Owlnumbers Internet rule:

When they play the race card, that's your sign that you won the argument.

I'm pretty much desensitized to the terms of racism or racist. They no longer affect me. I don't engage in it and that's all I can control.

Yep.

If these idiots definition of racism is condemning a human rat who represents a crime ridden, rat infested district that is riddled with corruption, well I gladly accept the designation. The English language has been hijacked by these people, might as well go along. I’m a racist and proud of it (new meaning applied of course).....

Let me take a stab - - you've surrendered the power to redefine words to a group of progressives that is doing so in bad faith.

That, in my view, is not a good idea. The fact that the word "racism" is being corrupted by progressives for their own selfish narrative is something to be resisted, not accepted.

I'll add that when the personal insults start against you you have also won the argument.

At the point the word ‘racist’ means nothing is the point it loses whatever power it has in the war-chest of the left. It is approaching that point now. Words have meaning but the more they are misused the more they lose power. Let them have their slanders. Scoff at them and let their insult become impotent. If they want to brand someone racist for opposing the policies of the left because they are pushed by someone “of color” then let them do it. Their words don’t define me or Trump.

Trump's tweet was not racist, but maybe someone should tell him that it is not Cumming's job to run the city of Baltimore.

I think that is honestly the only thing you could fault Trump for in this tweet... but how do you respond to that if you're Cummings?

I 'represent' Baltimore but that problem is not a problem I'm able to deal with from my position

That's a bitchslap to your constituents

Anyone else notice how ABC, CNN and others are editorializing and playing off their opinions as news?

"Trump's racist tweets"..

They're not even prefacing it with "Some say..", they're just saying it as if it's unquestionably so.

It's strange. Their faux-journalism has sunk to a new low.

Everything Trump has said MSM, Bernie, Baltimore Sun etc. has said in the past.
At all of the MSM is "out of the closet" now.

Trump should immediately order an audit on the $1.8bill Baltimore got from the Porkulus bill.

IMO, that's the issue. We've entered a time when merely pointing out the deficiencies of city's operations is now considered racist. We all know this only works one way. It's asinine and for some reason the MSM keeps running with it even though it's only going to hurt their cause in the long run. They'll never learn.

Good!

They don't know what to do with Trump since he FIGHTS BACK! Any other Republican would have slunk away by now and the D's would never change their policies or ways. 50+ years of this. I am wondering what took the black population this long to stop wholly supporting the D's.

Spot on!

And the flipside of that is: Can you imagine a R in blackface remaining as Gov and AG of a swing State? Or someone R credibly accused by two women, each telling the same story and neither knowing the other until perhaps now, remaining as Lt. Gov?

Well, of course not. The drumpf fights back and I'm guessing the days of being "compassionate" conservatives needs to end.

Been the party of rollovers for faaaaaar too long.

Agreed, but Cummings represents that city/district and he should be focusing on making policies to help his area, not his party's agenda. Maybe I'm mistaken.

That would be great but I don’t want them to take anyone off of the investigation of the investigators......

It's a damned good thing a Republican has never once taken any pork back to his district! AMIRITE?
