They’re dead now you know, you beast.
One list per ghoul poster is my opinion.
Place an ad in the regular death pool and in all the categories. We gotta get more publicity. Tell them about the wonderful prizes, the acclaim and notoriety they will earn, the ability to vanquish or offer extended life to favorite/hated groups.
Curt Simmons died today.
He played for the Cards in the 60s. But he was not on my list.
I have a former Cardinal on my list, but not because he was a baseball player.
Mike Torrez was born in my city, Topeka Kansas. I learned about him because the lady who cut my hair as a child was his aunt, and had pictures of him in her salon.

Good luck, Rebo, we’re rooting for you.
Rare to see a list where I probably like Mitch McConnell the most, but there it is.
Hey, no fair copying me before I post!
Destroyers of Democracy
My sixth try with this list. In 2018, no one died, dammit. I scored my first points (in this thread) in 2019 with David Koch’s welcome death, but struck out again in 2020. In 2021 I scored big points (30!) with Limbaugh. So far, zilch for 2022, dammit.
We start, of course, with the true leader of the Republican party.
Vladimir Putin
Donald Trump
Mitch McConnell
Marjorie Taylor Greene
John Eastman
Charles Koch
Clarence Thomas
Ginni Thomas
Brett Kavanaugh
Amy Coney Barrett
Tucker Carlson
Sean Hannity
Rupert Murdoch
Alternates:

Kevin McCarthy
John Eastman is the Trump lawyer who came up with the plan to overturn the 2020 election.
This is a great list! Except for Cher. She’ll be here 10 more years and still look younger than everyone 1/2 her age.

I was going to go with the same theme, having misjudged it last year when I went with the defenders of Ukraine as my theme. Back to the old drawing board for a new theme 
.
ETA. I suspect that you’ll do quite well with that list. Best of luck.
