Haha, yeah. I would think a true Chapo fan wouldn’t care about her staying on the court though. I would assume the Chapo line would be that they are glad this happened so that Trump can appoint another justice and so that they can have more leverage to push Democrats to pack the court and then start sending court…

I agree that this is a legitimate criticism of RBG, but I’m not sure it was pride/hubris.

so do they wish to think of Ginsburg and her legacy as being purely inspiring and uncomplicated.

Haha, okay this little bit of trolling gets bonus points for uniqueness.

In a practical sense, yes it’d probably be more useful to society to trade no prison sentence for a few million dollars.

Not in America in 2021 you don’t!

I feel the same, and even more strongly than most about when she should have retired (she was 74 when Barack Obama took office and should have retired immediately IMHO), is it really smarmy to ask that the first post about her death be a proper sendoff to a lady who’s done more for women than anyone here?

friends, loved ones, and organizing comrades

In “She was asking for it” rapist equivalent terms, would you have much sympathy for a woman who knew she was partying with a resurrected Jack the Ripper and still decided to do lines and go back to his place for a solo after party?

I don’t know.  I would assume that a guy named Offset would be pretty good at divvying up assets though.

Buy a fractional share in a share of a time share!

Disagree. For me, when I get right down to it, it’s the age of the actors. I understand that the theme of the film is getting at the notion that what they are depicting is bad.

It’s an intentional choice to be petty.

Black person here, who thinks this lady should go away.

Honestly ...

I don’t get it. What was in it for them?
