Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- CANCER FOUND on her lungs

I hate her for not retiring during Obama's presidency.

Had the growths removed

She will be fine, sends her love.

I love you R3.

I hope a trick robs you, R4.

Arrogant bitch thought she would live forever.

Well Scalia died during Obama's term and there was no Supreme Court appointment. Ginsburg just delayed the inevitable, that the Republicans get two more Supreme Court picks.

Why are you so awful, R6?

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

You should hate Obama for not pushing harder to get a SCOTUS pick as he rightfully should have, R1.

And hate the GOP for fucking cheating, lying, grifting and stealing everything they've ever "won," in hopes of literally killing us so they can line their pockets.

Deplorable shits stinking up the thread, dump is 71 he to will die soon, especially since he's an obsesse whale.

BREAKING: US Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg has cancerous growths removed from lung, the court says: "Post-surgery, there was no evidence of any remaining disease."

Lung cancer, mid 80s = death sentence.

She's fine. No, really. She's FINE! Apparently, when she was hospitalized for the cracked ribs they found a couple of nodules. They operated and removed them, and found no evidence of anything else. They caught it in time. So thank God for cracked ribs. But she's FINE. If Jimmy Carter could have a brain tumor removed at the age of 90 Ruthie is FINE. She has the very best healthcare in the world. She was in NYC being treated. As I said...she's FINE.

Not necessarily, you ignorant slut r13. Jimmy Carter beat brain cancer in his nineties,

R14 is Brett Kavanaugh, licking his chops & sharpening his steak knife.

R15 is Michelle O & her thigh high boots

[quote]If Jimmy Carter could have a brain tumor removed at the age of 90 Ruthie is FINE.

Let us pray. There are at least two more years of a Repug president.

She is going to be ok..........

R10, Obama should have "pushed harder" by... doing what exactly?

Why couldn't it be Brett Kavanaugh with cirrhosis of the liver instead?!?

That is one tough broad...

R7, you are such an ignorant ass. Try reading now and then.

R13 is right. She's a goner

I want to be put under heavy sedation for the weekend.

At least.

Cancer moves very slowly in the elderly

I'm really hoping she outlives Trump; so she can at least die in peace.

R23, we’ll eventually we’re all goners so you’re technically correct but when she fractured her ribs, they found early cancer. It would have gone unnoticed if she hadn’t broken her ribs, but they caught it early enough this time.

She may be fine depending on the lung cancer. My 77 year old neighbor was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. She had part of her lung removed and no other treatment. So far she's fine. And I'm sure if she knew all you she'd send her love too.

R25 yes, you’re correct. My firend’s Mother had breast cancer—she discovered it at 87 just before she went on vacation. Her dr. told her to go on vacation because indeed, it’s slow moving in the elderly. She took care of it when she returned, and died at 93 of old age.

The 2016 election will Determine law and culture for the rest of the century. Don’t lose elections

R28 do you live in Century Village?

R30 that’s well and good if we had a time machine, but we don’t.

I understand, but when we were campaigning in 2017, many of us tried to convey the implications of losing them. We were met with lethargy and overconfidence

This is just fake news to get Trump's and the Deplorables hopes up and then Ruth Bader Ginsburg goes "Psych, suckers!" and performs a slam dunk with a basketball.

R33, 2018 proves that most people got the message re the consequences of 2016. We just have to move forward and not get complacent.

RBG has had a 2-pack a day habit for decades. Camel Wides unfiltered.

Poor Ruth. Didn't she have some hip injury a couple of months back? She should be in bubble wrap to keep her safe and sound.

Has any president appointed three justices in his first term?

A positive way of looking at it is her fall were she broke her ribs did herself and everyone else a favour and is a blessing because without that this cancer might not have been caught until it was too late.

R37....She fell and broke some ribs in her office.....in a way, it was divine intervention....if she hadnt fallen, she would never had known about the cancer.....hopefully she makes a complete recovery.

Perfectly put r40

@kencharles

I don’t care if they hold her together with duct tape she needs to be healthy thru 2025 just in case!!

Oh please the woman is on her deathbed. There is no way the doctors are telling the truth here.

Dump will probably appoint one or two more Deplorable Justices in their 40s during his first time. And he will probably self-pardon and then get re-elected, as Dems double down on open borders and trans. That could mean a Supreme Court for decades with a majority of Dump appointments.

first term*

r42 Im kind of hoping Trump is a one term president!

My mother has stage 4 lung cancer for the last 4.5 years, it is difficult to diagnose and she never smoked so by the time they found it, it was too late to operate. She is 77, it isn't the death sentence it once was. My grandfather also had it nearly 20 years ago, also a non-smoker, killed him in a few months. Now they have targeted therapies, instead of the chemo that really does so much damage.

Since they were able to operate, it means it was localized and likely she will be fine, if not they have targeted drugs and she can still have at least a few good years left. She was actually lucky to have broken her ribs so they could find it in time, by the time you have symptoms it has already spread.

2025? Wtf? She won’t last that long. If the Dems blow 2020 then they deserve to watch Trump put another Justice on the Court.

I saw the word "malignant" in one of the stories.

She's done.

Thanks for your efforts, Boris at R44. I sincerely do appreciate when you all make the effort to try and sound legitimate, even though you can't help but give yourselves away.

you cannot be sure of that r43

MDs said there tumor(s) was removed and the cancer has not spread. Cancer could reappear later; I'm hoping it'll be 2021 and the Dems will own the white house.

She's 85 yrs old. That's too old for anybody to be working at any job, let alone on the SCOTUS.

It's ridiculous why they are lifetime appointees.

Stevens was in his 90s or about when he Retired. He’s still giving lectures

She didn't even have full blown surgery. She had a lumpectomy. they went in, snatched the two nodules, wandered around with a camera, gave the all clear. She's FINE.

Bless her

[quote] Why couldn't it be Brett Kavanaugh with cirrhosis of the liver instead?!?

Patience, patience

Everybody posting here knows she is a goner.

She's tough and dedicated. Get well soon, Justice Ginsberg. We need you

It's way worse than they are letting on. Her ribs were weakened by the cancer spread. They may be holding off till after the holidays to tell us the truth

[quote] as Dems double down on open borders and trans

Try to hide your deplorableness just a teensy bit.

No, r31, NYC.

R60, CAN YOU READ? There is no "cancer spread."

r63 is incredibly naive. They would not have operated on an 85 yr old woman unless cancer was aggressive. Cancer is slow moving in the elderly generally, so it must be worse than they say.

Ruth said she was "fine" last week

R64, I'm the one with the 77 year old neighbor who had part of her lung removed due to cancer. You're trolling or you know jack shit about lung cancer. It's not the death sentence you think it is, and, depending on the type of cancer, surgery may be enough to keep a person cancer free with absolutely no other treatment.

r66, I HOPE that is the case. I am pulling for her. But her days are numbered on SCOTUS.

She was good friends with Scalia . A tough lady

She’s had colon cancer AND pancreatic cancer in the past. I wonder if this latest one is mets or yet another primary tumor? Either way it’s not good.

r69, I thought the same thing. Cancer is EVIL

R67, how do you figure her days on SCOTUS are numbered? My neighbor is as active as she was before her lung cancer surgery. In fact, she's just back from a three week vacation of Vietnam, NZ and Iceland, and I'm not talking about a lay by the pool vacation either. Her surgery was 9-months ago BTW.

Given her ability to shake off multiple cancers and other ailments, are we sure she isn't a Terminator from the future sent to save us?

Well if she dies it's our fault who he puts in her place.

Who will Dump replace her with, Steve Bannon?

If Dump is re-elected. we could have a 7-2, or 8-1 Deplorable Supreme Court for decades. Elections matter.

Keep telling yourself that.....Kavanaugh will be gone by 2020....he WILL be impeached and removed from the bench....Dems arent fucking around with this asshole and his cabal of grifters.

after january 3rd, trump gets impeached, pence gets ndicted an it's president pelosi

Anyone I've know with lung cance, and there's been a few, including my father was dead within 6 months of diagnosis. Diagnosis to casket within 6 months is typical. And she's had other various cancers in the past? Cracked decaying ribs at the site of the cancer? They're downplaying her numbered days. She's probably in hospice.

Trump will get his third justice, and Roe v Wade will finally be overturned

It seems likely to me that Justice Kennedy was leaned on to retire when he did, for no apparent reason (such as health), so that Trump could make a second Supreme Court appointment. Now Ginsberg better not die!

Lots of wishful thinking on this thread.

Notorious RBG has already beat pancreatic cancer which I thought was pretty much terminal. What really bothers me is, wasn't RBG just saying in an interview the other day that she was fine after the broken ribs?

Which means we can't really trust her to be honest with us about her health, her right I guess, but when she goes we might get absolutely no notice even if it is sometime long term.

r71, here is a clip from Sept of this year. She looks sick and out of it.

R80 It's tradition for justices to retire under presidents of the same party that nominated them (this is why many are upset Ginsburg didn't under Obama). In this particular case, Kennedy probably didn't think Trump was going to get a second term.

Kavanaugh sided with Planned Parenthood recently.

"Keep telling yourself that.....Kavanaugh will be gone by 2020....he WILL be impeached and removed from the bench....Dems arent fucking around with this asshole and his cabal of grifters."

LOL you people have been saying that since 2016

I can't with all this.

I am rushing to finish my work so I can drink heavily all weekend.

Should we do another prayer circle for Ruth? I'm happy to lead it.

Based on comments here and on social media, people intuitively know she is on her last leg.

r86....Fuck OFF......the Dems have had no power....the GOP controls both houses of Congress, the SC and the White House....thats about to change in less than 2 weeks.....

I have two nodules on my lungs Lower left. They haven't grown or changed shape in two years. I get a CAT Scan once a year and consult with a pulmonary specialist annually. I'm 61. WE found them when I had my chest ex ray. They're a bit larger than a pin dot. When we had the CAT Scan they also saw a lesion on my pancreas. So I had an MRI. They said it had not changed in a year either. Ruthie will be fine.

"Fuck OFF......the Dems have had no power....the GOP controls both houses of Congress, the SC and the White House....thats about to change in less than 2 weeks.....

Dumb fuck- The Senate has a super majority GOP. They are the ones who vote on SCOTUS. I will guarantee you that Trump will appoint at least one more SCOTUS justice.

You had this at 85 yrs old? r91. Ruthie will be at least retired in a few weeks.

Dumb Fuck r92....a Super Majority would be 60+ seats.....

I know the left are prone to pathological optimism and believes anything the MSM tells them, but this does not look good for Ruth. She is not well to serve on SCOTUS. She was selfish by not retiring during Obama's tenure.

NO dumb ass. I said there was no change, no growth in mine. If as I have been told by my physician,cancers develop slower the older you are, Ruthie

"Dumb Fuck [R92]....a Super Majority would be 60+ seats.....

If you are so convinced that she will be up and going next month than why is your base freaking out with anxiety over this"minor" setback?

"NO dumb ass. I said there was no change, no growth in mine. If as I have been told by my physician,cancers develop slower the older you are, Ruthie"

Than why did they risk operating on her if it's so slow growing? Also, why did Ruth lie to the public last week saying she was healed?

I hope she can make through the timeline of all the appeals that are coming regarding Trump evidence and his impeachment hearings. Trump will appeal every little think as far as he can appeal. We need RBG on the SC.

"after january 3rd, trump gets impeached, pence gets ndicted an it's president pelosi "

Oh. my sides lmao.

She didn't "lie." She said she was fine and she is.

RBG can’t stand up straight and can barely walk, and that was before she had a third case of cancer diagnosed and a major surgery. She’s toast.

RBG voted on the asylum case from her hospital bed. She's a badass.

[quote]It seems likely to me that Justice Kennedy was leaned on to retire when he did,

He was blackmailed into retirement to save his son and his own reputation, a story which MSM wouldn't touch. He wasn't planning to retire; he had already picked his clerks for the coming session.

What did his kid do?

Dump will be re-elected. It's almost certain. He has the votes and will pardon himself and family. Deplorables don't care about ethics lapses or illegalities. In fact it just makes them even more horny to vote for him again.

Lung cancer is rarely survivable, even if you're in your 30s.

But they didn't say if the nodules were metastases from her pancreatic or colon cancers (which I would put good money on), in which case she is Stage IV and imminently terminal, especially because of her advanced age.

They would not have performed surgery had it shown any signs of spreading. When my mother was diagnosed nearly 5 years ago they thought they could operate until they found it in her lymph nodes and other lung, she has been on combos of targeted meds and chemo ever since, and it spread to her liver but she is still kicking. RBG is a tough old broad, cancer these days is treated more like a chronic illness than a death sentence.

The doctors said "No further treatment is planned."

That doesn't mean "no further treatment is necessary."

Does she have Obamacare?

Can she vote on cases that she has not been there every day for because of her hospitalization?

The Supreme Court and The Congress have their own separate government health plans covering nearly100 percent forever and don't have to worry about the rest of us mere mortals unless they want to.

"Lung cancer is rarely survivable, even if you're in your 30s."

R107, you stupid imbecile, you'd DIE SOONER in your 30s that you 80s!!!!!!!!

Supreme Court Justices don't have to recuse themselves from any case for any reason and don't have to say why. They don't a superior court to account to. A privilege abused too often.

^ They don't *have* a superior court, etc . Sorry.

The Justices occasionally do recuse themselves but it's entirely at their own discretion. No one can force them to.

[quote] She didn't "lie." She said she was fine and she is.

"Fine" people don't need cancer surgery. She lied through her dentures.

Almost everyone will get cancer if they live long enough r116, enjoy yours, it is coming just around the corner.

Rith ruth she's our girl, if she can't do it no one can, gooooooooooooo ruth! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good point, R109. The statement is worded very carefully: “No further treatment is PLANNED.” That’s very different from no further treatment is NEEDED. Could well be that at her age she wouldn’t survive chemo so they’re choosing to forgo it.

You don't necessarily need any further treatment after surgery, you dumb shits.

"The doctors said "No further treatment is planned."

That doesn't mean "no further treatment is necessary."

This stood out to me too. She is dying and they are keeping it under wraps. Rumors abound that she is retiring early next year.

This is probably much worse than is being let on

I think many on the left know this. This is why they are so defensive and hostile.

Look. My cousin has lymphoma. She is 84. She's been dealing with it for 12 years. It is more of a chronic condition than a death sentence. She had her regular scan a few months ago and they found nodule in her lungs. She has refused anymore chemo. It damned near killed her six years ago. She's not a candidate for surgery. Once cancer spreads through your lymph system into the soft tissue it's very difficult to get rid of with surgery. The doctor is monitoring her. Every two or three months they scan and measure. Very slow growth. But if she wants to they will give her radiation to shrink it. She says she is fine. No pain, she tires. She rests. She is not on oxygen or anything. She's doing well. I suspect Justice Ginsberg has access to even better treatment than my cousin. who's just a retired utility company worker. The fact that they were able to operate on Justice Ginsberg tells me she is very strong and generally her health is very good. The broken ribs may have been a blessing because they were able to catch it. If they had not, then yes, six months more and maybe she would have been in a different situation.

R124, I think the ribs breaking story was a ruse. The cancer has spread. Even if she is going to last a while, she will be too weak to remain on SCOTUS.

Kavanaugh is just like Trump, a real criminal. How sad that lowlife Republicans in the Senate allowed this bastard on to our Supreme Court.

You assholes can launch all the conspiracy theories you want. So long as she’s on the bench casting votes, it doesn’t matter. She will retire as soon as Sherrod Brown is sworn in as President on January 20, 2021.

LMAO AT THE DELUSIONAL R127

When a doctor says no further treatment is planned, either the patient has declined further treatment, or the doctor can't do anything else.

The optimism in this thread takes me back to '92 when Bush Sr. lost his re-election and we were all assured that Trickle Down Economics was dead and buried.

R129, true.

Trump's tweet. She is not going to make it :(

"Rumors abound that she is retiring early next year."

HA HA. RBG will never retire, you imbecile.

I feel guilty . I don't want her to die, especially from cancer.

Everybody seemingly interested with her death even when she's still alive. She's becoming the Betty White of politics.

[quote] HA HA. RBG will never retire, you imbecile.

There are other options

RBG and Trump cartoon

She is not on the Bench today

This is the first time she has missed oral arguments.

She's still recovering and working from home. No need for concern.

Politico is reporting this now: Bader missed opening arguments for the first time and the WH is consulting allies for a believed departure or death. This is not good

Say it isn’t so:

Maddow just had a cancer surgeon who does this exact procedure all the time. He said we shouldn’t worry, the recovery is usually a few weeks, longer at her age.

She should have left when Obama was in office. Why she didn't speaks volumes. It seems obvious her cancer has metastized. Do you think Maddow would ever tell the truth about her?

R144 Obvious troll is obvious.

Larry King had the same thing done last year, he's still here.

[quote] It seems obvious her cancer has metastized.

They caught the cancer very early as a result of seeing it on the x-rays from her fall. What is the point of jumping to a conclusion like that based on nothing more than rank speculation. She's working from home.

Yes Virginia, you can get a lung cancer diagnosis at an early stage.

Hmmmmmmm.....

Holy shit r148, I’m in a meeting so I can’t open that link, when the hell did they do that???

This morning.

Fox & Friends apologized on Monday after briefly airing a graphic suggesting that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead.

WOW. And how exactly would such a mistake be made? Was it on RussiaTV whatever their state channel is called? It feels like a veiled threat. I fucking hate them,

Sounds like Fox is ready. Apparently they know some information you don't yet have.

Care to elaborate r152?

r148 I hate Fox News like any card-carrying liberal, but I'm sure a lot of media organizations prepare graphics and short blurbs for famous people who look like they might upchuck and die at any moment. It's no different from DL guessing which celebrity will die next to complete a triple.

Of course r154, but what was the primary reason they thought she died TODAY, hmmmm?

Fox is trying to subtly cause this lady stress, because the thought of death causes a lot of people untold stress. But I truly believe, as she has faced the possibility of it before, it will only galvanise her. I wouldn't be surprised if she hangs on till her mid 90s, but will probably retire under a Democratic president.

I think that wasn't as much of a "mistake" as Fox made it out to be. She is either dying or dead. She's had about 50 different kinds of cancer. She hasn't been able to work in weeks. Sometimes you have to just admit when it's over! She really made a huge mistake in not retiring under Obama. Now we'll have to pay the price. :(

Bingo r156, that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. They really are pieces of shit. She’s DEAD, oopsie!!!!

R157, you are blocked, bye-bye!

R158, blocked for facing reality?

Trumpism is a death cult. The filthy, vile, disgusting Trump cultist comments on this thread are further proof (as if any were needed).

Hey r157 I don't know if you remember but there was a Supreme Court position open under Obama when Scalia died. Remember what happened with that?

Fuck Obama.

Oh wow, she must not be doing well...

R161 Obama nominated Merrick Garland, and McConnell refused to allow the Senate to interview him.

Do YOU remember?

R163, that poster has no idea what they’re talking about.

R161 = Mitch McConnell

Rumblings I’m hearing from DC today is not good guys.

It will be fucking Weekend at Ruthie's before Trump gets to appoint another Supreme Court justice.

R166, what are you hearing? Is she already dead and they're trying to cover it up? Or is she really close to dying which is why Fox was already gleefully reporting it?

Several days ago the same site that first said she had cancer now says she has pneumonia. The site is dismissed as a fake news source, but they nailed it about the cancer. So take it as you will.

I fucking knew it! I knew she was gonna die of pneumonia. I said it in the other thread about her.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Pics or it didn't happen. So far, she's "back" but no one has seen her or photographed her,

So you think all those Conservative judges would collude in covering up for her r172. Get real!

[quote]Friendly reminder that he actually lost by 3 million votes and only won by some fun electoral math.

Friendly reminder that Trump lost California by three million votes and he was denied that state's 55 electoral college votes fairly and squarely as a result.

That "fun electoral math" you refer to is what the real world call the rules that elect every President. You must be as thick-skulled as Robbie Mook if you think a simple nation-wide popular vote is the way the system works.

Honest question here. What if a Supreme Court justice dies but the story is put forward through the media that they're simply working from home while they recuperate from some surgery or accident in order to wait out a sitting president from replacing them? Not necessarily RBG. It could be any Supreme Court justice. Like, say this all happened in September of an election year. Could they stretch out the ruse a couple of months until after the election and then it would be too late for the sitting president to replace him/her? What's stopping this from happening? I can see someone trying it. Kind of like how relatives will cover up an aged relative's death in order to keep stealing her pension checks for as long as they can.

R175, they buried RBG last month. The charade playing out in front of our eyes is even more elaborate than the Jussie Smollett hoax.

Someone needs to ask McTurtle, now that the Democrats have begun the 2020 presidential campaign, is the Gorsuch Rule in effect?

R38 Most Supreme Court appointments for the period 1900 forward.

Reagan appointed 4. Nixon appointed 4. Eisenhower appointed 5. Truman appointed 4. FDR appointed 9. Hoover appointed 3. Harding appointed 4. Wilson appointed 3. Taft appointed 6. Teddy Roosevelt appointed 3.

She returned to the bench today.

[quote] What if a Supreme Court justice dies but the story is put forward through the media that they're simply working from home while they recuperate from some surgery or accident in order to wait out a sitting president from replacing them?

She'll be dead by YE 2019

Praise the Lord she is back at work! I think she will see the year out for sure.

She's fine.

and still no fresh photo. most peculiar

RBG warned today that SCOTUS may be sharply divided over some of the “most watched” cases that remain, and said "the event of greatest consequence of the current term, and perhaps for many terms ahead" is the fact that Kennedy “announced his retirement," @Arianedevogue reports

Yup, retiring under Trump is going to be Kennedy's greatest legacy, and I'm glad. He showed everyone his true colours when he did that.
