Saw a joke on Twitter a couple of times this week about being hit in the head with a shovel and spending the next 7 weeks in a coma. Sounds great right about now.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that i I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."
I fucking hate everything right now.

This better make a democratic senator absolutely apoplectic in Congress and threaten McConnell.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The task being making 47 a bigger number than 53 and making it stay that way until January 3? No, I agree they are not up for that task.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Full fucking stop.
If Biden's response to McConnell allowing an appointment to the Supreme Court isn't "We're packing the fucking court when I'm president, Mitch. Get fucked." then he's a piece a shit.
(that I'm still going to vote for)

In all honesty, I don't think the Rs will fill the seat before Election Day. There are too many R senators fighting for seats and will fear a backlash if they push a nomination through.
But after Election Day? There is no leverage over anyone.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I don’t think Ds have any leverage unless they go Preston Brooks on someone like Cruz.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Will taking a public stand make it more likely for Biden and Dem Senate candidates to win?
That is all that fucking matters.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If they’re younger, threats of what they’ll force through in a post McConnell (age 78) world. If they’re dirty, public airing or investigations if the situation makes it possible. If they’re Lindsay Graham or someone like him, exposure of whatever it is that has him lapdog to Trump. In theory, they should be furious about Garland and everything since to do more than grandstand, vote, lose and move on.

Always gotta kowtow to that shitty American who's "on the fence" to vote the other way. At some point you need to fucking stand up for yourself.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Well, yeah. But a Biden threat to fundamentally change the Supreme Court will almost certainly lead to Trump and the GOP replacing not only RBG, but probably Breyer as well.Johnnie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:20 pmI fucking hate that we have to look at this through the prism of "Will it get us more votes if Joe Biden gets angry and calls bullshit?"Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:12 pmWill taking a public stand make it more likely for Biden and Dem Senate candidates to win?

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
To be fair, I think even the current Democratic leadership realizes if the GOP fills the seat before the election or after a Biden win, then the only response is to take the court to 11. I'm not even really worried about that. The harder part is going to be getting to 51 Dem senators this November so they can do it.
There's also this option, though arguably it plays into Trump's hands. Get ready for him to use the nomination fight to provoke widespread protests and wildcat strikes.

Trolling appears to be the only thing that remotely works in shaming Republicans.

Yes, I’ve been calling for dem leadership to turn up the twitter burns for several years now. Add this to Pelosi’s epic clap and I’m now satisfied.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Nothing works in shaming Republicans. They either already have a sense of some things going too far, or they don’t. Even the threat of losing their seats only goes so far.
The only thing that works is keeping Republicans out of positions of power in the first place. Unless the Dem isn’t sufficiently “progressive” of course.
