He's actually right. But not in the way he thinks. This is about whether the media can create a phony conspiracy theory and use it as a pretext for a coup to take out an elected president.

The mainstream media is destroying American representative democracy.

Any elected official that doesn’t know this is NOT a democracy should not be holding office. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on the dinner menu. Cummings and the rest of the Stalinist wolves think that Trump is the sheep.

But the soul of your democracy has nothing to do with the United States of America.

When Elijah Cummings and Maxine Waters are in the same room, the IQ level drops to a minus figure....

Its interesting that the the most outrageous statements and hyperbole are coming from the most “out there” fringe elements of the Democrat Party - often part of the Congressional Black Caucus

Are the Democrats purposely having freaks like Maxine Waters and Al Green talk about “impeachment” and taking down Trump because the leaders want to put it out there, without damaging their own reputations? Or are kooks like Maxine Waters (and Elijah Cummings) just doing this on their own, to appeal to their own twisted constituency?

This is my take as well. I cant imagine them winning, but if they do, this really WILL be like Dr Zivago but without the love story.

Earth to Elijah Cummings - the United States of America is not a democracy. It is a representative republic, elected by democratic processes, by a defined electorate.

A democracy eventually descends into a tyranny by the majority, which then falls under the control of a very distinct minority, which rides along with the majority as a parasite, while concealing their true intent.

Remember those days when many of us actually thought that these marshmallow minds were actually to be respected?

Then came the net and found out what the meaning of “sub normal” was.

Along with perfect examples, such as Elihah.

When it gets to the point where somebody like Cummings could be elected president,it’s time for conservatives to leave the country.

This is about the last best chance to win the “war against White Male Supremacy”. Most of these liberal elitists who think we’re six steps back from them in evolution don’t have a clue what they’re fighting for. Irony is, if it all came tumbling down, the useful idiots wouldn’t last as long as we would. JMHO

In more accurate words, this is a fight to protect the Dem gravy train, a century-long looting program built on denigrating hard-working, freedom-loving Americans to justify Dem greed.

Rep Cummings needs to:
(1) stop being a pompous drama queen;
(2) learn that we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy.
