Sorry about the worst birthday present ever, JZ.
Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Maybe karma will finally kick in and Clarence Thomas will die.
If our parents weren't still alive, I'd be figuring out what country to move to.
I already felt shitty about the SCOTUS yesterday with all of Gorsuch's rulings. Fucker. I'll never not be bitter about that.
Surprisingly, Kennedy's news just makes me feel ragey and defiant. Nobody's going to save us. We've got to save ourselves.
You know what was a bigger climb? The Civil Rights movement. It's doable. You can fight with all the government apparatus and justice and social order turned against you.
Maybe karma will finally kick in and Clarence Thomas will die.
Not while Trump's in office, please. I don't need a younger asshole in there.
Dems have to use every single tactic possible to keep Trump for replacing Kennedy. I am just sick about this. I don't care if we go 2 years with a short court. Let them tie.
Only 50 votes are needed to replace Kennedy. There's no filibuster. There's nothing Dems can do to stop this on procedure.
Crap
In lighter news - I've had my phone plugged into my charger on my desk all day, but the charger not plugged into anything. SUCH COMPETENCE
I'm having a lot of feelings about Letter from Birmingham Jail and the white moderate this week.
Kennedy's in his 80s. We knew this in 2016 and a bunch of people voted for Jill Stein, wrote in a protest vote for Bernie, or abstained. The Stein margin in MI would have made the difference for Clinton carrying the state, and the vote was darned close elsewhere, too. I can't insist that Kennedy should die in office because we can't get our electoral shit together.
I thought that announcement wasn't going to come until the end of the week!
