Can’t wait for the Kamala Harris thread, who has absolutely no health issues at all...

For those wondering, I did have Dr Bruce Reid on my alt obits team. One of the ones I was able to sneak in as a replacement. Won’t be a solo though, as I know of one other team who has him. Maybe a duet or trio if lucky?

I think Biden does have cognitive decline, but when they drug him up before the debates he seems a lot more coherent. Which I have no problem with at all.

Lovely. All these meaningless platitudes is exactly what will convince me to vote for Trump this time...

At best you can call the debate a draw. Trump was definitely better at this debate than last time but so was Biden. Especially on Covid, where Biden gave his strongest response, and Trump did not do a good job at all. Plus, Biden also didn’t back down on the minimum wage increase, which surprised me. Also, him saying he would end oil subsidies is not the gotcha you think it is. Yeah, it’s true Biden kind of tapered off in the end, but by that point I don’t think people would care that much. Trump failed on the COVID part of the debate, and that’s the most important issue for Americans. Not counting out Trump entirely, but you’re mistaken if you think he’s the favorite. He’s definitely an underdog.

Don’t worry, look at his predictions of nuclear war and 20 million dead of COVID by February to get a sense of how good he is at predicting these types of things...

The mail obit was never in doubt

Coal magnate and complete twat Robert E Murray, who’s also a DDP pick is dead at 80

Apparently this poll just came out in Texas:

Should also be noted that in December 2016 it was a big month both in quality and quantity (over 30 deaths iirc), so if this December is similar to 4 years ago...

Mike Pence’s chief of staff has covid:

Might want to label this thread “extra-curricular” so we don’t have this confusion again?

Mail obit for completeness

Seems like the enema has struck again, eh?

Daily Mail covered his initial diagnosis. Would be stunned if they don't follow up on it.

Last year, there was some progress with his cancer treatment which led many dead poolers to not pick him. Of course, that's not the case now (and I also think it'll be rather quick)...

BBC obit

And look at how many minutes ago the post was on both of our posts. Look very carefully...

I didn’t predict somebody was posting that death at the exact same moment as I was now, did I?
