“Vote him out!”


That is the chant that greeted Trump at the US Supreme Court, the venue where justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is lying in state, from the crowds that were gathered outside.

    Good grief, Ruth Bader Ginsburg becomes first woman to lie in state in US Capitol. The headline says it all, really, but what about Rosa Parks? As the article explains: “Rosa Parks […] was previously the only woman who has lain in honor at the Capitol, though not in state, after her death in 2005.”

    Related, Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s personal trainer performs push-ups in front of casket (video): “Bryant Johnson, the trainer who led Ruth Bader Ginsburg through her well-documented workout regime, paid his respects by performing three press-ups as she lay in state at the US Capitol. Ginsburg […] is the first woman and the first Jewish person to receive the honour”. (As an aside, Mr Johnson is Black.)

    Also related,‘Vote him out’: Trump booed while paying respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg (video): “Donald Trump was loudly booed by crowds as he visited the supreme court to pay his respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg […] As the president [sic] and the first lady paused at Ginsburg’s casket, the crowd yelled: ‘Vote him out!’ […]” At first, the protest is difficult to hear, but it rises and rises and becomes unmistakable. Hair furor, pretending grief, clearly (despite wearing a mask) becomes discombobulated and seems to rather abruptly leave.

    The Orange Toddler-Tyrant was NOT there to “pay his respects” to RBG. He was ONLY there because it was an obligation that he could not ignore.
