Rep. Elijah Cummings

[phrodeau]

I saw this on another site this morning, "As a Marylander I look at that article and wonder if it is speaking about the same Congressman who represented the State. What "accomplishments" in the name of legal citizens? Grossly partisan representation and ill advised actions make his record complete and now gratefully finished."

That explains Trump’s respectful tweet.

But you don't know he didn't post it himself, or that the words aren't his. Because you hate him so much you simply project he lacks the ability to compose a compassionate missive.

it's an informed opinion based on all the tweets and letters (to presidents) and his own-worded speeches...

hate? no. i despise him but don't waste the energy of hatred on anyone. hatred damages and drains oneself more than the person the energy's spent on.

A couple of months ago he gloated about a burglary at Cummings's house.

So what is your point? Did he tweet it or not?

I used the word ‘write’ not ‘tweet.’

 

[Adre]

Yeah, like Trump actually wrote that.

So what is your point? Did he tweet it or not?

See?

R.I.P., Mr. Cummings.

We got this work and we'll finish it, my good sir.

It's a projection. It's a belief based on your well known political prejudice. That's my belief informed by three years of your Lit history.

So, did he write it or not?

 

[zipman]

He could easily bring a tear to my eye when he spoke. It was often about creating a better future.

It’s a hard hit to lose someone so dedicated to voter’s rights.

It's a very big loss.

 

[zipman]

So, did he write it or not?

Considering the adolescent level of his usual tweets, I would say no.

It was respectful and coherent which means someone else probably wrote it.

Neither has Trump been but you'll vote for him again

If Warren is the nominee yes

 

[Mello_SixtyNine]

I wonder if President Trump will attend Rep. Cummings' funeral.

Trump ordered all U.S. flags flown at half-mast in his honor.

What's that saying about, The only good socialist is a...?

Funny that yesterday, pete, referencing Trump, begged God to...

Please kill the mothefucker.

...and Cummings winds up dead.

what IS heartwarming is—as with the death of john mcain—the respect for this man is apparent on both sides of the political aisle, by long-term career politicians. that speaks a lot to a man's character.

Actually I still remember the comments made about John McCain from our left leaning friends.

Remember when they said "he's not a war hero"? Hmmm?

Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

I was contrasting the rights treatment of Cummings on this board vs the lefts treatment of McCain. You folks said the words. Own them.

I wasn't aware you were so in love with Trump that you choose to imitate him.

Nobody does cowardly like, well, like you Rob.

I tried that route. I was vilified. Led by the red headed bitch devil. I now understand the lay of the land. Won't make past mistakes again.
