I guess she tried...the 20% she is referencing...is 1 person. 5 total ppl are scheduled to be executed. Also the native American killed two other natives.
True. Trump has zero tact though. None. He just tweets from a place of rage and insecurity, almost every day. Using the word “infested” repeatedly when talking about cities and countries with large minority populations? Come on.
I’m no Bernie bro, but if Trump had tweeted that, verbatim, instead of the hateful spewfest from earlier today....the blowback would be much less severe.
It wouldn’t matter, the point is now eyes are on Baltimore.
Elijah Cummings is constantly praised as a champion for AA communities. Yet his district that he’s represented for decades is a shithole.
Food stamps help a lot of people, people that need help. However, people do take advantage of them, use them for trade or money. A lady my wife worked with offered us to give her 50 cents on the dollar for hers a few years back.
It needs to be tightened up.
CNN discovers that dems Gerry mander
We need to change some things. I don't have a plan.
We need a safety net I suppose. Generational welfare is not that.
With that said, I haven't noticed people working lately that probably wouldn't have been working in the past. And what I've noticed is these people really lack the skills to hold a job. Rudeness to customers, horrible manners, unclean. I know there are no perfect answers.
Mike Judge was right about having people with IQs of 80 having 5 children while people with IQs of 130 have 0.2 children does not bode well for the future.
As you can see I'm very confused. We want people to work yet when when they work, most really lack the skills to work. Somehow we must stop incentivizing breeding among citizens with lower intelligence.
I used to live in a district in Illinois that had lots of Republican areas but was guaranteed to be represented by Democrat because it was in with East St. Louis. Democrats crying about gerrymandering is one of the funniest things in history.
Baltimore is shit city and Cummings is awful but of course the lefty brigade of pols and mouthpieces will take a break from insulting anyone non-liberal in the harshest of terms....to be outraged and virtuous. It is something to watch.

IMO the only eyes on Baltimore are from conservatives who pretend to care. “Poor areas exist in larger cities” isn’t news to anyone who has a brain. But hey...with our BOOMING ECONOMY they’re definitely headed for prosperity!
When poor white cities and rich white people get strung out on opioids, it’s a national crisis. When black people coming from generational poverty have decreased lifespans due to drug abuse, violence, and poor nutrition/housing...find the nearest district rep and blame it all on them.
“But what about Chicago?”
“But what about St. Louis?”
“But what about Baltimore?”
Most conservatives ask these questions with hollow intentions, and only when it’s convenient.
Also...please don’t tell me any of y’all are Eminem fans. Dude makes horrible music.
Oh and after hearing “Ain’t No Sunshine” at a pizza place today, I’m officially getting rid of all my Bill Withers records. Dude is not my style at all. Why am I just now figuring this out? Terrible tone to his voice. Some decent tracks, but not enough to keep 4 of his LPs in my collection.
Purging always feels better than purchasing. It’s strange, my bros.

Lol now trump has forced idiots to defend rodent infested shitholes.
If trump is so dumb, you’d think his opposition would have figured out how to beat him at fn twitter.

Ahem, as our duly elected leader, President Trump is performing at expectations: Promote USA-made products. Fine example of a businessman.
French wine vs US wine. Um, yeah, the French have been at this game much longer (6th century BC) vs USA (~300 years), and also enjoy higher production. 84% of US wineries are located in California, primarily Napa Valley.
Is the Frog swill better? Well, it sells for more per liter on average than comparable American products. Personally speaking, I prefer German white wine before dinner and American or Spanish or Italian after.
So what the hell happened to your vaunted DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT regarding wines? You know Australia, Chile and Eastern Europe also produce great wines at more affordable price-points, right?
I'll hang up and listen.

Speaking of rodent infested shitholes, how is old 420 bro?
If you have the time watch this.
If not go to halfway through and watch.
What are you talking about???? This is a perfectly logical, coherent congressional district.....
I see my old town of Catonsville is still capably represented by Mr. Cummings.
Probably one of my fav @420 Bro posts yet. Republicans he claims dont care about anyone, so he puts an entire blanket over everyone...yet he thinks dems are full of caring as opposed to just wanting to be in control as observed by every historically ran dem city. Throwing govt on everything doesn't work, opposing that isnt bc you're mean..its bc you know it's full of unintended consequences.
Have fun when you go to Baltimore and only visit the white areas.

Did you really think I was bullshitting? I can talk wine all day, bro.
I enjoy dry, acidic, mineral-driven German Riesling multiple times per week. Went to the Rheingau region quite recently. Still have a bottle of 2000 JB Becker trocken Riesling in the wine fridge. Aged Riesling has that weird “pool toy” nose mixed with toffee that I can’t resist.
The Loire valley is packed with tremendous white wines. Bordeaux of course has its classics but you can’t assume everything from Bordeaux is top-quality. My wife likes French wines way more than I do, but I have obvious respect for their contributions. Loire valley Chenin Blanc is my favorite right now - weird wooly nose with minerality and complexity. Could drink it all day.
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favorites. Grassy and acidic. Instantly recognizable.
Just brought back 12 bottles of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and sparkling wines back from the Okanagan wine region in Canada. That was two months ago.
Napa was beautiful. Still sitting on a couple 2008 vintages of Cab and Pinot, as well as a few red blends that were delicious. Drank all the rest, including a crazy good bottle of Chardonnay from Failla and every bottle of Mathiasson we brought back.
Spanish wines are cool for the price point. Actually they’re quite underrated. My wife is headed to Barcelona in a couple months to do some more research, then off to Austria to do even more wine exploration.
Crisp, dry Rose from anywhere is always nice, especially during these brutal Nashville summers. Orange wine is something we’ve tried a few times, but most of them seem flawed and tough to pull off. The journey still continues.
I have trips to Portugal and New York lined up for the near future, but those can always change. Wine, records, and leisure are at the forefront of all my vacations. In that aspect, the only DIVERSITY is the location, my bro.
Let’s bore the hell out of this thread and talk about wine and music. I’m here for all of that.
I’m about to light up as soon as I post this message. A question though...
Which “conservative-run” places in America should I visit? I know people like you are afraid of big cities, but I’m down to travel anywhere for an amazing slice of Americana.
Hollow intentions? That’s you’re problem, you think people don’t give a shit about poor black people, you can take that BS elsewhere. That’s exactly one of the reasons those areas stay in the status.
Opioid is killing 70000 people a year, it doesn’t give a shit what color you are, it’s also one of the reasons murder rates amongst young black men has spiked in inner cities.
You can’t make people become prosperous, the govt can’t do it, they must decide that on there own. I brought up Cummings because he’s a fraud, his district, specifically the AA portion of it is destitute. Yet he acts as a champion of race, skips inaugurations of Republicans. He needs division in race relations to survive.
I know Trump has to constantly tweet like a 9 year old to keep his base happy, but Jesus Christ, pick a few things and focus on them. Half of his tweets end with “investigate this, investigate that.” He’s like the boy who cried wolf. How about if you feel something is worth an investigation, put some passion into it and actually work on it?
Trump is just like the Joker in the Dark Knight. He’s a dog chasing cars - he wouldn’t know what to do if he caught one.

Eyes are on Baltimore for how long? Until Trump’s next random rage tweet session, so my best guess is maybe 18-24 hours, then his Twitter fan boys will move on to whatever he whines about next.
Translation: How dare Trump even consider promoting American-made products. WTF was he thinking?

The last time you tip-toed into these waters, you went too far. Got too cocky. Tried to play the hip-hop card and got owned. Wanna try that again, bro? Tell me more about your love for DJ Premier...oh and how I don’t know half of what Kanye has produced...OH and your love for Eminem.
You guys wanna play these reindeer games and I’m totally here for it. Thrill me.
Yes, his 2020 presidential campaign is apparently balls-deep in the “division in race relations” department.
Oh, he knows.
You don’t know, which is not surprising. Doesn’t make you a terrible person or anything, so don’t get your feelings hurt. I just don’t expect you to know about any of that.
