Because it's a political stunt.

"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".


You're reading this thread very selectively.


How so? Everything I know about this cleanup came from the news sources that reported it. Are you saying they're lying?


Got it. You're not reading this thread at all.


I've read the entire thread. Exactly what is your point?


On this thread, posters have said that Baltimorans were a part of this cleanup and also do other cleanups.

But you seem to have skipped all of those posts.


Of course people on this thread are going to claim Baltimore residents helped - maybe a few did. But the vast majority were these volunteers who came from OTHER STATES to help. Maybe read actual news sources rather than the wishful thinking (lies) of anonymous posters.

"Most of the volunteers don't live in the neighborhood. Many of them live in other states, such as Ohio and North Carolina, and nearly all of them heard about the cleanup from Scott Presler, the organizer."

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


It was a group of volunteers. This guy (who happens to be gay, BTW) organized over 170 volunteers who worked for over 12 hours today to clean up portions of Baltimore.
Don't be surprised if he organizes another clean up day in another city. It was THAT successful.

Instead of marching, this guy took action. I commend him for what he did.


Same here. Instead of just paying lip service to the atrocious conditions in Baltimore, he galvanized an entirely volunteer-based group of people to go clean it up. It's jaw-dropping that the liberals on this thread are arrogant enough to criticize him for it.


It wasn't volunteer, they were doing it for political gain.


DP

What? They were not getting paid. They were definitely volunteers.

Agree that it’s much better than ‘marching’ for change. He actually went out and DID something.


+1
So refreshing to see people actually making a change, not just paying lip-service.

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.


Not anymore, now the saviours of Baltimore are.


And exactly what have you - and your dem friends - done to help Baltimore? You sure are mad that someone had the great idea to pitch in and clean up, aren't you?

Really? It's so upsetting to you that Trump supporters did this that you have to stoop to calling it "fake news"? Seek help.

Planned Parenthood clinics, Affordable Care Act. You know, the hard stuff that makes a meaningful and long lasting change.

Republicans are so pathetic. So you helped ONCE. It is Dems and liberals who try to make a positive difference in the world.

Idiotic, huh? Let’s remember the origin of that phrase.

Why would someone doing community service turn into people bashing people? Get your gloves on and help, whatever your politics.

It's a political stunt disguised as community service.

Sure. You need to believe this because the truth is too painful. Many non-political organizations help their communities because we can. So, there's that.

I volunteer hundreds of hours per year, but I don’t go shouting my political views while I do it because the point of volunteering is Tom help others, not score political points. This guy can’t shut up about his Trump support because that’s his real motivation here, not helping Baltimore. It’s amazing some people are so willfully blind that they can’t see this.
