His denial of climate change evidenced by his holding of a snowball on the congressional floor in winter was the moment I realized that memes are now more important than facts.

That was him? Rest in piss
Suprisingly he was the only Republican to take long covid seriously. Because he got it.
“It only matters when it affects me” is the republican mantra I guess.
Always has been.
Time to go throw a snowball on his grave and laugh
I think some Weekend at Bernies style shenanigans are definitely called for
Fuck this guy. Left the world worst before dying.
That snowball you brought to the Senate floor won’t help you now that you’re in hell Jim.

Ah Senator Snowball dies on the hottest July 4th weekend ever. Coincidence?
Hottest so far.
Good riddance
Step 1: vote against COVID vaccine distribution funding
Step 2: get COVID
Step 3: retire due to long COVID
Step 4: die from long COVID
Aww, he should've live longer and suffer the consequences of his climate denial with us :(
He lived a long and happy life selling our country to giant corporations.
RIP bozo
And by that I mean rest in piss
He actively made the world worse.
I remember him for blocking aid to Hurricane Sandy victims. When I suggested someone reciprocate and block aid to tornado victims in Oklahoma on reddit, I got down voted to hell.
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd shit on Imhofe's grave.
Oklahoma man honored to finally be metabolized into various greenhouse gases
Good, fuck off
rest in piss, asshole
Good riddance.
I often wonder when a conservative asshole dies after a lifetime of doing conservative asshole things, does anyone really miss them? Like I imagine his family does not care much for him. Nothing will be named after him, I can't imagine what, being as anti science and education as can be.
He was a terrible person and I'm glad he's dead..
Pieces of shit like this make me wish hell was real.
You're a traitor to country and all of humanity; the world became a slightly better place when you died. I hope your final moments were as agonizing as the policies you supported.
Good riddance.
And nothing of value was lost!
Hope they built him a tomb big enough to take all his bribes with him for fucking up our future
It's really sad to think that the highlight of this guy's career was that he DIDN'T choose to commit treason. He was one of the very few Republican senators to actually certify the election results in 2020.

Some obituaries make for pleasurable reading material

Great news. Fuck that guy all the way to hell.
Anyone got an in with a ski resort? I'm thinking we use one of their snow generators and a bunch of coolers and make lots of snowballs and head over to his grave and start pitching them.
Plenty of climate change where he will now be burning 🔥 for an eternity
I don't suppose it's at all likely that y'all might replace him with a Democrat?
He's a former senator; stepped down in 2023. Has already been replaced by MarkWayne Mullin.
With a name like Markwayne, it's painfully obvious this person is a Republican
He's the guy that challenged Union Rep Sean O'Brien to a fistfight during a senate hearing. Doesn't get much more Markwayne than that.
I'm pretty sure O'Brian called him "Clownshoes".
It's a Boston thing, and Markwayne 100% deserves to be called that.
I'm still sad that Markwayne didn't get his fascist fucking teeth knocked out on the senate floor

I originally had just "MarkWayne" but edited to add his surname lest he be confused with MarkWayne van der Snoot-Smythe (probably also a republican).

at 88, or how they call it in the senate: early retirement
let's hope this is the beginning of a trend. like when all our favorite celebrities started dying. but this time it's fun.
You shouldn't say anything about the dead unless it's good. So, he's dead. Good.
I can only hope Death hasn't left D.C. yet, but is just sharpening his scythe. In particular, there are a couple presidential candidates who are rotting on the vine.

I wonder if he was able to take it all with him?
Hell yeah!
