Justice Ginsburg died today

[RocketMan]

This particular freakout doesn't seem that calculated. It just looks like unhinged hero worship.

It's what they do.  And they're good at it.

[Perd Hapley]

The left is throwing anything and everything at Glorious ACB and hoping it sinks her nomination.  They are desperate.

Exactly.  They don't have any legitimate criticisms of The Glorious ACB, so they are flinging everything.  If you see a kitchen sink fly by, you'll know why.

It's what they do.  And they're good at it.

I wasn't talking about an attack on ACB herself. They're freaking out about what her supporters are calling her. That's not the usual "throw everything we have at her" kind of attack. Those are people who really think Ginsberg was someone to whom we all owe proper reverence, and whose name and nickname must be spoken with due adoration. It's nuttiness, in other words.

Angel Eyes - Is that the one in Seattle?

No, this is the one in Seattle:


Interesting that someone put red paint on his left hand.  Implying ol' Vladimir has blood on his hands?

[Perd Hapley]

Like this?

Pretty much.

[Ron]

ACB doesn't have her own thread yet so I figured I'd drop this here.

Apparently the chances of her infecting the President are pretty slim due to her having already had covid earlier this year.

Yes.  It has been the target of vandalism.

The city says they can't remove it because it's on private property which I find highly ironic given Lenin's, and communism in general, stance on  private property and many of the city leaders stance on Confederate and Founding Fathers monuments. Put up a Robert E. Lee statue, or Washington even, on private property in downtown Seattle and I would bet good money the same people would be screaming for it's removal and find a way to do so.

Antifa would mostly peacefully destroy the George Washington statue, and any charges would be peacefully dropped.

Finally, a problem where DetCord is the correct answer.

It is private property.  For now.

That’s exactly what happened to a Confederate veterans monument in the same city, also on private property.

I would argue that any statue of either Lenin or Marx is not private property, kinda by definition.

No, no, no. You don't understand. If it actually belongs to a commie pinko, it's their property and allowed to be defined as their property. Sort of like how they can grab your smartphone out of your hand and smash it on the ground because property doesn't exist, but if you do the same to them, that's their personal property and you'd better reimburse them for it. Plus buy them a kombucha.

Wouldn't that be considered hunting over bait?

Keith Olbermann: People like Amy Coney Barrett ‘must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society’

On what charges?

[kgbsquirrel]

On what charges?

Being a counter-revolutionary and wrongthink.

That is one crappy toilet. We keep flushing and he keeps coming back up.

[Pb]

On what charges?

Christianity.

[Ron]

On what charges?

Resisting the glorious revolution.

[Perd Hapley]

Resisting the glorious revolution.

Don't know if I'd make that parallel. Pelosi and Harris ain't no William and Mary.


Olbermann's "LOCK HER UP!" line is only a sample of the insanity in that clip. I didn't think the Chinese would succeed in their attempt to convince people that the U.S. was to blame for the Wuhan virus, but the Democrats obviously think the lie has legs. 

Anyone else notice that he put Kyle Rittenhouse and ACB in the same breath, as if they were related in some way?

Man, the gaslighting on this court seat is getting ridiculous. There seems to have been a secret memo released to all the dems to call filling the seat "court packing". I guess to veer away from the actual court packing they want to do if Biden (Harris) gets in. Sadly, too many voters will fall for it.
