I'm not sure why it's different... seems like, since Representatives are elected for 2 year terms, then it would make more sense to have them replaced via appointment, since they are going to have to run again shortly anyways.

Like what?

His district is one of the biggest shitholes in the country. Probably top-5. And that's even after receiving billions in federal and state aide year after year. Of which nobody can seem to fully account for.

He and his family sure got wealthy as frick on his $175k salary, though, somehow. Odd how that works.


Seriously, what good can he be credited with?

And don't give us some "black civil rights champion" bullshite. Because again, his district is a hellhole for blacks, and who have suffered in stagnant poverty, collapsing infrastructure, plummeting education stats, and astounding crime rates for 50+ years.

My warmest 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. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!

Along with Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Fat Teddy, Castro and Epstein. They can all bend over together.

You are clearly retarded.

Racist?!? please, can you provide to me that he was one


He framed everything in terms of race. He did nothing unless he could play the race card.

Most of you all never lived in Baltimore or Maryland and talking like you all lived there all of your life in his district.



Been there, true shithole city and Cummings did absolutely nothing to improve things. He got rich and his constituents got poorer.

Because he is going to a better place then most of us is going (myself included)


Burning in Hell is absolutely better than living in Baltimore or working a 23 year career as a political piece of filth. Better than being a low-IQ dolt like you too.

Never would wish death upon anyone. Wish it just said retired.

But he was one of many shitty politicians in DC who have done nothing but hurt this country more than help it.

I'll forever remember him virtue signaling by screaming at that ICE agent.

RIP Cummings.

Dude has had health problems. 12 terms for him and hes only worked since trump got elected. Doing nothing and then melting everyday will kill someone. Glad the Kang is dead.

FWIW, I have watched his committee hearings probably more than most and the dude was a ignorant piece of shite. Our government is so much better without him.

He should have just retired off into the sunset and enjoyed his last remaining days (especially since he was in bad health), but these people just can't give up their power and will hold it until the grave.

That expensive art collection wasn't going to add to itself if he was retired and didn't have access to the treasury.

Long thread so someone may have said it, but I was shocked to read that he was only 68. I thought he was around 80. He looked old 20 years ago.

Let's take a second to compare his life to yours -- because that's all it would take.
