More political irony - Sotomayor

WASHINGTON - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a life-long diabetic, was treated by paramedics for low blood sugar at her home in Washington on Friday morning but was able to go to work afterward, a court spokeswoman said.

The horror though at the concern of Trump being 1" too tall and 1lb over weight.

I can’t -weight- to hear the late night losers pick up on this. Since she is visually obese I’m sure Aidy Bryant will emulate her on SNL.

Unless… unless the “comics” only get their information from the “media” the way Obama did. In which case… if you don;t read that web page in the next 5 minutes you will never know it happened.

Either way… by Liberal standards… she’s not fit for office based on health concerns. Especially when Liberals consider the SCOTUS is superior to the POTUS rather than it’s equal.

(in your best Trix cereal commercial announcer voice) “Silly centrist, standards are only for Rethugnicans!”

[b][i]ONE WARNING AND ONLY ONCE.

FEEL FREE TO START A THREAD, BUT DO NOT TROLL ANOTHER MEMBER INTO A FIGHT.[/i][/b]

Hey, just delete/lock it… I’m not sure what I did… but the media went nuts over Trump being 1" too tall and we have two Liberal SCOTUS judges that are far from the epitome of health… I’m not trying to troll anyone.

In fact, I’m not even clear how I -would -troll anyone with this… but I’m sure it could be done… so yeah… just lock it up… sorry for the intrusion.

Wait there’s a such thing as “too tall”? :confused:

Anyways, I may not agree with Sotomayor on, well…anything but I’ve seen enough people go into DKA to know that it is no joke. And that it is nothing good to go through.

Well, I don’t want to come across as someone insensitive to diabetics. My cousin was killed by a person that went into a diabetic coma and crossed the highway to a head on. My other cousin had to be released from the Navy for being diabetic and he was heavily invested in being a career Navy guy.

But the -current events- are now that Trump somehow needs to be the most healthy person on the planet when a -lot- of our elected officials look like walking death.

ETA:… and my main point… are we going to see the scrutiny into her health…

Had she been drinking the night before?

Is this -normal- for her?

Might it impact her reasoning?

Etc… IOW… what is the reality of this life long situation and her ability as a SCOTUS Justice.

Well you got a point but I chalk it up to the usual BS.

If people have meat they attack the idea, if they don’t they attack the person.

Who remembers Strom Thurmond? He was clinically dead his last two years in office. Like literal Weekend at Bernies

I’m still stuck on Robert “sheets” Byrd – longest serving Senator. How many years did he wander around the insane asylum signing off on things he had no clue about.

I remember him, and no I’m not surprised by that report.

Anyone heard of Sander Levin?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sander_Levin

He’s still in office today. I saw him speak live, in person, for a small lawyers group back c. 2003. He was extremely senile and unable to speak in repeated coherent sentences back then, and he would have been only +/- 72 years old per the Wikipedia info. I was there with several colleagues and we all discussed, quietly, our collective shock at just how clearly incompetent this Congressman was. Did I mention that Levin is still in office today? That’s the kind of people we have supposedly “representing” us.

I think I might has just “got” Sam’s warning… I think he thought I was trolling Firefly… maybe? If that is the case, nothing could be further from reality.

I have/had a couple judges in my family too… along with the two dead diabetics (both under 55) mentioned above. One of the judges got a DUI. Firefly often notes judges often have drinking problems… I agree. … and as SomeOtherGuy notes too, look at who we have been represented by.

Now that’s not always a bad thing. I don’t care if a rep has or even needs a drink, takes whatever meds, but when we get to the double standards when we have had basically walking zombies that were praised, something is very wrong.

By 2018 and for certain 2020 non Dems and non Liberals need a #NoDoubleStandards movement.

I feel the recent attack on Trump’s health is a good example and point of interest.

I would like to find some ray of light that allowed anyone that wished to defeat Dems a lane of unification as opposed to simply preaching to the choir for another refrain.

The Left is unifying for 2018 and 2020. The ANTIFA front did not work. The female front may… if they develop it properly. Which isn’t looking to shabby right now.

What are you bringing to the political fight in 2018-2020?

Well you got a point but I chalk it up to the usual BS.

That’s what troubles me. Too much BS on too regular a basis and people get used to it. I’m concerned people think they can create the Trump phenomenon again in 2020.

I wish non-Dem, non-Liberal were more vocal on a constant basis to double standards.

… but just to be clear, my mention of your screen name was one of respect by association. If it read otherwise my apology.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She looks like she’s already been mummified.

Isn’t Oprah considering a Presidential run? At the very least the Left is gushing over the thought. She maintains a healthy weight, and never Yo-Yo’s, right?

I’m convinced she’s already been stuffed and mounted as a Disney audio-animatronic. lol

The real irony is that the left wanted to elect a woman who was literally passing out in public thrown into a van like a sack of potatoes and having uncontrollable spasms’. Yet Trump being overweight slightly is an issue? Desperate.

Like him or not, Trump is 70+ and still pulls tang like a Cosmonaut.

The only fat and outta shape guy who is that active is Ron Jeremy and he does it professionally.

I know right now after hard living, a disdain for healthy food, and not being good at making friends and influencing people that I will be dead by 60 if I’m lucky so…

Mazeltov

I really doubt the left is concerned about Trumps health. If anything they would want him to be unhealthy. That said, it’s not like the guy is some pinnacle of health, he is overweight, old, supposedly has a history of taking stimulants, and prefers fast food. Pretty sure if he had to try the presidental fitness test of old he wouldn’t do so hot.

On a side note, I think Ginsburg is probably getting some German stem cell treatments and a Dick Cheney robot heart. They are going to do everything they can to keep her legally alive until 2020.

Well they’ll keep them going just to keep their balance.

He’s not overweight. He’s just a cold weather eskimo. Even without money he could still pull in daddy issues chicks like Bob Barker or Hugh Hefner(pbuh).

Now if you want a fatass go look at President Taft.

Anyways, if I make it to 70…THIS nickel gon eat Big Macs, drink Rip It, pop that black market Rip Fuel, and live it up.

Any day over 65 is gravy.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s first bionic woman. Ruth Bader Ginsberg will be that woman. Better than she was before. Better… stronger… faster…more liberal

For you young un’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLs0V8T5AA

Slightly OT but is it weird that I’d rather make it with a cyborg than an outright Synth/Replicant/Skinjob?

Like I imagine she’d have a cool backstory and would be robot enough to be cool but all woman enough to not feel like a creep.

Maybe even have an eyepatch and a scar on her face.

But still femme. And not butch. Like if its a normal girl I prefer butch but if she has bionics I want her femme because I just do.
