1. He has always been a coward n/t

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

20. that's why all this talk about him not leaving WHEN he loses

doesnt scare me.

[King_Klonopin]

113. He won't do the actual fighting; he will manipulate others to fight for him

inciting people to be violent while he holds their coats and claims no wrongdoing.

He is a coward, but he is also dangerous.

[soothsayer]

2. I wish he'd turn into a pillar of salt

But having to hide makes me happy

[malaise]

6. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[2naSalit]

48. Anything to make it stop!

[meow2u3]

59. He would still poison anyone eating said pillar

I also wish he would turn into a pillar of salt, provided it comes with a warning that anyone who eats the salt would be poisoned.

[soldierant]

116. My thoughts exactly.

It would have to be quickly scooped up for industrial uses and God forbid it should rain and pollute the Potomac.

[meow2u3]

117. Industrial uses would poison unsuspecting Americans

Better off shipping the Trump salt off to Russia so the Kremlin can "enjoy" salty snacks.

[Dan]

87. Only if it promises to rain...

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. no shrubbery, so couldn't do the Spicer maneuver!

Big orange pile of dog shit behind column - pick up needed!

[marble falls]

111. That's the Devon Nunes manuver, too.

[C_U_L8R]

4. A real President stands in front of the pillars

and speaks with the country to heal and unify.

This idiot proves again to be nothing but a small frightened coward.

[KS Toronado]

78. Such a small frightened coward that he ran away after only 10 seconds of "Vote Him Out"

[dubyadiprecession]

5. Now he's going to have to go back to the Whitehouse and cry.

Maybe, Barr can console him and say, the the Supreme Court and the people outside may not like you, but I do.

49. Of course he's lecturing with those accordion hands.

Don’t know how those people can stand that pompous ass.

[Larissa]

99. Whenever he's lying

his arms start flapping like a mechanical chimp with clashing cymbals.

[malaise]

97. But but but

He said he barely heard the Vote him Out - fucking LIAR

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election/donald-trump-ruth-bader-ginsburg-supreme-court-breonna-taylor-boo-chant-b580394.html

Donald Trump said he could “hardly hear” opponents chant “vote him out!” as he stood beside the casket of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Thursday morning, claiming he was too far away to make out what the crowd was saying.Meantime, though the president has not talked to the family of Breonna Taylor, he said he sends his regards to her family and called her death in a police shootout with her boyfriend a sad situation.

On Thursday morning, Mr Trump and First Lady Melania Trump stood atop the high court steps beside Ms Ginsburg’s casket. A few seconds after they emerged, the crowd outside was silent .

============
His face said otherwise

[Grokenstein]

110. We'd be happy to shout it in his ugly face if that would help.

[lunatica]

109. In the bottom photo Trump looks like he's clinching his buttocks

[Larissa]

96. Bill Barr

Would fire up the tear gas. What a collection of brave men we've got here.

[Mike 03]

7. Amazing moment!!!

And another Trump photo op goes up in smoke.

[crickets]

85. Yep, and it's *so* satisfying. nt

[DesertRat]

8. I LOVE watching him squirm as the boos and chants grow louder

[Demovictory9]

9. he is kept in a bubble... only contact with citizens are at those rallies.. must be uncomfortable to

experience reality

[DesertRat]

17. Exactly

"POTUS had an animated conversation outside of the Oval Office" with Meadows and Cipollone after returning from paying his respects to RBG"

Link to tweet

[DeminPennswoods]

24. What conspiracy theory do you think

they are all discussing to account for the boos and "vote him out" chants?

[DesertRat]

33. Maybe planning a "No Booing" Executive Order?

[2naSalit]

50. Probably. ...nt

[Shrike47]

40. Soros paid them all to boo?

[MontanaMama]

55. I booed for free!

[DesertRat]

94. I boo whenever he comes on the tv

I want my Soros check.

[tavernier]

31. And he hates those troglodytes!

[Generic Brad]

106. The same could be said for the MAGAT's

They really think they are going win in November. Are they all due for a rude awakening.

[Demovictory9]

118. yep

[mahatmakanejeeves]

54. The crowd in Geoff Bennett's video is standing on East Capitol Street.

{edited: not "East Capitol Avenue." What was I thinking?}

From their position, they do not have a good view of the front steps of the Supreme Court. Trump and Melania would be barely visible, if at all, to them.

[Blue_playwright]

92. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

[louzke9]

114. SQUIRM????

When I watch this, it appears he is trying to stay awake! His eyes shut and he starts to fall forward only to jerk himself back awake. This happens several times in a short span. Or maybe Trump is trying not to pass out? There is something physical going on here! Trump was probably up all night!

[GoCubsGo]

10. Bunker Boy wishes he had his bunker to hide in, now.

[PunkinPi]

12. K&R

[bhcodem]

13. Respect?

The headlines are all wrong because Trump does not respect anyone!

[Wounded Bear]

14. I don't really support that kind of shit at a memorial service...

It's too Trumpian for me.

Neither side should do it.

[malaise]

18. It's not a memorial service n/t

[bigtree]

19. I don't see a 'side' shouting

...I see Americans using one of the only opportunities they've had to reach the ears of the man who is repressing them.

[Totally Tunsie]

88. Exactly. His own rallies are a "side...his.

It's time he got a dose of reality from a crowd that wasn't pre-scrubbed for their compliance to the tRumpiness. It's a shock to be back in the real world, eh, donnie?

[kacekwl]

35. Are you kidding ? No better way to show respect

to RBG. The man is hated for good reason.

[Caliman73]

56. He has no business being there, president or not. He dishonors her memory just by being there.

It is completely appropriate for people to redress their grievances with their "government" at any time. He took the job and fucked it up so bad that he doesn't get invited to Senators' funerals, Funerals for civil rights icons, or other events that every other President is expected to be at. Trump is fair game wherever he goes. You think Ginsberg would want his stupid ass there?

Trump respects no one and his presence there at the head of the casket of an icon of women's rights, a judicial trailblazer, is a slap in the face.

[pandr32]

66. Along with his wife

She doesn't have any business being there either.

[LizBeth]

64. They did not tell Trump during his rally fearful they would be excited and cheer RBG death.

Trump is hypocritically packing SC losing rights for so many.

I could not disagree with you more.

[Hekate]

67. Fortunately, it is not a memorial service at all. She's "lying in state" &if these were normal times

...her coffin would be indoors and thousands of people would be filing by. Instead we see her coffin outside the building, and the building has those lousy “keep your peasant selves away” Trump-barriers around the stairs.

[LW1977]

75. Your "concern" is noted

[LanternWaste]

102. You're referring to idiot Trump's very presence there as "that kind of shit", yes?

[gratuitous]

15. A thief in the night

Slips out of the Supreme Court building, hoping to go unnoticed. When the crowd realizes he's there, there's a sound like scalded cats for about 20 seconds that finally coalesces into a "Vote him out" chant. After putting up with that for a few seconds, Trump and the Third Lady skulk back into the safety of the building.

[Takket]

16. He's not hiding behind the pillar

It is the angle the picture was taken from. Here is the head on photo.

[Kingofalldems]

30. Sure looks like he moved away here:

Link to tweet

[bigtree]

34. something his team will likely argue as they dismiss the pics and footage

...the image is unmistakable to most of us who know this to be a literal truth about Trump and his bunker mentality. Trump hiding from Americans confronting him, and slinking away into the recesses of government installations.

No need at all to clarify what we see with our own eyes. No cause at all to defend him by providing another angle he can use to isulate himself from our impressions. This is the image most Americans will see and understand.

[MineralMan]

21. Secret Service Probably Put Him There.

Too much exposure to a crowd that couldn't be fully screened, I'm guessing.

VOTE HIM OUT!

[bigtree]

25. you do understand this is about impressions

...this one reinforced by the reality of his bunker presidency.

[MineralMan]

29. Yes, of course it is. I'm just pointing out

something that could well be true. That it adds to the impression of Trump hiding in a bunker is coincidental.

[LanternWaste]

103. Fascinating nt

[MineralMan]

105. Hello there...

[malaise]

39. Yep - and he is the King Con of impression management

Manage this coverage MoFo

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

23. lol. his mask is almost covering his eyes.

i guess he cant pull it down, cuz he has too many chins.

[Larissa]

95. I think his mask is upside down

At least he didn't have to sign a waiver saying he wouldn't sue if he catches Covid-19.

[Roland99]

26. a few seconds after the "Vote him out!" chant starts, he turns and slinks away

[Grammy23]

28. Awkward!

[world wide wally]

27. I'm sure he will blame it on the mask

[dalton99a]

32. Fucking coward:

[iluvtennis]

36. So interesting that he believes in wearing a mask at Supreme Court, but not in White House or at

his cult rallies. Fkn coward.

[Ilsa]

77. His mask is worn so strangely.

It's almost covering his eyes, barely under his chin. Too bad it didn't cause him to trip and break his neck.

[iluvtennis]

84. trip and break his neck 😂🤣😂. nt

[Blue Owl]

37. He wouldn't want to have to shake hands with any disgusting people

n/t

[barbtries]

38. he literally cannot remain still

for 30 seconds.
this is beautiful. considering what he's planning to do at election time, it's very, very heartening. he will lose.

[Talitha]

41. Wish I was there!

Dump obviously didn't want to do this... sucks to be him.

[Tanuki]

65. He will be furious at the people on his staff who told him he should show up.

He will be absolutely enraged.

[yaesu]

42. IT is faking empathy, IT is not welcome there. nt

[moondust]

43. "Can we start dancing yet?"

(Mask good at hiding fish lips.)

[UTUSN]

44. Loved it, *YET* I remember WELLSTONE's memorial and OBAMA's roasting SHITLER

And the blowback we got over those.

[bigtree]

52. except this isn't the right wing's SC Justice laying in state

...its their Putin-loving coward of a president being bluntly schooled by a non-descript line of mourners gathered to show their respects that they don't appreciate his mere presence, much less his entire being.

Give it another minute for Trump to open his mouth about the late Justice and you'll wish you were there jeeering him.

[UTUSN]

57. I already wished I was there jeering him everywhere. He has already badmouthed her.

I'm talking about potential blowback. That's what we got from the WELLSTONE service and OBAMA's roast. Believe me, I fully understand and share the mourners' jeering.

[bigtree]

60. that isn't our party on the line there, it's mourners of every stripe

...directly registering their complaints to this interloper to the proceedings.

Like I said, it will be just a minute until Trump trashes Justice Ginsburg (again) - having virtually announced his intention to replace her on the day of her death - and no one can credibly claim that the crowd of mourners was unjustified in their anger at the arrogance and gall of Trump to pretend to pay respects. He's there for one purpose, to rub his assumed power in our faces. There's nothing republicans have on mourners there which trumps that.

[UTUSN]

69. U and I are on the same wavelength, just posting my impression. I *TOTALLY* shared

the WELLSTONE mourners' jeering the Repuke congresscritters, OBAMA's roast, and now the GINSBURG mourners (of whom I am one). I never said the jeers at SHITLER were unjustified. I am simply noting that OUTSIDE VIEWERS who are not politically committed are potentially swayed with distaste.

What I *do* disagree with you about is that these are "mourners of every stripe." I really really doubt that there are significant numbers of wingnuts, Repukes, or Deplorables among the GINSBURG mourners.

I often have a bit off-kilter, unfiltered impressions that seem to irritate my soulmate Dems.

[bigtree]

73. we're not strangers here

...

[Caliman73]

58. Please elaborate.

What happened at Wellstone's memorial? Also, are you talking about when President Obama made fun of Donald Trump during the Correspondents' Dinner?

[UTUSN]

62. Our Dem/Progressive mourners booed and jeered at the Repuke congresscritters arriving.

which got us the blowback of some who viewed it.

and, yes, the dinner that is said to have tipped SHITLER into running out of spite.

[betsuni]

70. Trump has been planning to run for president since the '80s.

The reason he married Marla Maples is because he thought it would help him, if he ran for president, with Southern voters. His first run was in 2000. The idea that he decided to run because of that dinner is incorrect.

[UTUSN]

72. He had been "flirting" with it until somebody told him to crap or get off the toilet and

I'm sure you have heard that the roasting burned him up and was a factor of whatever slight amount to push him into it.

You know, we all have our impressions, there's no earthshaking right or wrong answer here.

[Caliman73]

74. You do understand that we will always get blowback.

We cannot stop expressing ourselves because right wingers are perpetual victims.

They will always complain and the media will run with it because conflict sells. We are "expected to be polite" but they can do whatever horseshit they want. We cannot continue to let that frame stand.

Trump called Obama's citizenship and legitimacy into question in a racist way. President Obama responded with very light ribbing. It may well have made Trump want to run out of spite. It, however, explains nothing about how he was taken seriously as a candidate and how he got elected. Those are issues of the complete ROT within the Republican Party and of the complicity of the media to normalize an idiot like Trump.

President Obama's making fun of Trump had NOTHING to do with why that idiot is in the White House.

What we need to do is fight back on the framing. People are exercising their right to criticize an idiot who threatens the very Democracy that RBG fought her whole life, to defend. The office of the presidency has been so debased by Trump that his presence ANYWHERE does nothing to honor anything.

[UTUSN]

80. Why, yes, I *do* understand, thanks for explaining to me.

The point in your reply that I will clarify is that I didn't say the roasting had anything to do with SHITLER being in the White House. I said it tipped him into running. He had been "flirting" with running for years, mostly for his ego self-stroking and pondering that it would make money for the brand, plus that it is widely reported that he never expected to win all the way to Election Night. It is also widely reported that the roasting burned him up, plus that some in his circle told him to crap or get off the toilet after hearing him "flirt" about it for so long.

I really don't think that I can be accused of not "exercising my right to criticize" SHITLER.

O.K., am vacating this particular battle.

[onetexan]

45. Despicable coward. Good to see the Con squirm with shame. He doesn't deserve to visit RBG given

he's already disrespecting her by replacing her seat w a RW'er. Thank you protesters! Good that he got yelled at and boo'ed.

[llashram]

46. my only wish is

they could have been in his and malaria's face

[hatrack]

47. Wobble, Wobble, Sway, Sway, Weight-shift, Weight-shift, Weight-shift . . . .

He can't even stand still for 30 seconds.

[canuckledragger]

51. This calls for a song...

[malaise]

61. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Perfect

Vote that fucker out!

[Botany]

53. Going for a Nicolae Ceaușescu moment Donny?

Nicolae Ceaușescu was giving a speech in late December 1989 in Bucharest and then the
crowd turned on him. Donny is scared in that picture.

[smirkymonkey]

107. If only!

I have been hoping for that for a long time.

[gademocrat7]

63. A fitting rebuke for a despicable man.

Vote him out!

[SpankMe]

68. At least he went, and wore a mask.

I hate the "man" more than anything. But, I'll take any little thing from him that looks like proper protocol.

[bigtree]

71. why? He's all but announced his intention to invalidate the election

...but he wore a mask and showed up to gloat at RGB's wake, and that makes it okay?

We're like frogs in boiling water.

[malaise]

76. Ditto

Bangs head

[yuiyoshida]

79. oh look!! He is wearing a mask!

Well it was just very satisfying to watch Dear Leader's expression when the crowd shouted VOTE HIM OUT !

[calimary]

81. Awwwwww, whatsamatter, donnie boy? AFRAID??? You feel like you gotta HIDE???

You SCAAAAAAARED? Of some little people CHANTING at you? And they're not "saying nice things" about you? Maybe you should go to one of those dictators you like so much, who say nice things about you. Cuz you WON'T get it from US!

[raccoon]

82. It warms my heart to hear them saying that. NT

[sarge43]

83. Good

and the candyass cut and ran.

[DeminPennswoods]

86. Looked like he was

getting ready to take a leak.

[bearssoapbox]

89. You think Trumplethinskin has been a spiteful SOB up to now?

After hearing the chants and seeing all those people against him. He'll use everything he can get from Putin and the traitorous Rethuglicons to stay in power.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think we've seen anything yet when it comes to him staying on as the "Supreme Leader".
He's as much as said so on tv and from behind a podium.
His mental state has been spiraling out of control & he's not done yet.

[samsingh]

91. the traitor is hiding

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

93. Um, no.

Trump arrives at the Supreme Court to pay respects to judicial icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg...

He is not there to pay respects to RBG. That mfer never pays.

[Yavin4]

98. "They're saying Booooourns"

[BlueWavePsych]

100. The Cowardly Bunker Boy

[BlueWavePsych]

101. YouTube - Trump booed by crowd on the steps of the Supreme Court

[live love laugh]

104. He said he didn't hear them 🙄🙄

[warmfeet]

108. He is practicing for prison.

Hide, that is his strategy.

112. Did he hold up a bible?

Seriously, what the fuck is he doing there?

Get the fuck out, ya piece of shit.
