Aside from the fact that this makes me terrified, she's also breaking the law. I hope the trainer gets a face mask at least.
Anecdotally the elderly seem less likely to obey the lockdown rules. My 89 year old grandfather is continuing to walk to the local store to buy a newspaper every morning.
She's fit, but she ain't that fit. Someone get her the fuck outta there and have her train at home.
A lot of old people seem to have this DGAF attitude about covid. I don't know if it's because they lived a long life already or what.
I hope that isn't her justification. Her life is as in-need of protection as a world leader right now.
This just reminds me she had a perfect opportunity to step down in 2014 and let Obama pick a young successor but her pride is going to get us a conservative majority.
Well, we're past March now so, according to the rules set in 2016 (Garland was nominated March 16 and we all know that was too late into an election year), we have to leave any court seats vacant until the election is decided. I'm 100% sure Mitch will honor this precedent.
Almost certainly this. They've cheated death for so long this virus couldn't possibly be the thing that takes them out.
After 2016 then yes, but no one could have foreseen the unimaginable collusion between Trump and Senate. The system wasn't perfect, but we had the illusion that it still somehow worked.

Uh Corona is killing cancer survivors very fast when I read about victims there are a lot of cancer survivors in the lists coming out. And people her age can die literally within days after first symptoms.
Republicans have been all about stacking the courts for 40+ years now. It's not a surprise.

Well with the balance now, if Trump gets to replace her or Breyer because they died or he won re-election then we are looking at a conservative majority for my lifetime. Which is why I'm gonna vote for Biden no matter what comes out about him or whatever he does basically.
This is purely anecdotal, but I've been surprised how many respond with defiance when told they are in a high-risk group.
In general, admitting vulnerability is a pretty touchy subject, especially when something sensitive like age is involved. The underlying feeling is pretty understandable but I just hope people don't jeopardize their safety in response.
The refusal to consider Garland was a historic abberation. Don't fall into McConnell's strategy of rewriting history to normalize his disgraceful treacherous attack on the constitution.
Garland in fact was carefully and strategically chosen to avoid McConnell's predicted "regular" obstructionism.
That's probably why she made it to 89.
But yeah - this is a bad move Ruthie.
Mitch between now and November heading to Capitol Hill when a supreme court seat frees up:
And we're allowed to question the strategic viability of the decisions of one of the most important offices in the country.
you know your system of governance is good when its fully reliant on a 89 year old woman not kicking the bucket
My future mother in law is doing the same.
She's in her 70's, is diabetic, a cancer survivor and had a heart attack last year.
It's pissing my fiancee off.
