NY Fire Commissioners Call for New 9/11 Investigation, Citing “Overwhelming Evidence of Explosives” https://www.activistpost.com/2019/07...xplosives.html - .

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
There is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of his district, and of Baltimore itself. Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts. Shame!

Now I hope your sitting down, but I actually agree with you, that statement on it's own is not inherently racist, though he does not seem to mention shit holes that whites reside in - you should see what I have seen here in Arkansas, would not let my dog live in those places!
HOWEVER - seems to have slipped Trumps mind that his own Son in law is a slum lord owning many properties in Baltimore that have racked up hundreds of violations

its not the NYFD is a tinpot volunteer brigade committee that represent a borough of 40,000 people. Its akin to the Taupo district council saying they want a referendum.
Reminds me of the engineers/ pilots against 911 where most members were neither pilots or engineers.

Yeah I saw a photo essay about a place where the people live in near derelict trailers and the sewerage just flows out onto the ground behind the trailers.

Trump has fired off more angry tweets, this time aimed at Don Lemon who is the "dumbest man on television" and claiming that he, Trump, is the least racist person.

Lemon though has something in common with Cummings, Ocasio Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley and Omar, all of whom have recently been attacked by Trump. He's brown. Sure, it's nothing to do with race.

Wait what Trump has never criticised anyone white skin?

He has, but generally he tends to use slightly different language for brown people.

and which language are you referring to?

I agree, he is playing the distraction game. Starting feuds with people of colour, just below the line of undeniable racism, just enough below it that republicans can deny it. But if course it is designed to distract from all the other shit swirling around him.

In other news, if arsestinger thinks Trump is going to win the important agricultural States, he can think again. As mentioned his name is shit around these parts. I actually saw a bumper sticker with his name on it for the first in over a year, and it was a septic tank retrieval truck lol.

And yes, the trailer parks are as you describe them. Also, there is a lot of neighborhoods where whole blocks of houses have been abandoned back in the GFC, and they are just rotting away. And another GFC is looming as the financial idiots are up to the same tricks, but this time the USA Government will be starting with a multi trillion deficit - no bail out for the banks this time.
So many of Trumps businesses have gone bankrupt. Even his casino businesses and the only way you can go bankrupt with those is if you steal too much out the back door with them. This is who is running the largest economy in the World and he can do it without even having his tax records vetted. They say the people get the Government they deserve - but I'm not sure they deserve what is coming.

President Trump focused on his own hardships since taking office during his commencement address Wednesday at the United States Coast Guard Academy, saying,
"No politician in history — and I say this with great surety — has been treated worse or more unfairly."

Abraham Lincoln
John F. Kennedy
Robert Kennedy
Nelson Mandela
Lech Wałęsa
Mahatma Gandhi
Indira Gandhi
Martin Luther King Jr
Alexei Navalny
John W. Stevens
Hiram Revels
Boris Nemtsov
Plus thousands of others might disagree

Deathly silence.

Exactly what I thought.
Chicken shit.
