The Baltimore rat problem President Donald Trump tweeted about Saturday is apparently so extensive that it was the subject of a documentary two years ago.
The president’s tweets took aim at Democratic Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, who has been very critical of the administration’s immigration and migrant detention policies, calling his home district in Baltimore “rodent infested.” ...
The Baltimore Sun’s editorial board published a scathing op-ed later in the day that simultaneously waved off the city’s rat problem while calling Trump a rat. “Better to have a few rats than to be one,” blared the headline.

But according to earlier reports from The Baltimore Sun, that rat problem is actually quite a bit more extensive than the editorial board implied. ...
In April of this year, the same editorial board published another op-ed titled “Baltimore’s perpetual trash problem.” Among other issues, the article detailed some of the problems that stemmed from ubiquitous piles of trash — increased rodent infestations among them.
Yet, here we are again in a mess of a city. Food containers, balled up clothes, paper, banana peels, plastic bags and tons of other pieces of litter line the shoulders of roads, pile up in alleys and are strewn across fields and yards. Not only is it unsightly and contributes to a rodent problem, but it can create a glum and gloomy feel in a time when the city is already facing self-esteem issues because of high crime...
In September 2018, another Baltimore Sun article quoted then-Mayor Catherine Pugh as saying that the problem was so extensive that “you can smell the rats.”

Is this documentary racist?
Is Orkin racist?
Are rats racist?
I bet that illegal immigrants live in better conditions in the detention centers, than residents of his district do.
But Trump is a racist for pointing that out.
This stuff is hilarious.
Is the Sun racist?

Elias Cumming... Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats.
So does the ex mayor.
I bet that Baltimore just might, for a second or two perhaps, make them think about returning home.
The truth is racist.
Everything is racist!
The local politicians would lose their gravy train, so won't happen for sure...
The Baltimore Sun’s editorial board just shot themselves in the foot with their headline “Better to have a few rats than to be one.”
Everyone can see that the Baltimore Sun is talking about itself with the word DemocRATs. Everyone knows that the Baltimore Sun is untruthful using the word "few" rats when they should say "legions" of rats.
Do the members of the Baltimore Sun’s editorial board have any qualifications to serve as journalists? I would not call it a "scathing" op-ed; it is more like a jester's op-ed. The problem with rat infestation is NOT a laughing matter.
Telling the truth is now apparently racist.
And they admit, although they intentionally low balled it, that they do have a rat problem in the city, even though they used the words “a few rats.”
Inner city blacks, I believe, cannot conceive of leaving the ghetto. It is their cocoon, their refuge. I think the vast majority can’t even conceive of it. They have been sacrificed on the altar of a completely corrupt public education system, hooked on the welfare state, and self-serving Swamp Rats like Elijah Cummings.
I will re-post an essay I wrote two years ago on race.
The best response of all of this for the laugh factor was the guy who asked the creator of The Wire if he had ever seen The Wire.
Of course, the creator of The Wire is a real $#((#()(#. His tweets are quite something.
But the Democrat infestation is much, much worse...
