YoungWillz 21,057 Posted October 17, 2019 Now we can start the Trump conspiracy theories. Been following the US proceedings and given he was in charge of one of the most powerful Committees of Congress looking into Trump, this is a major US death. Wow. Well done to the team who picked him for the DDP, looked as strong as an ox to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CastAway 488 Posted October 17, 2019 Cummings was House Oversight Chairman, so expect Trump to make a typical daft comment, and 8 million conspiracy theories to give you a headache. That aside, Cummings will be missed in the House, especially now with impeachment processes starting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 17, 2019 Just broke on CBS. I mean just. And @CastAway posted (WITHOUT LINK) 16 minutes ago. Name your source....or have we located one of Cummings' relatives lurking on DL? (EDIT: He was ABSOLUTELY 2020 DDP, so a hurtful loss. Imagine that, Elijah Cummings ruining my day once again on the way out) SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why I needed to provide another source of Cummings' death after that - the conversation had been happening for an hour plus before I got there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Former Detroit mayoral spokesman and communications strategist Bob Berg has died following a battle with cancer. He was 76. Berg died Wednesday at his Detroit home. Berg served as press secretary from 1983-93 for Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young. He was executive assistant for public affairs from 1977-82 for Michigan Gov. William Milliken.
