Death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele / Trump remarks / Son arrested

[Andrew - EOSHD]

Sad news about Rob Reiner, and his wife, gifted photographer, Michele.

The President says he died due to "Trump derangement syndrome" and the "anger he caused others".

Writing in a social media post:

"[Reiner] 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".

"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J Trump"

Obviously, I find this troubling on so many levels. A real insight. That he can't even write RIP to one of Hollywood's greatest or send condolences to his family without making it all about himself and implying that Reiner had a mental illness.

I think it's time for anyone who voted for him to take a bit of a step back from politics (if capable of that) to think about what they have done and who he is. And if after that you still can't bring yourself to snap out of the cult, but you still happen to be a forum member here I would like to ask you to leave. Hopefully you have already.

In contrast here's how Ben Stiller remembers the Spinal Tap director, who like Rob had a comedian father...

"He came out form behind a huge comedic shadow of the great Carl Reiner and being a tv actor to being a a great director who made an incredible run of movies. Spinal Tap is one of the best comedies ever made - and the list goes on. He was a kind caring person who was really really funny."

Now there are reports coming from gossip outlets that Reiner and his wife were murdered by their son Nick who is now in police custody.

What a shocking Hollywood tragedy and just an awful way for such great souls to go out, who have given us so much.

Go and see Spinal Tap 2 everyone.

RIP Rob & Michele Reiner.

Sad, sad, sad.

RIP.

 

Who can forget when the Bunkers first met his character, the progressive Michael “Mike” Stivic — the liberal, college-educated son-in-law nicknamed “Meathead” by his conservative father-in-law, another towering character, Archie Bunker — back when he was still an actor, before his filmmaking career?

 

Legends from my coming-of-age years... echoed by many others, whether reading this or not, far beyond these pages.

The big question is, who is the more delusional; the current POTUS or Jake Paul, because both clearly exist in the most extraordinary fantasy land that only exists in their own, what passes for, minds.

But what do I know 🤷‍♂️

It was a real low blow.

Everyone has a big respect for Rob's achievement in filmmaking, the joy he brought to millions...

Has the fucking penny dropped yet in the heads of these astonishing idiots who are in Trumps' fantasy land with him.

It's a proper fucking cult.

He has turned half of America into a right-wing cult.

I don't know what's worse though... Is it the fantasy land of America-first narcissism or these kind of psychotic displays when someone dies... of him celebrating someone's death, throwing a pack of insults out to the family, at the time of the biggest tragedy of their lives, I can't even imagine what Rob's daughter is going through right now having found them all dead and then the media circus and that fucking cunt chiming in from his government hideout.

He is simply incapable of forgetting or forgiving.

There is something about his post about Rob Reiner that has really had a big impact on me.

I thought I’d become desensitised to the depravity, stupidity and contemptuous lies but this one is different.

Almost like a test of what he believes he can get away with and a test of how much people around him would let him get away with.

The answer to both of those is now, clearly, whatever the fuck he wants to.

I had a similar experience with this post. He's done hundreds of worse deeds just a year in to his second term, but this got me particularly upset. He's scum for the sake of being scum.

I wish I could sit in the corner with a hot chocolate while someone wise told me that we are over the worst of it… then I remember that Vance waits to inherit, Farage hovers around No10 like flies over a corpse and… unfortunately it does seem that sitting back and ignoring it is no longer a sensible option.

To misquote Niemöller:

”first they came for the media. I sat and watched. They came for the gays, the trans and those who are different. I sat and watched. They came for those they claimed don’t belong. I sat and watched. Then they came for me. There was no one left to hear my cries…”

I'm surprised that I'm just finding out now that he had a career after All in the Family. I know I've never really followed Hollywood that much but how did I never find out he was directing?

Anyway, yeah, that Trump guy. Oh wait, should I be careful what I write here? Is this social media and I might need to show it at the border someday? Nah! He'll be gone soon likely, things won't be better with Vance but at least they won't be so unpredictable. I'm still not setting foot in that country until they make some changes.

Am I too hopeful or is this really just "the good times" before it really gets bad?

It's also interesting to watch a number of the same people who claimed that others were monsters if they weren't in tears over Kirk's murder who are now falling all over themselves to defend the president's repulsive post about Reiner - or if not defending it, becoming deafeningly silent about it.  It's almost like they're a bunch of hypocrites or something...

The only principle that they follow is defined by their self-interest. If a law or moral principle exists which they think would help them gain more power or wealth, they use it argument why others should follow it. But they never feel the need to obey laws or ethical principles if it would be disadvantageous to their attempts to increase their power or wealth.

Similar to the Russia which cries wolf when Western countries freeze their foreign assets, but do not see any problem in the looting & killing of Ukrainians.

 

These are examples of people who are guided by only their self-interest and will do anything to gain more and more power and wealth. What is amazing is how the common people actually voted those people into positions of power.
