Yep. Trump knows what he’s doing. He shines the light on the cockroaches like nobody else can.

Remember Lewis’ “bewaa da waff of dee amercun peeble”.

Either John Lewis has a strong command of the Ebonic language or he has marbles in his mouth!

No, I never tried to look him up before.

They must be filling in the most popular searches, or what they think the most popular search should be.

Remember when Trump saying he would not necessarily accept the results of the election was an outrage and a threat to Democracy? When Lewis says Trump is illegitimate he is a hero. Same with Ob@stard. Black privilege?

There needs to be an SLA (Service Level Agreement) between an elected congresscritter and his constituency. If his district does not achieve a certain level of growth after two terms, he is eliminated from running from a third term.

Measure it against key performance indicators like crime, employment, infrastructure, housing. Provided those indicators show positive growth the congressmen gets through the tollgate for another term.

Best part about this if the congressmen tries to fudge the numbers, it is a felony punishable by 10 years in prison. This will force the congressmen to do more for his constituency than suck at the government teet while eating at Lutece.

Agree. I like to see Trump invite Lewis back to the Republican party the party of his Great Great Grandfather. The PBS show with Henry gates chronicled Lewis’ grandfather out of slavery and his voting record. Lewis saw the record of his grand father voting multiple times and then it stopped. Lewis asked why did it stop. Gates told him, the Democrats got elected. Lewis’s reaction was priceless. While this exchange between Lewis and Gates has been scrubbed from YouTube, ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b9DOY0h_9U

The Island originally was Watson Island! Pappy Chalk’s Air Service was on SW tip of island. My family fished often at Mr. Chalk’s landing ramp. He flew Grumman amphibians(Apaches, and Wigeons(?).
Jungle Island(Different Organization) was on the Miami River at 27 Ave. Col. Paul Warfield Tibbets, Jr. lived a few blocks away just prior to WW2.

I agree. These marxists Democrats have gotten away with saying the most preposterous things for years. Lewis who has sat on his civil rights laurels of his past for too long and has done nothing meaningful or noteworthy since. They are cultural marxists and they need to be defeated.

We need to stand up against the crap sandwiches that the left & their media has been throwing at us for years. No more, I say! No more!

So almost everyone can quote something that Martin Luther King said that he thinks was inspiring or intelligent.

Has John Lewis any inspiring or intelligent quotes? And if not, why does anyone pay any attention to him?

Remember that Lewis carried the water for Hillary and obstructed the investigation of the Benghazi incident. He has no honor.

I guess everything is going just great in Lewis’ district, so he has time to go to Miami.

Yeah, why not? His district is only the 14th in violent crime in the U.S. according to the FBI, so he has plenty of free time. When they get to No. 1, he will probably bar about it - "We're No. 1! We're No. 1!."
