I am proud to be from Maryland. i am proud to be from Baltimore. I can trace my Baltimore roots back to before the Civil War. Around my neighborhood, we're still considered kind of new. I don't live in Elijah Cummings district (ht, Dutch Ruppersberger) but I did attend college in his district and saw the Congressman at several community functions.
He is a beacon of leadership, pragmatism and hope.
Oh, and as far as MF45? It should go without saying, but FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK HIM

(5,131 posts)times. Trump's putrid word salad this morning shows what a spineless gutless piece of shit he is. I actually want him to keep it up. His attempt to scare people of color will not work. We will be turning out in record numbers in 2020. In the words of Bob Marley - we will be Getting up and Standing up for our rights and voting this piece of shit out of the White House and sending him back to where he came from. Where a black female atty general will be waiting for his return.

(10,940 posts)I live far from there, but I am still proud of Baltimore. Visited there several times on business, and was always very impressed.
DFT has no idea what he is talking about- is that a surprise? Elijah Cummings has always brought a smile to my face whenever I see him. His demeanor, his voice, everything about him makes me smile and accept him as a True Patriot Leader of our country. May he live long and prosper in this great land.

(8,331 posts)It's a wonderful city. The people are great, there is tremendous civic pride, and the Inner Harbor is fabulous. Ft. McHenry is there. Annapolis is nearby. Its a history-rich AMERICAN city. There is no infestation of anything. Its clean, welcoming, and has regional charm.
Dolt45 is a National Disgrace.
