Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe, a conservative firebrand known for his strong support of defense spending and his denial that human activity is responsible for the bulk of climate change, has died. He was 89.
Inhofe, a powerful fixture in Oklahoma politics for over six decades, died Tuesday morning after he had a stroke over the July Fourth holiday, his family said in a statement.
Inhofe, who was elected to a fifth Senate term in 2020, stepped down in early 2023.
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.
That just highlights what a circus the GOP is.
Fuck that asshole.
Good
Oh no…anyway
and you thought American politics never bore good news.
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…
I wonder if he was able to take it all with him?
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.
Time to go throw a snowball on his grave and laugh
I think some Weekend at Bernies style shenanigans are definitely called for
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.
Who that?
Absolute piece of shit. The world is better off without him.
the senator with the snowball, did you really never see that
Good riddance.
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.
Hope they built him a tomb big enough to take all his bribes with him for fucking up our future
Shook his hand once. It already feels cleaner.
Makes room for a non-Republican
You don’t even have to read the article. It says in the post that he stepped down in 2023.
And Oklahoma will never go for a non-Republican.
I grew up there.

Then the title should be “Former Senator”
Either way. Who cares. The only good republicans are…
You shouldn’t say anything about the dead unless it’s good. So, he’s dead. Good.
