Stepping into Baltimore is like stepping into the future. Thanks to its politics never having been corrupted by any right-wing elements, the city is almost free of problems. Shiny towers touch the sky, people happily travel from glass dome to glass dome in their flying cars, and not a trace of dirt or grime is found anywhere, thanks to the city's perfect central planning. Crime is unknown in Baltimore, since they have compassionate measures to reform criminals instead of punishing them. And there is no such thing as poverty or income inequality because of the Democrats’ tight control of the economy.

HUD Regional Administrator Lynne Patton:
"President Trump has given $16 billion in 2018 alone to Elijah Cummings' district in federal grants."
“We have given more money in homeless funds to Baltimore than the last administration. We have given more in community development grants than the last administration to Baltimore."
My question to you guys is this: What are you actually doing with the money so that it actually benefits residents in the community for once instead of deep-pocketed, crooked politicians.”

$16b? Wouldn't it just be cheaper to house them all in the Waldorf Astoria and be done with it? Three hots and a cot for way less than we are spending now, and the homeless get to live in style.
Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings declined an offer to tour a Baltimore Housing and Urban Development (HUD) facility with HUD secretary Ben Carson on Wednesday.
HUD invited Cummings to tour the facility with Carson on Tuesday, however Cummings rejected the invitation, the Daily Caller has learned.

^^^ Why are posting things by white supremacists? I'd prefer they be ignored and not given view counts.

Did you notice the quotation marks around the white supremacist label? Did you watch the video? Apparently not, only three minutes elapsed between my post and your response and the vid is ~8.5 minutes long. Please watch the fucking video.

I notice there have been a bunch of articles on properties that the Trump family own in Baltimore. I wonder how many buildings the Cummings family own in Baltimore? Those grants and fed money have to be going somewhere.This message has been edited. Last edited by: jsbcody,
PBS Aired ‘Rat Film’ Documentary About Baltimore’s Rodent Problem in 2018
More than a year before Donald Trump criticized Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) in a tweet on Saturday for ignoring his Baltimore district’s “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” PBS aired a documentary titled Rat Film about the city’s rodent problem.
The Baltimore Sun reported on February 26, 2018, that the documentary “about Baltimore’s rodent fight” was scheduled “to air on PBS” that evening:
Across walls, fences, and alleys rats not only expose our boundaries of separation but make homes in them. “Rat Film” is a feature-length documentary that uses the rat—as well as the humans that love them, live with them, and kill them–to explore the history of Baltimore. “There’s never been a rat problem in Baltimore, it’s always been a people problem.”
“Rat Film,” a documentary that takes the decades-long fight waged against Baltimore’s rat population and uses it as a lens through which to look at how the city has addressed myriad social issues over the decades, airs tonight on PBS.
The hour-long documentary from Baltimore filmmaker Theo Anthony, a crowd favorite at last May’s Maryland Film Festival, airs at 10 p.m. on Maryland Public Television as the latest episode of PBS’s “Independent Lens” series. It repeats at 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.
A longer version of Anthony’s film played festival, as well as at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway in September. In chronicling Baltimore’s decades-long battle against its unwelcome rodent population, Anthony details some disturbing parallels with the ways city leaders have tried to deal with various urban situations.
The Sun reviewed the documentary in an article titled “‘Rat Film’ highlights Baltimore’s rat warfare, urban planning failures,” five months earlier in September 2017, four months after it premiered at the Maryland Film Festival:
It started with a rat trapped inside Theo Anthony’s outdoor trash can.
“Absolutely, what you see is really how it came about,” the Baltimore-based filmmaker says of his first documentary feature, “Rat Film,” which opens Friday in Baltimore, New York and Chicago. “I had come home one night, and I heard this sound in my trash can. So I whipped out my cellphone and just started filming.”
That brief footage, of the trapped rat desperately trying to jump a few inches higher than conventional wisdom says a rat should be able to jump, kicks off an 80-minute rumination on Baltimore’s decades-long battle against its unwelcome rodent population, and some disturbing parallels Anthony discovered with the ways city leaders have tried to deal with various urban situations.
“With rats and urban planning and all the other things the film goes into, there was an incredible wealth of material out there, such as Dawn Day Biehler’s Pests in the City and Antero Pietila’s Not in My Neighborhood, and so it was really a matter of following a path that had been charted by the generous scholarship, histories, and experience of others that came before me. The film is a documentation of me trying to make sense of that path,” filmmaker Theo Anthony told PBS in 2018.
Asked by PBS if there was “anything you learned while researching and making Rat Film that really surprised you?” Anthony responded, “I wouldn’t call it surprising necessarily, but the ways in which all of these seemingly different moments in history—pest control, eugenics, urban planning—seemed to dovetail in the same institutions and ideologies was certainly unexpected.”

What the...for 16 billion they could have built a ton of row homes and created a ton of construction jobs.

Nope didn't watch it. Googled the name found first four listings said white supremacist, so I assumed that was the case. No clue who he is, I'm too lazy to do the research to find out. I can say that would really suck to be him if anytime someone googles your name the entire page is filled with things calling you a white supremacist if you are in fact not one.
Heck, Candice Owens was recently call a black, white supremacist. So words sort have lost all meaning at this point.

Guess we got to give them another $16b again, but this time we will say "pretty please use this money to unshithole-ify your city?" Yeah, that will work, we just have to make them pinkie swear this time. They could be give 20x as much and it still be a shithole city.

Some pos councilman from Baltimore or that area basically ambushed Tucker last night after he was invited on to talk about corruption in the city and the waste of federal money. Except he didn't. As soon as he was introduced, he said he's not there to talk about that but instead talk about "400 years of systemic racism" and that's why Baltimore is a shithole. Tucker looked blindsided.
Don't know how they let this guy on the air. His ultimate solution to the problem after Tucker humored him was, you guessed it, give us more money.
