BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. – Welp, looks like someone forgot to sacrifice a goat to the FAA gods. North Dakota state rep Liz Conmy, a Fargo Dem, bought the farm in a small plane crash just north of Minneapolis. Turns out gravity is undefeated, even for virtue-signaling politicians.

Sources say the Beech F33A (sounds like a Star Wars droid, doesn't it?) went down shortly after takeoff from Crystal Airport. The authorities – bless their hearts – are saying it “crashed and caught fire.” As if planes just politely burst into flames all the time. More like EXPLODED into a ball of freedom-flavored shrapnel.

The North Dakota Democratic–Nonpartisan League party (try saying that three times fast after a few beers) is predictably weeping and gnashing their teeth. They called Conmy a “champion for public education, the environment and transparency.” Translation: she probably wanted to ban plastic straws and give free college to everyone except white males. But hey, at least she went out in a blaze of glory – literally.

“We are completely heartbroken and gutted by the loss of Representative Liz Conmy. Her death is a profound loss for our state,” the party tweeted. Translation: “Who’s gonna write all our virtue-signaling bills now?”

Inspector Matt Rabe of the Brooklyn Park police said the plane crashed “shortly after taking off.” No duh, Sherlock. Planes usually crash before takeoff, right?

Now, the FAA and NTSB are crawling all over the wreckage, looking for clues. Betcha dollars to donuts they’ll blame it on “pilot error” or “mechanical failure.” Anything to avoid admitting that maybe, just maybe, air travel is inherently risky, especially when you’re buzzing around in a glorified tin can.

Look, nobody wants anyone to die. But let’s be honest, the planet is overpopulated anyway. And if a politician has to go out, what better way than in a fiery plane crash? It’s certainly more entertaining than another boring committee hearing.

So, raise a glass to Liz Conmy. May she rest in…pieces. And may this serve as a cautionary tale to all aspiring politicians: maybe stick to Zoom meetings. At least you won’t end up as flaming wreckage in a Minnesota park. #RIP #PlaneCrash #DemocratDown #GravityWins #MAGA

And for those triggered leftists out there: it's a joke. Relax. Buy a sense of humor.
