While she was a horrible ending, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was even worse. Rbgs lifetime of work was eviscerated because she was too selfish to step aside when her time was due.

These people are the epitome of 'you can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain'.

Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.

Remember when Merritt Garland was supposed to be a Supreme Court justice?

Even if RBG retired under Obama, McConnell would have done the same shit with her replacement.

Now she didn't know that, but it doesn't mean we would have a better court if she had retired sooner.

She could have done it when she was diagnosed with cancer 9 years previously and the Democrats controlled both houses with a supermajority in the Senate and a decade past the standard US retirement age.

Yes, that's what many people said at the time.

The argument with garland was "it was an election year". They tried to make rbg retire well before that so at least that argument would have been different.

You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A terrifying journey into the depths of human depravity. Next stop, the Trashy Zone.

Following these rules will increase your odds of making it out of the trashy zone alive.

  1. Be nice. Rude, aggressive and antagonistic commentors will be made leave.

  2. I don't want a classist definition of trashy being this subs main interpretation of trashyness. Posts depicting decadent displays of wealth are encouraged

  3. The five patron saints of the trashy zone are Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee and Frank from IASIP. Please pay homage to them whenever possible.

  4. No overly dark topics like sa or child abuse. I want a light tone to this place. What consistutes too dark is currently up to moderator discretion.

  5. Once this server hits 5k subs a community discussion post will be created. Ideas to build this community will be shared and discussed.
