Rob Reiner was a talented man who will be remembered for bringing laughs and heartfelt films to the world.

Donald Trump is a lucky sociopath who will be remembered for bringing misery and division to America.

Remember when there was so much anger about the Charlie Kirk comments?

How is this different?

Shouldn’t he lose his job?

Many did.

Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.

Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.

There's your difference

Rob Reiner was famous for over 50 years and made several beloved movies. Charlie Kirk was a sniveling little podcaster who yelled at college students and most of the country never heard of him. They are not the same

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Exactly this.
Jews came to this country in greater numbers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to escape oppression, pogroms, terror and murder in Europe.

They came here to find Black people dealing with *the exact same thing* under Jim Crow.

We have been friends and allies ever since.

Remember, when someone says they blame “porn” for something, what they mean by that is they blame the WOMEN doing the porn. It’s somehow women’s FAULT that men are behave badly.

Mel Robbins is correct: people’s opinions about us are not our business, but their violence toward other human beings is. When we become aware of that violence, then it’s time for an alternative theory.
