Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread

Like me, you get someone else to do your posts

xpost Well TBF he also posthumously tweeted his own death notification so his clarity is truly off the charts.

first reply to that tweet, posted pre-death

Whoever is tweeting from this account should be careful. If Herman doesn’t make it, you are going to be the thoughtless a-hole trying to hype a dead man. If he does make it, he may have had a change of heart after going through all this & you are doing it without his permission.

I’m 100% unsurprised that, as far as I can tell, the first high-profile Trump supporter to die from this is Black

he's definitely Black

The world is poorer

I posted the following message on my Facebook page regarding Cain's death: "Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of their own actions. Still, it managed to kill one of the less carcinogenic Republicans so it's definitely not yet time to throw a party. Let's hold off on that until one of the more odious ones dies." AND A TOTAL KAREN HAD THE AUDACITY TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT POST! She was all, "I think you need to seek therapy if you think it's ok to celebrate anyone's death." Bitch, please, when Trump dies I am going to party until I cannot party anymore.

never forget that glorious stretch of october 2011 when about 30% of GOP primary voters agreed that herman cain would be a good choice for president

not just a good choice - the very best choice

Man, the floodgates will open when Trump kicks the can. There will be some solemn lip service on the news or whatever, but I predict people will spill out onto the streets like it's V-Day.

And then they'll start looting, lighting things on fire and knocking shit over again, but still.

Cain's candidacy was a cartoon--9-9-9 repeated on auto-pilot--but just by virtue of running for the nomination and actually having lead at one point (the whole Gingrich train-wreck), it seems like a significant death. He seemed affable enough...but I'm just now remembering why his candidacy crumbled.

arguably he (along with Palin and some others) helped set the stage for trump just by helping make the whole thing even more of a weirdo circus than yr standard GOP contest

His contempt for everyone around him is what struck me at the time.

(xpost) Totally; the whole 2012 Republican debacle was a practice run for Trump. (I'll mention this yet again: I argued on here at the time that Gingrich was a lot closer to winning that nomination than anybody thought, but others said no, the party and fundraising always controls these things in the end. For 2012, technically correct; four years later, not at all.)

if you are an influential public figure and you use your platform to be dismissive of the risk of covid you are signing a contract that it's ok for people to laugh at you if you die of covid. it's not very tasteful but that's just one of the many reasons not to sign the contract

Looking forward to it so I can come on to ILX and troll people like Mordy did when Thatcher died.

a virus knows no morals

otherwise Gohmert will already be dead

Trump not even good at losing.

True. And speaking of shitty Texan fascists, I would really love for the virus to fell Chip Roy and Ken Paxton.

...and Dan Patrick and Abbott and Crenshaw and...

Hey let's not forget Cornyn and Cruz while we're building our death pool.

Death is NOT to be celebrated. There are only about....idk, 10,000 exceptions worldwide. (Lots of strong suggestions so far)

Death is NOT to be celebrated.

I have a colleague at work who simply can't process for example that I am 100% against the death penalty in all cases, but was happy when Thatcher died

Have you explicitly told them that death and killing are not the same thing?

the Lord said that wishing someone is dead is the same as murder so

xps was hoping that was the song from the Evangelion movie, disappointed

xps ha no, can't be bothered

oh no

Reading between the lines here but it looks like neither is infected and/or fallen due to Covid-19 but that different health issues coupled with lockdown means they are unable to financially support themselves.

How's Louis Gohmert doing?

Laying low.

his head is in Texas, the rest of his body is hiding out in North Dakota

Claimed he was cured with Hydroxychloroquine.
