Re: Politics and the Church
Elizabeth Warren Wants to Transfer $640 Billion in Student Loan Debt to Taxpayers
It is against the law to buy votes, so how is this legal? There are 44 million people in the US with student loan debt. Most likely a very high percent of them is eligible to vote.

Re: Politics and the Church
Trump calls Baltimore "a rodent infested mess" where "no human being would want to live".
The Wire creator calls Trump "Racist moron". Now this is the perfect example of the hypocrisy of these TV producers. If you are not familiar with the Wire it portrays the drug war in the 90s. Baltimore is the central character. But in addition to drug gangs and a bureaucratic nightmare of a police department they portray every single politician as a liar and a fraud, likewise the school system is portrayed similarly, with the bureaucracy being the main reason for a failed system that is little more than baby sitting. A local dock union is shown to be in league with drug smugglers and killers. This TV show portrayed the city as a rat infested mess, either literally or figuratively. So this man made his fortune portraying Baltimore as a "rat infested mess" and when someone actually internalizes it he calls them a "racist moron". The show is famous for "telling the truth", and "telling it like it is".

Re: Politics and the Church
The poverty rate is over 22%, and the population is shrinking. The city’s politics are riven with endemic corruption — former Mayor Catherine Pugh resigned in disgrace this May. She's the third Baltimore mayor in a row to leave in the wake of intense scandal. Baltimore is dotted with thousands of vacant buildings, and as for rodents, exterminator Orkin listed Baltimore in the top 10 of its annual survey of “rattiest cities.” The 1970s promotional nickname “Charm City” is as ironic as ever.
Also, to continue with the hypocrisy you can look at Bernie Sanders comments on Baltimore while blasting Trump for making similar remarks. The entire fracas erupted when Cummings was attacking homeland security officials about the conditions at the border. It seems like a very reasonable point that Cummings seems to care less about the people he represents than he does about people who have entered the US illegally. Other hypocrisy is to blame Trump for the problem because he is President the last two years and give Cummings a pass who has been the Baltimore representative for decades.

Re: Politics and the Church
Al Sharpton on the Trump vs Cummings debate
"He’s not mature enough to take criticism" Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy here? Cummings criticized Trumps handling of immigrants, Trump criticizes Cummings handling of Baltimore and then the whole world erupts over Trump's criticism while silent about Cummings criticism. "It is an abomination to me that he would attack Cummings who has the moral courage to question how the immigrants are being treated." Seriously? Cummings has the moral courage to question how immigrants are being treated but it is an abomination if Trump questions how people of Baltimore are being treated?

Re: Hypocrisy on display
If Cummings says it — moral courage.
If Trump says it — an abomination If Bernie Sanders says it — no problem If Trump says it — racist If Cummings criticizes Trump — needed to be said If Trump criticizes Cummings — doesn’t have the maturity to take criticism If HBO produces a 5 season docudrama about corruption in Baltimore — They get nominated for a variety of different awards including two Primetime Emmy Awards, fifteen NAACP Image Awards, two Edgar Awards (one win), three Writers Guild of America Awards (one win), one Directors Guild of America Award, and has also won a Peabody Award. If Trump says the same thing — The creator of the Wire calls him a racist moron.
