“Infestation”

This might be why the Dems candidates can’t provide an answer to this question: who matters more — the people of Honduras or the people of the United States? Be assured that no Honduran politician cares about the residents of Baltimore. Shall we say the same about US politicians?

I'm not always a fan of the way Trump phrases his tweets, but it did get the attention of the country. Maybe this will force those in charge to make some changes. And Baltimore is not alone - there are far too many "once great cities" that have had portions turn into dumps because the inaction of politicians in charge - Chicago, San Francisco, LA.........

I was totally appalled at the way Elijah Cummings treated Keven McAleenan at the hearing last week. He was incredibly disrespectful and hateful toward him - and it was he and members of his party who refused to admit that there was a crisis at the border months ago when others were sounding the alarm. I don't think Cummings is racist or a bad person, but his treatment of McAleenan was unacceptable. He needed to be called out for it.

He can be called out without saying the residents of Baltimore are subhuman.

So what's your point? That even a rat-infested city like Baltimore has pockets of affluence? You all continue to miss the point! Instead of being able to acknowledge that Baltimore has major problems with poverty, you turn around and say there are some wealthier areas. That doesn't negate the fact that the city is indeed infested with rats and that Cummings cares more about illegal immigrants than he does his own suffering citizens. Did you hear him, all sanctimonious, asking how anyone decent could allow a child (a migrant) to go without - failing to see that citizens in his own district are going without.

Cummings is a low-class idiot.

So what’s your pint? That Baltimore is the only place plagued with problems?

Paris is infested with rats.

Rural America has tons of poverty stricken shitholes.

Do you never travel?

Not even going to address your ignorant comment about Rep. Cummings.

DP. I have traveled a great deal and seen rats eat the faces of the dead in countries that would not be be your idea of “travel.”
I have also seen rats crawl over the bodies of homeless in the United States in areas you would never see.
Any representative should be concerned about the latter, not the former, including Elijah Cummings and Donald Trump

Why is it either or? The US has always given foreign aid. It’s in our own self interests as well as humane. I don’t understand the thought that there’s only so much sympathy to give and we can’t care about multiple issues.

If you are basing your concern on the term “subhuman,” it was not used.

It’s myopic to care only about yourself and not about others. If the rest of the world was completely stable and doing well there wouldn’t be multitudes trying to stream into the US. You learn that in foreign relations 101. Isolationism doesn’t work.

I have friends who choose to live in Baltimore. If they are not human beings what are they?

Actually, Rep Cummings, hired by the people of Baltimore, is very focused on the rule of law and the illegal communications conducted by Jared and Ivanka, which is why he has drawn the ire of the President.

The Mayor and the President have more control over what happens in Baltimore than a US Congressman has.

DP, but this is a dog whistle. Words and phrases are being used without explicitly using the N-word, but it is what is implied by the specific words and phrases. If you want to take the conversation as literal - rat infestation in Baltimore, that is your choice, but the racists know what the President meant, and many of us know what he meant as well.
