Don’t you think RBG was dead for a long while, but Trump and Co eventually told the Deep State to announce her death, or they’d force it to be known?
Just way too coincidental for my liking that she dies a couple months before the election like that.
Optimistic me, when this all blows up, we’ll know.
I don’t know of RBG was totally dead, or pining for the fjords in a coma. But she certainly was not functioning for a long time. Very possibly your scenario.
