I can honestly say I enjoy the commercials more than the programming.

He died from Trump Derangement Syndrome. He was doomed to pass by 2020 anyway. There will be many more when Trump gets re elected. That big blood vessel in the center of a Dem's forehead can't take the pressure.

Winning!!!!!!!

Trump tweeted his “condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader.”

That's class right there.

People on social media are commenting in disbelief that Trump said something so kind. I think there was some double meanings in there - like you pointed out.

He was in a hospice setting. His GPS was programmed with a direct route to Dirt Nap.

If this news had broke prior to the Democrat debate the other night, everyone on the stage would have said: “One of the most important things we can do to honor the legacy of this great man is to remove Donald Trump from office.” (I’m sure we’ll hear that anyway over the next few days.)

We lost a giant today. Congressman Elijah Cummings was a fearless leader, a protector of democracy, and a fighter for the people of Maryland. Our world is dimmer without him in it.— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) October 17, 2019
