  1. From reporter Arthur Delaney:

     Two prominent Republicans in the House of Representatives rebuked President [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump) on Monday over his creepy social media post about the killing of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner.

    Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) ― right-wingers who’ve been on the president’s bad side lately ― reacted with disgust to Trump musing that the two were murdered because of Reiner’s “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

    This is clearly a double standard, coming from the same guy who threatened to rain legal hell on us if we spoke out against Charlie Kirk after his death.

  3. Trump is accusing Reiner of having imaginary TDS to rile up his base.
    For the record, here is what Reiner said after the Charlie Kirk killing:

    >“Absolute horror, and I unfortunately saw the video of it,” Reiner replied. “It’s beyond belief what happened to him. That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems.”
    “And I felt like what his wife [Erika] said at the service at the memorial they had was exactly right,” he continued. “I’m Jewish but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in ‘do unto others’ and I believe in forgiveness and what she said to me was beautiful. She forgave his assassin. And I think that is admirable.”

    Sadly, this quote won’t penetrate into the MAGAsphere.

    Pshaw, MAGATs are like scavengers, practically designed in a lab to hoover up rotten garbage. 

  5. One of these days trump is going to do his usual BS and all the sudden it won’t work. People are going broke. Neighbors are mad at each other over stuff that didn’t use to divide them. One day, and it won’t be long, the spell will end for most of these idiots and we will see the light again. Until then we are stuck eating this garbage our country voted for.

    Trump is a sociopath, plain and simple. Just a sick , deranged narcissist.

    Never have we had a president, that is so disrespectful either. If maga can’t condemn it, then they are just as much to blame

  7. It’s hilarious seeing all his supporters saying it’s a fake post. That’s what they do now. Just say it’s fake and move on.

    Isn’t this kind of thing what they live for though? Why would they have trouble stomaching it?

    Give it a day. They’ll find out about that time he said something nice about someone they despise to focus on, or some bullshit conspiracy, and accuse the left of crocadile tears for caring at all.

    Oh good we’re sane-washing this already.

    GOP will absolutely stomach this. In fact a portion of them probably are glad Reiner died.

  11. *Rob Reiner on the Charlie Kirk murder: “Absolute horror and I unfortunately saw the video of it,” Reiner replied. “It’s beyond belief what happened to him. That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution so solving problems.”*

    *“And I felt like what his wife [Erika] said at the service at the memorial they had, was exactly right,” he continued. “I’m Jewish but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in ‘do unto others’ and I believe in forgiveness and what she said to me was beautiful. She forgave his assassin. And I think that is admirable.”*

    (When they go low, we remain human).

    Nah most will defend him for “speaking his truth”. I was shocked and disgusted to hear a colleague ( in Canada!) defend him a couple weeks ago saying something like “God works in mysterious ways, there is a reason he was chosen as his messenger” 🤢 and she seemed like a kind hearted person up til then. These people are fully brainwashed, it’s scary actually.

    Don’t be silly – they just haven’t received their talking points from Faux news yet. Give it a couple hours and they will all be spewing some synchronized nonsense about how this was actually a genius take.

    They stomached insurrection, secret police and concentration camps. They’ll manage this.

  15. teddytwelvetoes on

    lol why is huff post dot com playing dumb and pretending that these proud sociopaths would ever give a fuck about what their god-emperor said about Rob Reiner

  16. Seriously, *who fucking cares* what they think or how they’re reacting? We *know*. Some of them will say some more acceptable things and *all* of them will fall in line. The hypocrites.

    How about some of the reactions from people who knew the Reiners or maybe *the majority of Americans* who revile his statement? No? 

    Nobody cares what Trump’s echos say.

  17. Many more Americans know who Rob Reiner is – and have seen and love his work – than ever knew who Charlie Kirk was, even after his death. And yet here they are staying silent as the leader of their party and our country celebrates the idea that his critics be murdered. Because – to be clear – his statement is a call for his supporters to do this and he is claiming it’s justified.

    You can’t possibly think that magas are actually bothered by trumps disgusting behavior.

  19. All ive seen is a lot of, “he’s not lying though” type of comments from maga. I dont think this disgusts them.

    Bullshit. They love it. This is the type of stuff they want to see from their Dear Leader.
