I don't celebrate death, but I do get a smile from the death of career republicans.

Having dealt with LaMalfa in local politics in my area, this is zero loss to humanity.
Absolutely Agree.
It's OK to enjoy some obituaries
Nah, it's okay to celebrate some deaths.
I try and never hope for another human being's death. Fortunately, pieces of shit aren't human.
By humans are terrible creatures and always have been. It's a choice to be a good person, it requires sacrifice and intent.
By not acknowledging this gives them a well if I'm not human why should I try to be humane mentality.
Don't fool yourself they are very very very human. Humans are horrible historically soeaking6
Are you seriously trying to say that by not acknowledging fascists humanity, it's MY FAULT if they then act inhumanely?
Those are some convoluted hoops to jump through just to do some victim blaming.
If you side with fascists, and utterly forsake common moral decency, you are no longer worthy of having your humanity considered when society comes for you. Sorry, shouldn't have voluntarily placed yourself in opposition to all moral and ethical standards.
No, I am not saying that
By not acknowledging this gives them a well if I'm not human why should I try to be humane mentality.
You certainly seem to be connecting my opinion of them to their later inhumane mentality.
The congressman experienced a medical emergency on Monday night and was taken to a local hospital, where he died during a surgical procedure, the Butte County sheriff’s office said on Tuesday. Officials haven't disclosed the cause of his death.
“He voted with me 100% of the time,” Trump said. “With Doug, I never had to call.”
Sexual asphixiation
Every Republican that leaves office, by whatever means, is good for the world.
I would say that the supreme Court judges or any of the life long positions would be best served staying in office until this administration is over, even if that is a different Republican administration I would like to see someone else appointing them
It's a particularly shitty time in politics when the main takeaway from a person dying is how it will impact partisan vote count.
The way Doug LaMalfa is remembered by the country at large was in no one's hands except Doug LaMalfa's.
If you don't want people to celebrate when you die, you should probably try not being utterly morally bankrupt and siding with a fascist autocracy.
I know nothing about Doug LaMalfa but political opinions work both ways. It's very dangerous when people want politicians dead instead of voted out.
Oh please 🙄
Get real, champagne will flow when Pedonald is found in a bed of his shit.
What does Donny Diddler have to do with this rep dying?
I noticed this too. Like a person dies and the immediate thought is how it affects the house.
Maybe he's terrible but youre right, it's a shitty time in politics.

Is this before or after losing MTG?
That’s one.
That is a thin majority.
And if Green had just gone independent instead of retiring...
