Oh Please, Oh Please, Let’s Have a Mind Contest
I need to admit upfront that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is my hero.
I frequently wear my Notorious RBG tee-shirt.
And I also cheerfully admit that I have said some really, really mean things about Donald Trump.
So, I guess you could say that I have a dog in this race.
Add to that the fact that I have read the Constitution and pretty much understand it. Pretty much.
Donald Trump, who wants to be the Tweetie President, had this retort to Justice Ginsberg calling him a “faker.”
Okay, I think it’s nice that he said, “Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court” because his followers probably don’t know what the title “Justice” means or who Ginsburg is. In fact, I’m pretty sure of it. I think he should also say “Speaker Paul Ryan of the United States House of Representatives” because, after all, Speaker Ryan could be a senator or something. Or maybe announcing baseball games.
Plus, it’s nice he put “the U.S.” in there. It could be the Cuban Supreme Court, so he did need to clear that up.
Then there’s “embarrassed all.” All what? Idiots? Seriously, it didn’t embarrass me or Verdelia so it couldn’t mean all people. Yeah, he’s real clear about where the Supreme Court is but “all,” not so much.
“Dumb political statements?” A guy who is tweeting his plan for America is calling something dumb?
“Her mind is shot.” Yeah? Think so? RBG is 83 years old. My Momma is 91 and could whip Trump’s constitutional knowledge with half her brain tied behind her back. I would also like to remind people that John Paul Stevens did not step down until he was 90.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
He best be quiet and not try to have a word fight with her. She knows some words. Some really big words. Huge words. She also knows what they mean and can use them in sentences. Great sentences. Really great sentences.
1Drumpf just can’t resist a chance to be stupidly outraged. RBG can take it. He (on the other hand) can dish it, buy can’t take it. He’s a thin-skinned ignoramus.
2Ms Juanita Jean Herownself in the limited lexicon of malignant narcissist Donnie Drumpf “all” translates as Me, I and Donnie. The notorious RBG penetrated his thin skin with an astute casual observation. Ever the victim Donnie lashed out about an attack because in his deluded mind, if he’s not being stroked, he is being attacked.
3And, Stevens retired too soon. He was replaced by the egregious Alito. RBG can stay as long as she wants.
4It’s a miracle RBG didn’t have a heart attack when Trump vowed he would uphold Article 12 of the Constitution. I almost did and my opinion of him was already sub sea level.
5Seems to me back in 2000 a justice named Scalia said something to the effect that if Gore was elected Scalia’s chance of becoming chief justice was gone. O’Connor was overheard saying that she couldn’t retire if Gore won because she’d be replaced by a liberal justice.
Sheer coincidence that these two voted lockstep with three other wingnuts to appoint dumbass dubya Potus.

7for the above post
And let’s not forget that idiot Alito and his “Not true” mouthing off when President Obama was speaking about the even more idiotic Citizens United ruling http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-now/2010/01/justice-alito-mouths-not-true-024608
8Well, sorry if I offend Mama or anyone else, but I have to agree with Bill Maher on this one. Donnie is a whiney little b**ch.
9Just remember,
When you are dead, you do not know you are dead.
It is difficult only for others.
THE SAME IS TRUE OF STUPID.
Drumpf is ignorant of the fact he is essentially stupid.
10And if the Drumpf University case ends up in the SCOTUS, he’s already antagonized yet another judge, not to mention us oldies but goodies who VOTE. Go RBG!
11The Donald tweeted something? Yawn….
Think of all of the rhetorical crap Obama has had thrown at him over the past 7 1/2 years. He has been stoically silent about most of it.
Now consider this idiot as Prez. Someone doesn’t like his tie and he goes off on a tweet tirade! THAT people is someone who’s “mind is shot”!
12Where do you get a RBG T shirt? Notice I didn’t ask where I could get a Trump T shirt. That’s when you know it’s a real campaign: everyone orders T shirts, bumper stickers and yard signs.
13JAK, as Prez Trump would not just go off on a tweet tirade. With his unbalanced mind, he could declare actual war. Theres are least two Air-borne divisions at hand that he might consider lazy cuz they aren’t doing anything.
14maggie… you are too true. Scary, ain’t it?!!!
15Paul Ryan had the gall to write an op-ed in today’s WashPost saying that Clinton couldn’t be trusted with classified information.
AS IF TRUMP COULD.
I agree with everything RBG said about Trump, but I also feel that it wasn’t the best idea for her to say it. As others have pointed out, if anything Trump-related comes before SCOTUS, she will be called upon to recuse herself, taking a liberal off the court for that decision. (Of course she could, like Scalia and Thomas, say eff off to recusal, but that would be wallowing in the judicial gutter with them.)

17Donald Trump says what his followers are thinking.
RBG says what the rest of us are thinking.
It’s a free country Trump. An amazing, incredibly super classy great, great free country.
18She’d whip his orange butt.
19He cannot speak, reminds me of Sarah Palin.
So he tweets. Will his policies come out as tweets?
RGB Just said what any one with an IQ above room temp. is thinking. The thin skinned, short fingered, Vulgarian can’t stand the truth.
20Anyone want in on a campaign idea? I can see t-shirts, bumper-stickers and even truckers hats. All they will say on them is “Tuck Frump”.
21Here’s how I imagine a meeting of the minds between Trump and RBG.
In Star Wars, when Obi-wan, Luke and the droids approached Mos Eisley Spaceport, the conversation between Obi-wan and the Storm-trooper was probably much like one would that would take place between RBG and Trump.
22Just heard a CNN commentator state that Supreme Court Justices are not under the same rules of conduct as lower court judges, so she may have crossed some line in the minds of the RKlan, there is no line there.
23Every time I think Chump can’t come up with anything stupider to say, he does it again? I think his IQ is not in the negative numbers.
24Right on, maryelle. RBG did nothing wrong, and got perfect everything she said.
25TrulyTexan – Tuck Frump – too dangerous for a bumper sticker. Donnie Drumpf’s supporters would be too challenged to complete the anagram and would drive off the road while attempting to read it. Not that I am opposed to the st00pid driving off a cliff; if they don’t harm an innocent bystander or a squirrel.
26Every time I think Chump can’t come up with anything stupider to say, he does it again. I think his IQ is in the negative numbers.
Please ignore the hit-before-proofreading version above.
27Pants Candy!!!
Durham earns nickname ‘Pants Candy’ after Capitol escapades, report says
Can the story keep up with the headline? That’s a family values republican state legislator from TN by the way.
“Rep. Jeremy Durham engaged in inappropriate conduct with women that constitutes disorderly behavior and warrants expulsion, according to a newly released report from the state attorney general, but a special legislative committee is leaving up to the voters of the 65th District to decide whether or not the embattled lawmaker will continue serving in the legislature.
That conduct includes bringing a 20-year-old intern to his legislative office with a cooler full of beer, kissing her and eventually having sex on a couch, according to the report.”
lol
28Truly Texan… wander on over to Wonkette. They have Truck Fump t-shirts you might enjoy.
29It’s not like nobody knew RGB wasn’t a republican or anything. Besides the point, she and the scaly one were good friends sharing a love of opera. Trump doesn’t share anything.
As for RBG swag, I am still getting up the courage to wear my t-shirt with the GOP elephant and the words “This is why we can’t have nice things” …
30gabberflasted @ #10: The Dunning-Kruger Effect again. Or in this case, maybe the Cunning Booger Effect.
31“My Momma is 91 and could whip Trump’s constitutional knowledge with half her brain tied behind her back.”
What with him sitting on his brain all the time, it wouldn’t be a fair fight.
32Let’s not exclude the fifth “white” wingnut on the court- Clarence Thomas. While he was voting to install dumbass dubya as Potus his wife was working to select people to work in dubya’s WH. No conflict there, huh?
33As for t-shirts, I should have gotten the one years ago that had an outline of the Capitol dome and the words, “Send in the clowns– Don’t bother, they’re here.” But that was in the 1980s and I wanted a White House version then.
One year I got back in the car after voting and that was the song on the radio….
34Drumpf calls RBG senile. Must be trying to be a comedian.
35Donnie is so afraid of dealing with strong, intelligent women, how will he ever be able to debate Hillary?
Depends…
36I came here to comment but I can’t now.
What Cheryl said. I can’t add anything to it. I don’t dare. I would be embarrassed.
37Old Fart: Hillary wasn’t my first choice. I Still wish Biden would change his mind, not just because I like him better, but because I believe he’s much more electable. But with all his personal loss lately, not to mention his decades of service, I sure as HELL don’t blame him. But here’s the rub. I DO like Hillary, and to your question, from how I’ve seen Hillary handle herself in confrontational situations, I think she’s gonna chew Donnie him up and spit him out. I really believe that if he actually goes as far as getting to a debate with her, he’s gonna come out of it looking like a guy who staggers out of a pit bull’s kennel with his clothes in shreds and bleeding.
38n Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter:
“Me want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Sure Chief. Coming right up.”
He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee…..
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts
The buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal
To splatter everywhere and then just walks out……
The next morning the Indian returns.
He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling
Another male buffalo with the other.
He walks up to the counter and says to
The waiter:
“Me want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Whoa, Tonto!
We’re still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.
What was all that about, anyway?”
The Indian smiles and proudly says,
“Training for position in United States Congress.
Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull,
Leave mess for others to clean up.
Disappear for rest of day.”
No offense meant to any Native Americans.
39Proof that Ginsberg’s mind is shot would be if she said something nice about Trump.
40Reminded by the amazing Charlie Pierce that Justice Scalia went duck hunting with VP Cheney, and Scalia and Thomas got family members jobs in the Bush WH after installing W in the White House.
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a46677/ruth-bader-ginsburg-donald-trump/
And don’t forget Scalia, Thomas and Alito fundraising for the Koch’s/rightwing causes. http://www.politicususa.com/2013/11/16/justices-thomas-scalia-violate-judicial-ethics-headlining-wing-fundraisers.html
Makes RBG’s “transgressions” look like jay walking. If that much.
41Wingnuts lowered the impeachment bar to unexplored depths so they could impeach a sitting Dem Potus. Of course they raised it to unatainable heights for dumbass dubya.
42The justice merely told the truth.
43Something that all, except stupid people already knew.
I hate to tell Shit for Brains but he is not even qualified to polish her shoes. But no worry, he could not reach that high anyway.
44So today Ruthie apologized for saying out loud what she was thinking. She did not, however, retract or correct anything she said. Not how it will be spun, I’m sure.
The sheer tedium of unrelenting wingnuttery is becoming very trying.
45I love the Notorious RBG. I like that she apologized. She maintains accountability and does the right thing.
I don’t see a lot of difference between what RBG said and Scalia shooting off his great big, fat, flabby, drooling mouth about a wide variety of political issues, many of which came before the court.
