? Because that sure as shit is what this is.


Fucking dumbasses said:
In case anyone missed it, the president of the United States had some choice words to describe Maryland’s 7th congressional district on Saturday morning. Here are the key phrases: “no human being would want to live there,” it is a “very dangerous & filthy place,” “Worst in the USA” and, our personal favorite: It is a “rat and rodent infested mess.” He wasn’t really speaking of the 7th as a whole. He failed to mention Ellicott City, for example, or Baldwin or Monkton or Prettyboy, all of which are contained in the sprawling yet oddly-shaped district that runs from western Howard County to southern Harford County. No, Donald Trump’s wrath was directed at Baltimore and specifically at Rep. Elijah Cummings, the 68-year-old son of a former South Carolina sharecropper who has represented the district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1996.

It’s not hard to see what’s going on here. The congressman has been a thorn in this president’s side, and Mr. Trump sees attacking African American members of Congress as good politics, as it both warms the cockles of the white supremacists who love him and causes so many of the thoughtful people who don’t to scream. President Trump bad-mouthed Baltimore in order to make a point that the border camps are “clean, efficient & well run," which, of course, they are not — unless you are fine with all the overcrowding, squalor, cages and deprivation to be found in what the Department of Homeland Security’s own inspector-general recently called “a ticking time bomb."

In pointing to the 7th, the president wasn’t hoping his supporters would recognize landmarks like Johns Hopkins Hospital, perhaps the nation’s leading medical center. He wasn’t conjuring images of the U.S. Social Security Administration, where they write the checks that so many retired and disabled Americans depend upon. It wasn’t about the beauty of the Inner Harbor or the proud history of Fort McHenry. And it surely wasn’t about the economic standing of a district where the median income is actually above the national average. No, he was returning to an old standby of attacking an African American lawmaker from a majority black district on the most emotional and bigoted of arguments. It was only surprising that there wasn’t room for a few classic phrases like “you people” or “welfare queens” or “crime-ridden ghettos” or a suggestion that the congressman “go back” to where he came from.

This is a president who will happily debase himself at the slightest provocation. And given Mr. Cummings’ criticisms of U.S. border policy, the various investigations he has launched as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, his willingness to call Mr. Trump a racist for his recent attacks on the freshmen congresswomen, and the fact that “Fox & Friends” had recently aired a segment critical of the city, slamming Baltimore must have been irresistible in a Pavlovian way. Fox News rang the bell, the president salivated and his thumbs moved across his cell phone into action.

As heartening as it has been to witness public figures rise to Charm City’s defense on Saturday, from native daughter House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young, we would above all remind Mr. Trump that the 7th District, Baltimore included, is part of the United States that he is supposedly governing. The White House has far more power to effect change in this city, for good or ill, than any single member of Congress including Mr. Cummings. If there are problems here, rodents included, they are as much his responsibility as anyone’s, perhaps more because he holds the most powerful office in the land.
Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner — or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressman’s name correctly (it’s Cummings, not Cumming) — we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one.
 
that they're both currently on a six week paid vacation in Italy, at the Hotel Danieli in Venice. Take a good, long moment to picture them sitting there--drawing in an annual six-figure paycheck for six weeks--arguing vehemently
Before I jump to conclusions, how do you even know they are in Italy? The calendar you provided didn't provide that info.

And how much you want to bet whoever wrote that about rats doesn't even live in those conditions?

Harsh president or crime-infested city?

Pick one.

They're visiting the U.S Army Africa Headquarters in Italy as part of the vacation, and Gaetz has made it known that Cummings went along with her for the trip, and according to a snippet from Politico (Ctrl+F, Venice), she was seen on the roof of the hotel. Could be considered shaky info if you're someone who's already on the fence about things, so disregard it if it'd make you more comfortable, but I've no reason to doubt it since Politico had no reason to lie about it in that context.

more policies than you could ever hope to achieve
That the irony right here. All the squad does in Congress is whine like hell and not do anything they’re supposed to do. This is why the progressive left like them could be fucked in 2020, when their rhetoric got them elected easily but then just whine about SJW buzzwords.

I could easily see that Jamaican beat out AOC next year.

I'm not going to disregard anything true. Frankly, I'd be pissed if the city I live in is in a state of disrepair, but my representation is away in a five star resort outside of the country. Politicians are elitist snobs. And yes, I feel the same way when Trump goes out golfing in his resorts.

I'm not criticizing the person Cummings, but how his policies have done nothing to fix Baltimore.
