I did a fun little experiment just now. I went over to Fox News’s website to see their headline then I went to good olde propagandist CNN’s site. Fucking worthless CNN has to mention Trump in every effing headline so they mentioned Cummings was head of some dept investigating Trump in the headline that said Cummings passed.

They are so obsessed with Trump that EVERY story has to be related to him somehow or allude to his nefarious ways. I’m not sure if Fox was this bad when Obama was president and I didn’t notice it or if CNN has just decided to give up on being perceived as being objective at all.

Trump gave him so much stress that he probably popped an aneurysm. Just an example of liberal head exploding. So, Trump was responsible.

I find it amazing that he, or anyone for that matter, could be elected over and over and do nothing for those he represented. Promise the world, deliver nothing, get re-elected. Fool me once or twice, easy, but for 25 years? That's some world class stupid right there.

Edit because I forgot to say something good about the dead. GOOD he's dead!

I wonder who are the next two, since these things seem to happen in threes.

Another GDC will spring up in his place... but GOOD he's dead!

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Fortunately (maybe), he was only a Rep. and in Maryland, that means a special election. (Not that I'm optimistic we'll get anybody other than a GDC to replace him given the lines of his district.)

If he were a Senator, our RINO Anti-Trump Gov. would get to appoint a replacement and no doubt be looking at Mrs. Cummings or someone equally as left under the theory that "it's the right thing to do".

Therefore, I choose to remain hopeful until the special election. (If one is called - might just leave the seat empty until the 2020 election at this point.)

He was a proponent for the bullshit impeachment proceedings against Trump. Good riddance to a leftist piece of filth.

I saw debra waterleak Schultze waxing nostalgic and expressing her sorrow on cnn. It reminded me of election night 2016.

I might need to reread the alcoholism thread, I started desiring a celebratory drink at the sight of liberal tears.

They think this a great man? Of course they do, they get everything wrong.

The question is, how many days will this fight for dominance with Impeach Trump in the mainstream media?
