A system that cannot bear the loss of a 87-year old woman because she's the bulwark of the rights of 330 million people and that relies on the morals of four senators to prevent a 78-year old man from rushing through her replacement is a system that is fundamentally broken.

This week has seen the US president join the likes of Bashar al-Assad and Rodrigo Duterte in repeatedly threatening to kill his own people.
BREAKING: Trump is ranting about using the Secret Service to attack protesters, using the “most ominous weapons” and “the most vicious dogs.” He also eluded to protesters being killed, saying people would “at least” be “very badly hurt” if they breached fence.
