Watching this movie sparked controversy in my house. I saw a bald faced bid to avoid irrelevance and become the “Goop” of former Forever 21 shoppers. My partner saw a person working through deep trauma in order to move on.

I’m always up for pointing out awful things notable people have done, so I guess that makes sense.

When I first started reading I thought “ugh must we give her any coverage at all?” but I actually think bringing up her documented racism in a time that she’s trying to rehabilitate her image is important.

Kim kardashian's fame makes it worse, I'm sure. 

I’m sure the fact that she is irrelevant now just galls her. In my mind, the first thing I think of is “famous for being famous.” She’s gross and I hope her ass gets dragged for this shit, it’s long overdue.

I’m unclear why we should be paying any attention to Hilton. Maybe she’s not exactly the vapid party-animal she appeared to be on The Simple Life, and nobody should be subjected to the kind of abuse described in the doc, but do we really need to be heaping more attention on yet another rich white capitalist with…

Obama could have done more than he did to push for the Garland and held daily angry press conferences and used the bully pulpit. So, I do find a lot of blame with Obama in this regard. 

You are correct. She was selfish and her selfishness is likely to result in everything she achieved being reversed.

An attorney friend whom I was speaking with expressed the same sentiment, saying, bluntly, that she felt RBG was selfish, to hang on when she new her health made her longevity uncertain. To really guard her legacy of achievements she needed to ensure a suitable replacement and this meant stepping down at the right…

That assumes that the democrats would have and could have used their majority to force an appointment. That is a bad assumption to make, because while the Republican party is wholly united in their systematic dismantling of democracy, the Democratic party rarely gets its shit together over anything. So that could have…

I have heard many well-connected journalists say that RBG was supremely confident that Hilary would win election, and that she declined to retire before the 2016 election because she wanted to be replaced by America’s first female president. Oops.

A 5% 5 year survival rate. She knew this was coming. She could set her clock to this. She didn’t retire.

“Same for John Lewis in Congress.

“No way. She was better than anyone we would’ve gotten through even then.”

Same for John Lewis in Congress.

Fine. Then she arrogantly believed that she was right to stay in the court at age 81, believing that a Republican would not be president again in her lifetime, instead of stepping down and allowing Obama to nominate a much younger judge.

We had many opportunities to correct political imbalances, but sadly threw them away, complacent as we were with the Obama presidency. We unfortunately placed our hand and future with old white people, (read men, in general). And we’re now suffering the consequences.

I’ve been screaming about this for the last year. I loved RBG. She was the best justice on the court in a generation, but her stubbornness and pride have put us in this horrific situation. There was no shortage of Op-Eds in 2009-2014, plus god only knows how many people behind the scenes urging her to retire while…

This single fact is why there should permanently be an asterisk next to any hagiography that will be written about her from here on out. I believe she arrogantly believed that Trump would lose, and now we’re stuck with this. I understand that SCOTUS is supposed to be apolitical but we (and her) all know that is…

Trump could spit in the voters’ mother’s faces and they’d still vote for him. It literally does not matter, they’re immoral fools.
