What I love about these quotes is the removal of phrases like "I think" or "I believe" that indicates your opinion. But when you say "All Cummings has done is tear down anything good about this country," that sounds like a statement of fact, which would indicate you have proof that he's torn something good about the country down. These "people" won't bring in facts, they'll tell you to look for them yourself, it's easy! The Qremlin gives them talking points, no substance.

If we as a country re-elect this bunch currently in the White House we as a country deserve whatever happens after that.

Outside of the economics, the culture there is cancer. Beautiful land and mountains and hills but also cons. Not everybody in Baltimore lives in crime ridden areas and some live very nice lifestyles. Regardless, why it’s a competition is beyond me. Communities need help. That should be the only concern Because people like Little Earl have no solutions to problems.

Did not see garbage lying all over the place either. This is another problem with the Trump lot. They believe he’s a super hero defending the world from the immigrants and the Illuminati. This world view leads to them thinking a huge city that has a crime problem can be laid at the feet of a single individual. Guys, it doesn’t work like that. All big cities have more crime than small cities. A lot of those big cities have been packed with poor people, who surprise are more likely to commit crime. Rich people don’t often live in the middle of big cities. They live in mansions on the outskirts. I’m not sure why I should have to explain this. Elijah Cummings didn’t make Baltimore into a high crime area. Do you all actually not understand this? MadMax, and Titansgoodluck 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elijah Cummings didn’t make Baltimore into a high crime area. Do you all actually not understand this? Also there's a systemic history with many of these cities that's convenient for many to forget about and potentially even engage in victim blaming In the United States and Canada, redlining is the systematic denial of various services to residents of specific, often racially associated, neighborhoods or communities, either directly or through the selective raising of prices.[2][3] While the best known examples of redlining have involved denial of financial services such as banking or insurance,[4] other services such as health care (see also Race and health) or even supermarkets[5]have been denied to residents. In the case of retail businesses like supermarkets, purposely locating stores impractically far away from targeted residents results in a redlining effect.[6] Reverse redlining occurs when a lender or insurer targets particular neighborhoods that are predominantly nonwhite, not to deny residents loans or insurance, but rather to charge them more than in a non-redlined neighborhood where there is more competition.[7][8] In the 1960s, sociologist John McKnight coined the term "redlining" to describe the discriminatory practice of fencing off areas where banks would avoid investments based on community demographics.[9] During the heyday of redlining, the areas most frequently discriminated against were black inner city neighborhoods. For example, in Atlanta in the 1980s, a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles by investigative reporter Bill Dedman showed that banks would often lend to lower-income whites but not to middle-income or upper-income blacks.[10] The use of blacklists is a related mechanism also used by redliners to keep track of groups, areas, and people that the discriminating party feels should be denied business or aid or other transactions. In the academic literature, redlining falls under the broader category of credit rationing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining Edited October 17, 2019 by begooode IsntLifeFunny, and Titansgoodluck 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ask which one was better or worse, I was asking if the people who represent them in Congress should be held responsible for the condition they are in. But none of that really matters anyway because I believe you are confused about what a U.S. Congressman does. Elijah Cummings is no more responsible for the rats in Baltimore, than Jim Cooper is responsible for the explosive growth in Nashville. All of these places have Mayors, City Council, state legislators and Governors that could do more to change their condition in a week, then their U.S. House member could do in 10 years. Outside of trying to award government contracts to businesses in their district and the occasional bridge or repaving, what is it that you and the President believe that a U.S. House member is suppose to do to spur huge economic change in a city?

I thought politician were elected to make things better. Cummings did not make things better for a large part of his constituency. He had power to significantly influence Mayors, City Council, state legislators and Governors, but obviously didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really? What kind of influence did he have? Draw the line. Did Rep. Cummings hire the School Superintendents, the Police Chiefs, the Fire Chiefs over the last 23 years? Did he confirm the D.A. or write the building codes? Did he open and close hospitals? Did he set the budget for any of those departments? Is there any House members anywhere who does those things?
