The death of supreme court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was announced while President Trump was holding a campaign rally.
At the conclusion of the rally President Trump approached the media and found out for the first time that Justice Ginsburg had passed. This was his immediate reaction:
First he heard of it from a reporter.
This was predictable, to up the rage level on the left to infinity. They have to nominate a judge, can’t have a 4-4 tie during a potentially contested election.
Derangement syndrome,
If you honestly believe that there is actually an election ‘contest’ for 2020, then I honestly believe your screen name is appropriate. I believe neither.
Fear not treepers. Potus got this. Mitch is corrupt. Mitch wants his tribute. They already cut a deal. That’s what the new scotus list was about. They knew. They made a deal. Mitch already has the votes. Thats why he released his statement tonight. He has the votes. He doesn’t lose big votes. Now the kabuki theatre begins. But always remember. Mitch has the votes already. And since he is up for reelection he will not double cross potus. Mitch already approved Trump’s pick and counted the votes. The hand ringing is all for show.
Good observations. I believe you could be correct.
He doesn’t lose big votes..? Obamacare?
That vote went exactly as McConnell’s paymasters wanted, including McCain getting to stick it to Trump.
“They made a deal. ”
Whom do you think got the better side of the deal? Do you think the pick is a reliable conservative or a half-lefty RINO?
Derangement Syndrome,
Well at least PDJT didn’t get it from the news? Getting it from a reporter is getting it from the news??
The games will begin.
Nothing to faze our President Donald J Trump. ???
POTUS Trump is a class act
My exact reaction . . .
all humanistic
not a trace of politicking
Yup, lands on his feet.
The best part being that it’s not an act.
so true!
Unlike Bill Clinton (from Rush Limbaugh TV archives):
I like the way you cleared up class act…
“…… it’s NOT an act.”
“ If you describe someone or something as a class act, you mean that they are impressive and of high quality. “
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/class-act
Both ways of describing him work for me:
1. He is a class act
2. Except it isn’t an act
Although there could very well be a certain “level of diplomacy and tact” there… I’m sure he knows all there is to know of her history, with so much of it being disgusting and repugnant to most of us I would imagine.
yes
kimossabe,
My only reaction after watching the video – what a class act. A gentleman to the core.
For what it’s worth, almost all of the initial comments on this video were very positive even from liberals. Quite a moment. It was truly the one, unscripted, brief but beautiful and sincere moment in a sea of insanity. Made my hair stand up on end. It was a powerful window into his soul and I truly believe he just won the election the moment he put up his hands in that clip, as if to say, hey, you know what? In spite of it all, there must be decency at this moment in time.
That said…now…it’s ON!
Clean shirt, new shoes
Knows exactly where he’s goin’ to
Silk suit, striped tie,
America is his reason why
ZZ Top. I had to go listen to it so it would stop playing in my head … although that’s not a bad thing.
Yes, a good man! The media just couldn’t wait to tell him. Ba
He was compassionate and sincere. Perfect comment,
I hate the comments that say he was lying — that say he had heard the news already.
Trump is a man who has no quile
President Trump is an amazing person. And leader.
Well, he’s gotta say something nice. But I bet he says something different to Melania??
You and me both, and don’t forget nimrodman! I thought the same thing… 😉
Trump’s life has been full of opportunities. This is just one more.
Why does that say 2019?
That was aired January 21, 2019.
When she wasn’t dead? Or was dead but no one knew?
Right. Long time on ice, eh? Maybe! Who could know with these evil psycho’s that have taken over…
Shhhhh!!!
How did that happen on Faux News a year ago without confirmation ?
As a last request, RBG said she didn’t want her seat filled as long as President Trump was in office. I guess they held out as long as they could. 👿
She had her chance when Obama was president and chose to cling to power.
That’s what I said!
Yeah, I sort of had a similar feeling that they may have kept her “on ice” for a bit. Hey it would not be the first time that was done.
This moment is going to be very political and will put the process into a tailspin. On the one hand, many (possibly including the President) Republicans may not wish to seem unkind and rush a nomination; however, if the Democrats go through with the whole challenge plan, this will not be pretty and I am sure they are aware of it.
Troublesome times indeed.
Yes, but what difference does it make to the democrats, because they said they were going to stack the court! So, this nomination should make no difference!!!
Well at least one of the two of them was gracious about her departure.
Well if that was her wish then she should have left when obama was President. I’m certain she knew she wouldn’t outlast President Trump.
Exactly
They all thought Hillary was going to win. I believe they then expected to do some girl empowerment hand off in Hill ‘s first term….oh well ?
Bingo. 🙂
You can’t always get what you want. Should be a campaign song.
https://gothamist.com/news/video-local-abc-anchor-accidentally-reports-hillary-clintons-death
You believe that? The enemedia that will tell you the sky is yellow if they think it’ll make PDJT look bad is now telling us that her “dying wish” was to not be replaced until after the election? Not buying it. Somebody else that will benefit financially from making this up is issuing the dying proclamation. I’ll borrow from my kids: “if it’s not on video then it didn’t happen”.
That means waiting eight more years. Trump has two terms left
Trump 2024
Wow! She cleans up nice.
free2313, Did you ever consider that Hillary might have died at the 911 event as was reported at the time in a hospital in the bronx and that she has been replaced with a double? After Hillary collapsed her obvious double came out onto the street in Manhattan waving to the media looking just fine. She was wearing different clothing and she had a completely different hair cut than Hillary had just an hour before. she was also without a security detail which would never have been allowed.
That is weird…..it is 2020.
I watched a fairly recent interview of RBG I was hoping to find some chinks in her mental capacity, Instead I learned that she had a stupendous sense of humor enhanced by a quick wit and delivery. Although political opposites I did develop a healthy respect for her intellect and reasoning.
She is an icon.
A supremely intelligent person and yes a very quick wit. Not being a liberal, I did not agree with her positions on most cases, but there is no denying her abilities and intelligence. She served her country and did her job to the best of her ability, whether we agree with her decisions or not. I respected her far more than the other women currently sitting on the court and some of the men too. Sorrry if that isn’t the majority opinion here, but that’s my opinion about her.
This is the Dems worst nightmare happening right before the election. More chaos added to what we are already facing. 2020 is sure a bang up year isn’t it and it doesn’t seem to be letting up one bit.
Testament to that is the fact that she and A. Scalia were besties. They couldn’t have had much in common regarding Constitutional issues, but were fast friends in life.

To have been liked by Scalia, she’d have to be sharp
Ruth has brought new meaning to the term “October Surprise.” Unless Joe wants to add to it.
POTUS,
A real man, not a politician. This is the heartfelt reaction we all expected.
Just as I expected. I have the utmost respect for President Trump.
POTUS,
A real man, not a politician. This is the heartfelt reaction we all expected.
Donald Trump has exhibited CLASS 100% his entire life. Nothing has changed since being elected President.
NIce reaction, then he went into the plane, sat down, order a tall Diet Coke with a real plastic straw and started making calls. Lots of calls. Fast.
Most normal folks will have the same reaction, sympathy for the family and acknowledgement of her service to the nation. That being said, full speed ahead on a new justice. POTUS is elected to serve a full four years. There are no exceptions in the constitution for politics. You could bet your last dollar that if the shoe were on the other foot, the dems would already have a new nominee. Finally a conservative majority on the court…..take that Roberts.
ex101st:
“You bet your last dollar if the shoe were on the other foot etc”
Exactly! And do you know why the SHOE IS NOT ON THE OTHER FOOT?
Because Repubs have a MAJORITY MAJORITY MAJORITY! And the Senator that said the President’s nominee would get a Senate vote is RINO MITCH MCCONNELL!
I had that emphasis only for those that love to Rino-bitch beyond all sense of logic.
RINO’S MATTER?
VOTE REPUBLICAN TOP TO BOTTOM!
LIKE!!!!
May I add –
SHOWING UP FOR PRIMARIES MATTERS!
Else the RINOS will never meet their long overdue disappearance from GOP-nia.
POTUS is priceless.
That’s why D.C. can’t get him. In 2016 I said I’m voting for the human being
Awesome statement Paper Doll.
??????????
“I’m voting for the human being.”
That is the truest explanation for why he was elected that I have ever heard.
Love it, Paper Doll! I said I was voting for the person who loves the country!! God bless him!!
?
Trump was gracious and apoitical.
Schumer issued a tweet on how the nomination should wait until after the election. Then Schumer tweeted his condolences to the Ginsburg family. Priorities.
Schumer is and has always been pond scum.
Please don’t insult pond scum.
This blog has standards and we don’t just go around insulting pond scum for no reason.
Bwahahaha!
He handled this with such grace and class….Disappointing the vast majority of the reporters gathered there.
I find it disappointing that so many comments in this thread are dissing that his response was honest and spontaneous and saying that was lying about not knowing.
The reaction of a real person with real class.
What an incredible man, there are lots of things he could have said and yet he chose to honor her with his first words after hearing of her death.
As usual, our amazing President had a perfect response.
May she rest peacefully. She endured much discomfort. We will move forward toward reestablishing the nation she endeavored to disassemble.
well worded 1800e – nice comment
Expressing her opinion that she preferred the recent untested constitution of South Africa over our Constitution was beyond the pale or jumping the shark to me! That was unconscionable for a Supreme Court Justice to believe yet alone say it publicly!
That is atrocious… I didn’t know of her saying such a thing, I’m hoping the google will let me look it up (and find it).
Oh she said it alright. Along with many other unconstitutional things.
May she rest peacefully. She endured much discomfort. We will move forward toward reestablishing the nation she endeavored to disassemble.
How could no one have prepped him on what the media would be hitting him with? Seems like he truly didn’t know, and he handled it with class, but how could that happen?
MostlyRight, her death isn’t a national emergency so no one interrupted him during the peaceful political protest I suppose.
I think he was briefed before getting off the plane for the rally,
Or he learned it from CNN /s
In any case, PDJT showed real class and as usual was able to answer any question, prepared or not.
He said it was the first he’d heard it. Why are you saying he’s lying?
Nope, just saying he knew RBG was in her last hours.
I’m talking about waiting, and then having someone ready to tell him in that space in time between ending the speech and walking to the press. He either knew, or his people dropped the ball. It was big enough news for it to be the first thing he heard from his staff before being in front of media.
I saw so many in the crowd trying to tell him… I think he was in an unreachable place as he spoke and as he walked toward the plane. .. How odd it is that in this age it has become so fascinating to watch someone right there in the middle of a crowd, in this case perhaps the most important person in the world, and know that –everyone — knows but him. We have become birds in a flock…
No, I’d bet he knew…his aids and or Security would have informed him immediately.
But he let the press have their “scoop”. That’s kind of classy on his part as well.
It also gave him a pass on having any prepared remarks, which might have been longer and would be pounced on for more unjust criticism by the bloodthirsty press.
I think he handled it perfectly.
GB, spot on. If he didn’t know before deplaning (RSBN said it was unusual for the plane to park where it did and PDJT took some time to head to the podium.) PDJT knew on the way to the presser.
What a classy and gracious leader.
May she rest peacefully. She endured much discomfort. We will move forward toward reestablishing the nation she endeavored to disassemble.
“May she rest peacefully” …. I’ve prayed so. It may difficult with millions of unborn children in Heaven that never experienced life on earth due to her evilness.
Agree, the unborn need the voice Ginsberg took. Evil comes in many shapes and colors, female or male – no one escapes what they’re due.
I like when he raised his hands and closed his eyes before speaking… He had just finished an hour and a half speech at the end of a long day… The rally was still echoing in him… You could see him trying to block it all out and find a place, inside, from which to speak, from which to speak for the whole nation and not just himself…
yeah, I’m pretty sure the Elton John song was the first one played as he left the stage
so not a lot of time passed before he was questioned
Seems like half of Twitter is threatening to torch the system tonight because they feel they are losing….
https://mobile.twitter.com/SomeBitchIKnow/status/1307130955308634114
They will fall into their own evil traps. They will
never learn.
I read thru some of the posts–all unhinged, violent and losing their sh*t!
Wow, that was interesting!
So instead of mourning a woman that they supposedly cherished enough to develop a deep “cult of personality” about, they would rather destroy and burn things. What a lovely send off.
The idiot journalist who is inciting riots needs to be arrested or have her nose rearranged. Real tough on twitter, not so much in real life.
An aside, I went down the line and noticed two things:
1. Michael Hayden was in the mix (Mr. Grenell answered him effectively), and that is never good. A neocon and deep statist of the highest order, who would not know patriotism if he was hit in the head with it repeatedly.
2. Tulsi is wearing the red and talking about ballot harvesting. About two months ago I wrote how I could see a positioning of a Nikki / Tulsi ticket, but I was not sure which color it would end up under (could easily go either way and will in fact be another uni-party idea). Guess it will be red.
Not a ticket that I want or would support mind you, but I can see the gaming.
Tulsi is not interested in 2place, I’m thinking and sure as heck not behind Niki. The Dem party will come home to mother Tulsi in 2024. She ‘s really all they got after they have destroyed themselves this year.
paper doll,
Much respect, but I have to disagree. By 2024, they will be ready to go full clown car (Nancy and Chuck will be long gone, Bernie too), so I did think a Tulsi / Nikki DNC run was unlikely, but have sinced ruled it out.
Tulsi will go back on Rogan, get lots of praise for being so moderate and will “head red”. My guess is she will take the under card for just getting over to the party. So it will more than likely be a Nikki / Tulsi ticket if it ever comes to fruition (remember she is cancelling Netflix when the rest of that party cannot wait to watch little girls being used).
To some degree this is me goofing off a bit, and to some degree I think it is possible, with the cards are being aligned. Too early to say anything conclusively. Alone, neither one of them can beat Noem outright (this is not me saying who I would vote for, but just watching the wind), but together becomes a different story.
Thanks for the reply.
Best,
Simple Citizen
Dear simple citizen, what does “wearing the red” mean?
Nevermind, I understand it to mean in the conservative/republican manner.
Just a joke to indicate that they may have chosen which banner to fly a Tulsi / Nikki – Nikki / Tulsi ticket under, which might indicate Republican (after all she is also challenging ballot harvesting in the clip — will make some Dems pretty upset).
Honestly, if I am even vaguely correct, it is a uni-party ticket and which party they choose to call it would not matter. It would be either Coke or Pepsi, as both of them would not want one of the other independent parties to try out; they just aren’t big enough names for these ladies.
Thanks for the question.
Nikki Haley is NOT constitutionally nbc qualified. Both of her parents were NON citizens at her birth.
As opposed to torching the entire system before RBG died anyway.
They’re always going to do what they are going to do. There is no appeasing them. You need to crush them. They would spit on your grave.
“They’re always going to do what they are going to do.”
– Exactly… the Martyrs are always changing/growing, but the ‘Do’ and the true purpose behind the ‘Do’ never does.
At least we’ll get a break from BLM worship and Covidism for a bit… although, maybe that is actually a bad thing… hmm..
It also provides cover for Trump to move aggressively on other things as attention is diverted. We know that Trump always moves forward on all fronts.
President Trump’s reaction was very moving upon hearing of RBG’s death.
His sincerity shines through him. WE love him for that. He is our voice.
The President showed real class. As always. Quite a difference from the last administration.
Order flags at half staff
I was irate four years ago when all the flags were all the way up following the sudden death of Scalia.
Already done.
She was a trailblazer for communists.
Scalia was murdered by the previous admin. They wanted his seat for one of their own. They never thought Killary would lose.
sonshineandrain,
Now wait a minute = ) ! Hold the phone!
You mean that you do not go to bed with a pillow on your face and press it really hard? Are you un-American?
Certainly, I try it every night, and I just seem to cough. Where the mask all day, then put the pillow on my face at night so that I don’t infect others. = )
Best,
Simple Citizen
I’m not President Trump:
It was either that or the song “I love a parade”.
Wow, that was fun, never saw the movie! Thanks!
That doesn’t seem possible.
I know. I’m embarrassed ! I have 3 kids and 4 grandkids and still have never seen the Wizard of Oz! I have the pop-up book though. I marveled at what Hollywood put into the production, just from the part you put on. Must be a fab movie!
It’s a great movie. It’s not all musical. I think you should give yourself a treat and watch it. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid/teen, we watched it every year when I was a kid. ?
Robert, I find your comment to MelH hysterical. Succinct.
I also do not understand how he could not see the Wizard of Oz in his lifetime….However, I have never seen Saving Private Ryan, and apparently that is also unbelievable to some!
Interesting factoid I learned from wiseGEEK (I subscribe to their emails). Anyway, when Dorothy, the scarecrow, lion and tin man fell asleep in the field and it snowed on them…. they didn’t have fake snow back then – it was asbestos. Before they discovered the dangers of asbestos, it was also used in Christmas decorations, fake Christmas trees, etc, as flocking. .
They used to press it into roofing tiles and house siding too. I was exposed in the USN where they used it as an insulative wrap for the steam piping in the engine room where I worked. Once exposed it goes airborne and infiltrates the lungs.
Like!
Class, nothing but class.
I love this man!!
lol, don’t forget “hey fat”!
There is a montage of photos of Justice Ginsburg’s life on MSN. I almost fell over when I saw one of the photos. It’s Biden with his arm around the Justice, leaning in to her in a way we all now recognize. Amazingly poor taste to include it. But perhaps its inclusion was deliberate – inferring Biden was best buds with the Justice…
I call that Class! Well Done Mr PRESIDENT!
Wow!
President Trump handled the information well.
Also, I was sort of surprised because it was similar to what I was thinking when I came on here today, and saw the first thread.
Although I never agreed with her, and felt the cult of personality was stifling at times, she did have an amazing life. Probably a good idea to pray for a sound transition and just acknowledge her life on Earth.
He was just a heck of a lot more succinct than I am being right now, and I really appreciated his overall statement. Certainly, he will give her respect and make sure that the Executive Branch does whatever it can to support her final internment.
Although I do have many thoughts on the matter, I am going to leave this post simple.
Best…

Time to get after it. Somebody call Mitch!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1307146028555014145?s=20
Well done.
A phony eulogy for a Marxist pig. Sorry, I have to tell it as it is. You can all bitch at me but this woman would have voted for the mail in voter fraud when it inevitably reaches the supreme court. If the democrats get their voter fraud we lose both President Trump and the country. Please do NOT feel sorry for this horrible woman.
It is okay to feel sympathy for her family’s loss… nearly everyone, no matter how good/evil has someone or many someones that truly loved them and will miss them. Mourning loss is common to all.
That said… I totally get where you’re coming from and while I don’t grave dance I *am* thankful she vacated her seat.
devil,Amen

Don’t forget peach mints
He handled her death with grace and class. the RINOS and Dems won’t give him a break.. ‘Pray for our country.The Dems are going to go ballistic over this..
Perfect response PT … and a captivating speech.
A woman whose rulings aided and abetted the deaths of millions of unborn children. I cannot mourn her passing, or call her life amazing. She was given incredible power, and chose to use it to the detriment of her fellow human beings for 27 long years.
Damned right. She was aMarxist pig.
Agreed. I feel for her family, mourning is mourning, but she facilitated infanticide in America. Unforgivable.
And wanted to lower the age of consent to 12!
Thanks for that reminder…. Last week I was speaking to some one and referred to her as o e of Satan’s meat puppets….My opinion has not changed….perhaps she sincerely asked forgiveness…i will find out later …much later I hope.
The moment where you see into one’s soul, what a person is truly made of, without an assistant, script or teleprompter.
Kindness and respect.
I wonder if the President ever had more than a brief conversation with her. It would have been an interesting one I’m sure.
Potus’ reaction was graceful in light of the circumstances. We are living in crazy times.
Potus’ reaction was graceful in light of the circumstances. We are living in crazy times.
Waiting for the Left to lose their minds at the funeral events.
I wonder if she will get as many funerals as George Floyd had.
If this whole 2020 thing doesn’t work for President Trump, I think Trump should join the world poker tour. This man is the Master of politics, no doubt about that. And I am so glad he is on our side.
Classy.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be buried next to her husband Martin in Arlington Cemetery. He was a veteran. I never knew her first name was Joan.
My guess is that it will be Circuit Court judge and Notre Dame Law School professor Amy Cony Barrett, whom I would have chosen in the beginning over all others for SOTUS.
Both a physically beautiful lady, and deeply principled; as well as a true lover of the law.
It doesn’t need to be a female; but in this case, why not?
_And_ she’s a Hoosier. _And_ she has seven kids.
By the way, apropos of her Catholicism, did you catch Biden’s derogatory comment about the President’s march to
“THAT PROTESTANT CHURCH?”
Who says Joe has dementia? He’s making an under-handed play for the catholic vote in WI and PA with that comment. Unbelievable!
Maybe, but faithful Catholics aren’t buying what Joe is selling.
The last time, wasn’t the media was saying “cult”?
I think that was Senator Feinstein “The dogma lives loudly within you”.
Oh, yes!
And if she were a socialist, they’d be saying she’s ‘devout!’
A devout, austere, dedicated to family legal scholar!
SCOTUS!
Not SOTUS (whatever that is!)
She was an amazing MARXIST woman who totally disliked the United States constitution.
Now at least we have a chance to stop the mail in voter fraud.
Justice Roberts in my opinion is being blackmailed and he is likely too much of a coward to come clean about it. He would likely sell the country to those who plan to finish it with his swing vote on mail voter fraud, an issue that is unquestionably going to end up in the supreme court. Now at least we have at least a chance that it can be stopped.
Read about what this Marxist pig of a woman said about our constitution that she was sworn to protect:
https://www.dailysignal.com/2012/02/08/justice-ginsburg-i-would-not-look-to-the-u-s-constitution/
PS: Regarding my sympathy for her and all Marxists – communists, you will find it listed in the dictionary between sh!t and syphilis. I take my freedom very seriously and I will never tolerate Marxists – communists who’s agenda is to take it away.
Devilbat, I feel your passion and it’s why I can’t stomach talking to some family members.
slowcobra, I feel your pain. Think of it this way, as far off as your family may be in their thinking, you are on the side that will protect them. what more can you do?
Thank you devilbat. They are so disrespectful to my dad’s legacy (their grandfather, and father in law of 40 yrs) as he was a WWII veteran. It makes me sick.
You mention your freedom, and that’s what reminds me of all of our veterans and how they fought for our freedom.
In today’s democrat party, to vote democrat is to vote anti-American.
I was going to google for that info, thank you SO much for posting it!
New hashtag trending…this is at the top. So they finally pulled the plug on ole Ruthie to excite the base and get them funds…same they did for the planned riots. ActBlue strikes again.
That’s what I said!
Joe wasn’t getting the job done of exciting the base. They are excited now!
They will do whatever they want with your money as soon as you hand it over.
Sadly, I was correct…
