Love that this is how I found out

Same here. I will read his obituary with great joy (to butcher the famous quote).

Me too, didn't expect it either. Was secretly hoping that maybe he would somehow redeem himself, but looks like he rather died being trump's lap dog.

Also McConnell is dead, they just don't want a special election

There was a brief moment on January 6th where it looked like Lindsey would grow a pair of balls and standup to Trump.

Unfortunately he backtracked and resorted to gobbling Trump's balls as soon as it was apparent he wouldn't lose power. At least he died doing what he loved; being an absolute power bottom in all aspects of life.

McConnell doesn't have a sister they can replace him with?

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · 12 pts · 73d

I find out about people who've died by this, more than probably any other way.

There seems to be a trend of three with these things. Graham, McConnell, and... I'm sure there's a bookmaker somewhere that is taking action in who the final name is. I know I have my list of hopefuls

Susan collins. That would just be so funny after the platner debocke

Reactions in Iran were less effusive, where Graham was viewed as a leading exponent of militarism against the country. Mohammad Marandi said, "It's a shame. I wanted him to see oil prices on Monday before he went to hell."[374]

It feels a bit like winning £25 on the lottery: not what I'd hoped for, but I'll certainty take it.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 73d

25? please add a couple zeros. it ain't a jackpot, but it's a nice prize.

Lady bug Lindsay died the way he lived - like a closeted piece of shit.

Oh come on. This is ridiculous.

We all know he already got McConnell.

arrow74@lemmy.zip · 25 pts · 73d (2 replies)

At this point I think McConnell is still alive in some capacity. My guess is he either suffered massive brain damage and is unable to do the job any longer or he is indeed brain dead and is being kept alive on life support.

I'm more than happy to be wrong about this

Beangut@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 73d

I just hope he's in pain if he's still alive

Here's a video. Compare his condition to the (lack of) urgency from the first responders.

Dude is fucking dead.

Photonic@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 73d (5 replies)

McConnell has been dead for a good ten years now. It’s been just his rotting corpse and animatronics ever since

I fear we're going to have an attempt at AI Trump to keep the cult going.

They will try. I hope it fails to keep the MAGAs satisfied.

Photonic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 73d

Well it couldn’t be much worse than the real thing.

Actually, maybe he already is…

always has been

I talked to an AI thats trained to sound like McConnel for 20 minutes on the phone yesterday. He must be alive

popekingjoe@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 73d

Oh well that settles it. He's obviously just fine.

If you no one celebrates your death you've lived too compromised a life. If your death inspires a shitpost meme you really fucked up.

Bad things come in threes.

So you’re probably right about it being two.

Death comes by the dozens

ETA: About the time that Alan Rickman and David Bowie died within a week of each other (at 69 from cancer), I wrote a blogpiece about the Death Comes In Threes myth. Mostly, it's that we humans think of things in threes.
