    “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?

      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.

      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.

        He seems to be implying that someone got so angry with him that they stabbed him for having what idiots like him insist on calling “TDS”, but what is really pointing out the reality about cheeto mcpedo…

      People didn’t, political messages did and the good little sheep followed the shepherd all the way off the cliff
