He had had a couple surgeries that were supposedly low risk, but he got infections.
68? I thought the dude was about 1000.
Where will the Carcass be played ?
Biden predicted Trump would be out of office today. Looks like the bolt from the blue found a more worthy target...
"to regard highly or favorably; regard with respect or admiration: I esteem him for his honesty."
I don't think that is the right choice of words.
Perhaps it is a portrait as in "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
Saw a bumper sticker that said, "Heaven doesn't want me and hell is afraid I'll take over."
Occupant of the car has no idea with whom he is dealing.
I disagreed on most of Cummings’ policy positions and his rhetoric, but as a human being, I never cheer a person’s death. A person is made up of much more than what you hear/see on TV.
WHO, exactly, "esteemed" him?
Pol Pot, Hitler and Stalin probably loved their mothers, so what. They were evil and so was Cummings. The USA is a better place without him.
The sooner that the poison that is Hillary Clinton is excised from our body politic the better we will all be for it.
What did the press know and when did they know it?
They embargoed this news story but leak every communication they can swipe from the Trump White House while communicating with heads of state.
Can you imagine real time disclosures of FDR or Harry S Truman’s private discussions with Joseph Stalin?
Who knew he was sick and his last vote was September 11? Yep, a well kept secret.
I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure. —Attributed to Mark Twain
Another old song of WW II comes to mind..
When that man is dead and gone.
When that man is dead and gone.
We’ll go dancing down the street
Kissing everyone we meet
When that man is dead and gone.
What a day to wake up on.
What a way to greet the dawn.
Hap- hap- happy, yes indeed!
On the morning when we read
That that man is dead and gone.
Just when you thought all news was bad.
Gave them time to prepare his morgue file for the wires and highlight his bulldog status in guarding American from the bad Orange man.
Will he have a gaudy McCain funeral with the window exposing her cleavage like Cindy did?
We see such questions often on FR, yet we are supposed to be more knowledgeable about the Constitution. Members of the House of Representatives are not appointed by governors when there is a vacancy. There must be an election to fill the seat. Only senators are appointed by governors in the event of a vacancy before a term is completed.
Yep. Thats what Im talking about.
