Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed.
'Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that i I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."'
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."I thought I managed to grow numb to all that was going wrong. But, now I'm legitimately very afraid for the future.
My musician pageI wonder if Trump knew that Ginsburg was dying? He is the president after all, and it was weird he mentioned "Oh yeah, Cotton and Cruz are in my short list for the Supreme Court!" when Supreme Court talk was at the bottom of the list of things this year.
So, let's all get ready for a Justice Cotton... I do hope that Biden decides packing the courts is gonna be a necessity...

Did he forgot about that time he got booed by a baseball audience?
