Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

[frozenrunner]

This keeps getting posted and I am okay with that.

I keep saying it, but "social justice" and all its excesses are so obviously feminine in nature and origin. Freaking out and being overly emotional and expecting to get attention and to get your way because of it... is that (dysfunctional and immature) male or female behavior? Generally speaking.

The Twitter salt I'm seeing so far comes in two flavors: "hopeless despair" and "impotent rage". Can't decide yet which one I like best.

One thing's for certain though: with shit like muh "Roe vs Wade" and "Kavanaugh" trending, there's a bountiful harvest of laughs to be had up until Election Day.

Put a limit on how long someone can serve in the SCJ.

Wouldn't implementing such a limit require a constitutional amendment?

 

[RedState]

Holy fuck the shit storm this is going to cause, Mitch all ready said he intends to replace her as soon as possible

They're freaking out because they've been conditioned to freak out. For whatever reason, the Democrats elevated Ruth to the point of godhood, to a point that is clearly fucking unhealthy and only escaping the denotation of a cult by means of not actually giving it a name. If push ever comes to shove, though, and you isolate someone who praises Ginsberg's life as though she were the second coming of Christ, ask them to explain why.

Without looking at their phones, without consulting a Wikipedia entry, without forcing you to watch some dumb YouTube video from ya' boy Skinnypenis, ask them to explain specifically what she's done to earn this cult-like worship. What were her last three dissents and opinions? What were her landmark decisions? Why is it important that she be on the Supreme Court?

Every bleeding heart that I've ever met worshipped the ground that she walked on, but I've spent the past four years asking all of them why that was, and I never got an answer unless it was "Roe V Wade", but even then they couldn't tell me her opinion, only that she helped pass it. The sad reality of it is that Ruth Bader Ginsberg never meant anything to these people. Ruth wasn't important in the slightest, and her life never mattered to them, only her ability to stay alive.

Ginsberg was a Democrat on the Supreme Court and that's literally the only reason that they cared about her.

Their slavish devotion may seem illogical but it is unfortunately all too real. A major figure of their "tribe", perhaps even religion has died. And her staying alive was seen as an almost atavistic shield against the depredations of the Bad Orange Man. If this modern woke progressivism actually is a Religion, and I think it is, we can absolutely expect them to act on these base emotions in the same way we have seen Muslims react when a prominent cleric got killed for dubious reasons. With fire and fury. What is worse is the negative emotions fueling the rage will be justification unto themselves. Trump won't have to do ANYTHING and they will still lash out. Him simply existing is enough. And if they can't get at him directly, they will go for the closest thing at hand, which will be his supporters. Its not logical, its not thought out, but religious violence never is.

How do you think this effects the election if at all?

Idk bout you guys, but my Catholic education has always told me aborted fetuses don't go to heaven cause they have yet to receive the sacrament of baptism and are instead sent to purgatory. It's why we think abortion is so fucked, cause from the faith's point of view, you just condemned your own unborn child to an eternal void.

Official church teaching has never definitively stated the fate of unbaptized children. However, a lot of speculation from the like of Aquinas and others have stated that limbo is the destination of unbaptized children. Basically a part of Hell that is pretty nice.

That’s the most ironic part. The woman stayed on to preserve her “legacy”, but all her legacy even was to these people had nothing to do with her and only with what she represented. The people out there swearing at her for dying don’t care about her legacy, and many of them wish she had died years ago, now. She burned her own effigy by reaching too far.

And while I don’t have much sympathy for her because of her greed, people should be remembered for who they were, and not for what others wanted them to be, so that at least is somewhat sad.

People freaking out on twitter over the dumbest shit is nothing new - But, with this unique situation, I don't understand all these niggas calling for "CIVIL WAR" and shit. Could you imagine being a kid in like, 2030 and looking back at your parents and seeing these social media posts? Being like "Gee, Mom. You know, you sure acted like an insane bitch over some dude who really did like, nothing, ever."

The West is in a really odd situation where the left controls the media but it can't turn that into popular support and winning votes. So you end up with politicians like Boris and Trump appealing to the people as their champions against the left's cultural hegemony but then doing very little about that hegemony apart from occasionally saying things that are carefully chosen to enrage the left but be accepted by most people. That's enough to make them win elections.

I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating:

The 21st Century media models itself after it's fictional counterpart 21st Century media that they saw depicted in the 80's and 90's works of sci-fi dystopia:

All-powerful, all-controlling, pervasive and able to shape the citizen response to anything, not dealing in fact, but in shaping the narrative that drives society - they control all the TVs and Radios and papers and computer screens, the public will have no option but to accept our version of fact as truth! (and because the media leans left, this is a GOOD thing! Unlike a right-leaning media that would lie to everyone, we're lying, er, just starting a conversation for the benefit of all!)

Except they don't control all the computer screens, and while they DO own all the TV's and radios, and papers? Well, nobody watches or listens to or reads them anymore....

Their plans to own the media apparatus itself from top-to-bottom never entertained the possibility that the masses would discount them as untrustable liars..... they still haven't grasped that total control of the airwaves and press corps means nothing if nobody believes what's coming out the telescreens at the end.... they didn't factor on having a public that not only COULD reject them, but HAS.

She believed like every other elite washington DC swamp creature, that Hillary Clinton would become President. She wanted her time on the bench to be coda'd with her replacement being appointed by a woman. A fitting tribute to her legacy of advocacy for Womens rights. In all of her legal reading though, I guess she never came across some children's stories about the inherent danger of tempting fate. For her trouble, instead of quietly dying with grace surrounded by her family she got to endure two cancer riddled years of suffering and work as she desperately tried to cling to life long enough to get through to a new President and failing just before the finish line. Fate can be cruel to those who in their pride toy with it.

My dude, if people were seriously suggesting unrestricted abortions up to birth (or even just viability) in Europe, it would be a hotly debated issue.

You can abort a pregnancy up to 24 weeks in the UK, and in exceptional cases, it can be as late as 28 weeks. I haven't seen any mainstream opposition to this, despite the fact that there are many premature babies who are born prior to these cutoffs and survive. Like I said, it simply isn't a contentious issue here.

I also reject the implication that the abortion debate in the US has been polarized by pro-choice activists. If you want to understand why the issue has become so divisive in America, look no further than the pro-life camp, who have made it repeatedly clear that they have no intention to make reasonable concessions, do not care about the negative implications of their policy recommendations, and who have effectively weaponized the issue by turning it into a rallying cry for single-issue extremists.

The reason you don't see activists rallying for third trimester abortions across Europe is because a sensible compromise on abortion has already been reached in Europe. The issue is settled, as it should have been in the US after Roe v. Wade.

Another for the "things that never happened" pile.

Cause pregnancy is some terrifying body horror shit that can straight up kill you, and the end product is an extremely expensive, difficult to care for shit goblin a lot of us do not want and are not capable of caring for properly.

Come to the girly boards, you will learn many things.

You’ve been brainwashed to hate your own continuation and will inevitably die forgotten and alone.

I think the UK Gov got a great Damascus moment for the public thanks to the daily press briefings on COVID and the woeful, pathetic performance of the deluded press corps in them. The public could watch the briefing themselves in real time, then boggle in amazement at the media then spinning a narrative, or outright making shit up to the point UK public trust in media remains at hilariously historic lows. People wound up watching only for the publically submitted questions, ones where people asked actual fucking questions instead of the same question endlessly repeated by the plethora of zombies with press badges that used to make up Fleet Street's mob.

I've got a friend who grew up in Eastern Europe during the commie days. I asked him if many people believed the state-run media and he said 'Everyone just assumed if they told you the sky was blue it was probably some other color'. I.e. there was universal skepticism. Which struck me as being a weird situation. And yet, here we are in exactly that situation - you can just assume the public will believe the exact opposite of what the media tells them in both the US and UK. Which explains blue checkmarks, who are much more likely to be journalists, going crazy on Twitter.

How do you think this effects the election if at all?

I think that the Democrats are going to riot and rioting is what murdered their support. Ruth's death does nothing but further cement Trump's re-election chances because nobody who was sitting on the fence is going to suddenly get up and go, "Oh shit the old lady died, time to vote for the comparatively-old Biden."

And that's assuming that Trump and McConnell won't fucking slam an appointment through before the election. If they do that, then... Fuck it, there's no reason for these people to even go and vote. That would absolutely decimate whatever's left of their morale. I know that essentially everyone on that side of the aisle is shrieking about McConnell's hypocrisy, but not only are they ignoring the specifics of his dissension, which was that the appointment should be delayed when the White House and the Senate weren't controlled by the same party, but they're ignoring one very obvious piece of information that anyone with a pulse knows is true:

They'd appoint whoever they wanted if they held the cards right now. Because the Democrats always play fair, you see. They never spy on political campaigns or fill Special Counsels with Clinton supporters or try to destroy the lives of Supreme Court nominees for drinking beer or try impeaching the President for something that Joe Biden did. No, they'd never do that, they're always as straight as an arrow.

If the Democrats controlled the White House and the Senate, we'd already be congratulating Supreme Court Justice Hillary Rodham Clinton.
