Some of you with my RED HOT WAY THE FUCK OUT THERE TAKE on Ginsburg are confusing a few things about my core assumptions. Allow me to clarify.
My assumptions are as follows:
Ginsburg was smart.
Ginsburg was not someone into symbology, symbolism, etc.
Ginsburg was a cranky bitch.
Preserving the judicial legacy and precedent she left behind took priority.
Nobody controlled the Notorious RBG.
I have studied Ginsburg A LOT. I like to think I have a very good read on her. Her writing had a very grounded tone and a heavh gravitas to it that mad it clear she was smarter than me. The Wonder Twins’ writing doesn’t have that effect. Nor do RBG’s recent clerks (Fucking hacks)
My read is that she had 2 requirements for who would nominate her replacement. 1) Be a Democrat, and 2) Not be a socialist moron.
Ginsburg WAS NOT a socialist by the modern Democrat standards. I think she hated Obama’s fuckery. I think she’s have refused to retire had Bernie won
I don’t think Hillary being a woman has anything to do with the decision to not retire under Obama, nor her being the wife of the guy who nominated her to SCOTUS. Hillary was a neolib, not a socialist, and I think THATS what mattered.
Commentators kept talking about how she ‘gambled’ on a Hillary win.
Why?
Why would she gamble when she had cancer, was ancient, and was under Obama and a Dem supermajority?
What explanation requires the least amount of assumptions?
Based on what I know of her, she hated Obama
She hated Trump too of course. No shit statement of the century.
But remember, the events of Friday, there’s only ONE QUESTION i give a fuck about:
Why THAT as her dying wish?
She could have been holding for Biden. Who the fuck knows. By if the dying wish is real, why do it?
She’s smart enough to know the ins and outs of the legal processes, IT WAS HER FUCKING JOB. She knew her ‘dying wish’ would have all the legal weight of a plastic bag, and the Dems couldn’t do fuck all about it.
So why? Why why why?
Because.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Ginsburg was happy going to her eternal sleep confident in the knowledge that she MADE the world burn, and the dumbfucks who ran HER cause and ideology into the fucking dirt were burning right along with it.

Basically, the entire Khashoggi story was hyped up by Turkey claiming that a recording of Khashoggi's murder in the embassy was caught on his apple watch and transmitted to his iphone that his girlfriend waiting outside had. This was accentuated by the MSM hyping up his watch.
Then, of course, I and several other people pointed out that Turkey's networks weren't compatible with the model of apple watch. Literally, it couldn't connect to Turkish cell networks. Suddenly, it became, "Oh, experts are skeptical, but we still totally know the Saudis did it."
Most of what I write isn't understood by most of the people who read it.
That's fine. I don't actually like most of the people who read my stuff. They're reactionary in the most reflexive and knee jerk sense, they're stubborn in ignorance, and they're far too trusting.
This isn't for them.
I can't even say who this is for because I don't know who's going to understand what I'm writing, and if they do then it would be unlikely and unwise of them to respond saying they do. That's fine. I think I truly understand where Thomas is coming from now. I'm doing this for me.
I despise you. I cant fucking stand you. You are the reason the McRib is never a permanent part of the McDonalds menu. You are the reason Sechuan sauce has never been brought back. You are appendix cancer. You are HIV personified.
“Here’s a troubling trend about how millennials started killing themselves.”
“LEL I BET IT WAS EMO MUSIC!”
Yes, clearly, there is NO COVARIANCE BETWEEN A GENERATION PRONE TO SUICIDE AND A SUBCULTURE UNIQUE TO THAT GENERATION THAT EPITOMIZED NIHILISM. NO COVARIANCE AT ALL. MHMM.
Every grave of a kid that died from substance abuse or suicide that isnt emo is a giant middle fonger to fucktards like you.
And no. It WASNT social media either you fucking larva brained imbeciles. This trend started two years BEFORE myspace’s heyday.
All the while I have been forgetting the third of my reasons for remaining so faithful a citizen of the Federation, despite all the lascivious inducements from expatriates to follow them beyond the seas, and all the surly suggestions from patriots that I succumb.
It is the reason which grows out of my mediaeval but unashamed taste for the bizarre and indelicate, my congenital weakness for comedy of the grosser varieties. The United States, to my eye, is incomparably the greatest show on earth.
To air a grievance implies it hasn’t already been made known.
The complaints have been spoken, repeatedly. The problem isn’t that they aren’t being spoken. It’s that they aren’t being listened to.
This is not an age of heroes.
This is not an age of legends.
There does not exist a desire to engage in acts of valor and endurance. The concept of true valor and endurance does not exist, it is not conceivable anymore.
There are no secret plans. There are no last minute hopes. There is no superhuman everyman to swoop in and avert disaster.
The damage is already being done. All that can happen is stemming the bleeding.
1) There comes a time where every man has his breaking point.
That day was today for me.
After EVERYTHING, falling off a ladder, my kitty being sick and doing her best impression of a cow on my carpet, assembling a day bed, and NOT FINDING FOUR ROSES ANHWHERE, I turned to this:
2) "What was your breaking point Fudge?"
WELL APPARENTLY WE'RE ALL SO FUCKING HARD IN OUR FUCKING PANTS SIMPING FOR TRUMP THAT WE'RE ARGUING HOW MUCH OF OUR MONEY THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SENDING BACK TO US THAT WE HAVENT SAID DONT TAKE OUR FUCKING MONEY
3) Yeah, no prisoners taken today.
Fuck stimulus payments.
SLASH THE FUCKING TAXES YOU SELF INDULGENT COCK SUCKERS @GOP@TheDemocrats THATS HOW YOU SAVE THE FUCKING ECONOMY.
OH WAIT.
YOU CANT DO THAT.
BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULDNT BE ABLE TO PASS YOUR FOREIGN AID BILL YOU FUCKOS.
