Rep. Elijah Cummings, the powerful House Democrat who represented Baltimore for more than two decades and was a vocal critic of President Trump, died early Thursday after battling health problems, his office said in a statement.

Cummings, who was 68, died at Gilchrist Hospice Care, a Johns Hopkins affiliate. As chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, he was one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington, and played a key role in the House Democrats' ongoing efforts to impeach Trump.

I am no fan of the man but I hope he made his peace with God, and that his family will be comforted in their time of grief.

Well...he may no longer be able to run for office, but at least he can still vote.

He wasn’t a Senator, so there will be no appointment of his wife. He was Representative, so an election will be held.

His wife may run, (relatively young at 48, and undoubtedly rich with plunder), or she may find a young buck to spend her time with.

I have never been a fan of “Low Life”, Democrat Congressman, Elijah Cummings who did absolutely nothing for the his African-Americans living in the Baltimore, Maryland poverty, murder & crime ghetto. He was just like Barack Hussein Obama.....”Heed what I say ....but, not what I do”!!! My heart & soul grieve for the thousands of depraved Black Americans who lived in forever poverty and exposure to daily crime and murder in their neighborhoods, while Cummings danced away with Obama calling people racists and worse, while they filled their pockets with the Devil’s gold!!!

I will not condemn him in his departing this Earth...for that judgement belongs to God Almighty & his beloved son, Jesus Christ!!! God in his greatness and unending wisdom does his bidding as required!!! “What goes around, comes around”!!!

Look for someone whom the late Rep.Cummings Haas “prep”to take over.

Yup,that's one possibility. Another is that we'll see some Ilhan Omar-type pig crawl out of the woodwork.Given the current state of the Rat Party I,personally,see that as being the most likely scenario.

Does RBG know?

Maybe Elijah goes to prepare a place for her (to paraphrase)

...relatively young at 48...

68 and 48? So he was a cradle robber on top of everything else.

He lambasted the rich,
he seared capitalists,
he excoriated big business,
he touted black exceptionalism,
he fomented race passions,
he blocked his opponents,
he positioned himself as a champion of the poor,
the oppressed,
he spoke out, he screamed...
He did everything except improve the lives of the people who elected him.

Let us not be subjected to another “SONGBIRD” funeral extravaganza like we were when McCain finally augured in for the last time.

Too bad he didn’t live long enough to see Donald J Trump sworn in again.

But happy to see him witness Trump's first presidency and the orderly teardown of Obama's vile legacy.

Wow, very scary stuff early in the day.

I was unable to find such a dire prognosis, thankfully I do not have a knew replacement, but know people who do.

This article used the word “cured”...

Once your orthopaedic surgeon and the infectious disease doctor determine that the infection has been cured (this usually takes at least 6 weeks), you will be a candidate for a new total hip or knee implant (called a revision surgery). This second procedure is stage 2 of treatment for joint replacement infection.

https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases—conditions/joint-replacement-infection/

Do you have a source, or do you know people who have never been able to get rid of the infection?

Not that old, the ticker.

Already being lionized as the best thing since sliced pumpernickel. “Let’s beat Trump for Elijah!!” “Let’s register illegals to vote for Elijah!!”.

Barf.

But may his troubled soul rest in peace (not “in power” as is trending on twitter for some strange reason, I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean but it sounds sacrilegious.)
