Absolute golden opportunity not only for his first term, but for Republicans with blacks in general.

Insane how Obama administration dropped the ball on that issue.

Gives him a prime opportunity to show how ineffective govt has been and how the Dems have just given lip service.

I think he will do a lot of things like this to help out the common folk. It just sucks his hands are more or less tied until January.

You actually want the president to handle local issues? It's not the president's job to handle every little issue in the country. That's why you have local and state govt.

I made a thread a few days ago about what republicans can do to keep getting some of the black vote.

I 100% believe that the republican platform represents FAR FAR more than 8% of black people rather than the party of transgender weirdos.

It's not even about flipping the ratio it's about getting the message and making it competitive. I'm really proud that trump made a point to campaign and work for their vote.

I told Mrs. Pimp this earlier in the week. It's a no-brainer. He should fix it, and fix it under budget and point out every flaw in the normal government process. He should be audacious and have some variation on a "50 projects in 50 states" kind of initiative, and get local people involved as much as possible.

Then he should force the Mexicans to pay for it.

I agree but you know damn well the Dems will spin it as pandering to the blacks.

not a bad idea

no excuse for 3rd world conditions anywhere in the US

Fixing targeted problems here and there wouldn't be all that costly.

Of course if he did one a zillion more would pop up.

Flint could be fixed for a relatively small amount of money

But would gain huge political capital

You want the President of the U.S. fixing a metropolitan water supply?

We want smaller fed govt not taking care of parking meters

Federal gov't should help but that is a state and local issue and should remain that way. Let's remain firm in our limited fed'l govt convictions.

The problem was, in large part, created by the republican leadership in Michigan, and the Republican Congress has blocked the aid bills. If those bastards will agree to help fix the problem now, good. It's overdue.

Another thing they should do:

Open a congressional investigation into police abuses in Chicago and NYC. Right thing to do anyway, but it also embarrasses the left by spotlighting racism in the bluest parts of the country, and sends a message to minorities that their concerns matter.

Chicago PD had secret prisons where suspects were tortured until they confessed. NYPD had a widespread practice of planting weed on black people to meet arrest quotas. Call them out for it.
