Elijah Cummings is now a good communist. From Associated Press:
Powerful Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings has died
Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, a sharecropper’s son who rose to become a civil rights champion and the chairman of one of the U.S. House committees leading an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, died Thursday of complications from longstanding health problems. He was 68.
Cummings was a formidable orator who advocated for the poor in his black-majority district , which encompasses a large portion of Baltimore and more well-to-do suburbs.
It should be noted that the living conditions in his district were really deplorable - here, here and here for starters.
At least he is now somewhere really nice and warm. Really warm. Hot almost.
Re your Mark Twain quote - the thought police are on the way.
