I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.

Mark Twain

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 34 points 1 month ago

Actually, it wasn't Twain. It was Clarence Darrow who first said something very like it about 10 years after Twain's death.

I feel like Mark Twain elbows Darrow in the afterlife every time it gets misattributed to him

Edit: I feel like it's really important understand when I say this it's the Mark Twain from that tng episode times arrow where they all go in the past and meet Mark Twain and he figures out that they are spacemen

Graham before McConnell? t’s like walking into a deli and coming out with a free slice of cake. I didn’t expect it, but I’m not upset.

Good riddance, hopefully McConnell is already dead.

[-] grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

He is. Or he's a vegetable, which is no different in terms of being able to perform hus duties as a senator. They're playing weekend at Bernie's with him and they'll do the same when ol Grim eventually claims Trump.

Graham was the final sacrifice McConnell needed to ascend to lichdom

Some people make the world a better place with their passing, others make the world a better place with their passing

A brief and sudden illness describes ricin poisoning, I speculate wildly in the knowledge that Graham recently supported a sanctions package against Russia, a nation notorious for silencing dissidents with ricin.

"Sudden illness" are we thinking this was a Mr. Hands type situation?

Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people.
