Davis: The Left Has Only Themselves to Blame for RBG Failing to Retire

Quote:Perhaps the greatest gift President Donald Trump gave us, besides constitutionally sound Supreme Court, was the gift of fake news. Not the news itself, but the identification of the news. Pre-Trump, we didn’t have a universal term for the liars and ideologues who comprised the mainstream media. Rush Limbaugh gave us “drive-by media,” and it was the closest thing to an umbrella term we had. It referred to a careless media that would spew false facts and bias stories designed to gin up discontent, then drive away to leave the victims injured and bleeding with no help to clean up the mess.

Trump’s “fake news” label stuck because it embodied both Limbaugh’s “drive-by media” sentiment and the understanding that not only were many stories coming out of legacy media bias, they were outright lies. They were fake. They had no truth in them, they were simply designed to sway public opinion…even elections.

On Friday, the entire world burst into flames when we learned of the impending implosion of our galaxy, one that will create a black hole that will suck in our solar system and end humanity as we know it.

Well, kind of…Roe v. Wade was overturned. Judging by the reaction of the pro-abortion left, it would have been easier to accept the notion that we are hurtling toward that black hole in outer space.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth has been so very real since the decision dropped, and many people are facing the wrath of the whiners, including Justice Clarence Thomas, who has been called everything but a child of God since the news broke. The progressives haven’t just saved their rage for Thomas, however. They are now seething at the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg, once a heroine of feminism and progressivism, now an object of rage and hatred. Her cardinal sin? Not retiring under a Democrat President and leaving her seat, following her death, to be appointed by President Trump. All of the other pro-progressive rulings she made, all the progress she made in women’s rights and for the equality of women, have been erased. Ginsberg’s only legacy from now on, according to the fickle left, will be that she didn’t retire when everyone wanted her to.

They have no one but themselves to blame. It’s not Trump’s fault. It’s not even RBG’s fault. It is the fault of the childish ignorance of the progressive left and the mainstream liberal media. They lied to us. They lied to themselves. They lied to RBG.

They told us that America would never again vote for a Republican leader after Obama. They told us the country had changed, and the people screaming about feeling pushed out and left behind were nothing but a racist, loser fringe who were just sore losers. They weren’t real people with real concerns. They were morons who cling to their guns and their Bibles. They weren’t humans. In fact, they were less than humans, unworthy of even a moment of consideration.

Instead of reaching out with curiosity, instead of being journalists, the media became cheerleaders for the left, and repeated over and over again the lie that only a small portion of America were unhappy. Those people were unhappy because they couldn’t be smart and sophisticated like the smart, sophisticated elites in New York City or Los Angeles. Those toothless wonders wished they could be as successful. Their bitterness made them political fringe lunatics.

Because of their willful blindness toward half the country, they could not see – or would not see – that so very many people were still aching for representation. They hadn’t gone anywhere, they’d only been silenced.

So, as Obama’s tenure wound to a close, the media posted poll after poll that supported their preferred candidate…Mrs.Clinton, of course. They didn’t care if the polls were flawed. They berated and chastised anyone who questioned the polling as right-wing nutjobs who were just being a bunch of sore losers. They ran fawning stories about Hillary Clinton’s childhood, her time as First Lady, her “charity” and her advocacy. They ignored the growing crowds at Trump rallies, instead, focusing on the future.

What will America be like once led by our first female POTUS? How will feminism change? How will the world respond? What will Hillary’s first moves in office be? How will we address Mr.Clinton (the First Gentleman, if you didn’t already know)?

The opinion pieces were ready and waiting months before election night in 2016. Clinton was a sure thing, the media told us so. The elections were really just a formality.

Of course RBG didn’t retire under Obama. She was told, like the rest of us, that Hillary Clinton would most assuredly be our next president. Given RBG’s unique place in history and more specifically, feminist history, it was not a shock to discover that she longed to hand over her decades of service to the first woman President. Imagine the specter. RBG was not being selfish, she was being thoughtful. Why wouldn’t she be? There was no one to tell her anything other than the lie that President Hillary Clinton was a sure thing.

So, she waited. It was a mistake for the progressives who worship at the altar of centralized power, and the rest is history.

It isn’t her fault, though. It is the fault of the “fake news” media, and the incurious progressives who only want to hear what tickles their ears instead of the truth. It is the fault of everyone who lied to her and told her to ignore the possibility that half the country doesn’t think like her and may not vote like her.

Progressives have no one but themselves to blame for RBG’s wishful thinking. They gambled on their own bias and they lost.

Abortion Supporters Rage at an Unlikely Target Over Roe Overturn: Liberal Icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Quote:Pro-abortion supporters have raged against the Supreme Court, former President Donald Trump, red states, and more in the aftermath of the momentous SCOTUS decision Friday that overturned Roe v Wade. Now they’ve set their sights on a new target—the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was known for her support of women’s rights and famously earned the nickname the “Notorious RGB.”

There’s even an RGB action figure for you to purchase, should you be so inclined. In 2017, she described herself as a “flaming feminist litigator,” but none of that is apparently enough to avoid rabid criticism from the Left.

Her crime? Failing to retire while Barack Obama was still president. By dying in office in 2020 at age 87, she left open a seat that Trump filled with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Had RGB retired when she was “just” 85 or so, Obama presumably would have appointed Judge Merrick Garland, who almost certainly would not have ruled against Roe.

Columnist Scott Feinberg implies her legacy is tarnished by her refusal to step down:

Some of the fanatics were nastier than that, feeling no shame about attacking a deceased person:

What these critics are missing is that almost nobody thought Donald Trump would beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. It hardly seemed a risk for Ginsburg to stay on a few more years. A mere three days before the election, a poll showed Hillary had a 99-percent chance of winning. It seems a little twisted to fault Ginsburg’s apparent logic that there was nothing to fear by staying on the job.

Another unhinged tweet reads, “Reminder: Ruth Bader Ginsberg opted to die in her seat under Trump instead of pave the way for an appropriate replacement under Obama. The road to hell is paved with white feminism.”

Wow, how do you really feel?

Liberals are getting truly nasty out there. My colleague Jeff Charles reports on the repeated use of the “N-word” on Twitter in recent days to describe Justice Clarence Thomas. It’s not surprising then, that besides Ginsburg, they’re also turning on others on their own side. Even former President Obama, a cult-like figure in the Democratic party, can’t escape the heat. Writes freelance journalist Eoin Higgins:

Thanks especially to RBG today for making this possible.

Also thanks to Obama for not recess appointing Garland or whoever to replace Scalia, your inaction and failed presidency helped make this moment a reality.

Ouch. Barack isn’t going to like that. And you didn’t think Biden would escape unscathed, did you? Writes screenwriter Thomas Cunningham:

The Dems refused to Codify Roe even when they had the power to. RBG refused to retire when Obama could pick her replacement. Biden promised he’s codify Roe. Didn’t. Trump win is only 1 part. The other is Dem failure.

Not to be left out of course is the Left’s favorite boogeyman, Orange Bad Man. The Washington Post writes simply, “For the fall of Roe v. Wade, thank Donald Trump.”

We knew the Left would freak out if Roe were overturned and would slam Trump, SCOTUS, Clarence Thomas, and Republicans with their overheated, incendiary rhetoric, and predictably, they have. What’s interesting to see here is them turning on their own icons like Obama, RGB, and Biden. It’s hard not to feel a little schadenfreude in watching them eat their own. As the saying goes, they’re getting a little taste of their own medicine.

Does the left even realize that she said Roe v Wade was a failed decision from the start?

It’s funny that they just assume she would’ve voted to uphold it.

She didn't believe it was failed, she hated that they made decision on right of privacy instead of women's rights.

It wasn't just something that happened. The whole story had God's hand in it. You can call it ironic that the very people who were lying and rooting for Killery would be the reason for the demise of Roe vs Wade. You can thank the good Lord for keeping Ruthie alive until Trump would triumph to the Left's chagrin. That she would believe it is the fault of EVERY "pundit" that put their two cents into the story, especially the MEDIA!

It wasn't an accident folks.

Did she think the equal protection clause was more suited to be abortions constitutional protector

That's what they were talking about on the MSM Sunday shows
