‘The Wire’ creator accidentally proves Trump’s Baltimore tweets are right in epic backfire

David Simon, creator of the HBO crime series “The Wire,” accidentally proved that President Trump’s tweets about West Baltimore being dangerous were correct when he said Trump would “wet himself” if he “actually visited West Baltimore for five minutes.”

Like other liberals suffering from pathological Trump Derangement Syndrome, Simon accidentally dunked on himself yesterday while trying to dunk on Trump.

The black caucus is the most racist of any other organization there is and to which Elijah Cummings belongs. Yet even though Trump never mentioned race he is called a racist solely because he criticized an African American.

Caught just a few episodes of the show and didn't like it all that much, but I have to admit that the writing for this show was superb. This may have been the definitive clip among the few episodes I saw:

"What do you say to any question? ... I take the Fifth Commandment."

LMAO.

This advice not only applies to the Four Horseladies of the Apocalypse, but to a lot of other urban Democrat representatives from failing cities and localities everywhere (slightly paraphrased):

“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congress(woe)men, who originally came from [places] whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run.

“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”

The advice continues to be entirely appropriate.

***Language warning***

This young African-American gentleman nails it. Really nails it here.

“He cares more about the people at the border than the people in his own district. “

They are race hustling poverty pimps, the term Rush came up with.
They profit from destroyed lives and they don’t want things to get better.
They want people dependent so they can pocket money from offering “solutions”.
They are the worst types of people.

I remember my first trip to D.C. twenty years ago for a week long training session.

After dinner, I left alone in search of a lottery ticket.

Wandered down a long street where I could see a 7-11 type store still open.

I couldn't figure out why everyone was staring at me like I was from Mars.

Then I realized, white guy, white shirt and tie....and the only white guy in the store.

They were clearly wondering what the heck I was doing in there....

Leftists are so damaged by TDS they always fall for President Trump’s traps.

Can you imagine what could be done FOR America if leftists weren’t working against it all the time and obsessed with this President?

When I worked for a logistics company, drivers traveling through certain parts of Detroit maintained constant voice contact as they drove through unsafe areas.

How many of these Danger Zones within US Cities exist? I would really like to know.

My criticism of the Wire is the language. However, the language lends to the authenticity.

I watched the Wire years after it was produced, all five years of the series, and realized that it was an exceptional criticism not only of Baltimore but of cities caught in the corruption of black politics. The emphesis is on black. It is not racist, but cold hard reality.

One year concentrates on education and the attitudes of teachers and students and parents and lack of parents. One year concentrates on the Port of Baltimore and the effect of declining business and union corruption. One year concentrates on the news paper and prescietly, fake news, really fake news.

Throught out all episodes is woven the corruption of local and state politicians and police. Present always is the disease of drugs that effecte everything from kids growing up alone to addult sisters who live normal lives but are plagued with druggie brothers. The scope of drug penetration into all aspects of life is just breath taking.

When there was the real rioting in Baltimore and the black mayor and the black DA just stupidly tried to sweep it all under the rug, it was more real than the prescient Wire.

In my mind The Wire is one of the best TV series that was ever produced. The Wire is right on the money exhibiting America at it’s very worst. It should be watched and studied by good politicians to know what they are up against.

Heck, lotsa decent black people are scared to death to go there.

I bet the new Baltimore Police Deputy Commissioner and his wife who were Robbed at Gunpoint on the 19th would tend to agree with that statement.

DC has changed a lot in the past twenty years. 14th Street used to be a “no go” zone. When I visited several years ago, I was amazed at the transformation. Massive gentrification everywhere except SE.

The NAACP is also racist and corrupt. Cummings belongs to them too. Just take a look at the leadership of the NAACP of the past forty years and see how many of them have had legal problems along with morality issues.
