Cummings’ district encompasses a lot more than Baltimore. What specifically did Trump say that made you think he was referring to Baltimore?

Because Howard County is a decent place to live and is doing better than many red counties.

You are unironically producing the map of the gerrymandered district to prove some obtuse point?!??!? Of course, Howard is a nice county. Chairman Cummings is most closely identified as being a Rep from Baltimore. Nothing nefarious here.

Maryland is one gerrymandered state. You want to take that up as an issue, take a look at Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia etc. Yes, let's get every state to have an impartial commission and have guidelines that make every congressional district make sense.

Oh, and get this, folks: you know which "human beings" do live in Cummings' district? Several thousand people in the apartment complexes owned by one Jared Kushner, who fails to maintain the units and takes tenants to court to squeeze more $$ out of them.

"Baltimore-area renters complain about a property owner they say is neglectful and litigious. Few know their landlord is the president’s son-in-law."

Well, damn.

I learned it from watching you!

Like the NY Times with its excellent reporting on Jared Kushner, Baltimore slumlord:

More proof Trump doesn’t know anything. Cummings lives in Baltimore year round. He also doesn’t actually govern it. Trump said the same thing about Pelosi. They’re not mayors.

Leaders don't have influence with their peers? Everyone knows Leader Pelosi's dad was powerful in Baltimore. And the claim that Chairman Cummings didn't know about his Baltimore constituents increasing problems, for decades, is hard to believe since they have been widely reported. For example: see today's WaPo metro section B4 for more information.

How about slumlords like Jared Kushner. Surely he knows about the terrible conditions in the properties his company manages. It's hard to believe he doesn't know about such things as reported in this story from 2 years ago. Or do you think he's like his father-in-law and doesn't read?

lol everyone in this area thinks the same thing about EOTR. Especially white liberals bunch of hypocrites

The complacency of this forum in the status quo for some is disturbing. Thank God for those who seek to remedy the injustices.

309 homicides in 2018.

I thought you people have been telling us that under Trump and with easy access to guns that rates of violent crimes are down. Which is it?

Something significant happened between 2014 and 2015 in Baltimore. Does anyone know?

The homicides had been in 200s before 2015. Ever since 2015 it has been in the 300s. What happened?

Anything to do with Freddie Gray?

That's probably it. Freddie Gray died in April of 2015. It appears that one tragedy had a profound impact on the city.

This twitter thread is epic.

Trump calls Cummings' district a "disgusting rat and rodent infested mess." Maybe he's referring to this Kushner-owned rental unit: "Marquita Parmely, a truck driver, told me she had a mouse infestation severe enough that her 12-year-old daughter recently found one in her bed..."
12:40 PM · Jul 27, 2019

"...Parmely also has a 2-year-old with asthma, which is aggravated by allergens in mice droppings. She moved her own bed & other furniture away from the walls to dissuade mice, kept the family’s laundry in tote bags after mice started appearing in the hamper & vacuumed 2X a day."

Or maybe Trump is referring to the maggots at this Kushner unit: "The bedroom ceiling started leaking one day. Then maggots started coming out of the living-room carpet. Then raw sewage started flowing out of the kitchen sink. 'It sounded like someone turned a pool upside down.'"

"'I heard the water hitting the floor and I panicked. I got out of bed and the sink is black and gray, it’s pooling out of the sink and the house smells terrible.' Cox stopped cooking for herself and her son, not wanting food near the sink."

"When she moved out soon afterward, Westminster Management [Kushner's property management company] sent her a $600 invoice for a new carpet and other repairs." Again, it's all here:

The President and Members cares about the residents enough to pay the First Step Act. I think that speaks volumes.

Is it a stretch to claim the conditions on the border in the CBP facilities are cleaner and better maintained than a city with a well-documented corrupt government?

You realize people like Jim Jordan "oversee" a congressional district with more crime and less median income and employment, right?

Trump and his followers do think about the language they use and who it hurts. It hurts exactly the people they want

Not just DJT. The GOP has also collectively taken leave of its senses.

Nope, if one is still in the GOP, this is who they are.
