Hey Luca in future if u can (or edit now) simply delete the video when "QUOTE" or copy paste. It saves a lot of reading space between posts when scrolling the site. Luca is one of the more intelligent people I know. That said, if he tries to remove a video from a post, there is a good chance he will do something that deletes the entire Internet. Technology is not his strong suit. |

Luca, Many (possibly most) social media platforms (Facebook and Tik Tok for sure) do seem to reverse the video for some unknown reason. I see this primarily when the video or photo is capturing in “selfie” mode.

Technology is not his strong suit. When it comes to tech, Luca is like an old Amish man trying to program a DVR. After 20 years of posting, he still thinks he has to sign his posts so we know who wrote them. Deleting a video is something he will master in his next life. |

I first read Senator Lisa Murkowski saying she will not support Trump nominating RBG’s replacement, because of what the Republicans did to the Obama nomination of Merrick Garland. “It will create a double standard,” she said. Sen Lisa Murkowski Has Said She Will Not Vote On Any Supreme Court Nominee Until After The Inauguration
But then I read Ted Cruz’s argument that Trump should move forward quickly (which I believe was weak, and completely political) as well as Mitch McConnells assertion he WILL bring the nominee forward for a vote. my perspective is, Murkowski is one... McConnell Can only lose two more and still have what he needs. but, the court is, right now, split 4-4 in an election year that portends chaos. YES, a Trump Nominee will likely tilt any election disaster in Trumps favor... but what we DON’T need is a 4/4 split decision... although I’m quite certain Roberts will vote with the left side of the court in that circumstance. |

Been seeing a lot of supporters describe RBG as "notorious"
Not sure that's the word I would have chosen... I realize the definition consists of "Being talked about", but the lingua vulgaris generally uses the word in a negative connotation.
Just seems odd to me.

That is a bluff, I'd call immediately and scoop the pot. The last thing these weak lefties want is an all out war, they will lose & lose quickly. People who know how to fight and are willing to don't go around making those kinds of unprovoked threats. They understand that threats have consequences, whether or not you follow through on them. I believe the lefts response to the next Supreme Court nominee will start a quick collapse of their ideology as well as the Democratic party. |

My thinking is, sure Trump has a big part in all this, but the Senate really has no choice if the President does nominate someone. it is their constitutional responsibility to provide advise and consent to the president on his nominations <period> |

Sometimes you hear stuff, just accept it at face value and it isn't until down the road your brain says "hey, wait a minute".
It is being widely reported, including the main obituary headline in many progressive platforms, that Ruth Bader Ginsburgs dying statement was “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”. This was supposedly said to her grand daughter, Clara Spera, a left leaning New York attorney who is currently supporting Biden in the upcoming election. No one else was there to confirm those words were indeed said.
I don't know about you, but if I knew I was dying, the last thing I am going to talk to my grandkids about is me and my work. How selfish and narcissistic would it be to spend your dying moments making political wishes to your grandkids instead of just enjoying their love & company? From everything that has been said about Ginsburg, I can't imagine her as that type of person.
So I call bullshit on this whole dying wish crap, I do not believe a woman of her integrity would make such a politically partisan statement with her last breaths. Rather, I believe this is just once again nothing more than a leftist (Ms. Spera) using a lie to attempt to pull on peoples heart strings in an effort to gain political power. Shame on Ms. Spera for such a stunt.
If I am wrong and Ms. Spera is indeed accurately reporting the last words out of Ginsburg's mouth, it should change the public perception of this Supreme Court Justice. Why would anyone want to take seriously such a person who chooses to make a political statement as she passed while ignoring the pain her grandaughter would be experiencing during her "Bubba's" final moments? It reminds me of Vito Corleone's obsession with how his empire would be run during his last conversations with Michael as opposed to just enjoying his final days with his son.

Ruth Bader Ginsburgs dying statement was “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” I don't think we can wait four and half years to fill her empty seat. |

It’s a play on Notorious B.I.G., otherwise known as Christopher Wallace, a former rapper. They’re not actually saying that Ruth Bader Ginsberg was “notorious”. I only know that because I’m woke and down with the hood and everything...............Luca |

......... After 20 years of posting, he still thinks he has to sign his posts so we know who wrote them. .... I only do that because I often found myself addressing certain cognitively impaired septuagenarians who have the attention span of neonatal squirrels. After two sentences they couldn’t remember whose post they were reading................Luca |
