California GOP Congressman Doug LaMalfa Dies Suddenly at 65

https://news.bgov.com/bloomberg-government-news/house-republican-lamalfa-dies-suddenly-after-13-years-in-house

A racist, anti-choice, election truther, climate science denialist, Russia stooge, and Trump stan? His family have my sympathies for their loss, but it's hard to imagine that politics in general isn't better off without him.

The greatest gift any Republican can give the world is their death.

What about turtle ice cream? It has chocolate and caramel.

Just like CK or Dick Cheney, my sympathy had already been reserved for other countless victims of conservative ignorance and greed.

To celebrate or not; one certainly is not obligated to mourn.

I heard he was known for doing what he was told to do.

Looks like Karma is back from vacation.

I mean it'll be nice for it to work a little faster.

There's a lot of folks who seem to be getting a free pass on evil acts without any repercussions.

VitoRobles@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 245d

Just saw the news: oh my. Look like Karma is coming in.

Wonder if the pizzagate dumbasses are gonna blame this on Hillary and her pillow, too?

NorCal will just elect another like him. A shitload of boomer retirees moved to NorCal over the last decade +. The Sacramento/Northern California people made Rush Limbaugh popular, so I don’t think we’re going to see much of a change.

just some weird (or maybe fun) horoscope stuff

this doug(dead), jake paul(knackered jaws) and stephen miller(still alive) are born on year the of the OX.

Ox on this year has been predicted to have a messed up health for the month of january and november.

...there's still 24 days left before january ends.

How are us monkeys doing?

RelativeArea1@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 245d

mods, this is offtopic but i hope you dont mind

these are just general reading for monkeys

health is kinda good for the rest of the year, but there are some small dips around feb to march and on aug to sept

career and wealth is all over the place, major dips around jan, march, june and nov

relationships is also a bit concerning, major dips on feb to apr and sept.

Don't tell me that... I just made bad financial decisions...

Cries in year of the Ox

RelativeArea1@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 245d

well, it seems like...that might reflect at around apr to july and nov, nov will be the most concerning one for oxes.

And nothing of value was lost but we all know that this crap human Republican will be replaced by the next crap human Republican.

How many more do we need to win....er...not die off in the gas chambers?

Sunflier@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 246d

4 more on top of the 2 current vacancies.

helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 246d (3 replies)

Wait, given that this is the day after MTG's retirement, does that mean that the house just flipped?

jordanlund@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 246d (2 replies)

No. Was 220-213 with 2 vacancies.

MTG left - 219-213.

This guy dies - 218-213.

Even if the vacancies get filled with Democrats that's still 218-215.

So 4 more seats need to change to flip it. 2 Republicans + 2 vacancies.

helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 246d

Thanks. I thought it was closer than that. :(
