Mockery is the narcissist’s punishment. Naughty little children sometimes need to be put on their place. However, even if that were not so, what does our mockery gain him if we find it entertaining? Everyone in the world knows that his tantrums are just based in his insecurity about his many shortcomings, and he knows that we know. |
but following pps thought, Meathead was "woke" and always trying to correct Archie. The difference for me is that Archie said the en word publicly. |
Here’s my perspective. Trump missed a chance to highlight the significant challenges of drug addiction and mental illness. It certainly would have supported his stance on drugs like fentanyl. Because Reiner said awful things about him, Trump couldn’t rise above it and deliver an executive and appropriate message. This isn’t a case where mental health treatment or drug addiction treatment wasn’t available. Rob Reiner was wealthy - frankly deservedly so - his string of cinema hits was unprecedented. Not just entertaining - but clever with a unique eye for what would catch with the public. Reiner could have and did spend a lot to save his son. The kid was apparently homeless for long stints for refusing rehab. The Reiners enforced his unwillingness to go to rehab with tough love - which is frankly exactly what the professionals in most case advise. Being a parent in this situation can simply be awful. So you have a wealthy couple with the means and willingness to slay their son’s demons, and without judgment or bias, they ended up failing. Politics doesn’t matter. Whatever their political beliefs, no one reasonable would want to walk in their shoes. |

Agree. I posted this on the entertainment forum. Since he's not ever going to be quiet....stop giving him oxygen. Maybe that would be the decency we could bring the Reiners. Stop mixing Trump with everything/leave him out of it..for once...he soils everything. |
That’s what is disturbing about MAGAs, they don’t see the difference between a man who was an actor/ director and a leader of the free world. The President is now seen as a celebrity who been on television. |
Many of us have been aware of Trump's lack of class and integrity for decades. Garbage spewing from his mouth is the expectation. This being said; most in the MAGA crowd aren't paying attention to Trump's daily disgracefulness and most truly don't have "nothing but evil in their hearts". |

What is also bizarre about all this is that Reiner really hasn't been all that relevant recently. And Trump still had to go after him. Like he was reacting to Reiner's character going after Archie Bunker from 40 years ago! I doubt 99% of his MAGA base cares or feels the same way or would have bothered to do this. |
At best, many of them do the equivalent of "grandpa is a racist perv and we don't like hanging out with him either but he's coming to Christmas dinner and we'd like to stay in his will, so please smile and be polite. He's horrible, but he means well." |
In his demented mind he probably thinks this was last week |

Apparently Trump has Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It does seem like he is living in the 1970s / 1980s; my dad.did something similar when he had dementia, eventually made it back to the 1930s right before he died. |
Reiner is trumps generation. More relatable to him which explains the fixation. |
If they are MAGA, yes they are and yes they do. |
Because the world is watching. Our kids are watching. Sitting silent does nothing but maintain the status quo and right now the status quo is a deranged narcissistic lunatic at our presidential helm. He needs to be called out and the world and our kids need to see us demanding respect for the office he unfortunately holds. That’s why. |
