The 7th Congressional District of Maryland. Includes:




Fort McHenry, whose brave defense inspired The Star-Spangled Banner.



Baltimore's Inner Harbor (that's the USF Constellation):



Ellicott City:




Unfortunately, also includes several thousand apartments owned by Jared Kushner, that in 2017 were cited over 200 times for code violations, including infestation by rats and rodents.

From an editorial in the Baltimore Sun:

"Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner — or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressman’s name correctly (it’s Cummings, not Cumming) — we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one."

But for Trump to know any of this, he'd have to look outside of his own little bubble, which we know he would never do.

Funfact: Baltimore is a shit-hole and has been for some time. It has routinely made the list of the World's 50 most dangerous cities. It comes in at #21. But wait, there's more. St Louis comes in at #13 with New Orleans and Detroit coming in at #41 and #42 respectively. There are cities in the friggin' Honduras that are safer than Baltimore.

Curious then...

What's the stats on cities/places Republicans represent? How much better, or worse, are they?

Fun fact: I go there regularly, and it's pretty nice.

Another fun fact: the President of the United States doesn't care about Baltimore's problems, and doesn't have a plan or an intention to do anything about them.

And yet another one! Baltimore is actually in three congressional districts. But you didn't know that, because Fox News didn't tell you.

Texas hunters who accidentally shot each other blamed undocumented immigrants, police reveal

Investigators think paranoia about 'illegals' led the group to mistakenly open fire on each other


A hunting guide and his client accidentally shot each other and then blamed it on undocumented migrants, police in the US have said.
Officers attended the scene at a remote south Texas ranch, near to the Mexico border, in early January, finding the two men bleeding from gunshot wounds. A second guide was involved in the incident, but escaped without injury.

The casualties, guide Walker Daughtery, 26, and client Edwin Roberts, 59, and the other guide, Michael Bryant, told police they suspected the shooters were undocumented immigrants they had seen on the ranch earlier in their trip.






Their story was shared thousands of times online after Texas Commissioner of Agriculture and Donald Trump ally Sid Miller wrote about it on Facebook.

But police and a grand jury have now concluded the men were lying about the incident, and actually shot each other.
Investigators believe that Mr Daughtery became paranoid that illegal immigrants were inside a vehicle with Mr Roberts and his wife and attempted to get inside without saying anything, prompting Mr Roberts to shoot at the door.

Mr Daughtery then ran back to his cabin to grab his gun and to get backup from Mr Bryant, and together they opened fire on the truck.

That actually didn't answer my question. And I was asking other people to see if there were any suggestions that might counter the point of the OP, not because I couldn't Google it myself.
I don't have any other suggestions at the moment.

You Are What You See: ‘Lowbrow’ TV Lowers IQ, Increases Disinformation Susceptibility


A collection of TV-related research compiled by a Harvard foundation suggests that individuals’ exposure to “junky” entertainment television not only decreases their intelligence, but also leaves them vulnerable to rhetoric utilized by particular political parties.

On July 26, the Nieman Journalism Lab published a compilation of studies shedding light on the relationship between the viewing of so-called “lowbrow” entertainment television and the backing of certain candidates, particularly in the elderly and young children.
“The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV,” by Ruben Durante, Paolo Pinotti and Andrea Tesei, examined former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s mass media company Mediaset, which was founded in 1987.
“For individuals first exposed to Mediaset as children, we find that entertainment TV has a negative impact on cognitive abilities in adulthood, as measured by standardized numeracy and literacy tests,” the researchers reported, also noting the individuals showed “significantly lower levels of civic engagement.”
The researchers use the example of the proliferation of Berlusconi’s network viewership and subsequent election victories to suggest “non-informative, entertainment TV can have a tangible impact on political preferences.”
However, the authors contend that it was not so much the values of Berlusconi’s center-right Forza Italia party that swayed voters, but instead the voters’ desire to hear the same simple, to-the-point language used by the network.
“The language codes that were popularized by TV also made people much more susceptible to the populist party because they used very simple language,” Durante told the American Economic Association (AEA). “They used accessible language. And that can potentially be very powerful.”

Funfact: I don't watch FoxNews, dumbass. Did you see me post a FoxNews link? No? Huh, so you're just making the usual TDS idiot assumptions. Here's another funfact. The list doesn't care how many f*cking congressional districts there are. A city is a city and Baltimore ranks 21 out of 50 when it comes to the World's most dangerous cities. Don't like it? Take it up with the the list makers or better yet, the people who run Baltimore since you go there regularly.
And one more funfact. Neither Trump nor FoxNews had anything to do with the list and yet here you are, ranting about FoxNews like an idiot.
