<\/p>\nThis year appears to have a rather sadistic bent as it relentlessly piles on melodramas and anxieties. It’s not bad enough that we are suffering through a deadly pandemic that is being dreadfully mismanaged by Donald Trump. We are also having to deal with an economy in recession and civil unrest triggered by systemic racism. And all in an especially contentious election year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adding to those national migraines is the tragic passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Not only has America lost an iconic figure who has made innumerable contributions to civil liberties and equal justice, but it thrusts the nation into a bitterly partisan battle to replace her. Republicans are shamelessly contradicting their previous insistence that the president shouldn’t nominate a Justice during an election year. Apparently that principle only applies to Democratic presidents. The GOP is perfectly OK with nominations by an impeached president<\/a><\/strong> who still has multiple criminal and civil indictments hanging over his head.<\/p>\n Making matters worse is Trump himself (as usual), who was “interviewed”<\/em> twice in two days by Fox News. In a sit-down with Fox’s Mark Levin on Sunday night Trump whined that Fox News wasn’t sufficiently worshipful<\/a><\/strong>, and that they catered too much to Democrats. Are we sure that Trump even knows what channel he’s watching?<\/p>\n On Monday Trump visited the “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends. This is apparently his new regular gig that he leaked last week<\/a><\/strong>. It was there that he unleashed some wild speculations and disturbing revelations. When the subject to Ginsburg’s replacement came up, Trump led off with a thoroughly disgraceful allegation maligning the integrity of Ginsburg and her family:<\/p>\n Ainsley Earhardt:<\/strong> Then you have Ruth Bader Ginsburg who told her granddaughter on her death bed, allegedly, that her dying wish was to have the next president choose her successor. How do you think all this plays out? "I don't know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff, Schumer and Pelosi," @realDonaldTrump<\/a> said of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's "fervent" last wish. pic.twitter.com\/LBsSGEpnqX<\/a><\/p>\n — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) September 21, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nTrump:<\/strong> I don’t know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff and Schumer and Pelosi. I would be more inclined to the second. Okay, it came out of the wind. It sounds so beautiful. But that sounds like a Schumer deal or maybe a Pelosi or Shifty Schiff. So that came out of the wind. Let’s see. I mean maybe she did and maybe she didn’t.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
