Good morning

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I, an octogenarian with cancer, stay on the Supreme Court?

Stop Telling Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Retire: It's counterproductive.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is Irreplaceable: All you liberals trying to push her out, think about that.
Don't Tell Ruth Ginsburg to Retire: This Supreme Court justice will leave the bench when she's ready, regardless of what others think.
(No, I will never stop being mad about this)
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is Irreplaceable: All you liberals trying to push her out, think about that.
  no Amy Coney Barrett replaced her that's how this works

She dissents (to the concept of indigenous sovereignty)

And to strategically retiring at a time that won't give republicans control of the courts for a generation.

RBG wrote a dissent to a supreme court decision that struck down DC's gun control laws. A few days later she had a dinner party with friends, including Antonin Scalia, who wrote that decision. The dinner party is hosted by her friend and long time SCOTUS journalist Nina Totenberg.

Totenberg’s husband, a surgeon who has operated on hundreds of gunshot victims, adorns every guest’s soup bowl with a plastic squirt gun. Everyone laughs and laughs.

I think I am starting to realize why I scroll here. This makes me cringe obviously but I cannot bring it up why around people I know IRL. Some of them are legitimately desperate and defeated women, stuck in a cycle of degrading alienated work in the morning and recuperation at night. They LOVE this shit and cling to what this type of fantasy around RBG represents and it feels mean to attack it in their presence.

But I mean COME ON my sympathy is getting stretched here. It's always so indistinct, nothing but meaningless puff pieces from thieves who have stolen away the rhetoric of women's lib and smeared it over themselves, so that criticizing a woman like RBG, whose ego prevented preventative steps from being taken, becomes criticizing women as a whole.

I hate to shit on anyone for feeling good about representation, but I think it's more important to have solidarity with the women she fucked over
- They don't make the connection sadly, their perception of RBG was that she was like a dark souls boss upholding an oath of eternal vigilance to The Cause. And whenever I'm two sentences into the argument I become a dude lecturing women about their own issues and I feel weird

she "makes her mark" by dissenting to a losing decision?

Liberals love losing. Winning is inconsiderate and rude. Losing is noble and brave.
- Congrats on distilling like 10 seasons of "The West Wing" into a single sentence
- lost causes are far more glamourous than winning. Trotsky for example is the eternal rebel untainted by actually having to deal with the moral complexities and dilemnas of running a country.

Baby RBG looking like she's about to say the

word any minute now.

Being a woman in a position of power doesn't make you immune to sucking

Thanks. I hate it.

I think you have me on this one. My editing skills aren't up to the task of turning the title into "I Died".

I didn't know you were making those! I really enjoyed the Hillary Clinton one with the drones

Why

- Pain

I'm no big-city art/literary critic, but I choose to interpret the smug expression on both RBGs as signifying her adult self's failure to mature beyond her intellectual and emotional outlook as a teenager.

The DreamWorks smirk is so unfitting for RGB.

It's perfectly Democrat. It's glorifying performative nonsense that eats up all the air in the room rom doing anything real
