    Those who are paying attention to the reality see things a tad different.

    The reality is that Obama's average was cut drastically after the GOP took control of the purse in 2010. Trump wasn't so lucky and say increased spending with the Dems took the House

    Except they prove it to be false, and you know this. Blue states are net contributors. Red states are net takers. Sorry.

    The data is quite clear. Blue states are net positive. Red states are net takers.

    President Trump's burden is heavy, he has to deport uncivilised immigrants so that he may help the uncivilised people already within his borders.

    I wonder at some point if Trump actually will ever say something that is racist. I guess we can stay tuned and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait....................

    It's a fact.
    BERNIE SANDERS’S “RACIST” REMARKS ABOUT WEST BALTIMORE
    [​IMG]
    Leading Democrats and their followers in the mainstream media are attacking President Trump for his comments about conditions in Rep. Elijah Cummings’s congressional district. Trump described the district as “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” that “ranks last in almost every major category.” Democrats are saying — what else? — that these remarks are racist.

    Trump’s attack wasn’t racist.

    The president criticized conditions in Cummings’s district because he wanted to contrast Cummings disgusting remarks about our Nation and how we are handling the crush of illegal immigration at our border, that Cummings lied and slandered us about, with the truly deplorable conditions in Elijah and his crooked wife's district in West Baltimore.

    Trump’s motivation had nothing to do with race. Neither did the remarks themselves, which say nothing racial. His comments about conditions in Cummings’s district are dead on the mark.

    In fact, as Tyler O’Neil points out, Trump’s comments are similar to those of Bernie Sanders. That would be the same Bernie Sanders who, in attacking Trump’s statements about West Baltimore, called Trump a “racist.”

    The Vermont socialist toured West Baltimore — Cummings’s district — in December 2015, to see the area where Freddie Gray was arrested. Based on his observation of the area, Sanders said this:

    Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation. You would think that you were in a Third World country.

    Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.​

    Sanders’s remarks come much closer to racism than Trump’s. The president said nothing, implied or express, about race. He simply described conditions in West Baltimore. Sanders, though, compared West Baltimore to the “third world.”

    The third world consists mainly of non-whites, as does West Baltimore. Was Sanders making a racial connection? Was his comparison to the third world influenced in part by the race of the people he saw on his visit?

    Is left-wing posturing growing stupider by the day? If not stupider, then certainly more vicious and less self-aware.

    Certainly an interesting question, too. As for demographics, should we look at if minorities committed crimes are proportionate to their numbers? Is it even relevant? ;)

    Nah. Much like the Jewish Prisoners at Dachau, I grudgingly accept "the authority".

    Democrats: Talking about our failed city and the "triangle of death" is racist.

    Yeah. Ok.

    Dems are totally flailing playing the Race Card here. Everyone can see they're just trying to deflect criticism away from themselves and the lousy conditions in their districts.

    The real political genius here is that Trump is pointing out how Dems are more worried about migrants and conditions on the border than their constituents and the conditions in their districts. Once again, we find Democrats' priorities in all the wrong places.

    I hope Trump and the GOP beat them to a pulp with this. Dems have left themselves completely vulnerable here which is why they're screaming "racist!" to high heaven. :boo:

    He just tells the truth about these crooks.

    Some wonder if it might be the Democrats, Not Trump, Who Are Flailing In Their Battle To Not Be Racists.

    [​IMG]

    We all know that the coming Democrat presidential debates will be filled to overflowing with accusations of racism toward Donald Trump.

    The candidates will do their bests, directly or by innuendo, to tarnish each other with the same ugly brush in an almost always fallacious manner.

    This is, will be, and has been from the beginning one of the purest examples of projection since Sigmund Freud described this form of psychological hysteria in The Neuro-Psychoses of Defence (1894).

    Maybe the Democrats should be looking inward rather than finger pointing outward.

    Identity politics is segregationism re-purposed and given a slick veneer for the 21st century via intersectionality and similar bogus academic nonsense.

    Trump's commentary on Cummings had NOTHING to do with his being black. It had EVERYTHING to do with Cummings' own over-the-top characterization of our southern border, which was radically unfair and purely politically motivated.

    Nevertheless, it had to be called racism by the real racists — projection again. (This creepy, psychologically-deformed behavior was frequently lampooned by Aristophanes in his plays, long before Freud gave it a name. Molière also had a good time with this hypocrisy in The Miser and The Misanthrope. Only now it's not a laughing matter.)

    And exactly what is the condition of Baltimore today? Like most American cities governed for decades by Democrats — from Detroit to now Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle — the word "miserable" seems appropriate or perhaps "wretched" or "revolting".

    Hmmm I wonder what some black Baltimore residents are saying....

    Instead of getting the opinions of people living in the squalor, we get the opinions of elites who do not. The Democratic party is completely disconnected from the people they represent and actually attack Donald Trump when he tries to stand up for those people. It is a clown world.
