Congrats to DUer, Sarge43, the latest winner of the Trump Admin Official Career Death Pool

I just looked at the link you provided to the older thread and the person who responded first, with the DU name "Ilsa" chose Mattis on January 31, 2019, which is earlier than Sarge's predicted date.

Am I missing something?

I missed the effective date. Sorry about that.

I'll make a guess for the next administration "victim" in the previous thread.
