Stories of the Week
Story 1:
NBA Players Wear Special Lace Collars To Honor Ruth Bader
Ginsburg
Summary: NBA players are honoring the life of
Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week by wearing pretty lace collars just
like Notorious RBG used to wear
- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg died September 18, 2020, at the age of 87, from
complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer
- She became known as a leftist
icon and dubbed The Notorious RBG by a law student (like the rapper
The Notorious B.I.G.)
- Bill Clinton nominated her to SCOTUS
1993 (Bill was elected with 43% of popular vote in 1992)
- She became known as a liberal wing of
the court and argued for gender equality and women’s “rights”
- Her death is right up on the
election, leftist
celebrities and media
types like Reza Azlan are doubling down on threatening to burn
everything down to the ground if the Republicans “ram” through a
judge
- Romney said
he would not block the vote and would vote based on the merits of
the nominee, and that Trump as President can constitutionally
nominate and the Senate can give advice and consent. This comes
amid calls of hypocrisy since in 2016 the Republican led Senate
blocked a vote on Merrick Garland nominated by Barack Obama.
- Trump has promised to nominate a
woman. Because that’s important for some reason.
- Lefty types on Twitter seem to think
this article was real.
Really.
