Trump calling Baltimore a rat-infested shithole is triggering liberals (again), and naturally, he’s being accused of being a racist for saying it, even by David Simon, the creator of The Wire, who having produced an amazing tv series about how crime-ridden, degraded & politically corrupt that city is, should know better. The smears and allegations of “racism” lose their power every day now, it’s fast becoming pure meaningless hysteria at this point, as below.

@Salacious-Crumb Just looked at Simon's twitter. What an absolute loon, he seems to be trying to respond individually to everyone pointing out his hypocrisy. Good luck winning that battle.
All in the game, yo.

He and Mark Bowden worked together in their early days . Bowden would agree with your assessment

Reminds me of that alien from the 3rd Hitchhiker's books who has vowed to insult everyone in the universe. I've met a few people from Baltimore and the usual comment was that there are some nice parts but otherwise a shithole. In this case, the goalposts have been moved even further and criticism of Democratic administrations now apparently equates to criticism of black people.

Loony debates on now!
Will they find the sensible centre...or will it be a rush to the extremes again?
So far the minor candidates in the intro seem sane talking about practical solutions to stop Trumps re-election..while the main candidates seem to be more about 'Orange man bad, very very bad!!!'

Oh god this is too entertaining in a car crash in slow motion kind of way..might have to listen later too distracting at work.
I'm working my way through Thomas Sowell's 'Basic Economics' audio book..I hope for his health he isn't watching this madness.

I think he'll cope. You do realise that Trump (like the Dems) is fundamentally against the economic policies that Sowell advocates?

No doubt, big running theme through his book is Politicians ignoring economic realities for short term personal benefit. If the US economy was struggling then sure these big 'feel good' ideas might hold some water, at lest with Trump the economy is going well so he has at least that in his favour when criticised.

Washington Post has uncovered the smoking gun.
I guess impeachment is now inevitable.
....in unrelated news independent journalist Tim Pool's news organisation 'subverse' which aims to provide unbiased online journalism while adhering to traditional journalist ethics and standards, has done it's first run of investment funding today.
Very close to it's target so if you wanna jump on do it fast.

I am willing t o admit I invested $250 USD, a fool and his money...
But I believe in what he they are doing, and things have to start somewhere. -
@Baron-Silas-Greenback I did $300 with the same justification. Apparently the quickest crowdfunded investment drive in US history (don't know the sample size) so at least the demand is there. Will be interesting to see if they can make something of it. A part of their revenue plan is licensing footage, I could see this being a real go if they get some good on the ground reporters in action.
