When Charlie Kirk, a conservative influencer with some relatively extreme views was assassinated, it was a cause for celebration among many of those who detested his politics. Among them was NorCo Council member Kelly Keegan, who is also a school nurse. Many people on both sides of the political divide were outraged at her utter insensitivity to the murder of another human being and were right to be appalled. Rob Reiner was a hardcore liberal, even by Hollywood standards, but the producer of "The Princess Bride" refused to follow the lead of those who danced on Kirk's grave. He instead reacted with empathy and compassion. He told Piers Morgan that his reaction was one of "absolute horror. 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."
Reiner himself, along with his wife, were murdered on Sunday. One of their sons, who suffered from substance abuse, has been arrested. Here's how President Donald Trump responded.
In Trump's twisted and narcissistic mind, the murder was apparently justified because Reiner was critical of him. Just as I consider Kelly Keegan an ugly person for her total lack of empathy, the same has to be said of Trump. But while Keegan is just one of none members of a county governing body, Trump is the supposed to be our President. I am ashamed of and disgusted by him.
tRUMP has a severe and uncurable case of hoof and mouth disease. Most non maga republicans are appalled by his comments and behaviors. Most un presidential person to ever hold the office.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Trump 3 times. His response to this murder was undignified.
ReplyDeleteI sure don't read within that message any statement or conclusion by Trump that Reiner's murder was justified. You, and many others do, but you've been known to read things into lots of Trump related actions.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, Trump is not running for re-election. He's not asking for my vote, not yours, nor a vote from anyone else.
As a human being, trump doesn’t make the cut
DeleteI was shocked by the presidents comments. They speak for themselves and not justifiable by any standards of normal adulthood. I fear things will just get worse.
ReplyDeleteMeathead said too many very ugly and untrue things about Trump Meathead was a deranged person And Trump just told how it was and you left wing idiots can't take the truth.
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect example of MAGAmind rot.
DeleteFace facts Bernie we are at war their is too much hate between the left wing lunatics and the conservative right.
ReplyDeleteMissed a word. Conservative right wing lunatics. Be fair.
DeleteBernie loves fueling the hate.
DeleteThis is a fake democratic blog that lies and lies
ReplyDeleteGo away, Tricia.
DeleteMeat head Liberal Trump deranged lunatic
ReplyDeleteGross.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that has gotten worse under Trump in his second term is democratic behavior
ReplyDeleteMaybe all you Kirk and Trump supporters should read the room! Did you read the election results?!?!? Racism, bigotry, and racism aren't popular. You all had your day with it!
ReplyDeleteHe is shameful and disgusting. His comments are warped, twisted, and narcissistic. He finds a way for everything and anything to be about him. He and his comments are indefensible but you will be excoriated by his acolytes who will, in true knee-JERK fashion, say : "Yeah, but what about Charlie Kirk."
ReplyDelete@8:10am- spot on!
DeleteExactly. No elected Dems at the national level said anything like this.
DeleteI’m sure Keegan doesn’t GAS, nor does Trump. You should ask both of them.
ReplyDeletetRUMP - the south end of a north bound mule as is that rabid dog puppet running around the pentagon hegseth
ReplyDeleteTrump is regularly called a Nazi, Hitler, a fascist , a racist, a white supremacist, a bigot, a dehumanizer, an inciter of violence, an anti semite and the list of labels goes on and on. Much of the name calling originates in Hollywood and the media. If you accept any of those definitions of our leader, the vile response on Reiner’s death should be anything but surprising. On the other hand, maybe Trump is showing another side, tired of the labels and choosing to fight back in a most disgusting way. Either way, no one should be shocked. Imagine some one simply labeling you a cheat and a liar. Would you turn the other cheek? Trump missed the basics of Christianity: Forgiveness is not in his soul. But, it’s not in many of our souls. Trump manages to bring out the hate in everyone. Whether you like him or not, hate will get you nowhere.
ReplyDeleteExcellent point
DeleteTrump missed a trip to oblivion by a few centimeters.
DeleteTo all the loyal trumpsters, he spits in your face and tells you its raining out. Worse, YOU BELIEVE HIM.
ReplyDeleteA lot of Republicans are voting Democrat in the mid terms. I for one as when your demolishing the rose garden to put up a ballroom named after you then this ego maniac has got to go
ReplyDeleteThats ridiculous. Republican and democrat basic principles vary greatly
DeleteWhy is anyone who voted for Trump surprised by his response. He is a grifting manbaby. There is no behavior too low for him as he is incapable of shame. What a great leader, LOL.
ReplyDelete@11:56
DeleteThis country missed a great opportunity to elect the first black, East Asian, woman president.
What a tragedy that over half of the voters are misogynistic, racist, neo-fascists .
This was a global catastrophe.
I’d punish a child who acted like Trump. He’s an old dottering man whose life is void of any humanism. His affections are by contract but his hate comes for free. I feel sorry for parents who have to explain why the president isn’t a model for behavior.
ReplyDeleteAt 2:21
DeleteWell at least two people tried to ki11 Trump, so there’s that.
A tragedy about the Reiners' murder. A tragedy about their (at least Rob's) hatred of Trump and his supporters.
ReplyDeleteThis meathead can say anything he wants and I mean anything but Trump can not tell the facts about how the guy talked about Trump--You liberals suck.
ReplyDeleteIt was a poor response from a guy who is called Hitler every minute of every day.
ReplyDeleteEveryone could learn something from the interview of James Woods last night- although he & Reiner differed politically, they loved & respected each other.
ReplyDeletePathetic individuals here, who actually attempt to defend Trump on this. Plain and simple his written response to another human beings murder is flat out wrong. There is no need or point in defending his response and if you can't understand why it is wrong or admit it, your own damnation awaits.
ReplyDeleteTrumps a narcissist, most politicians are. He takes it to another level though lol. No post on Shapiro endorsing Brooks over your boy? No post on the hypocrite AOC dropping 50k on 5 star hotels and Michelin rated restaurants in Puerto Rico. Idiots who can least afford send these asshole politicians money and they live like kings.

Bernie won't write such a story- it goes against his daily narrative.
DeleteThat Trump is held in high regard by many "Christians" illustrates how lost we are as a country. I always thought it hypocritical to shake hands in the church pew and shake fists in the parking lot traffic, but the idolization of Trump and ignoring his inhumanity is truly mind blowing. 2nd Corinthians 11:14 "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light"
ReplyDeleteT-rump is motivated by his hatred of brown people.
ReplyDeleteyou need help with your TDS
DeleteThat's why he got more support of "Brown" people than any Republican in history.
DeleteI suppose no one recalls what Reiner spewed about Limbaugh when he passed and let's not mention vile hatred he spewed about Trump every time he opened his pie hole... all in all, the President was quite lame in his statement... I'll give him a big fat PASS on this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm comfortable with his statement. I'd like to see more of this.
ReplyDeleteFree free Palestine from the river to the sea!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDump made it crystal clear early in his first term he has no interest in being "presidential", when he sarcastically and robotically swung his arms and made fun of the concept. It has also long been apparent he is vile, and full of hatred. So I can't be disappointed at this latest example - I gave up years ago thinking of him as my president. He doesn't represent anything to me but a threat to my security, physical and financial.
ReplyDeleteBorder closed, 7 wars ended, Stock Market higher, and you're worried about your Security?
DeleteRead what Reiner said about Rush Limbaugh when he died. Reiner was no different than Trump. Both wrong, but don’t paint Trump worse than Reiner.
ReplyDelete9:39am- after That opioid blowhard passed away, Reiner said that Limbaugh was a "Liar" and followed it up with, "To protect our Democracy, we must remain vigilant in calling out their big lies. Starting with climate change.”
DeleteThat's a far cry from Trump's statement. Nice deflection, though.
