Not knowing a thing about her, I know I would like her because there's no way he would have chosen to spend his life with anyone who wasn't a decent, respectable human being.

He has also said a lot of gross things about Latinos.

I wish someone would primary him. There are a number of NY Democrats I am unhappy with. The Democratic machine in NY is the worst. I am tired of voting for an anti-vax Democrat who only cares about the UES portion of the district she represents. Ugh.

I've watched videos from Cummings' homegoing a couple of times since the service. It just soothes my soul to see the celebration of a life well-lived. It reminds me of what I want in a public servant.

He was a thoughtful, kind, compassionate man who did the work for the people of his district. When people spoke well of him it was a testament to the type of person he was. When Trump goes the struggle will be to find someone who will be willing to speak well of him without having a laughing fit over the number of lies that will have to be put over to make him seem like a somewhat decent human being.

You're forgetting Warren "Gangsta" Harding, also too.

In fact, Harding reminds me the most of Trump, as he was a clueless incompetent who won by surprise and packed his cabinet with the most corrupt cronies he could find.

Do abysmally stupid gaffes qualify as "pithy" sayings?

Let me get this straight. The planet is literally burning, and the Republicans still don't want to do anything about it because it might fuck up the quarterly report.
