Yeah, I know. I'm just devastated.
If he lived to be 68, then he obviously never sent much time in his own third world congressional craphole.

Edit because I forgot to say something good about the dead. GOOD he's dead!
John Conyers? In office over fifty years. Resigned after allegations of sexual harassment by staffers. His wife was imprisoned for taking bribes while on Detroit City Council, did three years for a take of about 11k.
His son got John in hot water by using his taxpayer funded leased Escalade for his music career, it got stripped while parked in Detroit. Big no-no, allowing it to be used for no official business.That got forgotten quickly.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

parabellumLoudmouthed, ignorant fucking asshole. He was a genuine blight on America and I am not going to act for one single second like I am not happy to hear this. America-hating piece of shit.
I am overjoyed that never again am I going to have to listen to him run his IGNORANT mouth.

BigCityI have no love for any corrupt politician. Big story here about how his wife enriched herself illegally. Having said that, she will probably get his seat since this is a purely Democrat controlled state, and those stories will disappear.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

parabellumWhat was the last thing that went through his mind? Well, you can be sure it wasn't a
clue, because that stupid son of a bitch never had the first one in his life.
Looking on FoxNews' website, I just love all the
lying, phony horse shit about this jerk- oh, yes, "tributes to a colleague who served". Just cut the shit. And I notice that the article about this
great American does not allow commentary, and you know why. People would be taking a flamethrower to this fraud who did nothing but enrich himself.

FOX news just said that he had been confined to a wheel chair for almost a year. He was very careful not to allow himself to be photographed in the wheel chair, and most of the press cooperated in the deception.
