That's Billo. It does beg the question why someone would even bother to meet with a desiccated, drunken gasbag like O'Reilly.

It was the Tax Code that drove a strong middle class in the 50'ies and 60'ies. Profits had a high tax so businesses invested back into growing their business because those funds avoided getting taxed "away". And far fewer bs deductions allowed.

I grew up in the '50s and '60s, when the middle class was a burgeoning force in America. That wasn't an accident. There are ways to use laws that tilt fortune one way or another. Simply put, Reagan's "rising tide" is a failure.

I think you grossly misunderstand. The overwhelming majority of Americans support measures to curb mass shootings, even those who own guns or support the right to. The government is simply bought and paid for by the NRA and the firearms industry, and as long as that's the case, no change will happen

I’m starting to suspect that our ability to catch spree killers who leave the scene is extremely dependent on a functioning FBI…which we 100% do not have right now.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

When people say to vote for Republicans and Trump is to vote against your own interests, this seems like a pretty good example of what that likely means.

MK and I cherish the time that we got to spend with Rob and Michele Reiner — we were devastated to learn of their passing.
Titans of the industry in every sense, the Reiners' legacy is secured through works of art that impacted generations.
May their memories be a blessing.

When I lived in LA 97-99 (and you may recall this @davidjroth.bsky.social), Rob Reiner led the smoking ban in bars. I couldn’t believe bars could exist without cigs. And I don’t even smoke.
He kickstarted all of it. I still go to bars. I never have to Febreez my clothes.
So, also that.
