gearhoundsHe should also mention that Baltimore has a problem with large rodents with a straight face and deadpan delivery.

IcabodOne person agrees with what West Baltimore is like:
"Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you're in a wealthy nation," Sanders told reporters later at the Freddie Gray Empowerment Center in Bolton Hill. "You would think that you were in a Third World country."

maximus_flaviusTrump has the Democrats defending Baltimore as a great city, when everyone with any sense knows that ain’t so.

Not so sure about that.
Elijah Cummings responds to President Trumps tweet.
“"Mr. President, I go home to my district daily.”

MicropterusI've been to Baltimore's inner harbor. Back in the 90s and early 2000s it was decent. Nowadays, it is a true shithole. You are taking your safety in your own hands if you walk around after dark.

These Are America's 50 Most Rat-Infested Cities
BY Emily Petsko
New York City, home to the subway pizza rat, is surprisingly not America’s most rodent-infested city. That dubious honor goes to Chicago, according to a new analysis spotted by Thrillist.
A breakdown of the “50 Rattiest Cities” in the U.S. has been compiled by Orkin, a pest control service with locations across the country. The company tallied up the number of commercial and residential rodent treatments it carried out in each city over a period of 12 months (September 15, 2017 to September 15, 2018) and then ranked them. While the evidence is anecdotal, as it comes from just one company, it does reveal the areas where rat exterminators are in high demand.
This is the fourth year in a row that Chicago has been named the country’s rattiest city. Orkin isn’t the first to notice the city’s rodent problem, either. In July, Chicago was reportedly dubbed the “rat capital of the U.S.” by apartment search service RentHop. It reportedly received more rat complaints than any other city last year—nearly 51,000 total. According to RentHop’s analysis, New York City came in second place, followed by Washington, D.C. and Boston.
That isn’t too far off from Orkin’s latest analysis. New York comes in at third place, just after Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. is fourth. The biggest boom in rat populations was seen in Portland, Maine, which jumped 19 spots from last year. Chance Strandell, residential service manager for Maine Pest Solutions, told New England Cable News that milder winters may be extending the rats’ breeding period. However, it’s unclear why rats seem to be multiplying in Maine in particular.
One pregnant rat can birth up to 12 babies in a single litter, and those pups can begin reproducing at just two months old. “So after a year, a busy pair of rat parents can have 15,000 descendants,” reports KATU in Portland, Oregon (number 24 on Orkin’s list).
Charleston, West Virginia, has also been teeming with rodents, having risen 17 spots from last year. Check out the full list of the 50 most rat-ridden cities below—and if you have musophobia (a fear of rats or mice), you may want to plot your move to one of the cities toward the bottom of the list.

mike28wIt would be interesting to superimpose these cities on a red/blue map (indicating republican/democrat) of the country.....Most but not all look like liberal cities to me . jmo

Ever since the riots, even with the heavy police presence, I wouldn't feel safe bringing my family down there in broad daylight. Evidently, the yutes will run up and snatch cell phones out of peoples hand, ala Brazil before the Olympics. I'll never set foot in that shithole city again.

Skins2881I've been to all but two of the top 9 rat infested cities. NYC and DC are the only of them I desire to visit again. I do not enter Baltimore, ever.
July 28, 2019, 11:41 AM
braillediverFunny it's the 9th most rat infested city. 6th in 2016.

.38supersigI saw the Cummings press release.
Either he can't read his speech but for a few words at a time, or someone is about to shovel a camel spider into his pants.
