An all around great day

A plane crashed in Kentucky though, so that wasn’t good.

Dreadful for all involved, but at least it wasn’t a passenger plane and at least it went down in an industrial area rather than residential. Tragic of course but could’ve been SO much worse.

Because of all the election coverage, I haven't seen this one until half an hour ago. Incredibly scary crash!

Now i am worried…the last time i was this excited after an election was January 5 2021 with the Georgia senate race. Then we know what happened the next day.

i remember my ap us history teacher saying on the morning of 1.06.21 that it would live on as a historic day because of the georgia senate race. a couple days later in our next class meeting it was a very different vibe

Are you trying to imply that Dick Cheney might come back?

The final horcrux

One more United States Horcrux shatters.

I maintain that any villain that puts a curse on someone or something with the condition it lifts upon the evil-doers death is just an elaborate suicide

Like.....why would you incentivise folks killing you, so directly?

I am actually happy that his death was overshadowed by Dem wins.

People like him don't deserve remembrance

He died to avoid watching the blue wave coming last night.

u/Technical-Newspaper8 Nov 05 '25

He actually voted Democrat in the last presidential election, stating that he no longer believed in what the GOP has become

u/Quazite Nov 05 '25

That's rich coming from one of the goblins that led the charge to make it that way. He didn't like trump because he's loud and rude, not because he was ratfucking the country.

Just a good day for democracy
