This is the news today. A screed posing as journalism that uses half its ink to quote some guy named "Rocky" they found in the street to give cover for the usual negative spin. This is why I get my news from Twitter. Lots of Rockys there, too. But also lots of smart people, and lots of supporting videos.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And now Trump and his fellow R's are undermining notions of 'equality for all people' as they try to stack courts to get justices who'll strike back measures that have tried to make the country more equitable for all people and as they get even more support from white nationalist movements in the US and around the globe.

Who is that masked man? It's not the Lone Ranger. It's old Potus himself who finally found a use for a mask: not donning one to lead the nation by example, but rather to hide his face and cover his shame or, shamelessness.

Time and place, people. Clearly they're not ready to rise above the low levels that they perceive the president.

"Vote Him Out" and then "Lock Him Up". Oh, and Boooooooooo!!!

Trump lied, 200,000 people died.
Never forget!

Don’t forget the time he gave a speech to the UN General Assembly where they actually laughed at him for proclaiming all the stupendous things he had done. That was a highlight for me because he never puts himself before anything but a partisan crowd.
Maybe Bonespurs should try facing reality a little more often. It isn't the media that hates him, it is the majority of the world.

Just don’t take a knee.

Normally I’m not into booing, but if there’s one person who deserves it, it’s Trump.
Oh, she’s so clever. Just say magic words like swamp, far-left socialist, Sleepy Joe, and MAGA, and Trump’s cult followers will salivate like Pavlov dogs.
Mickelicious
Awww! Look at the little POTUS badge on little Donald's big scary mask.

That's a great comeback when you find yourself unable to express a cogent counterpoint. How clever!
Haaa Nemui
she must hear it every day then.
mtuffizi
it is a shame that he stood there, she believed in equality for all people and
he doesn't even know what equality means.

Most funerals are solemn affairs and should not be hijacked by political demonstrators - extremely disrespectful!
FizzBit
Of course he was booed. These ANTIFA, BLM protestors know they’ll never amount to anything in life besides being total losers and criminals. Of course they don’t have the intelligence or upbringing to show respect where respect is due. Ginsberg was a highly intelligent and driven person. All her accomplishments where wiped aside because of some dum&ass@s.

Now now people. We shouldn't stoop to Trump's level and boo at a solemn event. It's best to keep taking the high road and not be petty like Trump would in the nearly four years worth of insulting and degrading tweets he has spewed forth against people.
funkymofo
Defending a man who has sexually assaulted 26 women is worse, Kayleigh.
Serrano
President Donald Trump was booed Thursday as he paid respects to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Quite unbecoming of the booers. Some people have no class.
jack o helen
Kind of like when Trump mocked a disabled person, or when he mocked Asians and Hispanics, or when he continuously harassed the late Senator McCain, even on his deathbed. I could go on an on, but that would take days.
Blacklabel
no class whatsoever from liberals there.
plasticmonkey
Oh come on, Serrano. It’s just a joke meant to make conservative heads explode. Like Trump’s jokes about beating up journalists and POWs being losers.
Bjorn Tomention
Trump pays respects to a liberal justice who advocated FOR LOWERING THE AGE OF CONSENT TO 12,
and while most normal people find that disgusting and disturbing the nuts still rail at Trump !
They are a twisted bunch arn't they !
Boooooo to the liberal nutz !!!
jack o helen
Like when Trump tweets degrading insults at women, minorities, and the military?
Blacklabel
Yeah Yeah just like tweets. Does everything with liberals have to be a response to some other perceived insult or slight? Everything has an unrelated excuse as to why you act inappropriately.
you KNOW this is wrong to boo the President of the United States at a viewing such as this.
Just no self control on liberal side, as can also be seen by rioting, burning and looting.
PTownsend
Once more Trump backers attempt to reduce issues to one side or its opposite, one point of view or its opposite, nothing in-between. An age old tactic used by political extremists trying to help their authoritarian leader in his quest to divide and conquer. 'You're for us or your for the terrorists' level reasoning, zero nuance. So typical of Trump and his Republican rapid response team as they try to further divide the long divided nation. While accepting support from authoritarian regimes around the globe.
Serrano
Okay. He deserved all that credit when he acted so elated when he Tweeted to replace Ginsburg with one of his flunkies
Any of the "flunkies" on Trump's list have impeccable credentials and would rule based on the Constitution. The Democrats have no reason to vote against his nominee except to be partisan.
jack o helen
I would also say that there is no control on the right-wing side when they try to block, harass, and intimidate voters waiting in line to vote early, as in North Carolina. It should be a crime trying to use physical force and intimidation to manipulate voting.

Toasted Heretic
Meh. Too restrained. Tyrant deserves more than just boos.
Toasted Heretic
Actually, I imagine RBG would have chuckled at the thought. Entirely appropriate - look how your leader behaved in the wake of the death of McCain and how he spoke ill of soldiers in cemeteries.
He'll be booed for all eternity, just like other despots.

The radical Left are so hateful they think nothing of desecrating the solemnity of one of their own cult heroes funeral. They have truly gone over the edge.

Trump goes high, the Left gets shrill.
Toasted Heretic
Such ignorance and snobbery.
Antifascism is a movement that has been around since the time of Mussolini - it is a loose collective of peoples around the world who have protested against apartheid, who have marched for Civil Rights movements in Derry and Selma, who have put Nazis on trial. It consists of millions of people from all walks of life - builders, veterans, doctors, nurses, lawyers, white collar, blue collar, politicians, workers, non-workers and so on.
The narrative is always the same from the far right - if you protest against us you must be criminal/communist/lazy/unemployed/terrorist/anti-whatever country you live in/on drugs/mentally unfit and so on.
rainyday
I'd say the funeral of a feminist icon was desecrated way more by the attendance of a guy accused of multiple rapes who has also freely admitted on tape to committing sexual assault than by the people booing that guy.
Blacklabel
nobody cares about before taking office. Who desecrated THIS solemn event? the people booing.
stormcrow
Trump is such a turkey.

Boo! Hopefully, many people see the boo boo they made in voting for this boor and he gets the boot next election for being a total boob.

Do not boo Trump, VOTE HIM OUT.
Booing or cheering is NOT effective, VOTING is.

It’s true or do liberals think we have no enemies? I guess to liberals China is a beacon for freedom and democracy we have nothing to worry about. But now it seems like Joe and his family are knee deeper involved with China than we previously thought, can’t wait for Wallace to ask Joe about that one. I still don’t get why Dems hate job creators...smh...
Mocheake
You swamp creatures will have to move in a few short weeks as we plan to drain the swamp YOU created into nice grassland where everyone can sit and feel comfortable.
Toasted Heretic
Nope, your leader did. As he's done on countless occasions, mocking the dead, the veterans, POWs, dead politicians.
And people do care about a PotUS and their past. If they didn't why make up stuff about their birth certificates?
Don't pretend that a politican's character doesn't have any impact on whether they're fit for office or not.
Blacklabel
so what did he do on THIS occasion? I see him standing there respectfully. He even wore a mask for you.
All pre 2016 character/actions were evaluated in 2016 election and he was elected, sorry not sorry.
Meanwhile Antifa in the street on Twitter says;
Burning down buildings is good because “you can employ a bunch of people to build it back up.” This is your brain on Antifa.
rcch
what these people failed to understand is that there was a dead person lying there in the coffin ( 1 ) and a man ( the US President, but still ( just ) a man ) was paying his respects ( 2 ). moments like this deserve silence and not screams or boos. now you can call him whatever you want, but I think we can agree that he knows the meaning of respect. and these people showed a total lack of respect. and not to him.
Toasted Heretic
Well, maybe when the horrible man eventually kicks the bucket we can still put him on trial, like they used to do with kings and popes back in medieval times. Seeing as Trump prefers the past where us serfs knew our place, that would be apt.
Seriously, his actions since the 70s have been evaluated and everything is not ok. The sexual assaults, racism, scams and fraud is all still there - nothing has changed, and neither has his behaviour.
One wonders why the Trump cult idolises this beast.
The far right "brain" - buildings over bodies. Property over people.

Nevada Biden up by 11

Liberals mocked Scalia so badly after he died, but I guess mocking him was acceptable, but RGB, how dare thee!
Attilathehungry
Nothing but class there, protestors. Every time something like this happens, 100,000 more people decide to vote for Trump. Maybe he is crude and boorish, but at least he stands for safety in the streets and econcomic prosperity.
I read some comments here that, when Trump is voted out, they will "drain the swamp". Uh,,,,, sure. With one of the most dedicated swamp dwellers (Biden for 47 years) leading the charge? Don't think so. Joe has been in office longer than most Americans have been alive, and I have yet to hear one good thing he has done or led. He is the epitome of "swamp", a glad-handing, back-slapping lightweight who made a career out of lingering in the presence of those with more talent than himself.
Toasted Heretic
Not being a liberal, I wouldn't know. But purveyors of misinformation here laugh at dead soldiers, and want coastal cities nuked, so one should take such comments with a shovel of salt, ta.
Graham DeShazo
I see that the FBI Director (appointed by Trump) said that voter fraud, by mail or otherwise, is not a thing in sworn testimony today.
That couldn’t have anything to do with Don’s behavior, could it?
Pukey2
I guess you missed all the gun-toting right-wing militia on the streets.
Toasted Heretic
Can you provide evidence/links/citations? Thanks in advance.
It's amusing how literally no form of protest is acceptable to the right. Not marching, not demonstating, not taking the knee, not violence, not non-violence, and definitely not booing their beloved despot.
But a bunch of anti-semites chanting "Jews will not replace us", gun-toting militia men and extrajudicial vigilantes? Perfectly acceptable.
Graham DeShazo
Scalia was a hypocritical dork who was an originalist until he wasn’t. State’s right and deference to the legislative branch, until W was down in Florida or the chance to undo the Voting Rights Act (Passed with more than 300 votes in the House), then????
Meh, finger on the scale for our guys.
RBG, whether you agreed or not was a consistent voice for equality. That’s why he was mocked and she was mourned.

I hope that Americans boo Trump at the polling stations too.

The best part is that there is nothing that the democrats, or socialist, or terrorists can do about it, except to whine on the internet. Again.

trump better develop a thicker skin, he won't have the money to pay people to cheer him after 4 months.
It'll be an eternity of boos and jeers after that.......
Toasted Heretic
The irony is lost on the far right, posting their impotent rage on the internet. Again.
You can tell they've never been on a protest, nor do they understand what respect actually means & how their leader has none.

That's rich, coming from a lowly lackey of the Swamp King!!!!

Which means that CNN, once again, gets a story wrong. No one is surprised.

Gore still lost even after the media went back to recount the votes. Gore lost - let go already. It was close, but he lost. Oh yeah- Hillary lost too. Try getting over that too while you are at it.

Name me one Republican that wants to defund the police, topple statues, abolish ICE, abolish the Electoral College, pack the courts, turn DC, Puerto Rico and divide California in 3 separate States, not allowing school choice, abolish the filibuster, push to abolish capitalism(Democrat suicide) expand entitlements to an already financially strapped and dwindling middle class, push a healthcare that a large majority of the population can’t afford and hospitals don’t want, erode and silence religion and worshippers, abolish the 2nd amendment and on and on...again, not one Republican is for any of this. So to think Republicans want and are planning World domination is not only ludicrous, but hilariously funny.
Pukey2
on what?
Peter Webber
I'm not American, but it is nice to see a U.S. president really getting things done instead of just talking about it. Biden? Seriously? You must be kidding.
Peter Webber
If Trump was booed at a funeral, shame on those who did it. Shame on the protestors/rioters. Divisiveness seems to stem from the Democrats.
bass4funk
You can boo the President all day, just don’t boo liberals or senior Democrats and all will be fine.
Toasted Heretic
Sadly, neither do you, it would seem.
The facts of Trump's bigotry, his lies, sexual misconduct, scams, nepotism, ripping off charities, using his position to enrich himself and his cronies is all documented. All out there and has been posted here numerous times.
And been dismissed by Trump supporters numerous times. Posters have spent time outlining the many times he has abused his position and made racist comments against other countries and peoples, and the times he's praised and courted white nationalists.
No matter how many times the facts are presented, Trump apologists dismiss them.
It's hardly surprising that people are jeering him - given his hypocrisy concerning his political opponents and his hatred of people who didn't vote for him. And the choice of venue and timing to air their anger is entirely appropriate. Am sure the good judge would have waved them on.
The problem with the right wing is that no type of protest is acceptable, there is never a correct or appropriate time to register disgust and dissent.
jack o helen
Face facts, rightists, Trump has forever changed the once proud Republican party to suit and please only himself. Although I myself have been more liberal in my views, I always enjoyed my childhood years during Reagan's two terms as president and respected his views and actions. It was a good time to be alive and people around the world could respect America. Now, under Trump, the Republican party has completely changed. It is littered with hypocrites who will kowtow to a dictator, who care nothing for the country, but themselves. Even though they control the office and the Senate, they will continue to blame others for their inadequacies and failings.
There are a lot of people on both sides who want to get rid of it. Doing so would actually make people's vote actually count. Conservatives and Liberals alike have both complained about a lack of their voice being heard. Face it, it's an outdated system and way of actually representing citizens' views. Getting rid of it benefits everyone.
cleo
People will, but thanks for your permission.
Like he respected the 'suckers and losers' in the military graveyard?
Like he respected John McCain? ("I like people who weren't captured.")
Like he respected the parents of Capt. Khan?("She had nothing to say... Maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.")
Like he respected Serge Kovaleski?
Like he respected all the ladies he grabbed by the pu☆☆y?
Like he respected all the young girls he made a point of walking in on while they were changing?
Like he respects former Presidents (Wild Bill, Cheatin' Obama, Bush Original) and former presidential/vice presidential candidates (Sleepy Joe, Mini Mike, Low Energy Jeb, Crazy Hillary, Lyin' Ted, Phoney Kamala, Braindead Bernie)?
I could go on, but life is too short.
Trump would not know the meaning of respect if it came up and bit him on his big fat posterior.

Turning your country into an international pariah? Advancing white supremacists and conspiracy theorists into political discourse and influence? Lying and cheating the American public?
Why do Trump supporters hate America so much?

Trump is a complete moron. Feigning respect while planning to announce a justice replacement even before RGB's funeral. That's a total lack of respect. Selfish narcissist - he cares only for himself, and cares nothing for the people he has taken an oath to protect. It's beyond belief that he has any supporters at all, and that's what's truly scary.
bass4funk
Democrats have done and continue to do this.
They don’t, if they did they would topple statues, abolish the 2nd amendment and burn the American flag and tell people they can’t use cars or eat meat.
Mr Kipling
RBG was a fearless voice for the oppressed, marginalised and discriminated.... unless they were Palestinian. Then she would remain silent...or worse.
bass4funk
As was Scalia for conservatives. I definitely respected both, but I just didn’t agree with RBG and her political stance on important issues.
Toasted Heretic
Nothing wrong with toppling statues. No complaints when Stalin was toppled in former Soviet republics, Saddam in Iraq, Nelson in Ireland. But that's the far right - statues of slavers are more sacred than lives.
No, the far right hate America because it's diverse, because people care enough about it to protest and try and bring about change for the people.
As for cutting down on fuel reliant engines or minding livestock consumption - moves that will help save the future (not just for generations of Americans yet to come, but for all of us), they'd rather piss away that future in order to keep themselves rich and removed from the worries of the masses.
Trump epitomises the hatred for American lives and that's one of the many reasons he got booed.
bass4funk
Yeah, there is in our country and that’s why they’re being charged with a federal crime, can’t dismiss the charges and that’s why they stopped doing that.
I agree, but that won’t be for another 40 years and the majority of people in United States cannot go to work on a solar powered bicycles until then.
He doesn’t, if he did he wouldn’t get support from literally the entire law-enforcement and fire department as many as military officials and I’m talking about just a regular average military folk, not to mention you’re not going to see Trump supporters are there a word about hating America or wanting to burn it down or any other institutions, if they did then you could really say he and then hate America, no contrast that to the Democrats that want to create a new utopia Marxist state.
Toasted Heretic
American exceptionalism again?
I do wonder why the far right care more about statues and property than the well-being of the people, their freedom to be able to exist without beingmurdered for the colour of their skin.
Fossil fuel alternatives are already here. Using solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, electric etc. No reason why America can't get with the programme. Instead of spending on obscene election campaigns and the arms industry, put the money towards the future.
Talked to all of them, did you? Because it's not what I'm hearing...
There is little doubt that the far right hate America. The very act of voting for a white supremacist and environment wrecker is stark evidence.
You're mixing up your ideologies again. Do you understand the basic tenets of Marxism and how they would apply to a possible scenario where voters do endorse such a thing?
bass4funk
Not a bad thing, but it would seem like liberals want the country to be a Marxist and socialist authoritative dictatorship. Take AOC for a bit, she is the most smartest woman in the entire planet and she’s pushing for this.
We had Solyndra and 11 other experimental pet projects that went belly up and cost the taxpayers millions and what happened these companies folded, so I agree with you we do need to focus on alternative energy, but it won’t happen at least for another four years to get some thing lasting and permanent, until then we should continue fracking we should use all the natural resources we have and if other companies want to do it privately, they should find it, as a matter fact George Soros could finally put his money to real good use, be a first for that guy.
If that were true Trump would tell Americans how to worship and once they take away our Second Amendment and once they tell everyone how we can work and how much money we can make and keep and how we can talk and how we can live, then I’ll believe it.
No, I’m not.
