    Even I am suprised how quickly he did this.  McSally wasted no time, either. Neither of them has a soul, of course. But I  thought they'd have waited until at least tomorrow.
    Right. They might as well be dancing on her grave. Zero compassion. 
    jesus. that POS couldn't wait one day to stick it to the libs? Fuck I'm glad I quit twitter. it would be a conservative hoe-down right now.

    I can't do that.  My current computer is relatively new and the last thing I want is broken knuckles. 

    The far right is probably having a hey day.  But we need to stay strong and turn the tides.  It's the only thing that makes sense.  Grief but not despondency.  Sorrow but not giving in.  We have to stay in this together and not give up.

    Friendly reminder:

    The US is fundamentally a 2 party system. Our checks and balances (used to) lie within the 3 coequal branches of government.

    Nice job protest & 3rd party voters.  Try not to fuck it up again this time around.

    I can only hope I am half the person she was.  Such an incredible person and truly inspirational.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Probably trump will make his pick after the election. Senators  Collins Tillis and Gardner are looking defeat straight in the eyes.

    Plus the potential pick has more value to trump more than the result of the pick. This is a huge political gift to trump he can use to leverage votes of moderates and conservatives. He could always make the pick during the lame duck.

    Right on, KC.  This is the time to honor RGB and remember what she did and what we learned from her.  
    Tonight we mourn, tomorrow we move forward.  No rolling over and quitting.
    Thank you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

    Wow. After reading this I went there to see what was being said. Pretty sad and disgusting what people will say.

    This is crazy sad....I am crazy sad.  Just punch after punch lately.

    What an example. What a woman. 

    Thank you, RBG

    I wish I had  even 1% of her desire; dedication; devotion; knowledge; energy . . . RIP Justice Ginsberg.  I consider myself a good person but this Supreme Court Justice will be not only a legacy of the Court but one remembered by the people of this country.  Let's face it, not many can claim that.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    The same case over and over again. 

    If Biden wins and Dems take the senate, it’s time to pass a law to legally pack the court.

    I don't follow, L.  What does "legally pack the court" mean?

    Like many  of you, no doubt, losing RBG was yet another gut punch yesterday.  I wasn't able to sleep last night, got to far out to sea, tried to fall asleep but got tangled in my-shirt and sheets and felt the sucking undertow of depression that drags one down, down, down.  Where did hope go?  I feel lost.

    Brian,
    I know exactly how you feel, it certainly felt like another gut punch. Hopefully RBG's passing will encourage people to get involved and get out and vote.
