Yes, Cummings’ district is a sh*thole- and here’s the proof. Now 6 updates- lots of new stuff added

Pelosi did not call Sanders a racist. Neither did anyone else. So anyone and everyone who did not call Sanders a racist and now hurls the racist epithet at Trump now is just full of sh*t.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Over and over liberal hypocrisy is exposed.

I wonder where the money to help the people of West Baltimore keeps going?

Elijah Cummings and wife suspected of stealing millions from charity

Naturally, Nancy Pelosi immediately asserted that this was a racist attack.

It was hurtful as hell to the people of Baltimore, Maryland, whether the jackass who posted it meant it to be racist or not. This is the President of the United States speaking to the people of the United States. What the unholy hell is wrong with this man?

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!

The fundamental problem is that this man is a defective human being. He is totally unfit for office. Never in the history of the United States have we had a worse or more destructive president.

@Greg:

Not nearly as LIVING there. Cummins cares so much for those people that he steals from their non-profits. What a giver.

Never in the history of the United States have we had a worse or more destructive president.

So far, the only thing Trump has destroyed is Obama’s attempt to drag this country into socialism and poverty. He has rebuilt the economy, rebuilt confidence in the economy, rebuilt trust in this nation, rebuilt the strength of the military and is rebuilding the security of our border.

Baltimore was practically destroyed by Democrats’ false accusations, once again using race as a political weapon, about Freddy Gray’s death. Democrats don’t care about the safety and livelihood of citizens; they care about creating misery and using that misery as a political weapon. It is repeated over and over and over everywhere Democrats have the power to do so.

How is it racist if it is TRUE?

@DrJohn: UPDATE

This is how Democrats combat facts; they try to destroy the messenger. They try to mix THEIR lies with HER truth.

Sandy: “Cummings should be respected because he picked ME to be on the Oversight Committee.”

Not helping, Sandy.

Trump, tellin’ it like it is.

Oh, yes, Greggie Goebbels; words are much more hurtful that living in a trash ridden neighborhood where rats, who can carry the plague, breed with rapid expansion. Nothing more like having the POTUS tell the truth about a Congress critter’s failure to work to resolve the problems in his own district. That really has to be much more hurtful than having your child bitten by a rat as the child sleeps.

Perhaps Trumps words will cause the people of Baltimore to wake up and realize that they are not being well served by the man who has fed them a fairy tale for decades, while resting on his laurels as a “civil rights” warrior. I would think the citizens of Baltimore have a civil right to live in a rodent free environment, but obviously your TDS has so destroyed your brain that you feel the President doesn’t have a right to call out the failure of Cummings.

Odd thing; with all the scandal surrounding Cummings, and his wife, the President should request Cummings tax returns and instruct the IRS to deeply investigate them for cause.

Here’s how it works:
Trump tweets something the Left screams is outrageous.
The media go mad backing up the Leftist shrieking.
Then the media takes a look at the issue.
Sees Trump was right.
Crickets.

In this case the Baltimore rat/trash issue is immediately called a race issue.
Odd.
When we had rats in Long Beach/Los Angeles Ports we never had an issue with calling it a rat problem.
Race had nothing to do with it.
Supporting a feral cat population was our solution.
Baltimore should try it.
Of course, 1st they’d have to quit calling it a race problem long enough to look for a viable solution.

@Randy:

The reaction to Trump’s comments about Cumming’s district of Baltimore shows exactly how damn dumb the Democrats are. By calling Trump a racist, people are actually looking at Baltimore and the issues there. What Trump did was put a spotlight on Baltimore and the fact that the Democrat run city has failed its residents.

It will be interesting to watch the big (Democrat) rats now start scrambling but the photos taken by residents and the documentary made two years ago will be front and center now.

You CAN NOT make this stuff up!!

@Steve: You don’t understand the liberal mindset. See, liberals are free to say and do whatever they want but Republicans are “RACIST” if they respond. Or, they can accuse the President of treason, of collusion with Russians, of being a Russian agent but if Trump responds, he is “obstructing”. Liberals do NOT like a fair debate; the have to have the only voice in the room or else their argument is exposed as lying garbage.

What Trump has done is call out these grandstanding Democrats to practice what they preach. Thus far, each and every one he has returned fire on has been corrupt and lying. One day, maybe, liberals may start looking at their own situations and realize exactly WHO is putting them behind the eight ball.

@Greg: What we’ve got here is corrupt, lying, morally depraved billionaire openly expressing his contempt for how poor black people trapped in America’s neglected urban areas are forced to live.

Who wanted to trap people in big cities and tall tower apartment buildings?
It was Obama.
Who wanted Americans to quit driving cars and truck but to rely on public transportation instead?
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/02/04/fact-sheet-president-obamas-21st-century-clean-transportation-system
It was Obama.

In light of that look at how subway riders react to a rat on their subway car in NYCity.
These are not “poor blacks.”
They are New Yorkers.
They live in a big city in tall apartment buildings.
And they have abandoned their use of private vehicles.

This is Obama’s (the greenies) dream come true.

@Greg: You get further out every day with every post. Dementia must run in your family, too. You can not even look at all of the failing cities in the US with out crying “RACIST”. What the real issue is that Democrats have trapped minorities into ghettos with promises, takes their votes and provides them with pretty things to keep them happy. When someone draws attention to the issue, they are racists. I print out your posts and show them to people here in Colorado who did not immigrate from California. You are good for laughs every morning.

@Greg:

If you did not suffer from terminal acute anal-cranial disease, and had bothered to look at the videos of the trash/rat infested areas of Baltimore, you would have seen that people of all skin tones live in those areas. Unfortunately, due to your malady, you seem to think that only black Americans are poor.

Trump is deliberately provoking anger and deliberately widening racial and political divisions

Remind us again, Greggie Goebbels, what administration gave us “Pigs in a blanket. Fry them like bacon” and “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now.” Or such monumental events as the beer summit when an entire police department was smeared by the President because of one of his black friends or maybe a President who involved himself in the death of a kid who he said if he had a son he would look like that kid? Yeah, remind us all again of the excellent race relations in this country due to the actions of the previous administration.

@DrJohn: But no one is allowed to point out problems that only Democrats can be held responsible for. The filth in Baltimore, as well as other big cities, has been pointed out numerous time and NOT declared “racist”, but only when Trump does it, absolutely truthfully, does it suddenly, magically, politically, become racist.

In what way is this racist? Because Cummings is black? I think using skin color as the deciding factor in any position (even defense of the indefensible) is the definition of racism, or prejudice at the very least.

@Randy: Democrats prove themselves to be the racists in these cities. They rely on their belief that they can keep minorities in poverty and squalor if they hand them enough sustenance to just barely stay alive. Filth, rats, poverty and crime takes a back seat to their desire to dilute the voting rolls with illegal immigrants; those living in their rat sanctuaries won’t complain and will keep voting Democrat. Their support for sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants has had a devastating effect on conditions.

July 29, 2019 — House Republicans plan yearly retreat in Baltimore despite Trump’s attacks

President Trump on Saturday called Baltimore a “very dangerous & filthy place” and suggested that Democratic politicians, including Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, had made the city all but uninhabitable.

Leaders of Trump’s party appear to disagree: House Republicans have scheduled their yearly policy retreat for a downtown Baltimore hotel in September, according to two senior Republicans familiar with the plans.

That could present an uncomfortable situation for Trump, as sitting presidents customarily speak each year at their party’s House retreat.

The Republicans spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe arrangements that have yet to be made public. The website for the hotel, the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, and multiple third-party hotel booking sites show the hotel as sold out for the days of the retreat, Sept. 12 to 14, while showing availability at other nearby hotels.

During past congressional retreats, Capitol Police have cordoned off the premises to all but lawmakers and authorized attendees, meaning no unrelated guests are permitted.

The House Republican Conference handles the retreat planning in conjunction with the nonprofit Congressional Institute. Jeremy Adler, a spokesman for the conference chairwoman, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), did not respond to a request for comment Monday. Congressional Institute President Mark Strand did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment.

Trump over the weekend issued Twitter attacks on Baltimore and Cummings (D-Md.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

The panel has issued multiple subpoenas targeting the Trump administration. The committee voted last week to authorize subpoenas for White House work communications sent via personal email and cellphone, amid questions about whether the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in law, Jared Kushner, violated federal record-keeping laws.

Cummings has also sought testimony from White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a government watchdog found that she violated a law that forbids federal government employees from engaging in certain campaign activities.

“If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership,” Trump said in one Sunday tweet. “His radical ‘oversight’ is a joke!”

The Marriott Waterfront is not in Cummings’s district, though just barely — it is four blocks inside the edge of Democrat John Sarbanes’s circuitous 3rd District in Baltimore’s Harbor East neighborhood.

The GOP retreat was originally scheduled for the remote Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., in late January, but Republican leaders postponed it because of the then-pending government shutdown. Democrats also postponed their retreat, rescheduling it for May at a suburban Virginia resort.

Baltimore has been a frequent destination for both parties’ legislative retreats. Republicans last held their retreat in the same Marriott in 2016; Democrats huddled at a nearby Hyatt Regency last year.

Lawmakers and congressional staffers are fond of Baltimore as a retreat location because of its proximity to Washington, cutting down on travel time to and from the Capitol, as well as the wealth of off-premises tourism options for family members who sometimes join them.

Ah, yes, “…the wealth of off-premises tourism options for family members who sometimes join them.” Rat World is probably a favorite family amusement location.

Name a city the size of Baltimore in any state, red or blue, that doesn’t have its own share of serious urban problems.

President Trump on Saturday called Baltimore a “very dangerous & filthy place” and suggested that Democratic politicians, including Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, had made the city all but uninhabitable.

Maybe they want to see what they can do the Democrats have failed to do. What better way to get minority votes. You just never get it Greg!

@Greg: Like Cummings’ residence, no doubt the “retreat” will be in a location that has been freed of rats, garbage and poor people. Democrats HATE hobnobbing with THEM unless they can get their acting lessons beforehand.

However, MOST of Baltimore, like anywhere else liberals rule, is a rat infested trash heap.

Trump has improved the employment prospects for blacks. He has also provided billions of dollars for inner city revitalization. He has proposed infrastructure spending, but Democrats would rather pretend they are going to impeach him and search endlessly for grounds. Cummings drew Trump’s ire when he bullied the CBP for not being able to handle the problem DEMOCRATS created, DEMOCRATS deny exists and DEMOCRATS would not provide additional funds to handle.

I don’t know about you, but I see a distinctive pattern.

@Greg:

Remind me again; when was Donald Trump the federal Congressman to New York?

Elijah Cummings has been Congressman to Maryland’s 7th Congressional district for 13 THIRTEEN terms. For the math challenged, like you, that is almost 26 years. How has Baltimore improved in that time?

Don’t bother to answer because it has not improved

Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Detroit, all failures………….all run by Democrats for decades.

@retire05, #34:

Remind me again; when was Donald Trump the federal Congressman to New York?

As I recall, Donald Trump has no prior experience in government or public service, either civilian or military, of any kind whatsoever. Government and the rule of law have been viewed by Donald Trump primarily as obstacles to acquisition and to the fulfillment of personal desires and ambitions, unless they could be somehow used to his own advantage.

Consider yourself reminded.

@Greg:

As I recall, Donald Trump has no prior experience in government or public service,

There you go, Greggie Goebbels. He was, unlike Elijah Cummings, never a Congressman for New York.

How do you explain Cummings 25 year tenure and his district is a rat hole, literally?

. Government and the rule of law have been viewed by Elijah Cummings primarily as obstacles to acquisition and to the fulfillment of personal desires and ambitions, unless they could be somehow used to his own advantage.

Fixed it for you and that is the very reason Cummings, and his crooked wife, are under scrutiny for their 501(c)3.

@Greg: Americans tired of lying thieving scheming politicians voted for Trump. Trump is a solutions guy, how to get things done and solve problems, if he has to hurt feelings and step on toes of those in the way thats just what has to be done, he had hundreds of lawyers to keep it legal if just barely but legal. Plenty of politicians took his money to smooth the way to his success. He played their system of corruption, he knows it all to well. He has dealt with the mob, who are most likely more honest and honorable than the long term pols in our congress who made their multi-millions deep in pay for play, dems now are the party of the ultra wealthy, look at the biggest political donors they are not supporting conservatives. The ultra wealthy want all the jobs to go where there are no child labor laws no OSHA no unions no protection of the environment.

@kitt:

Americans tired of lying thieving scheming politicians voted for Trump.

That’s wonderful. Please regale me with tales of The Great Swamp Draining and The King of the Alligators, and tell me how giving the richest people in the country huge permanent tax cuts has no relationship to the recurrence of trillion-dollar annual deficits when the economy is as strong it can be expected to get.

Remind me how many of the original FBI elite involved in spying on a Presidential candidate are left?

In authoritarian states, that’s called a purge. It’s where power is consolidated and your position is protected by methodically getting rid of or disempowering your critics and opponents. The first phase involved purging the Republican Party. Those who weren’t pro-Trump and didn’t fall into line weren’t true conservatives or true republicans.

That was necessary to clear the way for purging the Executive Branch, a process which is now nearly complete. To begin with, he pretty much cleaned house at the State Department, ridding it of any continuity of experience and expertise, and of any critics of his totally incoherent foreign policy. Next came the FBI and DoJ, for entirely obvious reasons. The intelligence community was demeaned and disparaged—in fact, Vladimir Putin’s assessments were sometimes more readily embraced that those of our own experts. Now the Director of National Intelligence will be replaced by the equivalent of William Barr. The EPA, Treasury, the IRS, Commerce, the Department of Education—all headed now by reliable toadies for specific purposes, or by representatives of the very special interests that they’re supposed to be regulating.

The Judicial Branch will necessarily be a far slower process, owing to the nature of judicial appointments, but it’s coming right along.

The Fourth Estate, however, presents a very serious problem. He has no direct power over them. All he can really do is try to discredit responsible journalistic outlets as a source of information, turning them into “the enemy of the people”—a phrase formerly only heard in connection with authoritarian propaganda outlets.

The foregoing, and all that he does to widen divisions and stoke fear and anger, are part of a pattern that has been seen in many places, many times before. Either they fail when they’re eventually recognized, or there’s hell to pay.

@kitt: @DrJohn: @Randy:

I watched an interview with the residents of Elijah Cumming’s district yesterday. To a person, they all knew who he was but couldn’t ever remember seeing him in their neighborhoods. And to a person, they reaffirmed just how bad their neighborhoods are with long-ago abandoned buildings, rat infestation and trash everywhere that the City of Baltimore will not pick up or clean up.

One thing President Trump has achieved with his dustup between him and Cummings is to bring to light the sorry state of Cummings’ district. It is all over the news. Let’s see if Cummings, who now has over a month off from his duties in Congress, actually goes to his district to try to get something done and some relief for his constituents. If he does, that’s a win for President Trump by forcing Cummings to do his damn job. And a win for the people of Maryland’s 7th Congressional district.
