Does anyone have a timeline for how long Mitch and Trump waited after RBG's death,

that they announced they were going to fill the seat? Or try to?

1. I think I read 47 minutes.

On Rosh Hashanah, no less.

3. I believe there was about an hour

between the announcement of her death and McConnell's anouncement.

That matches the Hill timeline: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/517178-mcconnell-says-trump-nominee-to-replace-ginsburg-will-get-senate-vote

5. Thank you for the link!

McConnell may have to eat his own words, since he was the one that set the precedent. I hope the Dems in the Senate give him hell.

4. her imminent demise was probably well known in political circles so they were ready to go nt

6. As far as I am concerned mitch, trump, and barr's time is way beyond expiration

7. Perhaps an hour or two before the DU finger-waggers...

wanted to tell their distraught fellow DUers to STFU regarding their feelings and reactions.

8. Sickeningly short.

They are complete ghouls. There are no words to express my hatred for these men. They are not even human.

9. Exactly the amount of time

I plan on waiting after Mitch's corpse is in the ground to piss on it

11. Cmon, they've been plotting this for

weeks, or months. They knew she was terminally ill (recall the recent oh so not coincidental list of potential court nominees), and they couldn’t wait to jump on her corpse within minutes. And on Rosh Hashanah, to top it off.

Note that Jewish tradition maintains that a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah is a tzaddik, a person of great righteousness. Obviously, some others do not fit that description. “Who shall be exalted and who shall be brought low?” You be the judge.
