Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein. From COVID-19.

Bernie Sanders. His next heart attack will do him in.

Lindsay Lohan. From OD.

At least 10 rappers/hip-hop stars under the age of 30. About 70% from OD and the other 30% shot or stabbed by rivals.

At least two as-of-yet-unknown people close to Hillary Clinton. From suicide, of course.

Oh yeah, and Jeff Epstein did not kill himself.

Brian Dennehy RIP. Never the most likeable character in movies, but great actor and lots of memorable quotes.

Check out his B movie rip off of Rambo First Blood: https:

And if his movie Indio leaves you salivating for more cinematic greatness, not to fret......there’s a PART 2!!!!! Starring Marvelous Marvin fucken Hagler!

To be fair, that was a bit like predicting that Bayern Munich will win the Bundesliga.

A win is a win.

Hopefully what will also die is the idea that an 87 year old with Cancer was the only thing standing between order and chaos in the USA.

Given the assault that a lot of the system has been given lately, I’d say it has stood up not too badly.

I don’t know if it could do it for another 4 years. And I don’t think Biden would be able to take it back to its former resilience either.

John Robb has been writing on this shit for years. Worth reading.

Biden won't do much of anything other than not be Trump.

But considering that we are approaching 220k deaths from COVID-19 now, not being Trump seems really quite brilliant.

However the same shit that made Hillary so un-appealing is going to be set back into place. The thing I worry about is that the Dems are going to do something really dumb, like decide to punish the Rust Belt and rural white working class for daring to vote for Trump in the first place, and that will lead to a "Trump" who is active and smart, rather than Golfing and dim.

That will be frightening.

The USA has a massive capacity for violence, but it is tempered by needing to go to work, poor health, laziness and a poor grasp of Geography among those who would like to go do a massacre somewhere. A non Golfing Trump could be terrifying.

Keith Richards is the easy go to, and quite lame. I mean, he died decades ago, and it's the drugs keeping him zombie.


A real gambler would predict Adelle dying by chocking down a pack of sausages because she's sick of having to deal with all the weight she's lost. She looked better fat, btw.

My hard money is on Sean Connery, Alex Trebek, and any mumble rapper of your choice taking a dirt nap before this fucked up year is over.

Yep, not looking good for Alex.

All the rappers that have been kicking off have been OD-ing. They seem to be going through their "Grunge" phase.

Smart Rappers = Sell drugs then lie about how successful you were selling drugs before you became a rapper. Ideally get shot multiple times by someone using ancient cartidges so you seem superhuman somehow (50 Cent got shot 9 times and walked away from it! failing to mention that the gun that shot him was stored for 3 years inside of a damp lamp post.)
Dumb Rappers = Drink Sizrup, Purple Drank and gobble pills then have your useless relatives fight over your stuff when you OD. (My wife is enjoying the music of a dead idiot who did not copyright his stuff before he croaked. His relatives are trying to track down every stripper who uses his stuff in a pole dancing mix to sue them)

About 20 some years ago I read an interview (one of the many) with Keith Richards and he credited his longevity to always playing guitar in his head. So he was in a state of either thinking about what to play or playing it. The drink and drugs were just something to do while waiting to play. Personally I think it helped being rich and having a bit of luck and perhaps a super-liver. How many hard drinking 80 year old bums do we ever meet? I've met ones my age who look 80 but never an actual 80 year old.
