And to think it was not that long ago I saw him in that Michael Cohen hearing.

RIP I guess. I didn't know Cummings that much, but from that Cohen hearing I liked the cut of his jib. He seems like one of the few politicians in the world that was actually a professional.

Sad, but at least he doesn't have to listen anymore to the nonsense some of his republican cohorts on the committees came out with.
Not too familiar with him, but he seemed a decent fellow.

Yeah, as if the current generation wasn't bad enough.

Has Trump suggested he caught an infection from his poverty-stricken, dirty, rat infested constituency yet?

So far his pattern has been to defame people with falsehoods and slurs while they are alive, pretend he never said any of it around the time of the funeral, then resume the same course once the eulogies have stopped coming out in the papers

Yeah, it's a bit premature for that just yet. Also, he has higher profile targets to lie about, like Rep. Ilhan Omar.

It's telling that probably the most popular president my our time still increased our number of drone strikes, was at least unaware of family separations going on at the border and was willing to appoint a telecoms lobbyist to the FCC, tus aiding attempts to dismantle net neutrality.

Trump wishes he had Obama's deporting numbers. Or migrants coming to the US border. But then he set up a secret border at the bottom of Mexico so he didn't have to deal with pesky human rights violation.

Also SOPA and the TTP - which were heavily centred around stopping piracy. But then, apparently so has Trump's trade war because one of the concession China made last week was to stop pirating so much stuff. And buy beans

Lastly, let's not forget Quantitative Easing, HEMP, TARP and making sure those who are rich (the ones who ruined the economy) got their money back and giving the poor 2 years to find a job that rich people destroyed. Because only the rich know what's good for the economy. He only gets a partial credit here because many of these shenanigans appeared under Bush.

There's probably others I've forgotten. He manage to actually do a lot, while not doing much

And the worst part is... he's still better than Trump.
