Our local news recently reported that a nonprofit is collecting toys for kids whose parents were deported. FB commenters were overwhelmingly negative. Many suggested ICE raid the toy drive and arrest the kids, too. I hate that I’m now aware of how much of our country craves this sort of cruelty.

I just don’t really know what you do about having a genuine psychopath as President man.

This Wall Street Journal headline is what major American media have become: a sick joke. Trump says Rob Reiner was asking to be stabbed to death because he didn't support Trump. WSJ sane-washes that into plain old "criticism" of Reiner. The media are killing our country with this normalization.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.

i think people sometimes overstate how much savvy trump had in the first term, but it's pretty undeniable that he's totally lost control of his ability to temper his grievances and inhibitions, and the sycophants around him this time are just as hermetically sealed into the bubble as he is

His eyes are never fully open any more.

Trump says Rob Reiner was “one of the people behind” the “Russia hoax,” which I hesitate to call stupid because it resets the curve for stupidity so dramatically.

Imagine if literally any democrat said this about Charlie Kirk not even a full day after he was murdered.

Trump on Rob Reiner: He was a deranged person… Trump derangement syndrome. I was not a fan. I thought he was very bad for our country.

Imagine Trump apologizing for anything.

Is he just forgetting the other times that it happened in the last 3 months?

Watching far-right figures on Twitter instantly pivot from "You won't see us mock Reiner!" to openly celebrating Trump mocking Reiner makes it clear how much the modern far right relies on communication being remote and often anonymous. Because if you said this in a room, you might not ever leave it

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.

do these people listen to themselves

coming in as less reliable than jeep is certainly an accomplishment, albeit of the ignoble variety

please take a moment to appreciate Tesla's epic accomplishment of coming dead last in the auto industry in reliability, despite making relatively expensive cars with a tiny fraction of the moving parts www.consumerreports.org/cars/which-b...

Rob Reiner, a man who made such amazing movies that even the vilest people who love Donald Trump and hate everything Rob Reiner stood for politically are like, "whoa, too far man, you can't say that about the dude who made The Princess Bride"

I cannot think of a better way to honor the Reiners than to throw Trump's senile ass out of the White House

Make people get on the record about if this is how a president is allowed to behave. Don't see how this is hard.

Paul McCartney pays tribute to Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, who were murdered in their Los Angeles home on Sunday

Some liberal critics object to the president's colorful remarks about the death of Rob Reiner.

When Paul Pelosi was nearly murdered, and Trump responded with conspiracy theories and jokes, it reminded the world that Trump is a man devoid of grace and decency. Targeting Rob Reiner, he did it again, digging a hole in the bottom of the barrel and falling even further. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Looking through the replies to his post on Truth Social, there are plenty of magats calling Reiner the devil and cheering Trump etc., but there are also a surprising number of people chiding him.

An Anti-Defamation League that actually believed in its stated mission would savage Trump for his comments about Rob Reiner and his wife, but they are too busy trying to find out whether an Oberlin student said something critical of Israel.

Republican congressman 👇🏽

The problem for the Trump administration is they're so institutionally weak after another few months of this shit that idk what juice they actually have at that point.

Generally speaking I think the marbles are all going to happen when they get creamed and probably lose the senate too in '26 (which I think is probably now the more likely scenario based on results.) Stephen Miller is NOT going to want to get hauled in front of congress non-stop.

you obviously won’t remove but every congressperson should have to react to this formally and on the record.

this disgraces the office. we do not and should not want a president who behaves this way.

I am totally serious about this: file articles of impeachment over this specifically

The Trump comments about Rob Reiner are extra batshit because a few months ago people were getting fired and civil war was being threatened because some people dared to accurately describe Charlie Kirk's beliefs

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

An easy series of dunks the press can do today is to ask every Republican they see what they think of the Rob Reiner post.

Trump was pretty bad at pantomiming humanity in his first term too, but seems to me like dementia has lowered his inhibitions and made it far worse.

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump. Write it, NYT. End the normalization. @nytimes.com

If anything, this speaks to a president's who has advanced dementia and his mental state is similar to that of a toddler.

To actually back up a bit, this is probably a sign of just how bad his dementia has progressed. If you've been around people who are really down that rope, they become completely inwardly focused and can't actually muster grace for anything anymore.

I can't believe I'm saying "the Trump post about Rob Reiner shocked me and took my breath away" but yes I will cop that it did. I am capable of being surprised still, somehow

This is Trump celebrating the murder of Rob Reiner. That's what it is. That's what we should call it. People who said this sort of thing about Charlie Kirk were fired, arrested and banned from the US.

One of the problems of the Trump admin is that it's cooked itself on the RW sphere where shit like that post are hooted and hollered about as "brilliant trolling." But the people who inhabit that sphere are a very small portion of the actual MAGA base, and it's clear that cracks are forming.

Rob Reiner actually worked hard to help the people of this country while Charlie Kirk was a showboating asshole who promoted hate. Yet Reiner was outraged by Kirk's death and was nothing but kind and empathetic about it. Trump isn't worth a hair on Reiner's balls.

Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

As the film world and people of good taste around the world mourn the sudden death of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, President Donald Trump jumped to make the apparent double homicide about himself. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

How can this go on for years and years and years while everyone else is held to mostly the same rules as before? Why is it that Trump and his supporters have been given a free pass to engage in the foulest behavior imaginable, whether illegality, tyranny, corruption, or simply demeaning the dead?

The worst thing about that is all the right wingers online that were like "see we dont make fun of Rob Reiner like you did with Kirk because we have dignity" are now going to do a complete 180 on it.

just a dreadful, classless piece of shit incapable of normal human emotion or empathy

I'm sure little JD will take to Twitter any minute now to lecture everyone about proper decorum when responding to the murder of an American political figure

He's not beating the "I no longer have sufficent inhibition to hide my personal grievances and worst impulses" charges today

I knew his response to this was going to be one of the worst things he ever posted and somehow, it was even worse than I imagined it could be.

I believe giving the worst person on the planet the most power was a bad move.
