He wanted to deny humans their rights. That should make it okay to celebrate his death. No anti-human should be protected from...WORDS.

That man briefly and unexpectedly encountered some fentanyl lurking in his ketamine

Fucked to death by a gorilla is what I'm hearing.

Wow. Graham and McConnell dead in the same summer. What a great time to be alive. Suddenly everything is a little brighter. I can hear birds singing.

There is the rule of 3, so 1 more repub politician and 1 more female hit singer. After the lady from 'party rock anthem,' and bonnie Tyler from 'total eclipse of the heart.'

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Lets have 3 more geriatric psychopath politicians instead of that third singer though

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago

Maybe just kid rock and call it a day.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Well they die in threes so who last evil person to go?

"I have never wished for a man's death, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." - Mark Twain

This right here? This is what he was talking about.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 5 points 8 hours ago

Clarance Darrow said it. It wasn't Twain.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

So who had Graham in the betting pool? He was long shot at 71. He was just a kid.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

He was barely old enough for Congress. Another 15 years and he would have been in his prime!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Was he the one who was at Disneyworld during his government shutdown paid vacation?

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 4 points 11 hours ago

He was at Disneyworld alone, playing like a child.

Brief and sudden illness? Fine, I'll take it but I'd much prefer a long, painful, debilitating and devastating illness...
Oh well, fingers crossed for that orange Fatboy McKiddieFiddler. Come on, devastating illness, you can do it!!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 12 hours ago

My respect for Etsy Witches is growing.

I'm crossing the aisle to root for Schmuck Schumer. I hope he croaks before he gets to retire amd enjoy his stolen fortune.

Or that hatefull fox woman.

Doesn't even remotely look like a fox...

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Make an AIPAC cleansweeo

Don't speak ill of the dead and all... but I would shit on this loser's grave if given the opportunity. Those are about the nicest words I can stomach.

[–] Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

We should speak ill of the dead. We should not let the fucked up shit they perpetrated be forgotten. We need to speak ill of them and remember them to do better than them.

I would consider the whole "Don't say anything bad about them now that they're dead" is a huge contributor to so much bullshit. It encourages forgetting their crimes.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

I like to focus on good things people have done.

He died.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 6 points 9 hours ago

Don’t speak ill of the dead and all

Why? I am happy saying some people deserve it.

[–] TaterTurnipTulip@lemmy.world 36 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

We should speak ill of the dead more often. We should never forget what wretched people some of them are. And save some room on the grave for the rest of us to drop trou and honor this fascist in the proper way.

[–] mr_account@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago

110% agree. Being dead neither absolves someone of their actions, nor fixes the pain and damage they've willingly inflicted on others. If you don't want people to speak ill of you after you die, live a life that reflects it.

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 11 points 14 hours ago

"I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good!"

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Can you imagine the absolute panic, of some, if another dies soon; (and the wild celebrations by others)

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 12 hours ago

If you get invited to MAGA's "Weekend at Mitch's" Party, don't go.

The crab literally comes from the music video for Crab Rave by Noisestorm. But on the Internet, we use it to celebrate the downfall of a contemptable person.

E.g. fuck Lindsay Graham, I'm glad he's dead 🦀

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago

Reddit bans you if you celebrate when evil people die, so people started using the crab dance meme as an implied form of celebration.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Idk but the comments on this are pretty amusing - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cE0wfjsybIQ

What does the fox say?

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 25 points 17 hours ago

What a pleasant surprise!

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 8 points 13 hours ago

So this post is how I found out this happened for real.
CNN article makes it sound like someone called 911 for chest pains around 8:30p last night. The person calling was driving to Graham's house and thought the door would be unlocked. It was not. EMTs arrived and did chest compressions
