I would relish the opportunity to watch him crush his enemies, drive them before him and hear the laminations of their women.
I am going to guess that the movie will be as well received as liberal talk radio.

We don't hear anymore about the Klinton Magical Mystery Tour, I guess the wheels fell off that bus. These people are all legends in their own minds.

Ginsburg missing Supreme Court arguments for 1st time

https://www.apnews.com/b1d7eb8384ef44099d63fde057c4172c

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is missing arguments for the first time in more than 25 years as she recuperates from cancer surgery last month, the Supreme Court said.

Ginsburg was not on the bench as the court met Monday to hear arguments. It was not clear when she would return to the court, which will hear more cases on Tuesday and Wednesday, and again next week......"

I guess she can just work from home - which again raises the question of "Is she still alive?"

I'd recommend that folks do an inventory of their disaster preparedness kits.
Based on the fact that the last SCOTUS nominee was named in early July, and didn't get a vote until early October because of unsubstantiated accusations and outright lies - I would recommend at least 90 days worth of supplies.

If President Trump ends up nominating a replacement for Darth Bader in the middle of her biopic being splashed across the big screen, there will be riots that make Baltimore and St Louis look like payday activities. The meltdown will make Fukushima look like a birthday candle. The left will tremble like a dog shitting peach seeds. RBG getting replaced by a conservative will make a laundry list of metaphors look like an oddly imagined laundry list of metaphors soaked in a tub of hyperbole.

Stock up folks - if something happens to RBG there will be hell to pay.

Let the bad metaphors and movie lines start here:
From what I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.N.C.E has gathered, it would be 9/11 times 100.

9/11 times a hundred? Jesus, that's...

Yes, 91,100.

Basically, all the worst parts of the bible

Is that a warning for the entire nation or more for the coastal regions and BiG Cities?

Heh. If they thought Gov. Moonbeam was cool, wait till they get a load of Newsom. He's going to try to emulate Sweden and at the end of that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride they could have Venezuela.

I'll leave it to Flounder who's far more eloquent:

I'd be careful what you wish for. California's economy is large enough that Governor Newsom's machinations could very easily cause serious financial harm to the rest of our economy. I have no desire to see a great recession or a depression because the nitwits in one state think they can build a workers paradise. It's a fools errand IMHO.

I'm not wishing for any such thing. But having been on the planet for a few days I've also observed the law of unintended consequences. Do you think Newsom regards himself as a fool, or a believer that he's one of those 'smartest guys in the room'?

The meme you posted implied that you were looking forward to watching Newsom's lunacy. There is no doubt in my mind that Newsom thinks he's the smartest man in the room and that's what makes him especially dangerous.

Or one city
