Here’s what a fellow poster freepmailed me about the book To Kill a Mockingbird

“At the end of the courtroom drama, when Atticus Finch was leaving, all the black people in the gallery, rose in silence as Atticus passed. They did this to honor him for his efforts. They knew, and he did too, that it was a futile effort. But he went in the face of some of his family, his friends, and actually endangered the lives of his children, in his efforts to see justice was received. He laid it all on the line. That’s what ALL the blacks were RISING to honor.”

And I was corrected that the defendant did not commit suicide but was killed attempting to escape.

Is Trump our modrrrn-day Atticus Finch?

But how does this relate?

“All rise” is what is said by the Bailiff when the judge enters the courtroom—and when the judge leaves.

Maybe RBG has left the building—for good.

Thanks for that additional info, CB.

I have to admit....I’m still confused, on this.

I do tend to think that RGB is possibly room temp...well, would be if they didn’t have her chilling in the ‘locker’ room.

Now, how does this relate to the TKAM tweet? Heck if I know.

I’m just wondering when the ‘official’ announcement will come.

He's perhaps not speaking to us but to the media or congress, government workers to RISE and take a STAND for justice. One of the biggest influential groups would be our media...I'm sure they are being blackmailed and threatened in their jobs by strong arm people as Maggie Haberman. There must be some who are actually journalist and are very frustrated over the rules set.

Government workers who hated what Comey and others did to the respect of their positions and jobs. He destroyed the confidence and trust toward the FBI....and the list goes on.
