Former Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the longest-serving African American member of Congress, died Sunday at age 90, according to multiple reports.

Conyers, a veteran of the Korean War and participant in the Civil Rights movement, was co-founder of the Congressional Black Caucus and chaired the House Oversight Committee from 1989 to 1995. He also introduced the bill establishing a national holiday commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.

Conyers resigned from his Detroit-area seat in 2017 after serving for over 50 years amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment from young female staffers. His grandnephew Ian Conyers lost the 2018 Democratic primary to now-Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).

Since he was as crooked as a cork screw, where are they going to screw him into the ground? I’d like to pay my respects.

My mother taught me that being a grifter or swindler is tacky.

I read that there had been multiple complaints from female staff that he would regularly run around his office in nothing but his tighty whities. YUCK.

At the risk of being seen as cold-hearted, I shed no tears for those who would destroy this nation through their illegal behaviors, their unethical behaviors, their immorality and their corruption.

That is true.

In all cases, (the 2 times using and the 2 times being used) the love was overcome by the stupidity of being used eventually, but not before a lot of $$ was wasted.

I’d say I feel VERY guilty about the times I used but it would be lying.

I feel a little bad.

OK, this isn’t therapy and i’m not paying you 75 dollars so this conversation is over!! :)

I’ll be happy to take your money to say, “Oh, I see,” and “Really? How interesting!”

Appears keeping up on politics wasn’t a part of it.

See ya. Nothing like taking out the trash. HRC and RBG are hopefully not far behind.
