Sad for his family and constituents.  He was key to the resistance; hopefully the person that steps into his role will be even better.

 

I'm sure the upcoming Trump tweets will be as tasteful as always.

“I’m alive and you’re dead! Trump 1, Cummings 0. Your shithole city probably killed you!” - 30% chance at least

Yeah, I wonder why people's minds would go to Trump when one of his political enemies dies...I mean, it's not like he has a history of attacking the dead or anything.

On a related note, do you think the Trumpkins will replace McCain with Cummings in the pistol whipping video, or just add him?

Yeah I'm nervously waiting to see what he ends up saying.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's something like this.

RIP, Rep. Cummings.

RIP

 

 At 11, he helped integrate a local swimming pool while being attacked with bottles and rocks. “Perry Mason,” the popular TV series about a fictional defense lawyer, inspired him to enter the legal profession.

“Many young men in my neighborhood were going to reform school,” he told the East Texas Review. “Though I didn’t completely know what reform school was, I knew that Perry Mason won a lot of cases. I also thought that these young men probably needed lawyers.”

Good to see
 

No offense but I’ve seen quite a few congressional republicans say nice things about Cummings but I don’t recall them saying anything when Trump attacked him

Isn't there some wellness seminar for brutalized vaginas you should be attending?

RIP.  I don't know much about the man, other than he seemed to dedicate his life to serving the public, which is rare.   Plus he used correct punctuation, even though given his name he didn't have to.  Godspeed Mr. E. Cummings.

Outstanding.

It's gonna be really funny when you get all butthurt over the party we throw when Alex Jones dies.

The difference is no one will be sad when Gorka dies and he knows it. 

Well, maybe those who enjoy oversized head jokes, both literally and figuratively might miss him a little.       Nah...

Hope they autopsy that cranial vault.  I’m positive it’s where Capone hid his treasure.

If by "treasure" you mean 12 gallons of moldy syphilitic jizz, then you may be correct sir.

This.  And it ties into Zavala's lame comment about Trump.  If it weren't for Trump, then I probably would not have known who Cummings was, much less known his courage and statesmanship.  Things PABOTUS lacks.  But with Trump and his little war on Cummings, a lot more people out there realized that there are those even now standing up to this corrupt administration. 

Rest in Peace for a man who believed in serving others ahead of serving himself.
