Interesting that of all the people who criticize him or his policies, he is most likely to strike back at people of color. Women, like Pelosi, are a close second.
He has decided that this is a winning stance for him. No more asking if people think it’s racist. Instead, ask them if they agree with him, or if they think he’s correct in his assertions. If they are asked to take a stand, they can’t hide behind the faux outrage about the “race card.” No…simply ask if they agree.

Yes, racism trumps economic anxiety for Trump supporters.

Who knew. :unamused:

Baltimore Sun editorial ends: better to have vermin than to be one. Well said, better than dehumanizing invective translated from the original German.

Nothing more to add. This is how it’s done.

I’d like to speak to the actual author of this tweet and ask why he/she was stupid to enough to put the phrase “…the facts speak louder than words” into the mouth of the most lying-ass public official in the recorded history of the United States. Sometimes you just wonder…

I understand Mar-a-Lago is also a rodent infested shithole with 78 health code violations.

This feels like a turning point. In fact, the whole week does.

Trump Attacks Cummings By Bashing Baltimore In New Round Of Racist Tweets

I understand that on this site you might be preaching to the choir, but I think you have a word misplaced in your headline.

Racist Trump Attacks Cummings By Bashing Baltimore In New Round Of Tweets

IMO labeling tRump a racist must be done as often as possilbe

It seems like we’re mere weeks past semi-serious people semi-seriously asking “is Donald Trump actually a racist, or is he just playing off of racist tropes and using racist tactics?” As if it was legitimately unknown.

One of those people might even have been me!

IMO the reasons for these violations are obvious… there is a deep state plant some where on the kitchen staff attempting to embarrass tRump

Great editorial from the Baltimore Sun today:

Better to have a few rats than to be one!

The gilded Trump Tower (721 Fifth Avenue New York City, NY 10022) is located in NYC.
NYC is ranked #3 as the rattiest cities in the US per Orkin ranking in 2018 vs Baltimore #9!

Congratulation Racist-Russian-Rat-Puppet!
So much winning…for living in a ‘disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess’ literally and figuratively!

https://www.orkin.com/press-room/rattiest-cities-2018

Furthermore, the top most dangerous cities in the US are also the Trump voting cities:

  1. St. Louis, Missouri - 1,817.1 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People
  2. Detroit, Michigan - 1,759.6 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People
  3. Memphis, Tennessee - 1,740.1 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People
  4. Milwaukee, Wisconsin - 1,596.1 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People
    And Baltimore comes 5th with 1,535.9 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

Just as an aside:
The REDDEST states - Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, New Mexico, Maine - have exceptionally high poverty rates and thus receive large shares of federal dollars.

The IRONY:
The Red States resent the Blue States
Despite the Blue States subsidizing the Red States
So who are the REAL SOCIALISTS now?

THE SWAMPIEST RAT/POT should not call the kettle black!

Meanwhile, the real rats are the Trumpkins and Trump is their pied piper.

Self-reply to “is he racist or just acting racist?”, as always, I should have heeded Popehat’s Rule of Goats.

At some point, it doesn’t really matter at all.
