Discussion: Ruth Bader Ginsburg 'Can't Imagine' A Donald Trump Presidency

…New Zealand?

Yeah, let’s see Donald Trump with his Raisinette balls fuck with the Notorious RBG. Go ahead, Donald. Open your big fucking trap. Game on!

Hey, after watching all of those “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” movies, that’s where I’d go. And it’s about as far away from Trump as you can get without nesting with a pack of penguins in Antarctica.

She is lamenting the American people’s devolution to even consider a man like Trump for any elected office. She is lamenting the influence of FOX and Talk Radio
She is lamenting the hack-job Newt Gingrich achieved when he altered Congress for the worse
She is lamenting the Reagan Revolution

And, for me, she is lamenting the truism of these words:

–“Evil Triumphs When Good People Do Nothing”–

Post Script:

I was shown a video of teenagers speaking very intelligently and forthrightly about the menace of Trump. But half of me was asking: “HOW MANY OF THESE KIDS WILL VOTE?”

A woman. With the last name “Ginsburg”. Criticizing Trump.

The fact that the hundreds of images of RBG photoshopped into pictures of concentration camps is a no longer surprising response by Trump supporters is bigly sad.

I have great hope. My 24 and 21 year old have voted in every election since they COULD…all referendums, primaries, etc. They are on social media discussing issues and arguing and dissecting actual POLICY. I am one proud parent.

everything is up for grabs

Like everything hasn’t been???
No, but seriously, Trump will stand on wreckage with a bullhorn just like another great questionably elected leader except Trump will build that wreckage into a youge pile.

He has no chance of becoming President.

Let’s put this in perspective.

Swamp Gas in a Suit (by Elton Dave)

Goodbye Mr. Trump
Though I never knew ye at all
You had the grift of bankruptcies
To cushion your pratfalls.
TV personality/tycoon
And a one-track brain
A potted teamster’s harangue,
Taking John Miller as your name.

And it seems to me you skunked it up
As swamp gas in a suit.
Awaiting just a spark
For your essence to be goosed.
I’m glad to have not known you:
Caldera of foul wind.
Whence, ignis flatulus
And nukes chillin’.

I am quite happy with your post. And we NEED more parents like you. But we are in grave danger. The MSM has apparently decided to stay with the HorseRace. This means that they are shooting to consolidate Trump’s loonies and additionally looking at making the whole contest “more even” and “more watchable (consumable)”**

I am going to be blunt:

If those under 40 voted with the maniacal precision, commitment, determination, discipline and sense of alarm that geriatrics do, McConnell would have been campaigning in his last election with JayZ as a surrogate.

It is Age Related Behaviour. And specific to this time period. In WWII, there were suicides when men were deemed 4-F for Military Service…so we know that young people are not always lax. One cannot be lax streaming out of a Landing Craft at Omaha Beach.

My own kids are exemplary in voting and political participation as well…but the only sets of data I want to see involve BULK voting participation rates for these kids which EQUAL or SURPASS those of Granny and Gramps

** which is precisely the same as NASA reducing by 50% their capability of stopping a meteor due to strike earth on November 2016 so as to make the whole spectacle “more exciting”

It will be like the " Reagan" years; they’re both actors. The one big difference would be that Reagan was told what to do by the rich that bought him and the other will just make it up as he goes along.

From HuffPo…to-day…

[“Many Republicans also worry that Trump’s disorganized campaign and high disapproval ratings make a victory all but impossible, but others have an even more fundamental concern. ‘There’s even a greater fear,’ one Republican National Committee member said. ‘What if he really gets elected? Now what do we do?’

Other Republicans are less shy about that possibility. It would be a catastrophe, they say, and it cannot be allowed to happen.

‘Whatever Hillary Clinton’s faults, she’s not ignorant or hateful or a nut,’ wrote Mark Salter, who was a senior strategist to Arizona Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. ‘She acts like an adult, and understands the responsibilities of an American president.’ "]

The above is a stark example of INSTITUTIONAL INSANITY versus personal sanity. In the passage above, rational human beings are accurately judging that a Trump Presidency would be an unmitigated disaster.

THAT’S personal sanity.

Individual Insanity? The dictates of the organization signing one’s paycheck make one do the unthinkable Try the MSM obligation to portray Trump with as much of a kid-glove treatment as humanly possible. The False Equivalence. The “equating” Hill’s email mistakes with Trump profound temperamental inadequacies for the elected position of President of the United States. The foundation of the institutional insanity goes to the money angle:

The HorseRace will garner more income…and being a top-notch journalist means nothing if the man signing one’s checks says, “Do it THIS way.”

Institutional insanity is not confined, of course, to the MSM. Ask the fossil fuel boys (in the face of the drastic threat of Climate Change to the human race)…“Er…um…uh…it will be years and years and years before such a thing as a _________________** powered car will be a reality”

** anything but fossil fuels

Yes…and it is up to their generation to motivate others to vote. I do notice (at least in my neck of the woods) that there is more and more ‘nudging’ of GETTING OUT THERE going on. Of course, I live by a major university and the students are being held down by tuition costs and the burgeoning rents that go along with jobs…they are mad as hell and have realized VOTING is the only way to change things.
