Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
This , x 1000 , when South Carolina sceeded in 1861, they had troops and cannon and used them to fire on Federal targets.... today, what does ANTIFA have? Nothing.

There's gonna be civil unrest for sure, but not war, the disaffected reeeing far-left has no military muscle or means of compulsion upon standing forces. The only power they have is the ability to riot, granted from officials like "Mayor" Wheeler who acquiesce time and time again before their demands. The first time they hit a concrete "NO" from State or Federal forces, they can do nothing but cry that at least they're martyrs now as they get cuffed, stuffed, or , in a rare handful of cases, bodybagged when they won't go quietly.

If California or Oregon were to say "we secede!" , well, literally WHO'S army is gonna make that stick? Or even try? Nothing will happen except some people will break windows in the street, and the Governor will look like a fool when the Feds roll in to restore order. That declaration won't be worth the 100% recyclable material Starbuck's Napkin it's written on.

The states don't have the backing of command-able militia units anymore, and those they technically DO are not going to die for empty liberal causes. And thanks to blue areas making it impossible to establish industry or even continuity of infrastructure, (to save nature) they can't logistically supply any loyal units they may have once outside help is cut off. (You think blue-collar truckers are gonna drive into active war zones?)

The modern State in the US no longer has independent war-making ability, PARTICUARLY not blue ones that can't keep needles and human shit from piling up in their own streets.
This, there is not going to be anything like the civil war; What I am worried about is I am currently listening to certain people in the federal bureaucracy and the government contractors who prop them up and they are growing increasingly unhinged. A lot of them think they are being cute with fantasies after fantasies of how to "save the republic" from Trump but like the Roman senators they pretend to be like, if their fantasies ever come true, they would do more to end the republic than anything else.

tl;dr: I have never worried about Antifa, I worry about the institutional power, federal power (!) in the bureaucracy, backing them
 
"You can't use your legal power as the fairly-elected majority holder of the Senate to seat a Justice this close to an election, it undermines the people!"

Christ, It's BREXIT all over again with the "People's Vote" nonsense:

People voted for their representatives, but because the representatives didn't do what the broader establishment wanted, that doesn't count as the people's "real" vote on the matter: do it again/wait for a turnover in regime, that way we know it's legit!

Pure dictatorship tactics: You all voted for "A", but you clearly meant "B" because that's what the leadership wanted...
 
Amy Coney Barrett. He's already done the work for her. Sadly, that means the DNC has already done theirs, too.

The other two are complete unknowns. He could use them, which would mess the DNC up, but at the same time, leaves him open to the "we don't have enough time" and "she's a complete unknown" vectors.

They have the votes to replace her. Likely nomination Monday. What's the earliest they can call a vote? Monday evening?

They still gotta hold a committee hearing and then a floor debate. If Mitch rams this through in a cocaine fueled fury (by Senate standards) we could see a vote by Friday. Monday a nomination, Tuesday and Wednesday Committee hearing/vote. Thursday the debate and cloture vote, and Friday the confirmation vote. I don't expect it will be THAT fast though. Probably at least 2 weeks.
 
The video of the young woman freaking out in the car is simultaneously funny and disgusting. In particular, when she says: "RUTH! You just had to make it to 2021!!"

The elderly cancer patient just had to not die for two more years so that I (me me me me me) could get what I want probably maybe. You just had to not die so that I could continue doing nothing and enjoy my life a little bit more while your life comes to an end after serving its purpose (which was to help me).

That's some fucked up shit. It's up there with any of the funny and disgusting hot takes we come up with. The only difference being that these people have wide support in commerce, industry and politics and we're just a bunch of faggots jerking it on Null's webzone.
Damn, man. Some people are sick. I can't believe somebody actually said it. It's funny but at the same time, I worry how self centered some people are.
