Hit head-on. Driver in the other car was also killed. I wonder how many were wearing seatbelts. Sad.

Fine, deleted. Simple numbers game, we’ve been on pins and needles about our very slim majorities, ain’t shedding tears if karma finally hits their side and not the RBGs or heart attacks of candidates and strokes of sitting members this year and broken hips.

Dunno why the fuck we’re supposed to be “better” than the side who didn’t even let RBG get into the ground before masturbating over the chance to kill Roe

I wish the minority leader were capable of announcing her passing without heavy handed propagandizing for a certain religion.

ETA he was just repeating the statement from the deceased’s office and didn’t have the gorm to rephrase it.

That’s too bad. You don’t really wish that on anyone, regardless of party or whatever.

Scary, cuz ya never know when your time is up. :grimacing:

Especially since he is a cynical cypher who believes in nothing.

Thank you, that made me very uncomfortable. I feel in a public statement you leave out the religious views, especially when you’re part of the gov’t.

Because simple decency is inherently good.

I winced at your post, but confess that when I saw the headline in yahoo, what I wanted to know first was her party affiliation. And TPM put it in the headline here because I’m not alone.

That district has been redrawn many times. When I was a child, it was suburban Chicago, and represented by the late Democrat Floyd Fithian. My how times have changed. Her politics were far from his, but as John Donne said, any person’s death diminishes us.

Yeah, look where it got us. Loss in 2000 because decency, no challenge of Russkie stuffing of ballots in 2016 that may have uncovered shit, all that.

Highly overrated.
