[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump wasn't wrong. Outside of Johns Hopkins and the harbor,  it's a mess. Hogan knows that. Multiple homes on a block boarded up, trash in the streets, prostitutes openly soliciting in broad daylight, I saw all of these things on a recent drive through the city of B-more.

It could also be said about some parts of DC and probably other cities including in poor parts of the south and Appalachia but that doesn't make it any less true. People trying to defend the beauty of Baltimore look stupid.  Why cant we just be honest anymore?[/quote]

Well why can't folks be honest and say that was very un-Presidential of Dumb Donald?
What is he magically above criticism his damn self?[/quote]

People always say that about Trump. And it doesn't make him any less right in his comments on Baltimore. There are something that are politically incorrect to say as president. That doesn't make the statements factually incorrect.[/quote]

What's factually correct is that #45 is a straight up @sshole.  Now are you gonna try to defend his virtue and look stupid or you gonna accept the honest truth?[/quote]

Oh I agree he is. Baltimore is also a shith*le. Both are true.[/quote]

He called Third World countries “infested” with Ebola sh*tholes too.  You saying a city in the US is equivalent to a Third World country?
Are there dirt roads?  People starving covered in more flies than clothes living in huts and ravaged by disease?  Is that Baltimore?[/quote]

You took quite a few flying leaps here. He called Haiti and El Salvador shitholes. I dont believe either had an issue with Ebola. There is more than one criteria by which something can be called a shithole. Baltimore has the highest murder rate in the US (even higher than El Salvador ironically), last year a Baltimore teacher took to begging on social media for heat in the classroom showing kids freezing during class in full winter gear (yet somehow they've spent more on their schools than most places in the US), the schools are some of the worst academocally in the country (definitely in the state), not to mention the corruption in the elected officials that you can also find similar to some of those Shithole countries previously mentioned. All this after years of pouring money into the city.

All of these things and more have been reported recently by the Baltimore Sun. But of course pride has pushed many including the editors of the Sun to respond with indignation instead of being outraged that politicians many of whom have been there for years (Elijah Cummings) and still the place looks terrible.
