    Looks like Ginsberg is once again facing a battle with cancer. According to the article, this was announced by a law clerk.

    Looks like Trump might now be able to nominate yet another Supreme Court justice.

    One has to wonder if Chief Justice Roberts figured out that he may no longer be in the position of being the swing vote. Pity for the GOP-E if the court becomes insulated from the elite progressives lurking in both parties. No doubt, the Globalists will be sweating over this.

    No doubt conservatives will be overjoyed by this. About a month ago a very disturbed poster created a thread celebrating her frail state.

    She's 85 freaking years old, has had brushes with cancer before, and was in a health scare recently. Put aside the rabid partisanship for just a few seconds, you don't think mmmmmaybe this could be true?

    Yep, Ginsberg is 85 and couldn't possibly have health issues. Broken ribs and a deteriorating spinal column must also be exaggerations.

    Sure is plausible, maybe someone could ask one of her law clerks. This is big news and hopefully the Republican majority in the Senate should assure another "easy" pass for another Federalist Society pick.

    You would expect the mainstream media to pick this up at a time when there was an active Senate race going on in Mississippi ?

    The cancer issue was probably noticed when she went into the hospital to treat her broken ribs. And now she has let her clerks know about the return of the cancer after remission.

    This story has been outed as FAKE NEWS long ago.

    The story hit Reddit 8 Days Ago and was quickly shot down as Fake News BS.

    Here is an example of some of the REAL comments (on the internet) referencing this FAKE NEWS BS. (Including one mentioning the 11/8 thing).
    ___________

    FAKE
    https://www.smobserved.com/contact -> physical address and mailing address are the same. And the street name is spelled wrong. And it's a PO box. There is no physical address.

    I would be cautious about any articles published by the Santa Monica Observer. This hasn't been reported anywhere else yet that I have seen so far.

    Sourcing seems pretty weak. Comments indicate this story has been around since at least 11/8/18, even though the page seems to indicate it was published today (dodgy). Also, the author posts stories infrequently and this is decidedly out-of-the-mainstream publication. While it's possible this journalist managed to get a scoop from someone who was "in-the-know", it's unlikely that if this were true it would remain below the radar for this long. I'm calling Shenanigans.

    ___________

    I have reported this thread, and suggested it be immediately moved to the Conspiracy Section (If not deleted).

    This thread has NO BUSINESS being in Current Events at PF.

    I don't see any other press picking this story up. Dateline is 11/25. Comments go back to 11/19. Doesn't look kosher.

    idk, I hate to see anyone get illness; hope it ain't true just on general principles.

    No doubt we can identify a variety of different types of people who find amusement at the thought of persons they don't like perishing. Its hardly a political thing, its a human emotion thing. I need only point to the Kathy Griffin beheading incident as proof of the inclusiveness of callousness.

    Not sure of the source of the article. It seems like if this was true more of the media would have picked up on it. In addition the verbiage in the article is extremely bias. False flag or a conspiracy theory kinda thing? I will file this in the "wait and see" category.

    Hell yes, PT.

    You are spot on.

    Trump is suffering from a form of Late Latent Syphilis that makes Al Capone's Brain Rot (in the final days) looks like the common cold.

    Well thats it for Democrats. Might actually be best off moving to Canada now, because there won't be any gun control, campaign finance reform, hatespeak laws, etc for a generation.

    You really need to rid yourself of blinders. Not everyone against Trump voted for Hillary. Pathetic.
