[Ohio Joe]

1. Yup... One less RWNJ

One more problem solved.

[TheBlackAdder]

62. Jesus took him: Life eternal in heaven, but Jesus couldn't just give him another 30 years on earth?

.

Perhaps Jesus needed a new PR person for his reelection campaign.

.

[padah513]

2. Damn, sorry for her loss

The question is will it be enough to finally open her eyes?

[atreides1]

10. Not sorry, don't care!

It won't open her eyes...she's anti-vax!

[lagomorph777]

13. Not sorry - both of them deserve what he got.

Hope it gets her too.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

27. I have no more fux to give.

Republican: "Jesus, when I was dying from COVID, what did you do to help me?"

Jesus: " I sent you the vaccine."

[FoxNewsSucks]

28. No.

You can tell from the wording in her twit that she's still a complete Q-nut believer.

[StopTheNeoCons]

29. Not sorry, glad he died

[Escurumbele]

33. Nope, in her mind he is now in the arms of Jesus, can't get better than that

These people are crazy, I don't think that kind of crazy can be cured.

In their mind, god wanted it that way, it was his time, his destiny...

[cstanleytech]

56. "will it be enough to finally open her eyes?" Will I win the lottery?

Answer: Probably not which is the same answer about her opening her eyes.

[live love laugh]

61. Open her eyes about what? I'm pretty sure he didn't die of Covid.

At least that’s what they will choose to believe.

That way they can’t “lose”.

[Polybius]

70. I agree with you, I feel bad too

I don't gloat when the stupid die from Covid.

[frogmarch]

3. I hope Jesus was vaxxed. nt

[Grins]

45. He wasn't. Died of tetanus. So sad.

[RVN VET71]

48. It's not Jesus, it's Moloch

and he is just feasting on these ignorant, hateful souls.

Yum,yum, another Evangelical Christian!

[Earth-shine]

4. Gotta respect a man who is willing to die for his beliefs.

This guy ain't just empty talk!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. I find it fairly honorable, without sarcasm

Stupid AF, but fairly honorable.

I feel pretty pwned by the whole thing, don't you?

(okay, that last thing was sarcasm )

[Scrivener7]

14. Totally pwned. Meanwhile, I am happy to learn that in NYC, proof of vaccination is required

to eat inside restaurants.

Wooohah! Back to good eats with good friends!

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. DIY Rapturing....

It's like playing Russian Roulette without the bullets.

[Mariana]

41. He wasn't willing at all.

If he was willing to die for his beliefs, his hypocritical ass wouldn't have gone to the hospital in the first place.

[dweller]

5. Arrangements pending ?

Jaysus has a full dance card right now


✌🏻

[MontanaMama]

6. Problem solved indeed!!

Say hi to Jeezuz for us.

[RAB910]

7. I think they need to bring back the Darwin awards

[gratuitous]

15. For the Covid-19 deniers, there's the Cain Awards named for Herman Cain

Cain was a Covid-19 denier who attended the former guy's Tulsa rally, one of the first large-scale gatherings during the summer of 2020. Oh, they were pwning the libs left and right that day! Herman Cain got infected, got hospitalized, and then got dead. And the Cain Awards were born. Covid-19 denier gets sick? Cain Award Nominee. Dies like Steve Walsh? Cain Award Recipient.

There is no actual award that I'm aware of, but the ironic symbolism more than makes up for the lack of hardware.

[RAB910]

19. That would be perfect!

[Kimber432]

25. Reddit Herman Cain Award

Yes, there is an award, albeit one in word only. It is on Reddit. Read and enjoy!

[UTUSN]

9. I don't gloat, just share what Bette DAVIS said:

"Never speak ill of the dead. Only good. Joan CRAWFORD is dead. Good."

[Scrivener7]

11. Wonder how many died after this pair convinced them not to get vaccinated.

[dalton99a]

12. +1

[notKeith]

20. ..assuming a certain level of religious POV..

..so, being welcomed (?) into the arms of his Lord and Savior?
Well, let's take a look at what Jesus said, if you're given to such Bible passages:
Matthew 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Point being, for those who believe this stuff, they have to understand it's a double-edged sword - this same Jesus who forgave harlots, and allowed non-Jews to receive the scraps from the table, also threw out money-changers, and condemned those in power who did NOTHING to help those in need.
So, Mr. Walsh - good fucking luck on the Jesus encounter.

[jaxexpat]

60. These types don't do Matthew or Mark or Luke or John.

They only do Acts, where it goes on about how people talked in tongues on the day of Pentecost.

They:
1. go to the megachurch at 10:00 am every Sunday
2. wave their arms in the air and say hally-loo-yuh a whole lot
3. jabber nonsensically until some of them fall down and wiggle
4. put cash in the plate, never forget to put your cash in the plate, Jayzuss CAN count and multiply by 10%

By lunch time, they're good. Good with Jayzuss and ready for whatever made up line of crap the pastor tells them. How to vote, how to live, who to hate and how to die.

[notKeith]

66. ha - put cash in the plate!

George Carlin said it best: "There's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do, every minute of every day... [he has a] special list of 10 things he does NOT want you to do. And if you do ANY of these 10 things he has a special place - full of fire, and smoke and burning, and torture and anguish where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever til the end of time.. but he loves you! .. he loves you and he NEEDS MONEY... he's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, all wise; somehow - just can't handle money.

[JoanofArgh]

16. She almost sounds like she wanted to get rid of him.

[BannonsLiver]

18. Looks like a significant age difference

Maybe she was ready to trade him in for a newer model.

[ShazzieB]

49. Trophy wife?

[Maru Kitteh]

72. Yeah that was my first thought. She's probably going to have that funeral pretty quick.

Time to party! So many cruises to go on, places to go, men to interview.

[IronLionZion]

21. COVID is the rapture

Conservatives everywhere are "welcomed to Heaven's glory into the arms of Jesus Christ his lord and savior"

[turbinetree]

22. I guess his God works in many mysterious ways...

[hibbing]

23. He posted all kinds of stupid antivax/antimask memes n/t

[Larissa]

38. The virus still decides

Some gourd brains have not yet learned the folly of politicizing a deadly, super contagious pathogen. The virus does not vote nor does it give one twit about anyone's "freedums." By now they should have learned this lesson, but have chosen not to. They are simply too puffed up with self-importance to learn it -- even as they are surrounded every day by the evidence of the devastation. It was God who gave us the gift of the scientists who forged the tools to protect ourselves.

We won't be able to move in front of this virus, until we respect its power.

It's a lot easier to get the vaccine and wear masks then it is to be intubated.

And my favorite Covid-19 quotation comes from Dr. Anthony Fauci himself. "The virus decides."

[BannonsLiver]

53. Sometimes I wonder if the virus actually knows who mocks it publicly.

[question everything]

24. Why not provide details? Party? State? opponent?

[Nevilledog]

30. Seemed rather obvious from his anti-vaccine tweet

[question everything]

39. Not to me. So many names and relationships

But that’s OK. Once upon a time DU used to be a place of information and explanation. Today it is a tribute and adoration of twiting. Whinny Donny would be so proud.

[LanternWaste]

51. You believe Trump would be proud of DU?

That's an odd thing to assert.

[question everything]

69. He started using twits instead of regular press conferences with questions

and answers.

And on DU twits are now used instead of verifiable news sources. I am glad that twits are not allowed - yet - as LBN sources.

[phandancer917]

37. OR....

You could do your research yourself and not sound so whiney.

Sheesh - not that hard - PLUS seemed obvious.

UNLESS you were just trolling based on your Username

[ShazzieB]

63. State is obvious; party easily inferred...

The rest can be easily googled.

"Steve Walsh, press secretary to US Senate candidate, Rep. Vicky Hartzler, and husband of anti-vax MO State Rep. and congressional candidate Sara Walsh, has just died of covid."

He's married to a MO state rep, who is antivax. MO is a very red state, and in the age of covid, antivax=Republican.

10 seconds of googling (more or less) pulled up this: "Vicky Jo Hartzler is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Missouri's 4th congressional district since 2011. A member of the Republican Party..."

Another quick search confirmed that Walsh is also Republican (not that there was any doubt).

I'm not sure whose opponent you're asking about (Hartzler's or Walsh's), but considering the midterms are still a ways off, we'd talking about the GOP primaries at this point, so honestly, who the hell even cares?

[question everything]

71. Started with Hartzler and moved to Walsh

I was asking which party is Hartzler.

I suppose, for sentence structure, the subject it Steve Walsh but inserting Hartzler was confusing to me.

That’s all. Much ado.. etc.

[ToxMarz]

26. These anti mask/vax covid hoax folks dying of covid

will forever be the poster children for schadenfreude. By far the easiest way to explain what it means to someone unfamiliar.

[Vinca]

31. Gee, he didn't even have a chance to make his "I was wrong" CNN video.

[SamKnause]

32. Good.

[nvme]

34. NOW WILL SHE GET VAXED?

No one needs to die from this anymore.
I got a brother who just got diagnosed and is struggling to breathe (he is Vaccinated).

[Nevilledog]

36. In secret, perhaps.

[nuxvomica]

40. Maybe she already was

I'm not saying this particular case was murder-by-COVID but it makes you wonder if any psychopaths out there might get vaxxed, go to a superspreader, then return home to infect their anti-vax spouses, bosses, rivals, whatever. It would be the perfect crime and all it really needs is an established milieu of anti-vax sentiment. Just another reason why the anti-vax crap is so insidious and dangerous.

[SoonerPride]

35. Bye.

Better luck next time.

[kairos12]

42. Good riddance to Chump trash.

[panader0]

43. Wait, it saddens her heart that her husband was welcomed into Heaven's glory

and the arms of Jesus Christ? I don't get religion. When you go to glory it makes you sad? Whatever.....

[Pepsidog]

44. Poetic justice indeed.

[Tanuki]

46. Well, here's a worthy, dignified, and evidently un-ironic response to his demise:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/steve-walsh-rep-sara-walshs-husband-died-thursday-morning/article_cd9a3ec4-00f6-11ec-84c8-27e32bd3b81d.amp.html

..."Gov. Mike Parson held a moment of silence Thursday for the Walshes during his speech at the Governor's Ham Breakfast at the State Fair. "....


🐖

(Sometimes I wish H.L.Mencken was still around to give us his commentary on the events of our day!)

[OverBurn]

47. If I had a dump truck full of fucks, I wouldn't give away a single one to these idiots.

[paleotn]

50. Does Jebus give demerits for stupidity?

[catbyte]

52. Hmmm.

[Ford_Prefect]

54. Not to be rude nor unintentionally cruel, but has anyone kept a score card of how many GQP

"players" have succumbed to COVID? Has anyone tracked the spread from their meetings/ rallies/ conspiracy conclaves? How many voters have they personally directly exposed?

A handy chart showing the players and their claims vs COVID would make quite a display. Something with lots of visibility along the lines of the Doomsday clock or the National Debt Counter is what I had in mind. It would be a handy visual reference for the talking hair-do's on MSM news.

[NewHendoLib]

55. yes, we need the Darwin COVID sqorecard

[progressoid]

57. It seems like a new one every day.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

58. Buh-bye!

T’s ‘n P’s...that is all the F’a I can give here.

[Mysterian]

59. Too bad. So sad.

Another demented, toxic imbecile flies off to lala land.

[Raftergirl]

64. Well that didn't age well.

[RicROC]

65. that cross logo behind them in the photo...

is the logo for the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

[Skittles]

67. I wonder how many people he passed it on to

asshole

[UpInArms]

68. Cool

Of course he did
