Can you imagine any of the Trumps ever deigning to live in Idaho? They are urban elitists and would never, ever consider it.


This is rich, considering the way in which liberals on DCUM (and elsewhere) constantly trash talk places like Idaho as "flyover country." Forget the Trumps - YOU are the urban elitists who would never, ever consider living there.

Meanwhile, I have lots of family in Idaho. It's a beautiful, clean place. Hope to retire there someday.


I mean, “flyover country” is a very weak criticism when compared to what Trump said about Baltimore and her residents.


Oh, please. He called out the rat-infestation, drawing attention to the abysmal living conditions many residents of Baltimore face. Are you actually denying there is a massive rat problem in B'more?

The entire system is corrupt from top to bottom. There are some good people, trying to do good things. And they're surrounded by people doing whatever they can to get whatever they can.


This. The corruption is massive. What exactly has happened to all of the gazillions of cash Baltimore got???


Which gazillions would that be?


The city (and its residents) gets a couple billion in aid each year. The vast majority is related to housing subsidies. In terms of direct payments to city hall, the number is on the order of hundred of millions.

Other billions are SS/Medicare, billions to JHU etc, the same stuff that people calculate when saying red states are a net drain.


Sources with actual numbers.


Just google it, the baltimore sun has an anti-trump article today where you can find the actual numbers.

If you actually want to engage in a discussion I highly recommend doing your own research rather than letting your "opponent" do research that supports their own position.

How much cash goes to the people of Baltimore City, is the question.


Anyone?


Why do you ask DCUM to do your research for you?

Ok, so you want to argue that this is not about rats at all, but about the people who live in Baltimore, that they're low class people who make it bad? Good luck with that line. We see you.



That’s right


Elitist who hates down-on-their-luck Americans.


That’s right. Total elitist who was born into Lafayette Courts and had to leave when the city blew it up to stop the crime. A foster family in Dundalk took me in for a tear until I could join the Navy at 17. The only people I dislike are those who sanctify down-on-their-luck Americans rather than tell them to stop being slobs and to clean up their homes.


Nothing like a sober alcoholic who rips on others who don't manage to overcome their disease.


That’s right. Some of the flag officers I worked for did well with AA. It could help you too.

No one else has noticed the current state of Baltimore?


No one else has noticed the current state of depressed rural America?

Have you ever been to Idaho? How do you know what it’s like?


I'm sure it's beautiful. Can you imagine Donald, Melania, Ivanka, or Jared moving there? In any scenario?
