1. Good riddance to bad rubbish

[Blue Full Moon]

23. Took the words right out of my mouth.

[SheltieLover]

32. Great minds...

[Trueblue1968]

38. Bye Chucky.

[milestogo]

2. Such a macho man.

[Johnny2X2X]

3. He was a racist POS who hated our democracy

But I guess that's redundant, since the thread title already pointed out he supported Trump.

[House of Roberts]

4. Now they'll have Walker, Asshole Texan marathons all weekend.

At least there's the NCAA basketball, although the only way I can watch it is on CBS.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Before he could go to Iran and win the war?

[themaguffin]

33. i'm sure Sly will go... right? ...right...

[LR3]

6. One less vote.

Good

[newdeal2]

7. Conan used to a have a funny bit

Where he would show random clips of Walker Texas Ranger. It was pretty funny out of context.


Years later I found out he was a Republican asshole.

8. Has the felon ordered flags at half mast?

[lastlib]

11. *-*cough, cough *-*

half-STAFF *-*cough, cough *-*

(Flags only fly at "half mast" on ships; ships have masts. On land flags are flown on a STAFF, ergo, "half-staff.&quot

[Niagara]

35. I believe that was a dig about the "half mast" because that's what TSF says

as stupid as he is.

[lastlib]

37. yeah, good point!

he shouldn't be talking about Newsom having a disability--he has his own issues, namely abject ignorance.

[Niagara]

39. You're talking about President Newsom right?

[lastlib]

43. yeps!

[lastlib]

9. Some people leave the world a better place.....

Others leave the world, making it a better place. Chucky is the latter.

Now if only Ted Shittypants would follow him.......

[Liberal In Texas]

10. My one sort of encounter with him.

In the 90s I took my two sons on a DART rail ride to the West End and to a fancy restaurant there. One of my sons noticed sitting a couple of tables away was Chuck Norris and three other people. My son was beside himself in wanting to get his autograph. (His twin brother couldn't give a crap about Norris) I worked in TV then and met well-known people all the time and the one thing you just didn't do was ask them for autographs.

Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer and my son asked me if I had some paper and a pen. I gave him one of my business cards for the TV station and figured he wouldn't blow my son off it he knew his old man worked in the media.

As it turned out, Norris never looked at the front of the card and was gracious enough to give him his autograph.

I guess I'll text my son and see if he still has it. Maybe it's worth more money (if it is at all) now that Norris is dead.

12. Let the jokes begin:

Chuck Norris actually died years ago, but Death was afraid to tell him.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. WHAT???!!! You mean his MAGIC VITAMINS didn't SAVE HIM?

That’s it. How can I ever believe in $240 a pint magic powders ever again? I’m devastated, I tell you.

[Boo1]

18. Maybe they did

He was 86., better than average.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Not so much for a white man with premium access.

[Boo1]

20. Tell that to Steve Jobs

David Koch, Robert Trump, Dick Cheney...

And considering he probably spent the 70s and 80s raided up like every other action star....

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Yeah, he's another GREAT example of magic plant pills not really working out!

For sure.

[EdmondDantes_]

22. The life expectancy for a white man born in 1940 was 62 years

Even accounting for him being wealthier than average (although I assume not that wealthy given he was never a major box star), getting an extra 24ish years is exceeding his expected life span.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. Yeah. In 1940. This is 2026.

I gotta get out of this whole thread now. I feel like my thermal radiation suit may be in danger of failure. Y’all enjoy yourselves.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

45. Maybe some want to believe

in those $240 a pint magic powders.

[Torchlight]

34. After this, therefore because of this?

[Wednesdays]

41. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc

Last night I drank vodka and water, then rum and water, then whisky and water.

I've got a bad hangover now. I've got to stop drinking so much water.

[BootinUp]

14. Your headline is too informative...

For the mainstream, lol.

[Kaleva]

15. Must have ate that one food he said never to eat

[multigraincracker]

28. Bananas

[Americanme]

16. Who?

[D_Master81]

17. Even Chuck Norris couldn't survive a 2nd Trump term

Sad

[gulliver]

25. Enjoyed his movies

Also, like many, I was into martial arts as a young man. Norris was an icon. Undoubtedly, he is still super popular, even among us Democrats. I consider respecting him to be the classy move.

[Prairie_Seagull]

36. Loved the fight scene in the Colosseum in Rome

from 'Return of the Dragon' w/Bruce Lee. Began training about then.

[gulliver]

46. Yes, it was amazing

Both Bruce and Chuck.

Chuck in Good Guys Wear Black and The Octagon. Just great.

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. Death is undefeated. Good riddance to this piece of shit.

[Orrex]

27. Yeah, well. Fuck him.

[OC375]

29. 80's Action Legend

Growing up in the 70's and 80's wouldn't have been quite the same without some of those classic flicks I loved back then. Another time, for sure.

[multigraincracker]

30. Thanks for this post. Made my day.

My only regret is that he didn’t live long enough to suffer more than he did.

[clevergrrrl]

31. Good. F that guy

And the horse he rode in on. Chuck Norris is F-ing that horse in Hell. F-ing Horse F-er

[Buzz cook]

40. If you thoughy Chuck Norris was cool

He's even cooler now.

[Celerity]

42. He was a RW bellend. Fuck him in life and now death.

[QueerDuck]

44. Good.
