Hold on a second, though…
RBG declares… “the President is elected for four years, not three. So the powers that he has in year three continues into year four… and that’s how it should be.”#RBGRevolution pic.twitter.com/OuP5pszF62

Nancy Pelosi says:
'We have arrows in our quiver' ready to stop Trump and Senate to nominate and replace #RBG.
Pelosi doesn't discount impeaching Trump or AG Barr as a way to stall the process. VIDEOhttps://t.co/abWDmivOJZ
If Trump manages to appoint and seat a Supreme Court justice before November 10, it could mean the end of Obamacare as we know it — and leave millions of Americans without healthcare in a pandemic | Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for @CNNopinion https://t.co/PE8H0joBGW

Rhetoric aside about protecting pre-existing conditions, facts:
— Elie Honig (@eliehonig) September 21, 2020
– ACA is on Supreme Ct. docket, Nov. 10
– ACA survived in 2012 by 5-4, RBG with the 5 (4-4 vote now reverts to 5th Cir. striking down key piece)
– Trump admin has brief in SCOTUS seeking to strike down entire ACA.
Surprise of the night, for me at least: even half of a *Republicans* think RBG should be replaced only after inauguration day.

I’m seeing people yelling about Sweden again.
— Emma Kennedy (@EmmaKennedy) September 21, 2020
Sweden as a 6th of the UK population and is 6x the size.
They self isolated without being told to.
Their death rate was one of the highest relative to population size.
Only 17% of Swedes have tested positive for antibodies.

Another thing about Brexit we weren’t warned of by #liar #Brexiters
We put a pillock in charge. He was, arguably, less pillocky than the other pillock. Both pillocks were too weak/stupid to admit that Brexit's a disaster. The winning pillock surrounded himself with *massive* pillocks in the hope of looking a bit less pillocky. It hasn't worked…
