The 16 or so public housing development has been infested with rats and mice for decades. And some of this has all to do with the habits of the people who call these places home.

Baltimore got a $200,000 federal grant to fund pest control in public housing and intends to outsource to a private company. It is also investing in community education.

The pattern is that non White men who pick fights with Trump are rebuked much more harshly than other people. Trump can see good in people who chant "Jews will not replace Whites" and sees poor Whites as victims of bad trade policy but any similar complaints by non Whites and they are SOBs or need to go back where they came from.

Now Trump makes the Democrats defend Rat infested, high crime, failed Democrat run cities as models for America.

Oh well, nice try Dems. You lose again.
Stop with the "whatabout-isms already.

It seems like that is your last defense to justify Trump's blatant racism.

Loyalty to Trump got Cohen a prison sentence so go down that rabbit hole if you want!

Cummings has been there for 26 years. He is part of the problem. He has been a miserable failure!!!

Rising sea level could take half the city in the next couple centuries. What's left may get hammered by hurricanes. A port may still be needed there, but I expect most of the population will be moving up into the Appalachians.

Yep. I remember when Trump tried to tell Obama to clean up Baltimore.

I would take that to mean that Trump needs to clean up Baltimore himself.

He said the country is going to hell. Maybe that means he should leave.

Don't bother explaining civics to the Trump crowd. In one ear and out the other.
