She cared about rights. Putting in a woman who will set back civil rights as a whole, not only turning back the clock on women's rights to the 1960s or even 1950s, is antithetical to everything she stood for.



She was getting a  conservative either way.

She is HONORED that it is a woman, keeping the balance of the Court as it is (looking to get to that 4-5 level)

And also increases the overall historical number of female justices by 25% - to FIVE.  That increases level to 4.3% from the 3.5% females (current level) that have previously been approved to serve.

You bet your ass Ruth would approve.

Keep her name out your mouth, worm tongue.

She'd never approve of such a lame argument.


Many of us, not you, can see below the surface, read between the lines, comprehend figuratively, literally, and with correct inferences.

It ain't how it looks; it's how it is. And there is no woman that Trump will nominate who will fill her shoes as they truly fit.

You must get tired of eating shit so much.

No, she is not honored to have any person appointed who is going to seek to undo what she spent her life working to do.

Just shut the fuck up, would you?

One good reason to stamp out the terrorists and take the government back.

4 woman - of 114 - have been a SCOTUS justice.

And you think - knowing a conservative was to be added - Ginsburg wouldn't be proud that at least it was a woman?

So  she was for women's rights.  Just not THOSE women.

Got it.

[josh]

She was for women's rights.

She would agree that a woman has the right to be a SCOTUS Justice, numbnuts.

She would not be HONORED by a woman who would roll back women's rights.

But now I know you are arguing to be a troll, not because you believe a fucking thing you are saying.

Thank you for that clarification.

Promote facts about candidates, not fantasies and false rumors.   Encourage critical thinking skills.  Vote for candidates like Joe Biden who understand Russia is a dangerous adversary and Putin not someone who understands anything but severe sanctions for cyberwars against the sovereignty of our elections.

Also speak out against people who peddle falsehoods about Justice Ginsburg and her deathbed wishes.

How so, specifically?  Explain how this could occur.

In the corner office of a nondescript office building in northern Virginia, President Donald Trump's new campaign manager, Bill Stepien, stares at a spreadsheet. What it tells him, in its "Matrix"-like way, is that he is presiding over the worst campaign-finance fiasco in American political history.

Trump launched his reelection effort the same day he was sworn in, January 20, 2017. In the last three-plus years, the campaign has raised and spent nearly $1 billion. One. Billion. Dollars. And now, with six weeks to Election Day, Team Trump finds itself robbing Peter to pay Paul.

How did the reelection campaign of a sitting president end up in this position? Let's run it down.

Money, money, money
Anyone who has run a national campaign knows that the first thing you do every morning and the last thing you do every night is know your cash-on-hand position: what's in the bank, what needs to be paid, what is expected to come in that day, week, and month. Without this information, or at least a general sense of it, it is impossible to craft a coherent campaign strategy and its accompanying tactics.


Once something the size and scope of a presidential campaign starts, the cash register begins running and never stops. All the overhead — the offices, the employees, the computers, the consultants — has to be paid for.

Missing payroll on a campaign is tantamount to a death sentence as staff begins screaming to the rafters about paychecks and leaking like a sieve (something Team Trump contends with anyway).

In short, running low on cash is just about the biggest worry for any presidential campaign.

A big impediment to ending homelessness in Los Angeles is that one hand of our bureaucracy too often doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. Either through state density bonus laws or city land use decisions, affordable housing gets built, but the units are not well linked to the people who need them.

For the past couple of years, I have been arguing that we should be requiring or incentivizing that affordable housing units be linked to our homeless service authority’s database so we can quickly match supply with demand.

Today, the City Council voted to approve legislation I authored calling on relevant city departments to report back within 90 days on opportunities to match people who are unhoused with new affordable housing units.

This is one of ten things I have proposed to help end homelessness in Los Angeles. Find out more about this idea, and the other nine, at

And my reply...

Some other ideas...

There can be hostels like in Rome, Italy, where people can take a nice hot shower and where they can sleep in a nice comfortable bed for $15 per night.

There can be bed and breakfast type establishments.

The homeless drug addicts and alcoholics can get treatment at camps in Acton, and in Lake Hughes, etc, they can do the 12 Step Programs at the camps, and they can do 90 day treatment programs to get clean and sober.

Habitat for Humanity and Homeboy Industries and Chrysalis and others can help to build retirement housing for homeless people 55 and older, to get the homeless seniors off of the streets and into housing.

The foster youth can be helped when they are young so that they do not end up homeless when they turn 18, and we need more programs to help the foster youth, we need to help them to be be successful instead of homeless. Also, the foster youth can have internships at the movie studios, etc, we need to create opportunities for the foster youth.

We need programs to help the children who do not have fathers, we need to help the children who are at risk of becoming homeless.

We need to help the women who become homeless as they escape violence and abuse.

There can be more Wellness Centers such as the new Wellness Center in Orange, where people can go for help if they become homeless. And also in Orange County you can call 2-1-1 on your cell phone if you become homeless, and people will help you.

We need for the workers to be paid fair so that they can afford housing if they work, we need fair wages, and wages must match the cost of living. If you are honest and if you work hard, then you need to be able to afford a place to live. The unions can help the workers to be paid fair. People need to fight for fair pay.

The unions can help to connect homeless people with jobs, along with groups like Chrysalis and Homeboy Industries, and the employment office, etc.

Those are a few more ideas for you.

Keep up the great work!

Salute,

Tony V.
