Speaking of Baltimore and infestation.

Baltimore Did Have a Rodent Problem, Like Donald Trump Said — in Jared Kushner-Owned Apartments: Report

Two years ago, however, a lengthy investigation found that apartment complexes in the city owned by Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, had mice problems and other issues, according to residents.

“It is certainly ironic that the president’s own son-in-law was complicit in contributing to some of the neglect that the president purports to be so concerned about,” Baltimore County Executive John A. Olszewski Jr. told the Washington Post.

A bigger story, but not assignable only to DJT or BO
Jul 30, 2019 9:59AM PDT

as such, so not popular on SE.*

Reuters has a several-part piece on military housing; decrepit, filthy, overpriced, lead-dust-ridden and more. All watched over by legal contracts with American custodial companies.

My point: This failing is with your government, not any red or blue group or individual. Your system.
Where then is your ire? Where is your rancor? Where did you post the addresses of your Representatives and appointed officials who might have power to ameliorate?

Are you aware that these officials and the contractors' executives host and attend Independence Day and Memorial Day celebrations? Are you aware that their speeches rave about the great debt the country owes to soldiers and their families, 'making great sacrifices'?

Now that you're aware of how little value they in fact put on those sacrifices ...

* Anyone notice how seldom She Whose Name May Not Be Spoken has used BO lately? Aren't we proud of our Toni?

Do you remember the

scandal about Walter Reed Hospital back during the GWB terms? Neglect of our military has been long standing, and it didn't just happen on Republicans' watch.

BTW...IF my name ISN'T to be spoken, why did you use it?

As for BO....there's going to plenty to talk about soon.....don't forget who warned you it was coming. Horowitz has already recommended Comey for possible prosecution over his leaked classified memos that he bragged so much about. And Comey's book itself is a wealth filled report in his own words that can be used against him, not to mention his many public interviews. Arrogance can come back to bite you.

And don't get all excited about the fact that DOJ attorneys have 'declined' to prosecute....That's not BARR's decision and those charges could be included in others coming against Comey regarding the FISA warrants documents that HE signed that shows he lied to the courts on multiple occasions.

Why not?...You seem to be excited about "charges could be included in others"?

You can get excited about something that COULD happen and others can't get excited about something that DID happen?

What's up with that?

Nope...I'll get excited when

it finally happens......Dems keep saying over and over again "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" (unless it's a Dem or illegal immigrants, I guess).....it's gonna be nice to see those words actually come true soon.

Just reminding you that I told you it was coming...….

Well, if you're NOT excited

Thanks for your help.

Because I can. Happy
