This Saturday in Mason County there were two events happening, one was festive, the other was somber.  The first was attended and reported by City of Ludington Daily News (COLDNews) reporter Riley Kelley.  Both merited being included on page 1 of the Monday newspaper.  He reported that 1200 people were estimated in attendance at the rally originating in the parking lot of Johnny's Bandstand in Custer at 11:00 AM, it merited the top of the front page as the weekend's big story:

Local social media was lit up with stories of how the Trump rally motorcade was blocking traffic with the sheriff violating the law for not getting MDOT permission and alternatively of how the parade of cars was a minor inconvenience with everyone having fun showing their support for the incumbent president and his policies.  The former story doesn't appear to be the case, but with Gretchen and Dana running the executive branch and legislative branch, you just never know.  The latter appears to be closer to the truth.  

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death was noticed to the public on Friday.  The most notorious member of the left wing of the court, Ginsberg inspired like-minded individuals and others who admired her work out for a candlelight vigil at the Mason County Courthouse in Ludington that Saturday evening.  Being several hours after the prior event ended, the COLDNews' Riley Kelley attended that as well and noted that 'about 40 locals' showed up.  These vigils had been started the previous night at the Supreme Court Building in Washington DC and were took up to some extent nationwide.  It showed up on the very bottom of page one.

Granted, the Trump rally had more than a day plus to organize itself, but when the numbers are compared of both processions, one is a factor of thirty times more than the other and requires more props than just a candle.  And I'm willing to make a wager that the following Venn diagram holds true (minus certain reporters in attendance), but you better have visual proof to the contrary if you claim otherwise (for those not familiar with set theory, a zero with a line through it is the empty set):

The people who supported her say she was a good judge. Yes she was. A good leftists judge who made biased decisions on her own politics and not the Constitution. I feel for her family but I'm glad she is no longer on the Court. She should have retired years ago.  I guess her niece said Ginsburg did not want to be replaced until after the election. If she did say that then she really did not believe in the Constitution or she was just not mentally all there because of her condition. It's the Ginsburg's of the World that we need to protect our Constitution from.

By the way X, please explain the your last sentence including the diagram.

A Venn diagram is used in set theory to show the relations between sets of objects.  The area in the middle show their intersection.  For example, one set could be 'odd numbers' the other might be numbers divisible by '5', so the left side would be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15... the right side would be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25....  One can see that both sets contain all numbers ending with 5, so the middle section would have 5, 15, 25, 35... and the other two sets would lose those members in common-- in the Venn diagram and look like 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17... and 10, 20, 30, 40, 50... respectively.

Used here we look at the set of those 1200 people that were part of the Trump rally and the set of those 40 people who showed up for Justice Ginsburg.  The diagram asserts that nobody attended both, since they represent almost polar opposites.  

I read a CNN article the other day listing Ginsburg's accomplishments, you would think they would tout everything, but there's really not alot.  Here's a synopsis:  Launched American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Women's Rights Project as a counsel for the ACLU in the 1970s, before she was a justice (1993).  The rest is basically illnesses she's overcome and awards she received from leftist groups.  Other than that you have very poor judicial behavior and temperament (Criticizes Donald Trumpcalling the presumptive Republican presidential nominee a "faker.")  The only case that came before her mentioned in this CNN article was Bush v Gore (2000) where she was on the losing side and didn't even write the dissent, Justice Stevens did.  

With all due respect for the dead, she joined the 5-4 majority in Kelo v. City of New London (2005) where she joined the other liberals in which the court held that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified private redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment The biggest assault on private property rights, ever.  I think she had terrible jurisprudence and her goal was to change the law to her odd ideals rather than interpret it.  Liberals like that though, so I see why they miss her so much.

Thanks for the explanation X even tho I did not understand it. I looked it up on line and now I'm a Venn genius as shown below.

I give you an A PLUS for comprehension and creativity, Willy!

Think it's more like this, Willy

Thanks for that correction. How could I have forgotten the Godfather of  modern murder and genocide.  Heil Whitmer!

Excellent summary. Thanks, X! And that's why the liberals RBG for rulings like Kelo v. New London!

Interesting  that this cymbal came up twice for me this week. i kept  getting text from a leftist group stating fake news   about Trump.  So I sent a number of text back to the point of profanity. Then I got the next and last text with the 0/ through it. I looked it up . Still don't understand it , maybe because I don't know how to put the / through the 0

The line through the '0' is the same thing as a set of nothing such as {}, in set theory it's similar to the number '0' in number theory which is why they have the shorthand for the empty set being the circle with a lie through it.  If nobody scored a 100 on the test then the set of people scoring a 100 would be an empty set, whereas if a couple of people scored 98, the set of people scoring 98 would be the names of those two people.
