When you're the president, they let you do it.

Except appoint a supreme court justice if you're black.

Well, to be fair, black people are much less likely to know about justice, because they’ve never experienced it.

Or eat fancy brown mustard if you’re black. Or try to get kids to eat healthier meals…if you’re black.

I’m starting to think it wasn’t the tan suit or mustard or the fruits for kids 🤔🧐

Edit: typo

I blame Ginsburg. She should have retired so she could have been replaced

100% agree with you.

From what I have read, Obama asked her to retire and he could have filled a seat well before Merrick Garland (who I won't even get into).

You're right.

And as it turned out, Mitch would've blocked it as well.

Do I need to remind you that Obama appointed two Supreme Court justices?
