Hillary and Obama did the best shade. Maya Cummings was just right out there!

and his wife Maya Rockeymoore Cummings - she was amazing.

His daughters, too. What a wonderful celebration of a life well lived!

His quotes from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama made my eyes prickle.

It was sooooooooooo personal...

I would have been a mess. She was so clam, measured and loving. It was so good to see the feelings she had for her father and hear her tell of the feelings her father had for her. We

them as "honorable." was priceless. Those in attendance erupted with laughter and applause.

Then, he went on with, "But Elijah Cummings was honorable before he was elected to office."

There had to have been some squirming in their seats by a few of the Congresscritters who attended.

kept panning to Gym Jordan. Ugh.

His day will come.

for this, mcar.. and Mahalo to President Obama!

RIP~Elijah

Hillary's!

wonderful eulogies.

...lost decency so quickly?

Only Obama could have shown such rhetorical power and so captured the longing of our nation for justice.

I was not aware of Congressman Cummings until the hearing where he spoke to Michael Cohen, beautifully, and with great compassion for a man who was confessing to awful things.

Now I wish I'd known more of Congressman Cummings. It is terrible that he is gone, but in going when he did, he gave us an opportunity to see what we have lost.

He's probably already pissed he didn't get invited to speak. His 2 nemeses were speaking. You know he's playing it over and over and stewing in his own flop sweat.

And he'd have little comprehension of what was being said if he did.

But I wonder if any red state, white ministers, of all people, would understand these words and have even a twinge of acknowledgement of how mighty Pres. Obama's words are and perhaps even a bit of guilt over how they've been wronging this country. Naww, silly thought; their souls too far buried in the muck of lies.

...that it probly didn't even register in his dim consciousness. But everyone else who saw or heard it knew exactly who the target was, even thhough his name was never used.

I loved it

His eulogy got to me in many ways.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

--Gandhi

Strength, honor, forgiveness, humility, these are qualities that Trump will never have. These are qualities embodied in the character of Jesus, whom the evangelicals purport to serve.

Some Bible followers think that Trump is the Anti-Christ for the very reason that the evangelical power base has embraced him. I say that Representative Cummings was the Anti-Trump.

Honorable Elijah E. Cummings indeed.
