"The cleanup was attended, in large part, by supporters of President Donald Trump."

So interesting that it took Trump supporters to organize, mobilize, and PAY for this enormous cleanup. They paid for porta-potties, dumpsters, equipment, etc. - to clean up a city they don't even live in.

You are so gullible if you believe this was done for anything but political purposes. This guy is getting a whole bunch of attention he never would have gotten otherwise.

I don't care and the residents don't care if this was or wasn't done for political purposes. The fact is, they worked long, hot, sweaty hours, using their own money, to clean up a city they don't even live in. And all you can do is complain that he did it for "political purposes"? It's as plain as day who cared enough about this place to pitch in and clean it - and who didn't.

I imagine you and your ilk are kicking yourselves that you didn't think of it first.

You're arguing for the same thing you argue against when you claim people get dependant on government handouts.

Um, nope. The government had nothing to do with this group of volunteers coming together. Not one government dime was spent on this cleanup, only private funds belonging to the volunteers (Trump supporters, btw). Which actually speaks very, very poorly for the city of Baltimore and its Democratic "leaders".

This wasn't a group of volunteers, this was a political stunt.

So you keep insisting. Whatever you want to call it, it wasn't Democrats helping out - was it?

Democrats help out every day, they just don't virtue signal it on social media.

LOL!! That wins as the funnies post on this thread.

My liberal friends are the BEST at virtue signaling.

I volunteer to remove all the “virtue signaling” yard signs from the liberalati of Arlington, DC, and Bethesda.

Of course. Because you want to squelch free speech.

Virtue signaling is not enshrined in the Constitution.

No. Poverty doesn't lead to trash in the streets. You can be poor and know to not throw trash in the street. It's a complete lack of respect that leads to the mess.

+100
So tired of the excuses.

So the impoverished places where you have lived were spotless?

You are saying poverty gives you the right to throw your trash in the streets. I guess you're a Democrat, right?

Np. I am aware of an impoverished community in a heavily impoverished county in a rich state that charges $20 to throw away an old microwave, tv, computer, etc. As a result, when I cleaned up a place there, we'd put things outside and people would pick them up.

This place is and has been a Democratic cesspool for decades that has a war against the impoverished. It is a shame and they are shameful.

This is such a trumpian gesture. “Hey! I’m coming to clean your house (which I actually call a sh*thole) while cutting funding for your schools, defunding planned parenthood services for low income moms and cutting snap benefits. Enjoy!”

The contempt posters are showing for impoverished neighborhoods is pretty ugly.

I hope they're wearing heavy gloves for this job. There are probably a lot of dirty needles lying around.

Actually the global, universal indicator of poverty IS trash and litter strewn everywhere.

Doesn’t matter if it’s an alley in Baltimore, an Indian reservation in Arizona, virtually anywhere in Mexico, most population centers in Africa, Russia, India, or Southeast Asia... wherever you find poor people, you will find litter.

It stems from hopelessness, and simply not caring. That’s what poverty does to the human spirit. Litter is a symptom of that.

It requires ZERO effort to put something in the trash or simply not throw it in the ground where it will be unsightly. Yet that’s exactly what happens. Why? Because what’s the point of keeping wherever you are tidy if you have no hope for anything.

Pales in comparison to the level of contempt DCUM is directing at the organizer of the clean up.

They’re not.

Dollars to doughnuts a lame group of Dems will show up in Baltimore to do a clean up.

Nah, won’t happen.

Then how do you explain the dirt-poor neighborhoods of two decades back, where poor people kept everything nice and tidy? They had pride in their home, and in their neighborhood, even though they didn't have a penny to spare. What was different about 70 years ago as compared to now?

Do you really expect anyone to believe your BS? Why do you even try?

You are really embellishing history. Dirt poor neighborhoods have always been run down.
