    “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

    People got fired for quoting Charlie Kirk’s own words but this is okay?

      lol being hypocritical is part of the plan

      They know everyone will just stand around and stammer about it doing nothing

      That’s how fascists operate and it’s high time we stop pretending the best we can do is call them out. They don’t care

        We’ve gotten used to stories where all is required to stop a corrupt ruler is exposing the truth. Both Zootopia movies revolve around Judy and Nick ending a conspiracy by the rich and powerful merely by exposing it, and then the rich and powerful are arrested and face consequences. In the new Superman movie, they stop Lex Luthor’s evil plan by exposing to the public and destroying his reputation. A lot of fictional stories operate under the assumption that all we have to do is show the public that somebody is corrupt and they immediately lose their power.

        Now we keep pointing out that the administration are being hypocrites and not following their own rules, like we think some cosmic rule arbiter will suddenly remove their power for breaking the rules. We are powerless when faced with the reality that exposing the corruption does absolutely nothing. It isn’t going to get the corrupt people arrested. It isn’t going to make them lose an election. It isn’t even going to hurt their reputation much.

      In the list of things Trump has done, I doubt that would be the straw that breaks any camel’s back.

      It might open a few people’s eyes to the fact that he’s a classless piece of shit, but I think deep down they all knew that anyway.

    MAGA (lie) and say they like Trump because “he’s not a politician”.

    In reality Trump is only a politician. There are no rare moments of dignity or humanity…like even the most cynical of politicians will display.

    Trump lives and breaths politics: all that matters is the party.

    That’s why MAGA love him…everything is team sports…everything is an MMA match…they never need to have a moment of disbelief that challenges their bigotry.

    Just more evidence the man is a hateful, bigoted divider of the country. Why so much vitriol lately you ask? Look to your dear leader before pointing the finger. Worried about the moral decay happening in America, look no further than dear leader. He is the cause, and you’ve all allowed his disease to spread to the rest of your countrymen

    Making fun of minorities, the disabled, and “locker room talk” about sexually abusing women? Totally fine.

    How dare Trump openly mock a successful straight white man.

    Fuck the Republican party.

    At virtually the same time, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a conservative libertarian, posted on X that Trump’s comments are “inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered.” He added: “I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.”

    I seem to remember “slam” in wrestling meaning a bit more than weak pondering.
