Wow... Check Out Cummings Academic Credentials...

[orangecrush]

From Wikipedia....


"Cummings was born on January 18, 1951 in Baltimore, the son of Ruth Elma (née Cochran) and Robert Cummings.[2] He was the third child of seven. Cummings graduated with honors from the Baltimore City College high school in 1969.[3][4] He later attended Howard University in Washington, D.C.,[4] where he served in the student government as sophomore class president, student government treasurer and later student government president. He became a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society[5] and graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science.[4][6]

Cummings graduated from law school at the University of Maryland School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1976, and was admitted to the Maryland Bar later that year.[7] He practiced law for 19 years before first being elected to the House in the 1996 elections.[8]

Cummings has received 12 honorary doctoral degrees from universities across America, most recently an honorary doctorate of public service from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2017.[9][10]"

Compare this man to the insult to decency and humanity that

NOW OCCUPIES THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THIS NOW DISGRACED COUNTRY.

1. You are being very unfair to our President

Our Dear Leader finished first in his class at University of Pennsylvania (even though all public records indicated he didn't even graduate with honors), after transferring in based on family connections, after attending military school (I wonder why).

How dare you insult him like that.


for avoidance of doubt.

3. I am not surprised

The entire DNC is full of people who excel in character and morale values.

8. Agree 100%

And Cummings responded as a gentleman, not sinking to the dirtbag's level.

5. Yah but,

the Accused Rapist and Racist did collect some Award Ribbons and a couple medals for Cleanliness and Neatness. And he avoided catching any STD's. I mean you know. Yah right!

6. He has a JD.

BA/JD is a nice combination, but it's not truly stunning.

72% of the House has a graduate degree. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/12/28/congress-in-2019-the-2nd-most-educated-and-least-politically-experienced-house-freshman-class/

Of the 92 new Representatives, all but two have bachelor's degrees. 90% have a "graduate degree". "More than a 3rd" have a JD, the most common "graduate degree," and 15% an MBA--which presumes a bachelor's degree. Mostly bachelor's degrees in social sciences (then humanities, not so much STEM). https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2018/12/10/the-college-profile-of-the-116th-congresss-first-year-class/#6553b9c73bcc

Note that I put "graduate degree" in quotes where the article doesn't because I don't think of professional degrees as graduate degrees.

Note that lawyers are thick on the ground in the House and Senate, and that's "JD". Poli sci counts as "social science". Meaning that if there's a predominant set of credentials, Cumming's are in that set.

11. University of Maryland

Is, overall, a top school. Nothing I would be ashamed of having a degree from them (I don't, I am all GWU..)

9. Cummings' superlative credentials reminds me:

WE MUST DO MORE THAN CALL THE REPUBLICANS RACIST, WE MUST CALL THEM DUMB RACISTS, AND TRUMP IS THE DUMBEST RACIST OF ALL.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. Rep Cummings stands for us.

Dump and his followers are worthless filth.

[Kid Berwyn]

12. An educated human being who uses his critical faculties in public service vs...

...a Bankrupt Unstable Moron in thrall to Putin.

Wish there were more like Mr. Cummings.

Oh yeah. They’re Democrats.

[The Wizard]

13. Trump loves

the poorly educated.
