oh fuck, rbg is dead
 

:( :( :(

This is it, game over.

Fuck it. FUCK IT, I don't give a single flying fuck if the following sounds like one of Son of a Bitch Mitch's tactics; enough of taking the high road and getting walked all over. DEMOCRACY TRULY IS AT STAKE. From Demand Progress:

This is truly a frightening moment. GD republican hypocrites.

“If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. I had a life partner who thought my work was as important as his, and I think that made all the difference for me.”

-RBG

RIP, RBG. You were a maverick and an inspiration to all!

As far as the nomination is concerned, it’s payback time for the Kavanaugh atrocity as I see it. Game on.

This is why your country's fucked, when your idea of absolute judicial power is 'nine old people, often picked explicitly politically, who serve until they die'. But whatever, have a circus, punt your deep and fundamental problems further down the road for someone else to deal with.

Well at least you got the red part right.

Quiz: Who said this in 2016?

"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

Lindsey Graham according to what I see on Twitter.

Edit: I never did learn how to do images.

Ooops, I forgot that I'm not supposed to post until that crazy lawyer vacates this place, which he won't.

Carry on.

That was my other guess.

skuj returns......thanks for dropping in!










Odd how none of them have the wisdom to step down before reaching the end......best statement regarding RBG:

“RGB was/is a myth sitting at intersecting vectors of ideology, mass media & merchandising. She's a retweeted Warhol print who has been invested w/power she never had. The idea that the fate of a democracy hangs on an elderly human staying alive as long as possible is apocalyptic.” - J. Farrar

oh I'm not on your side, the sooner Trump fucks off and dies the better. he and all his acolytes. I just feel that he's more of a symptom of a deeply failed political landscape rather than the cause.

if all the acolyte followers died with him, I'd lose my entire immediate family. I mostly wish that Trump would fade away into obscurity

I wasn't thinking voters (many I'd say are just misguided), more everyone who's up in the halls of power with him. Draining the swamp, if you will.

To be fair, my brother's go to solution for everything he disagrees with seems to be "shoot them". So I don't have THAT much to work with.

I hate this year, just everything about it.
RIP RBG. Legend.

The ramifications of this have me all fucked up, too.

If I understand Jewish traditions correctly, a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah is a tzaddik, which is a person of great righteousness. Rosh Hashanah began at sundown Friday evening and ends at sundown tonight.

I heard one radio show mention RBG might have actually died Thursday night or in the wee hours Friday morning. I wasn’t necessarily trying to bestow an ordained death with her passing, but with RBG being Jewish, I thought it could possibly be appropriate???

Rosh Hashanah coincides with the Feast of Trumpets and I’ve always wondered if that played into John Zorn using tzadik as the name for his label?
