Article

This article is correct. Every time POTUS's age and health are discussed in the media, its under much scrutiny and they cast doubt upon him. But an 86 year old zombie gets the opposite treatment and is told from the perspective of how "strong" she is.

quote:

If it were Trump who had been a four-time cancer survivor who could barely walk down three steps, we’d be enduring a media thunderstorm demanding he resign rather than watching sunny profiles of him lifting five pounds with help next to a comedian.


This. The woman has fallen asleep during oral arguments since 2006, falls asleep during State of the Union Addresses, and even fell asleep when Pope Francis addressed Congress. She can't even climb the steps to the dais in the Court unassisted. She's had cancer four times and can barely be heard in court.

But she's immune to criticism from MSM.

Trump once used two hands to hold a water bottle and there was DAYS of coverage on it. RBG has cancer and other problems all the time and the narrative is "she's well and return to the bench soon!"

After age 86, the days do not get better and better and she will not get stronger and stronger. I see the life expectancy for a female in the US is 80.1 years.

If she were a conservative justice, it would be the opposite treatment. In fact, she would probably have been ousted a long time ago. Fighting back against the media has moved to the top of my list of reasons why I support Trump. Appointing conservative judges is a close second.

Are you implying a double standard in the media? Ha! Unpossible!

This. If Clarence Thomas had RBG's issues, they'd be clamoring for him to step down.

Yeah, no argument here. It's a clear double standard.

Why people want her to prolong her suffering is just ghoulish.

Embrace the light Ruth.

Life expectancy for an 86 yo female is 6.5 yrs FYI



ETA obviously with all the cancer history etc, that number would be lower for her

I don't remember the media clamoring for McCain to step down as he was sitting at home dying of brain cancer while still a sitting Senator for the last year of his life. The other Senators and he even the people of Arizona didn't seem to mind either.

At this point, her Secret Servicemen will be played by Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman in any movies
