I think it's very possible that Bernie might have won. Trump's victory was more anti-establishment than racist or xenophobic. This article by Robert Reich is very insightful: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/10/democrats-working-class-americans-us-election

Again, democracy is complicated. If 80% of people vote to exterminate the other 20% it's democratic but is it right? Ongoing arguments and challenge is as much part of democracy as is voting. The Chartists, the Suffragettes etc all won as a result of agitation not elections. That's why it's important to have something like the US Constitution, which guarantees rights and protects people from abuse by the majority. Unfortunately some parties like the US Left only respect the parts they like.

Donald Trump wins president... Cubs win World Series... Brexit happened... David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali, and Gene Wilder dies... man. 2016 really is unpredictable I think Gene Wilder and Muhammad Ali are misplaced. Neither was a shocker Joey. I'm not saying their deaths were unpredictable, it's just the amount of celebrities that died. And Deathlist only guessed 8 of them No disrespect intended, I just think your sentence works better if you exclude Ali and Wilder. There is an edit function....... Just sayin'.........

Good list with thoughtful comments U95. I do think that Hugh Hefner may be ready soon however.

Something's lost and can't be found, please St. Anthony LOOK AROUND!

And now the kids are selling off their parents shit they don't want. Like priceless paintings and whatnot. SC http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/07/lord-attenboroughs-lifes-collection-of-art-for-sale-for-1m-after/ How do you sell something that's priceless?
-
neither was your birth but we still have to put up with it. Not much of an insult but it's the thought that counts.

Fahkin A you fahk I thought Tom Brokaw died ..... Don't do that to me again. SC Do it to him all you want.

There is a "suggested post" on FB which says that Angelina Jolie has been found dead. I don't see any confirmation anywhere so probably a hoax
-
My take on this page is that it's a place to post possibilities for any death pool in the coming year. It is my favorite thread because I sometimes get a nugget of information I can use.

Who Do You Think Will Be Elected President Of The United States In 2016?
deadsox replied to Joey Russ's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
And he'll have beaten Trump and Clinton and lots of Mormons will be happy (if they're allowed, or am I thinking of the Amish?). Neither Rocky. They can both be happy and enjoy themselves. Intoxicating spirits and modern technology are not synonymous with happiness. -
American Football (And Other Yank 'sports')
deadsox replied to RadGuy's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
So RG, you're an American sports fan and didn't know the Cleveland Indians were a team until this year? Maybe it's a joke? At any rate, as a Red Sox fan, I'm interested in seeing if Theo can break another curse. Go Cubs! -
Which makes the fact Richard Overton hasn't dropped over all year in this his 109th on earth all the more frustrating. I'd kill the bastard myself if it didn't void my points. Hell between he and Emma Moreno I've got 224 years on my team and they look like 2016 miscues.SC Yes SC, two human beings continue to live and deny you points. How can they be so inconsiderate?
-
"Perry is in a position to get good medical care, but he's strapped financially." Which of us doesn't that describe? What a twat. SC I must agree Mr. C. It's like saying "I'm in a position to live like a billionaire, but I'm strapped financially".

Wasn't this thread subtitled "Captive DL Prey" or something? Or is there another prison themed thread?
-
I'll drink to that. I'm having a MBai-Tai. Years ago I came across a man whose name was Phat Phuc. I still chuckle over it.

With the accent on "grave".

Being first with an obit is NEVER boring. In fact it's why we are all here, posting before anyone else FTW. SC I must disagree Mr. Creepy. I'm not at all concerned with "posting before anyone else", only maybe picking up a useful morsel or two about an impending death. I'm sure I'm not alone.

As a player who has thought he would go before, I have to say that this is the genuine article. He'll be gone within a month, probably sooner.

Hate to break it to you, but if you look about 5 posts above you... No worries Joey, I'm not upset/offended/embarrassed.

Wow, I never knew this. I assumed the dog had attacked her viciously. In a 2012 interview, she said she didn't remember the night her dog attacked her as she had taken an overdose of sleeping pills prior and lost consciousness. She awoke in a pool of blood with her dog, Tania, beside her. The dog had attempted to wake her by gnawing at her face. FFS, what happened to licking? Clearly licking didn't work. So it escalated. You or I would probably have tried throwing a bowl of ice cold water over the sleeper, then if that didn't work, call an ambulance or drive them to casualty. Dog couldn't do that. Lassie or Rin Tin Tin would have been able to do that.Todays Dog just doesn't have the wherewithal to do anything like that. Pretty poor show! *insert Zappa's 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' album cover* Good album Mr. Creepy!

Are you suggesting that Bhumibol Adulyadej was an anchor baby????????
