The reqal issue, in my opinion, is that we have a real asshole for a President, one we can't get rid of because of Republican tribalism. But nothing can damage your tribe more than worshiping scum because it tells everybody else who YOU are.

No human wants to live there.

In other words, the people who do live there are subhuman. It's not just a racial thing. It's dehumanizing your political enemies and it works well on people like you who are easily manipulated.


How'd it get that way? Who has been in charge there?

Well maybe stupidly calculated racism?

What he's doing is polling poorly and looks to further erode his standing particularly with women where he's already got uh a lot of problems. Also his campaign thinks it's going to play in urban areas and win over larger shares of minority voters than he got in 2016. Call me skeptical this is the road to that result.

It worked in 2016.

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh: 'You can smell the rats'

With a name like Pugh (Pewww), that probably ain't the only thing that stinks. :D

Really? Can you give me a list of the policies Kushner put in place specific to Baltimore that caused the city to be shithole?

You don't think the people who own it actually live there, do you? Hell no. They've been maximizing shareholder value for decades by running it into the ground.

Bernie Sanders on Baltimore.

There are legitimate complaints about Trump, this is not one of them. This is the left conjuring up racism as they need it for their narrative where none existed previously. The left is hard on Baltimore? No one cares. Trump calls it out, RACISM! The modern red scare. It's lurking everywhere, behind every corner, an evil white man just looking to colonize. This is amusing.

How long are you going to blatantly display your lack of understanding of the difference between constructive and destructive criticism? The difference between pointing out racism and spouting off racism? Look at the actual content and not just the headlines. Sanders was pointing out that sections of Baltimore were comparable to a third world country in order to try to bring attention to the problem, to try to fix the problem. He was pointing out that in America, we shouldn't let any part of our nation be in such conditions. Trump, on the other hand, just wanted to insult the city. If you can't understand the difference between the two, well, actually, I wouldn't be surprised.

You know, now would be a great time for First Lady Melania to start her Be Best campaign against bullying. She could start by going to schools and teaching kids that they don't want to grow up and be like her husband. I still laugh about the fact that when they needed to find a cause for the First Lady to champion, someone thought stopping bullying was a good idea. I wonder if they thought the Orange Rat would back down on his bullying to assist his wife in her cause. I do think someone would be stupid enough to believe that, after all they are conservatives and faith is all that guides them.

Everything about this administration is just one sick joke after another.

How long are you going to ignore that Trump destructively criticizes almost everyone? It isn't a racial thing, it is his style, like it or not. If his tone in that tweet was unique you might have something. This is a nothingburger, this is the kind of shit that made you lose in 2016. You NPC's don't think, you've been indoctrinated to assume everything is racist, you're so hyper-sensitive to it that you'll conjure it up.

How has your life gotten worse since Trump won in one of the most historic upsets ever? Is it internet melodrama only? How about real life?

So why was Sanders brought up? You seemed to be implying the two's statements were comparable.

And yes, trump destructively criticizes everyone, he just destructively criticizes minorities at a much higher rate (despite the fact they make up a smaller percentage of the population).

Nice way to deflect from the truth about below third world conditions in Baltimore.

Oh rats!

Democrats have controlled that shit hole since the 60's. Maybe they oughtta try something different.

So a ‘shit hole’ is above median income, one of the highest concentrations of African Americans with college degrees in the country among other things.

You sir are a fucking moron.

No, I can't do better than that. One cannot do better than tell truth in a den of lies. YOU're creating the racism here.

Well, you lied about there being no evidence of criminal activity by Trump so not doing better is a given. The king of liars and you adore him.

Trump lies about AOC calling America garbage. Crickets.
People getting sick just walking down the streets of SF? Someone let the CDC know. Call them yourself.
Trump the racist or completely over the top stupid (likely both) telling US citizens to go back to their home countries, three of which are native-born Americans. Never complain about lies when yours favored is the greatest liar of them all.

Yet you complain about everyone but him and lie too. Trump richly deserves impeachment which would be entirely proper and a criminal trial. Woe is you.
