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.

I just hope Donald Trump  doesn't  say anything disrespectful about him  !

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.

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)

Same team also picked Alex Trebek, so clearly they've got something of a midas touch about them.

Look at the comment chain, news was broken by @MrWonderful who references a CNN piece, with @The Old Crem providing a QO.
 

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.

I should really start a Detroit thread.  Next time I will and that's that.  

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.

(*Hint Milliken still alive, prime DDP candidate)
SC

 

Not any more. William Milliken dead at 97.

Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky is somewhere in this thread and here is an update:

 

http://www.theguardian.com/law/2015/aug/24/soviet-dissident-sues-crown-prosecution-service-alleging-libel

 

He sues the crown prosecution service for libel (child pornography). He returned to his home last week after spending four months in a german hospital after major heart surgery. He's also a prominent opponent of Vladimir Putin, having run against him in 2008 and being involved in the Litvinenko trial.
