Republican operatives are desperate to keep this MONSTER Trump in the Oval Office. Why? The evidence is overwhelming. It appears to this lopsided observer that Trump Supporters are, as Trump calls them, "poorly educated", uneducated and intellectually margin folks who grew up with a boatload of prejudices inculcated by their backwood, backward environs.
Some denominations of the 148 know divisions within the so-called "Christian Religion", believe that "Man is born a sinner". I seriously doubt that supposition. However, it is a wonderful "recruiting tools", which all religions seem to possess.
We have no control over to whom we might be born to, but, we can control what kind of a person we want to be.
"Not only are @RepCummings constituents NOT afraid of Trump, they are on board with his immigration policies. Residents are upset that illegal immigrants are taking the only jobs in the area. City contractors paying the illegals cash, leaving residents with no hope."
"He claims to care about children & their future, however in West Baltimore you will find abandoned homes on every block. Many filled with trash, rodents & homeless looking for shelter. Children live on these streets seen here. This district belongs to @RepCummings."
"Let's walk through a typical abandoned row house in West Baltimore. You will find at least one of these on every street. According to residents, there is an uptick in homeless thanks to the increase in drug inventory post 2015 riots. This is @RepCummings district, more to come..."
"8 blocks of row houses in West Baltimore are currently using water through a system hooked to the fire hydrants. Please listen to Michelle, a life long resident, discuss the water & her message to city officials. This is @RepCummings district."
"Residents constantly call the city to remove trash, no one shows up for months. Rats & roaches are a problem in almost every home. Illegal immigrants at the border live in better conditions than Americans in West Baltimore. This is @RepCummings district."
Supporters of Rep. Elijah Cummings shaded Donald Trump on Twitter. They pointed out that even though he said Baltimore was “disgusting rat and rodent infested," places represented by his GOP allies were actually in terrible condition.
President Trump’s critics think he has some nerve blasting Elijah Cummings and his Maryland district as “disgusting rat and rodent infested” considering some of the districts of his Republican apparently struggling with issues of homelessness, poverty and waste.
Critics took to social media to blast photos of neighborhoods in Republican-controlled districts in Ohio, Kentucky and California’s San Joaquin Valley and Fresno, according to Newsweek. These congressional districts are controlled by Trump supporters, including Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Rep. Devin Nunes ’ district in California.
Further, some Democratic Twitter users pointed out that 8 out of 10 states with the lowest poverty levels in the United States are blue states, while 8 out of 9 states with the highest level of poverty across this great land of ours are red states, according to Census data.
But Trump remained undaunted in his attacks.
On Saturday, Trump continued to rant about Cummings’ district, which is comprised of much of Baltimore and outlying areas of Maryland, calling Cummings’ district “far worse and more dangerous” than the Southern Border with Mexico, adding “His district is considered the Worst in the USA.”
Trump’s allies at Fox News joined right in, sharing photos and video of seedy parts of Baltimore while ignoring other areas in the city and across Cummings’ district.
On Sunday, White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said that he would have been “fired” if he ever ran his former South Carolina congressional district the way Cummings is running his.
Cummings supporters fired back with their own images of poverty and crime, which show that there is much work to do in Republican districts without their need to vilify or point fingers elsewhere. Many of the photos taken and shared by Democrats were shot in rural and agricultural areas held by members of the GOP.
To read this John, one would think that the President attacked Cummings out of thin air. Cummings as chairman of the powerful oversight committee was screaming last week at DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan, falsely claiming that children being detained were sitting in "their own feces." It was disgraceful. If I was McAleenan I would have got up and fractured his jaw. The President hit back after his DHS Secretary was abused. He called attention to Cummings own district, which is a filthy dangerous city. Cummings is not used to criticism, hes been privileged.
Good points. Trump is again being called a racist as he's about to execute a "white supremacist, trying to free a black rapper from a foreign jail, after presiding over historic levels of low unemployment among minorities, pursued prison reform, which directly affects many minorities and right now he is calling out the absent leaders of a city where minorities are the main victims of crime and blight.
That government already told the trump admin that it's out of their hands. There is literally nothing trump could do to get this kid home and he knows it. So why plaster it all over the news? To justify the fact that he constantly attacks non white people.....over and over again.
Owsley County is a county located in the Eastern Coalfield region of the U.S. state of Kentucky . As of the 2010 census , the population was 4,755, [1] making it the second-least populous county in Kentucky. The county seat is Booneville . [2] The county was organized on January 23, 1843, from Clay, Estill, and Breathitt counties and named for William Owsley (1782–1862), the judge of the Kentucky Court of Appeals and Governor of Kentucky (1844–48). [3]
According to the 2010 census reports, Owsley County has the second-highest level of child poverty of any county in the United States. [4] In terms of income per household, the county is the poorest in the nation. [5] Between 1980 and 2014, the rate of death from cancer in the county increased by 45.6 percent, the largest such increase of any county in the United States. [6]

There are signed affidavits that say exactly that Vic. The OIG report reflects the same disgusting conditions.
The President hit back after his DHS Secretary was abused.
Oh PLEASE! The GOP has treated officials the same or worse in hearings. Hell, Graham nearly blew a gasket in a Judiciary hearing.
Trump has corrupted the GOP, turning it into the "GOVERNMENT OF PUTIN". Trump has been compromised by the Russians, and, does not care, as long as he can be paid handsomely for his treason.
GREED is infectious and has brought down more people than any other temptress. "What does a man gain . . . if he loses his soul"?
I am sure that had Obama treated ONLY white members of congress the way trump attacks non white members of congress, they would have run to his defense like they do with trump...
I have no doubt some would have tried to lynch Obama had he acted towards white Americans the way Trump has acted towards non-white Americans. There would have been a tiki torch march on the white house lawn along with a few burning crosses. Heck, just being a black President had some readying their torches and straightening their hoods.
Where were the lynch mobs when he denigrated Americans?
You mean when President Obama accurately described a segment of America? I still see nothing wrong with that comment and its proved even more true today.
Is it time for a "Whup Azz March" on the Whitehouse. Trump should be impeached for his racist remarks, his and his family's theft in office and for that damn "haircut".
I simply can not get though this article. I am cracking up; in stitches; "pepper bellied." John, sir you are a riot! The one-liners on this thread are "Priceless."
Not a surprise.

Choose, wisely, my friend.
Nice try John - nice try.
Here are some of the videos Klacik tweeted out:

Kentucky , represented in the Senate by Mitch McConnell, ranks 47th out of the 50 states for the highest poverty rate.
What the hell has McConnell been doing all these years?
He has one of the poorest most backwards states in the country. What is his room to complain about someone else?
Good points. Trump is again being called a racist as he's about to execute a "white supremacist, trying to free a black rapper from a foreign jail, after presiding over historic levels of low unemployment among minorities, pursued prison reform, which directly affects many minorities and right now he is calling out the absent leaders of a city where minorities are the main victims of crime and blight.
Your'e not getting it John. This started with Cummings.
He plays people like you like a violin. Let's call him Trumpedivarius
In other words you can't grasp this. Fair enough. No need for the insults. Have a good night.
That government already told the trump admin that it's out of their hands. There is literally nothing trump could do to get this kid home and he knows it. So why plaster it all over the news? To justify the fact that he constantly attacks non white people.....over and over again.
Who was following the law.
What insult?
lol. Kentucky is 47th out of 50 states for poverty level, and you find a way to praise it. You are a dedicated Trumper !
Can you explain why Mitch McConnell's home state has one of the worst poverty rates in the nation or not? It doesnt seem like it.
Trump won't attack the Turtle because they are joined at the shell.
You really fell for Trump's bullshit lies about that?
Coal is dying primarily because of natural gas. Trump can't bring coal back, and Obama didn't kill it.
Republicans love touting "CAPITALISM", unless it is working against one of their cash donors.

Those coal miners lost their jobs long before Obama became president
What won't they blame on President Obama FFS?
Also tRump removed the funding that would provide these coal miners with training so that they could find other jobs.
Off topic John - but you know that.
There are signed affidavits that say exactly that Vic. The OIG report reflects the same disgusting conditions.
Oh PLEASE! The GOP has treated officials the same or worse in hearings. Hell, Graham nearly blew a gasket in a Judiciary hearing.
The seeded article mentions Mitch McConnells state and the poverty in it.
Im not getting how you come to the conclusion that it is off topic.
Trump has corrupted the GOP, turning it into the "GOVERNMENT OF PUTIN". Trump has been compromised by the Russians, and, does not care, as long as he can be paid handsomely for his treason.
GREED is infectious and has brought down more people than any other temptress. "What does a man gain . . . if he loses his soul"?
You don't say? Does everyone know? lol.
So, why aren't the tweets listed in the seeded article racist?
Trump has a long history of racism... it's well documented.
The seeded article doesn't include any tweets from Donald Trump.
Why aren't the seeded tweets racist?
I am sure that had Obama treated ONLY white members of congress the way trump attacks non white members of congress, they would have run to his defense like they do with trump...

Bingo... Well said.
So, are you really saying you think Obama should have been lynched?
It surely sounds like it. What for? Are there lynch mobs out for Trump?
You mean when President Obama accurately described a segment of America? I still see nothing wrong with that comment and its proved even more true today.
Is it time for a "Whup Azz March" on the Whitehouse. Trump should be impeached for his racist remarks, his and his family's theft in office and for that damn "haircut".
Neither do I. I grew up amongst that attitude and see it even more keenly where I live today
These pictures are obviously racist.
/s for the slow.
HA!
I simply can not get though this article. I am cracking up; in stitches; "pepper bellied." John, sir you are a riot! The one-liners on this thread are "Priceless."
