Because the topic is Baltimore? |

Maybe some people hold the opinion he could do a better job focusing on his #1 priority: the constituents of his district instead of trashing the federal agents of the Border Patrol? |

| Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad! |

Just because he trashed Border Patrol, and justly so, does not mean his constituents are not his #1 priority. More likely, you all just don't like him trashing Border Patrol at all. So I say to you, if you don't like him trashing Border Patrol, stop giving him reasons to trash Border Patrol. |

The President said there was a crisis at the border. Democrats called it a manufactured crisis. There is a crisis at the border. Democrats blame the President. It really is this simple. |

| Oh, and to those Republicans who sat on their heels as our cities' crisis deepened across the country: Not many want to hear from you. You could have made a permanent change in e country and you chose the polite, easy way out. Enjoy your place at the kids table. |

Who made the topic Baltimore and why? PS the White House has a rodent infestation, did you know that? |

When someone offers criticism, it's usually a rational response for the critiqued or an observant third party to ponder over the credentials of the one doing the critiquing. Would you take parenting advice from someone who is raising malnourished and ill-behaving kids? Marriage advice from someone who has had a string of failed marriages? How about driving advice who has had an accident every year? |

The Dems are just as much to blame. Heck, most of the cities in crisis have been led by Dems for decades. Plus, Dems played a role in the federal policies that gave the power and money to the wealthy and essentially killed the American Dream. This all started in the 70s. We can't blame everything on the Repubs. Signed, Bleeding heart liberal poverty lawyer |

You can blame redlining though. And segregation. And other forms racial discrimination (in jobs, education, etc.) that have prevented the build up of black wealth. You don't remove those barriers and then get to declare an even playing field. At that point whites in general are already on third base in comparison to blacks just getting to come up to bat. The reverberations of our nation's oppression of black Americans will last for generations. |

Or, to go further, would you take economic advice from someone who has declared bankruptcy numerous times and lies about how much wealth he has, who has run numerous types of businesses to the ground, harming those who have tried to partner with him? How about that? |

Um...of course. But you do realize that Dems played a role in those bad policies, too? Dems were/are racist, too. |

Good point. I would take advice about following the law from a law abiding law maker. I wouldn't be as receptive of criticism about a rodent infestipn from someone whose buildings and resorts have been cited for rodent infestations. . |

Yes, Dems have had plenty of racists in the party, especially in the mid-20th century who contributed to policies that kept AAs oppressed for most of the 20th century. Luckily many of those Democrats left when they saw the party was no longer willing to put up with them and was adopting civil rights into its platform. I know there are still racists who call themselves Democrats, though, because I'm from the midwest and know them. They might not call themselves racists, but they wouldn't be happy with black family moving next door or their child bringing home a black spouse. That's the sort of cr@p AA's still have to deal with even in the 21st century. |
