15. You can find pictures like this in every district

The second picture is a homeless encampment that was located in Charleston. A lot of Progressives came together to fight for their right to live there instead of on the streets.

A bit of bigotry and misinformation in this.

4. Let's check out Moscow Mitch's state

I'm sure we could go through each red state and each republican congressional district and find pockets of grinding poverty and desperation. Poverty is a problem nationwide, but with the exception of DC, the top most impoverished states are almost all red states.

he'd give them two minutes of his precious time.

Oh yeah, he already did that once. Gotta wait another couple years for him to work up enough shits to give them another two minutes of his time.

How this bastard manages to stay in office is a mystery to me. I would even settle for another republican, just ANYBODY but him.

Who cares? Certainly not Mitch!

I really want to see some more feedback from those people who went to visit him. I want outrage! Sadly, I think they are too stuck on "R" to understand how terrible he is.

13. It's really sad. These people need help and he just doesn't care. He knows that they

can't do anything for him so he doesn't give a damn about them. He's such an evil bastard. I compare this situation to how Jon Stewart lobbied for the 9/11 first responders, even though he's not an elected politician, and what an amazing difference between a man who genuinely cares about other human beings and one who could give a damn.

It makes me sick. I can't even say what I wish Mitch's fate to be or I'd be banned for life. I actually think he's almost worse than Trump, which is really saying something.

hands by spending time on this. He tweets something, and we all spend days and days focused on it. Then he tweets something else... rinse and repeat. When will we learn!??

urban and rural, definitely within short walks from many Trump properties. Maybe some gated communities and suburbs might have laws restricting this sort of thing but it's a reality most everywhere.
