    The reason is b/c we are talking about the survival of our nation and our liberty vs. losing our hard fought freedoms to the radical left.

    Cummings and the Democrats are out to destroy our nation, our Constitution, and with it our liberty.

    Those are things worth fighting and dying for.

    The left today in America is no different than the Bolsheviks in Russia 100 years ago, or the Nazis in Germany 85 years ago.

    They need to be stopped.

    Thoughts and prayers, etc....

    Cummings may have been a civil rights icon in days gone by but he did nothing but disgrace himself in Congress. He was pretty much an asshat.

    Been trying to find more. About all I can find is he died from complications from long standing health complications. Had a surgery in September was do back in Congress in October. Looks to me they had been downplaying his health conditions. My guess would be, that he had some pretty good doctors at his disposal.

    I'm sorry you feel that way - it must be hell, living with that as your core belief. (And I mean that sincerely, not as a jab.)

    I suppose I am 'the left'. And I want the country to thrive and succeed. With all intended rights and freedoms intact for all. I just believe that it is in the best interests of the whole to make sure that individuals do not fall. Or not fall too far.

    He was an honourable man who without a doubt loved this country.
    He was for genuine democracy and against bullsh*t
    RIP Mr. Cummings.

    I haven't heard any of that - can you point me in that direction? I've only heard folks speaking of him as a civil rights hero. Who, on the left, is using his death to score political points today?

    An amazing testimonial to the life and deeds of Elijah Cummings from.... Trey Gowdy.

    https://twitter.com/TGowdySC/status/1184827474443673600

    It is truly moving and also a little bit unexpected. Trey Gowdy shows a warm, humane side that I don't think very many have noticed up until now.

    Here an excerpt:

    The problem with vermin like Cummings is that when one dies, there are plenty of vermin to take his place. They just can't die fast enough.

    Wasn't it Bernie that said his district was like a third world country?

    These do-gooder liberals just can't see what frauds and hustlers scum like Cummings are.

    They always believe the "help the little guy" sales pitch and never look at the consequences of their actions.

    It's mindboggling how obtuse these people are.

    Well the rats and rodents in his district are having a candlelight vigil tonight.

    There was no greater friend to the rats and rodents of their district than Elijah Cummings.

    The rats and rodents are now in fear of the streets being cleaned up without Cummings there to worry about Cummings.

    I wonder if Bill Maher is hoping that Cummings died a painful death.

    I really liked him. He seemed to be a wise counselor and a statesman. Very sad, RIP.

    That people would post such incredibly hateful **** is:

    a.) a testament to the fact the the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the USA works very well
    b.) proof positive that some people are very, very sick and lack in the most basic of human decency.

    Shame on you.
