Just announced. He was 68.

Yeah he didnt look to be in the best of health. I can’t imagine the pressure he was under after the revelations of his corruption. Sometimes it comes as a relief.

They will celebrate his life and forget his misdeeds into the memory hole. That’s probably best.

Prayers for his family and those who loved him.

Wikipedia has his date of birth as January 18, 1951.

I wished he would have just gone away, but he will not be missed. His replacement will probably be worse.

These things tend to happen in threes.
E.C.
R.B.G.
H.R.C.

[jimbug]

He is now with his god.

[ducttape45]

Now that I see who he is, yep, not a letdown. I agree with those say, “Rest in Peace,” but it’s hard not to breathe a small sigh of relief knowing another antagonist of Trump’s is gone.

[Sirius Lee]

Now he’s one wiff da Erf.

This!

Plus, R.I.P.

[chrisser]

Another chance for Bill and Hill to yuck it up at a Dem funeral.

Can Trump take this seat?

[Celtic Conservative]

I see you made “God” lowercase. Intentional?

You call it the “Trump Curse” while the other side say Trump is using his mob ties to eliminate people.

Comparisons between Trump and Clinton are being made.

Wikipedia has his date of birth as January 18, 1951.

Well I'll be darned. He looked so much older.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It’s a shame that he never learned how to speak English.

[who knows what evil?]

TDS.

[piasa]

I wonder if they’ll pass out/sell T Shirts, like they did before?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

May God comfort those who loved him.

What a sly way to say something nice. Best comment on this post.

[sauropod]

Wife just told me.

I remember when Murtha died, I was in BWI when I heard the news. Happy dance and war whoops.

Not gonna do it this time. Not gonna do it.

Tie me down to the chair.

I’d rather it be Breyer than HRC.

[Samurai_Jack]

There was no power more absolute and more corrupt than the stranglehold that this guy had on his district. He died holding on to that ring of power. It is intoxicating.

[canuck_conservative]

What a hate-filled person.

Never had a good thing to say about Pres. Trump, Trump voters, or Republicans in general. Cummings was just plain nasty.

This jerk won’t be missed. The fact that there’s already so many replies on a 3-am thread shows just how much he is reviled here on FR.
