      Those are Kit-Kat bars, not planks.

        Anyone can find a "less flattering" picture of anyone else. Stripped of context, they mean nothing. Anyone remember the "white power" sign by Zina Bash at the Kavanaugh hearings?

        [ATTACH=CONFIG]32900[/ATTACH]

        Shall we conclude from these out-of-context images that Zina Bash is a white supremacist?

        Come on, guys. You can do better than that.

          PS the whole OK symbol being a racist gesture was a troll made up by 4Chan. It isn't real.

            Sort of... The use actually predates the 4Chan troll - but they took it mainstream...apparently largely to trigger liberals.

              That's a picture of her falling asleep during a State of the Union speech. We know that's what happened because she openly admitted that she fell asleep and that she was drunk at the time.

                uh no. What happened is that some morons went back and found some white supremacists using an OK sign and are trying to claim they were using it as a racist symbol. Just because a white supremacist uses an OK symbol doesn't make it racist. Even if they used it before 4chan created a troll about it.

                  We used it back in high school in the 80's for a game called "ring of pain" where if you looked at it, we could punch you in the arm. It's never been about white power.

                    No - she openly admitted that she had had wine with dinner. "Not 100% sober" is not equal to "drunk." As soon as I take a sip of wine, I'm no longer 100% sober. I'm not necessarily drunk. This is more of the hyperbole that has become common for taking down opponents in this day and age.

                      OK - after digging beyond the Southern Poverty Law center's article on the subject, I find almost all other sources reflect what you are saying here - so I have to adjust my view to align. Apparently, it was picked up after 4Chan and turned into a "troll."

                      Thanks for the correction.

                          She was "not 100% sober" enough to fall dead asleep during a presidential speech. That's pretty darn "not 100% sober".

                          Of course it being Obama, liberals were quick to accuse her of ardent racism.

                          Wait, that didn't happen? Oh well...

                            She's old. That's all it is. She should have stepped down ten years ago. I imagine she'll die a sudden but not entirely unexpected death due to her failing health like Scalia.

                              Meh, we've had older justices. Stevens and Holmes were both 90 when they retired.

                                I heard she's had broken ribs before and fought off cancer and had a organ removed all without missing a day at work. Apparently this time she fell over in her office and carried on with her day, only to later decide it was hurting a bit and thought she needed to get checked out, so went into hospital and they said she'd broken 3 ribs. She seems unstoppable.
