History will not be kind to them. They show us and the world how weak ,and spineless they are, and how they don’t deserve the title of Senator. they will be voted out☝👆They have shown where their loyalty lies.
@Kip McEwen IS KUSHNERS FATHER IN PRISON
JUST ASKING
dan mac you need to be filled with bullets. Let the rats eat the carcass
Let’s all be honest the republicans are like the 3 Monkeys didn’t see anything won’t speak about it and won’t hear the truth.
@rhonda thompson Ha ha ha. lol.
dimdaman Pretty sure it’s the Democrats who are refusing to enforce our nation’s laws, not Republicans. Ever hear of sanctuary cities ? Illegal aliens ?
Closeoutracer Amen !
During the campaign, Trump announced that if he’s elected President, he would virtually eliminate what he referred to as the “FDA Food Police” that are charged with protecting the food we all consume in this country. And when you consider that Trump restaurants have been repeatedly caught serving dirty, roach-infested, and even deadly food over the years, that’s not the least bit surprising.
In 1990, Thomas Purgatorio dined at Buffet by the Sea in Trump’s Castle Hotel and Casino. Four months later, Purgatorio was dead of organ failure brought about by eating “salmonella-tainted mousse.”
Purgatorio’s widow later filed an $11 million lawsuit against Trump’s Castle, and the suit was settled for a fraction of the original amount. Attorneys for Trump argued that Mr. Purgatorio’s death was the result of a pre-existing heart condition. And Trump attorney Alan Kaplan said that eggs in the mousse caused the salmonella. Yet such matters are exactly the kind of thing the FDA seeks to prevent.
For decades, restaurants owned by Trump have been repeatedly cited for violations which include serving month-old caviar, expired veal stock and yogurt, and eggs, cream and sausages that had been stored at unsafe temperatures.
In 1992, Trump properties in Atlantic City had “the worst track record for food-related health problems among Atlantic City’s 12 casinos.” That included five salmonella outbreaks which dated back as far as 1984. At the time, a city health inspector noted:
“We find it highly unusual that most of our problems in Atlantic City have been associated with the Trump properties. The physical part of the [establishments] is top-of-the-line but it all boils down to extremely poor food handling.”
Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida was cited 78 times over three years for health code violations including cooking staff not washing their hands and the “accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” on an ice machine.
Is this the same where Rats & other rodents are running rampant in numerous restaurants & a large number of other establishments in so many Baltimore districts ??? Or the disparaging, dilapidated living conditions where so many abandoned buildings are totally Infested ?
PS Not to mention all the forgotten homeless who literally live on the streets, defecating, urinating & spreading diseases, as well as the crime epidemic there ??? Which is it genius ???
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing” – Edmond Burke
As long as the Republican party stays silent to Trump’s immorality, they are complicit.
@dan mac antifa are facist.
Id like Trump to tell them this face to face. Let’s see if he still talks the same. And yes, he is a racist, no doubt.
Its immoral not to put this dennisw64 to death
Remember when Cummings came to the defense of Mark Meadows?
Shockingly, no such reciprocation from Meadows in return.
I guess that friendship only goes one way.
Typical republican – too afraid to do the right thing. 👎
truth!!
He had no choice, but to do this, since he was the chairman. Tlaib was not only out of place but totally & factually wrong. But so many democrats just like to accuse without any Fact basis. It was Meadows who prompted Cummings to do what he did. You just spewed FAKE NEWS.
That friendship is done on Elijah Cummings part for sure seriously who needs friends like that! People always show there true colours believe that.
Ro G you belong in a third world country. Get out of this country you demon. Evil turd
.. you’re like a little floater in Cummings toilet
So Moscow Mitch holds a special meeting, to complain. Not about Trumps comments about Cummings, but about being called a Russian Asset!
Exactly. Sissy McConnell takes time to whine about his nickname – instead of explaining about him blocking every single bill for America’s safety.
Yeah we have to keep the spot light on him and his wife
Doesn’t Jared Kushner own most of the rat infested buildings in Baltimore?
hrtsfyre
please refrain from posting BS.
Marlowe Dugger Division ?? It’s the Democrats who call ICE agents and police Nazis and KKK and claim that we are running concentration camps. That republicans want to starve old people and children. That they want dirty air and water ! Joe Biden said republicans want to put black people in chains. The Democrats have MASTERED DIVISION !
David Big you sure ? Cause i think i am talking to one right now . Go f….. your self and stop bothering me
Nice try, No they do not… More DemoKKKrat lies…
Mulvaney, now there is a true rat!
When Kennedy is answering, you can tell he knows what he’s about to say is ridiculous. So he tries to make it sound impactful. It obviously falls flat, which must be why he immediately looks straight ahead and avoids eye contact.
What a pathetic display. Unbelievable.
Goodcat007 That’s right he becomes church like in his demeanor but just watch his “Christian” demeanor when he’s questioning during committee hearings.
@Jeff Zabelski Yeah. For a self-proclaimed “straight shooter”, he sure misses a lot.
Historically, Trump’s Government will go done as the most screwed-up period in the History of the United States.
Best economy in a generation
Congress member Kennedy reminds me of Lindsey. Yes I went there.
2020 vote Blue or Green, don’t vote for the GOP who aren’t Red…but really showing they are Yellow as cowards!
Where is republican congressman Mike Meadows, a self avowed ‘friend’ of Mr Cummings. The same Mr Cummings who has defended Mr Meadows from accusations of using racist acts. Not a word to defend his ‘friend’. Mike Meadows is a morally bankrupt coward.
Because it isn’t racist, just because the fake media calls it-haven’t you learned by now media controls what you here and how you hear it.
No such thing as good white people. Where have you been?
Republicans motto
You pat my back, I’ll stab yours.
@David Big Right, like trump wants to do (and probably has) to Ivanka
@David Big *Y-E-A-H CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE ..AND I’M TRYING TO INFEST ALL OF YOU RABID ZOMBIE DEM IDIOTS TO GO SHEER CRAZY ENOUGH W. STUPID DECISIONS, ACTIONS, & CHEAP YAP … TO GUARANTEE TRUMP’S RE-ELECTION! BOO! THE BEST OF THE BLACK PLAGUE TO YOU!! HOPE YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE RE-ELECTION CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE*
@David Big everyday when you comment or open your mouth, you confirm Hillary’s description of a typical trump supporter. Thank you for making her case.
50 years of DemoKKKrat control of Baltimore. It should be perfect, what happened??
John Kennedy is disgusting in his siding of Trump. Mr. Cummings is such a decent, hardworking man, Trump is the complete opposite.
Cummings is a crook. He runs a scam using his non profit company. His wife is also involved.
Trump changes the subject from his failure at the border.
Donald Trump should be very scared because Eli’s Coming.
They wouldn’t be republicans if they weren’t silent
trump doesnt care about MD, nor anything about it, b/c that state cant help him win.
Criminal trump and Moscow Mitch are Russia assets.Anyone that stops our election for protection by foreign hostel killers are Russia assets and it will come back to hunt u.
