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

Chronic pain can do that to you, Windflier.

Here's hoping you never know.

BTW, how are things going with you? Wishing you well.

______________

....... a sheepish grin here.

He was a hater in D.C., and his district in Maryland was a sewer with him at the helm. He was not a credit to his race. He used his people.

He was one of the biggest crooks in Congress. He stole tens of millions of dollars - including money that was meant for the poor in his district.

When his microphone was on, he never missed an opportunity to intimidate, castigate, and harangue witnesses who he saw as a threat to him.



He spread lies about others, and made false accusations.

We all will face the justice of God one day. I wonder, wherever he is now, if he has reflected on the life he lived.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

A woman running for the VA House of Delegates stopped by the house. She asked if I had any concerns. I told her if she wins, to not become a crook, as the last Republican to hold that seat is currently in federal prison for defrauding the government. Cummings may have been a decent chap at one point, he certainly ended up a crook.

I question that also. He has been in Congress since 1966. 2019-1966=53 years. He got elected when he was 15? lol.....

Never would’ve guessed he was only 68. He looked a lot older

Don’t doubt for 1 second that the Dem’s/media won’t suggest Trump had something to do with this.

I would like to feel sad about this, but I can’t get there. What I want to know is this: What did he know about Bill and Hillary that would cause him to take a dirt nap?
