Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

[Absolutego]

I'm gonna fucking laugh at anyone that complains about Republican hypocrisy in pushing through another justice.

After the last five years of the left turning pro-war, pro-violence, turning into victim blamers, demanding people with guns rise up and fight the government for them, and in every other way doing an about-face on every single one of the supposed pillars of their entire belief system just to pwn Drumpf, you're gonna have the fucking audacity to complain about ramming through a justice with the nuclear option you demanded? Really?

I'm more worried the PR war is going to be difficult for Republicans to win and that replacing Ginsburg will un-do the enthusiasm gap Democrats are currently dealing with.

Let me guess?

"While RBG laid dying that faithful Friday evening, Donald Trump rallied, and said horrible things about strong women politicians."

Some BS about Biden's CNN town hall ratings being higher than Trump's rally. Just checked again at the NPR link is at the top now, at least.
The next 8 hours will be glorious.

Anyone hoping the courts will stop the seditious Chinese op that is BLM/Antifa from doing lifelong damage will vote for Trump because we all know who Biden/Harris will pack the courts with.

In the words of Farragut, Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!

I don't see how.

If they replace Ginsburg immediately, the Dems will be utterly defeated and turnout will go to hell.

You all are delusional if you think Cocaine Mitch isn't going to ramrod in his favorite corporate whore. You won't get an overturning of Roe V. Wade or Oberfell V. Hodges, a strengthening of the 1st or 2nd amendment, but you better believe that any attempt at campaign finance reform or any laws that might help the working class is dead in the water. Yeah, the schadenfreude at the winemom cult's misery is fun, but be honest here. This is what the Republican Party is today.

Are you implying that the Democrat party isn't also a party that exists solely to benefit the wealthy?

I think that Trump should have someone at the ready to fill the bench, but respect RGB's wish and wait until after the election to nominate them. If he nominates someone right away, you know the DNC will play for pity points, claim he is disrespecting her dying wish and more people will likely take the bait. Also, if he somehow manages to lose to Biden, he can make his pick as a parting shot to the DNC.

That's my view. Win or lose, nominate someone after Nov. 3rd.

IIRC, there was a woman on the short list of judges Trump had lined up to fill Kennedy's seat and one of them was a very conservative woman. He picked Kavanaugh instead but said it was a very close decision.

I think that woman is going to be the one who replaces RBG and she's one of the younger judges in the running too.

From last week he has got some real winners on that list that will send the left fucking nuts.

Remember that Democrats have been normalizing the notion of packing the court or adding ways to force Justices from office for the last 4 years. They can still spin her being replaced into a pro-turnout issue.

October surprise came early this year, Jesus. 2020, you son of a bitch, keep throwing these surprises at us.

Still more dignified than Dame Pesos.

And here I was just lamenting that it was a slow news day.

Honk Honk!

Here's the thing. The legislature refusing to confirm a nominee is entirely within their power and is the system working as intended. I cheered it under Obama and I'll cheer it under Trump.

But the Democrats changed the rules and now it's time for them to get fucked for it.

 

[PorkLord]

She'll make a fine addition to hell.

 

[SiggyB]

'No. No. No.' is trending on Twitter. It's like these freaks finally realize that everything's falling apart. Now if y'all need me, I need to go see a doctor. Might as well get a pre-emptive check up, 'cause this erection's going to be lasting more than four hours.

 

[X Prime]

The correct move is to nominate and confirm immediately. Immediately.

Never give the left an inch, ever.

 

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

The hysterical mourning is funny to me because the only reason people are this sad about it is because Trump bad.
