The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, paid his respects by doing push-ups beside her casket as she was laid to rest in state at the Capitol.
Discipline. Capacity to work. Ability to push through obstacles. It’s not just talent with most of the successful people you hear about. It’s a certain drive.
Trump can do 100 push-ups and run a 5 minute mile. Everyone agrees. Everyone knows it. His MIT uncle passed on the athlete genes to him. He won the gold medal in the pentathlon in the 1944 Summer Olympics. It’s not in dispute.
I would suppose that Mitch had a hard time getting to his feet from sitting on more than 400 bills the House has sent over to him for action in the senate…a full third being bipartisan bills.
Biden should walk on stage for the first debate, drop down and rip off 10 push-ups, then get up and say, “Your turn, tough guy.” Even better if they were handclap push-ups.
I guess RBG’s trainer was just doing pushups with her one last time.
I will never forgive them for any of this but the fact that they would not shut up long enough to let us mourn RBG is something that I really am not going to forgive them for.
We’re going to party so hard and so loud when you die, Mitch. You lay in state and it will be a nonstop party around your dead body.
This is the absolute best. I so admired RBG’s shows of grit and guts in attempting to maintain a high level of physical fitness, especially in the face of serious illness. She was so disciplined and determined in every facet of her life…
McConnell and McCarthy are probably afraid of a repeated scene of booing like Trump received…none of the Republicans who are crapping on Ginsburg’s legacy are very popular in DC right now.
Also, the plan is for Trump to nominate someone tomorrow, and the Senate to have its vote on Oct. 26th, about a month later. From RBG’s death to the vote is just a little longer than the time between Scalia’s death and Obama nominating Garland, and will be the shortest nominating process of any justice in the past several decades. The Republicans deserve all the scorn for the way they are doing this that the nation can put out, and hopefully that scorn comes out a week later.
