Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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

Let's hope these old republican assholes all start dying off quick.
You can throw your rock, and hide your hand Working in the dark against your fellow man But sure as God made black and white What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down
oh thank god. Fuck that guy.
I still can't believe he never found a wife. Amazing for someone 71 years old.
Worst kept secret ever

Enjoy hell you insufferable prick.
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.
Dude what let's fucking go! 🔥🔥🔥
Good riddance, hopefully McConnell is already dead.
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.

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.

From the looks of that photo, even he's saying, "Hooray!"
I can only wish for the trend to continue.
Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people.
