There’s hyperbole and there’s flat out lies. This fits the latter.

Blow's column in NYT should be read by every American. Trump's rhetoric is truly dangerous.

"This talk of infestation is telling, because he only seems to apply it to issues concerning black and brown people. He has sniped about the “Ebola infested areas of Africa.” He has called Congressman John Lewis’s Atlanta district “crime infested” as well as telling him to focus on “the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S.” He has called sanctuary cities a “crime infested & breeding concept.” He has talked about how “illegal immigrants” will “pour into and infest our Country.” He has called the presence of the MS-13 gang members “in certain parts of our country” an “infestation.”

None of this is about crime as a discrete phenomenon, but rather about inextricably linking criminality to blackness. White supremacy isn’t necessarily about rendering white people as superhuman; it is just as often about rendering nonwhite people as subhuman. Either way the hierarchy is established, with whiteness assuming the superior position."

In the footage, Pugh tours an area of vacant houses with city leaders and says: “What the hell? We should just take all this [expletive] down.”
And then:“Whoa, you can smell the rats.”


That is not Racist.

April 2019 - Baltimore Sun Editorial says

Yet, here we are again in a mess of a city. Food containers, balled up clothes, paper, banana peels, plastic bags and tons of other pieces of litter line the shoulders of roads, pile up in alleys and are strewn across fields and yards. Not only is it unsightly and contributes to a rodent problem, but it can create a glum and gloomy feel


That is not Racist

Somehow when Trump points it out, the same Baltimore Sun calls him Racist?



There is a difference between rats and what Trump was referring to. He was not talking about literal rats when he used the word 'infestation."



Here is his exact quote: Cummings district is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. How is that different? Why are you making up the word "infestation" when he did not use that word?


But everyone knows he isn't talking about rodents. He doesn't have a rodent count for each Congressional district, he knows it is a majority-black district, so he says it is infested, just as he said about John Lewis's district when he made the outrageous claim, then as now, that Members of Congress from these districts should not speak about the country as a whole, only their own districts, unlike the Republican Members of Congress from poor majority-white states whom he regards as experts on everything because they agree with every stupid thing he says and whom he appoints as Cabinet Secretaries, WH Chief of Staff, etc.


You are now making up stuff and deciding what he "meant" not looking at what he said. Your "he knows it is a majority black district, so he says it is infested" is just dumb. He says it is rat infested, because it is, not because it is majority black. Baltimores own Mayor says it is rat infested, is She a racist too?

How is calling a rat infested place, rat infested, racist? It's a fact. If it was not a shithole, but he called it one because black people lived there, thats pretty racist. The problem is, he called a shithole a shithole. Calling him Racist for pointing out the obvious is easier than cleaning up your neighborhood I guess....


Tell us O wise one, why is it that he never calls out the shitholes of rural America? They do exist you know. But all the shitholes he calls out are inhabited by people of color, where as rural American shitholes tend to be white.

Show me an example of him complaining about those shitty rat-infested trailer parks. Ooh does that raise your hackles?


I feel a lot safer in eastern Kentucky than I do in Baltimore. Just saying. Poor and violent crime are not synonymous.


Wait, are you saying that Donald Trump WASN'T talking about rats after all?? That he was talking about crime, committed by human beings? But that doesn't go along with the narrative that he was ONLY talking about the rat infestations.

I lived in baltimore from 2006-2008. I heard gunshots weekly. I still felt safer walking in Mt. Vernon or Charles Village at night than downtown Fargo.

Flyover america is full of meth-heads and rednecks who are just waiting to shank you or lynch you.

That said, both places are really third world places.

We need more Boulder, Colorado's in this country asap (in terms of QoL).


Boulder is full of degenerates. We need more Nashville’s and Louisville’s.


Too many fat people and tobacco use in the latter two to be useful models.

Park city actually would be the best model.

Liberal, clean, fit.


Manhattan. Lots of culture, easy to get around, great places to eat, so much to do and see.

When I lived there I'd walk home by myself at 2 in the morning and never had any issues with crime. I lived over off 8th Avenue and 14th.

Sure, dude. Just like how when Obama was president, everything bad was his fault, but now that Trump is president, everything bad is someone else's fault. Not buying it.

He needs to get kushner to fix up his apartments. First son in law is a slumlord.

you know I think the Trump family is not bringing their best. They're bringing their slumlords and racists and liars and cheats. And I'm sure a few of them are very fine people.

He’s a bigoted blowhard. He is too busy lining his families pockets to care about leading a Nation. There is no complex thought in his addled mind.
