    I really thought this would say: therefore, she's stepping down.

    But I don't know why I would expect any sense from libs. They all want to die in office.

      Their arrogance knows no limits. Some of them even have enough chutzpah to think that they get to decide how their health is and when they die and not the grim reaper.

      I'll leave this here. I either missed (or entirely forgot) her May 2020 comment plus she died only four fucking months later. Classic lib delusion.

      Ruth Bader Ginsburg

      In 1999, Ginsburg was diagnosed with colon cancer, the first of her five bouts with cancer. [...] By May 2020, Ginsburg was once again receiving treatment for a recurrence of cancer. She reiterated her position that she "would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam", adding that she remained fully able to do so. [...] Ginsburg died from complications of pancreatic cancer on September 18, 2020, at age 87.

        Just ridiculous. Multiple rounds of cancer aside, which is rightfully alarming, she was fucking 87. 87! Anyone is at Death's door at that age.

        My most beloved grandmother was extremely healthy and in good condition when she was 87, we expected her to at least get to her 90's given how healthy she was, and then suddenly and unexpectedly developed something and died within a few months. Luckily she wasn't head of the Judicial system in the imperial core when this happened, but she was old and that is just part of life. My grandma never had cancer or anything serious, fortunately, but to be that old and literally have multiple bouts of cancer and to know the political and legal ramifications of your potential death and just deny reality like that? It's unbelievable that libs still defend her. Similar issues with Feinstein and now Biden. If this were a Greek tragedy, their arrogance would seal their doom.

          Pelosi will be 84 next month and she's running for reelection. Will she become Feinstein 2.0? The dems simply do not give a fuck.

        there is an endless diarrhea stream of articles like this spewing out.

        it's only going to ramp up in both intensity and frequency and i want to crawl down into a deep limestone cave and live like gollum until after November

        but then i might miss something funny happening and i reconsider
