Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

[McDad]

didn't see it - you mean to tell me it wasn't countered by timely tweet?

Honestly I skip over most of EL's tweets. They're either ridiculous or temporary anyway. So many of his tweets are deleted by the tweeter or the platform.

James Comey or the Apostle James?

 

[hog88]

Jesse Duke or Boss Hog?

 

[Carl Pickens]

Not familiar with that.

How about this? As a kid I thought Carl Kolchak was a BMF.... I couldn’t believe he wasn’t scared of anything

Came out the year you graduated - you were probably "studying"

I looked it up. The movie was first shown Nov of 1972. I graduated Winter Quarter in March 1972. I got married that year and moved to New Haven Ct. I am not sure if we had a tv at that time. If so, we probably got 3 channels. I remember having a tv in the 2nd house that we rented in 1974, but I'm not sure we had one. I know we couldn't hardly afford much of anything, as my first wife was getting her Master's at Yale.

Wow. Raiders taking it to the Saints. I don't think I like that. Must be Trump's fault.

I remember the name, but not any particulars. It seems like Darren McGavin was in that. Right or wrong?

the headless motorcycle rider episode of the TV series was my favorite.

the two movies were great too. (Night Stalker and Night Strangler IIRC)

one of the streaming services had the TV show.

Brother ? Lol . I was just telling NGV the other night how I’ve been hit with everything my mom could get her hands on .

Mom was the softie in our house. When dad went for his belt or made one of us go cut a switch, mom would usually beg him to stop after the first couple of whacks.

Those are the words of a cynic. There are many who live long enough for true wisdom to lead them back.
There's still hope for you and a handful of others on here.

I grew up in the 50s when a kid could safely walk from home to a movie and have a great afternoon for 25 cents; it's not hard at all to be cynical of what I see today.

 

[volfanhill]

Yeah, I just decided to give up. I remember now why I've been spending less time here. The headaches just aren't worth it. Some people just always have to be the victim, and it always has to be someone else's fault.

That’s 100% true. The lack of self reflection is shocking. Especially with our own lawyers who participate on here.

We would walk home about a mile from the cowboy movies on Sat. sometimes at the theater downtown.

I can also remember seeing The Pit and the Pendulum and The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and having the crap scared out of me. I was probably 10 or so.

I'd like to think you were luded out at a kegger

For any of you leftists out there struggling to cope with RBG’s death or TDS there is help out there.

The left needs to accept that this appointment is going to happen. Mitch and the GOP are not going to pass up a chance to get another conservative on the SCOTUS bench. It might not happen by election day, but it will happen before January.

 

[McDad]

Nancy Pelosi or Nancy Reagan? Whose character makes them the better person?

Nope. Married man, just turning 23, working by the hour as much as they would let me.

Charles Bronson or Charles Manson?

I grew up on Navy Bases in the '80's. We'd ride our bikes everywhere, play backyard football all the time. Saturday nights we'd go to the skating rink, maybe catch a movie at the on base theater. Every thing we needed was on that base, and there was a genuine sense of community. I miss the simplicity of it.

Since I've given up on politics, all the hand wringing, pearl clutching, sky is falling, and hypocrisy are really funny.

Seriously, how many conservatives cried for 45 mins when Scalia died? "What the hell is wrong with you people" is right.

might cost them the election but I tend to agree. If Biden wins big it might not happen. If it's close or Trump wins it's likely.

the question becomes is revenge (packing the Court) worth the public backlash for Dems
