That is the problem with the impending disaster. All the people who could do something about it wont be here when it arrives. Its not like they care about their children. I've discovered to care about your childrens fate is a rare thing in people 60 and above. Most of them had it too easy. Being born and raised in a golden age.
let's hope this is the beginning of a trend. like when all our favorite celebrities started dying. but this time it's fun.
Good riddance
Who that?
Absolute piece of shit. The world is better off without him.
the senator with the snowball, did you really never see that
As an Oklahoman that loves his state. Rest in piss fuck face
And nothing of value was lost!
Hell yeah!
If they gave his corpse an enema, they could bury him in a matchbox.
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..
You shouldn't say anything about the dead unless it's good. So, he's dead. Good.
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
You had me at "Republican dies" ♥
Womp Womp
He lived a long and happy life selling our country to giant corporations.
Oh no....anyway
Good riddance.
Good
Fuck that asshole.
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.
That snowball you brought to the Senate floor won’t help you now that you’re in hell Jim.
I expected a snowball joke,but you nailed it. Bravo.
Working in his late 80s....
That is some horrible elder abuse if I have ever seen it.
He retired a couple years ago and was replaced by Mark-wayne "I don't want reality" Mullin.
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.
How does voting work when this happens? Like, let's say R's control the Senate 51-50, but this guy suddenly dies. Is the Senate now split on votes?
There is no such thing as controlling the Senate 51-50. There are 100 senators and if there are only 99 voting (e.g. because one of them died), then if there was previously a 50-50 party split, party-line votes will now have 50-49 results, i.e. not a tie, i.e. the Vice President will not be asked to break a tie.
It wouldn’t actually be a 51-50 split. What happens is the senators vote, and if there’s a tie, the Vice President (aka the President of the Senate) is asked to break the deadlock. If it was a 50-50 split, and one of the senators dies, it’s now a 50-49 split, and the VP is no longer asked to break ties.
As OP mentioned, it’s not relevant since he retired, but the seat becomes vacant for a period, meaning one fewer member votes, and results may be affected. There’s generally some mechanism for filling the vacant seat, which can vary on timing (and state law). Generally a replacement can be appointed by the state governor, special elections are held if there is still a substantial term remaining, or the position is held by the appointee if an election is already imminent.
He retired in 2023.
Good.
Ohh good another fucking moron that gets to die off and leave us with the consequences of his actions.
This is the true reality. There is no karma.
Good, fuck off
