Cummings: ‘I’m Begging the American People to Pay Attention’ — Our Democracy Is at Stake
« on: July 25, 2019, 08:45:48 pm »
Pam Key 24 Jul 2019

Wednesday at a press conference on Capitol Hill, House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) begged the American people to pay attention to the details in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress.

Cummings said, “Our speaker made it clear that we needed to paint a picture for America so that they could fully understand what is going on. This is a critical moment in our country’s history. Don’t be fooled. And it is a moment which people will be talking about and reading about 300, 400, 500 years from now. They are going to ask the question, what did you do when we had a president who knew the rules and knew that our founding fathers had done a great job of creating a Constitution and had put in all the guardrails, but never anticipated that we would have a president that would just throw away the guardrails. And that’s why what happened today is so critical. It was a giant step in making sure that the American people got a picture of all of this and hopefully will look toward the future and say ‘we’re not going to have this.'”

He continued, “It’s not about not liking the president. It’s about loving democracy. It’s about loving our country. It’s about making a difference for generations yet unborn. That’s what this is all about. And I’m begging. I’m begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on because if you want to have a democracy intact for your children and your children’s children and generations yet unborn, we have got to guard this moment. This is our watch.”

What a bleep idiot. What history will remember 300 years from now is a political party that lost sight of its reason for being and tried to make a mountain out of a molehill for purely partisan purposes.

Someone PLEASE inform Mr. Cummings that we are NOT a stinking democracy!  We are a REPUBLIC and anyone who does not know the difference has no business in government!

Exerpts from the Meuller performance will inform thoughtfful folks, the democrats are inept, corrupt, etc.


Sadly instead of basic civics, our children are being indoctriated in nonsense, boys can become girls, that history is meaningless, etc.

That's true, and our Republic is in danger because of imbeciles like his voters.

Bad move, Mr. President.  You called his voters "deplorable."

(They are, but you can't call them that.)

It's more to keep his base with him, in the aftermath of another disastrous budget deal. This will be SOP for the remainder of his term of office.

I was wrong...Trump's not the Mr. Thompson from Atlas Shrugged, he's The Deacon from Waterworld.

In other words, he thinks I am too stupid to see it myself, and need the Democrats to explain it for me.

The arrogance and condescension of the Left is so insulting.

I rarely agree with Axelrod, but I have to agree Trump shot himself in the foot here, for the reason I stated upthread:  He called the voters deplorable.

Elijah Cummings responds to Trump swipe at his 'rat and rodent infested' Maryland district
by Daniel Chaitin
 | July 27, 2019 11:24 AM



Rep. Elijah Cummings unleashed a flurry of tweets in response to a social media salvo from President Trump over his criticism of the border situation.

After Trump claimed Cummings' Baltimore-based district in Maryland was "more dangerous" than the U.S.-Mexico border, the Democratic leader defended his record of working for his constituents.

"Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors. It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents," Cummings said.

Baltimore mayor blasts Trump for 'vicious' tweets: 'You are a disappointment' to my city

by Hunter Lovell
 | July 27, 2019 04:58 PM



Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young blasted President Trump for his comments Saturday morning that Rep. Elijah Cummings' is a "brutal bully" and that his Baltimore-based district is "far worse" than the southern border.

"It's completely unacceptable for the political leader of our country to denigrate a vibrant American City like Baltimore, and to viciously attack U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings a patriot and a hero," Young said in a statement.

Oh, man.  Trump may have just lost several of the couple dozen supporters he had in Baltimore.  I guess MD's 10EV are off the table now.

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!

Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA......


....As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place

Yes, but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, considering he’s supposedly a builder. The homes in West Baltimore are full of asbestos and lead paint. The cost of demolition and clean up isn’t worth the rebuilding effort.

You think he hasn't figured out how to pay off an inspector?  What do you think he did with all the money he saved screwing his contractors?

We have complete zipcodes in Montgomery County that would literally become ghost towns if the illegals were flushed.  Not an exaggeration.
