Presidential.
It was once considered an important trait in good leaders.
And it will be again.
Honorable people (the meek) will inherit the earth. It's not just a phrase, it's a truism.

There is no parallel. I think it was a distasteful statement by Trump(what's new?) but all he said was that Reiner had TDS. He did not celebrate like many openly did with the Charlie Kirk murder.Originally posted by DwightShrute
Looking back at all the things Reiner said about Trump and how great Biden was, it is hard to argue that he had extreme TDS.
Anyways, it is sad what happened to him and it looks as if their son murdered him and his wife in cold blood.Leave a comment:

Much more likely? What does that even mean? LOL. I will tell ya what is much more likely ... only a gullible person could possibly be sucked into believing that meme.
As usual, you are just posting made-up shit to push the Left's radical lunacy. You still pretend there's no difference between legal and illegal immigrants.
Some sort of mental disorder. Here's a fact ... every single illegal immigrant has broken the law.

comparing that with Charlie Kirk is retarded.Originally posted by Hareeba!
I don't think Trump should have posted that to be honest, but I understand why he did. Trump is president but he's also a human being. What did Trump actually say in his post? He praised Reiner for his talents, then he mocked him for his TDS, and finally we said rest in peace. OMG how horrible. That isn't exactly like someone celebrating Charlie's murder.
Reiner continuously called Trump the most vile and disgusting names which only fueled the fire for other lunatics. Reiner was great as Meathead in All in the Family and made a couple really good movies until he got TDS. His mental disorder caused him to spread hate and lies until his unfortunate death. I hope he's in a better place and TDS free.
Rob Reiner, the late actor and director, was a vocal and longtime critic of Donald Trump, frequently using strong language on social media, in interviews, and public statements to describe him. Here are some of the most notable and harsh terms or descriptions he reportedly used, based on public records and quotes:- Fascist: Reiner explicitly called Trump a fascist, warning that electing him would have severe consequences for democracy (e.g., stating Republicans didn't understand the implications of "electing a fascist like Donald Trump").
- Mentally unfit: In a 2017 Variety interview, he described Trump as "mentally unfit" to be president and "the single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States," adding that Trump had no interest in learning how government works.
- Criminal and con man: Reiner referred to Trump as a "criminal" and "con man" in interviews, including with Salon, and insisted Trump "must be indicted" as there was no constitutional barrier to doing so.
- Threat to democracy/autocracy: He claimed America had limited time before becoming a "full-on autocracy" under Trump, and that democracy would "completely leave us." After Trump's election victories, he said "America has fallen."

America doesn’t have a gun problem. It has a cowardice problem.
We dress it up in constitutional rhetoric, wrap it in flags, and anesthetize ourselves with ritualistic grief, but at its core, this is a failure of nerve and leadership. We know exactly what’s happening. We know why it’s happening. And year after year, body after body, we choose not to stop it.
I’ve been to the White House Christmas party. And let me be crystal clear—no sarcasm intended—they’re fun. The lights are dazzling. The Marine Band plays on cue. The halls smell like pine, polish, and power. People laugh easily. Photos are snapped constantly. Champagne flows like accountability rarely does. It’s America dressed up as a Hallmark movie, convincing itself everything is fine.
And this year, as that party carried on behind guarded gates and wreath-lined corridors, the President and First Lady offered the most predictable response in American political life: thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers for the students senselessly murdered at Brown University. Thoughts and prayers for Jewish families in Australia who gathered at Bondi Beach to celebrate the start of Hanukkah, only to watch Day Two transform into a memorial after antisemitic violence shattered what should have been joy.
Thoughts and prayers. The laziest phrase in the American lexicon. It costs nothing. It risks nothing. And it changes absolutely nothing.
Here’s the truth Americans are trained not to confront: thoughts and prayers are not leadership. They are surrender dressed up as empathy.
So far this year, the United States has experienced more than 400 mass shootings. Seventy at schools alone. Seventy classrooms turned into crime scenes. Seventy reminders that in America, active-shooter drills are treated like fire drills, and children are expected to adapt to the possibility of execution as part of their education.
And still—nothing.
We are told this is the price of freedom. We’re fed the same recycled talking points. We’re instructed to worship the Second Amendment without context, without limits, and without regard for the bodies piling up beneath it. We mourn loudly, briefly, performatively, and then legislate quietly—which is to say, not at all.
Now let’s talk about what actual leadership looks like.
Australia already has some of the toughest gun laws on the planet. And yet, after the Bondi Beach massacre, their leaders didn’t hide behind platitudes. They didn’t say “now is not the time.” They didn’t pretend the problem was too complex or politically inconvenient. They did what adults entrusted with power are supposed to do: they reassessed reality and acted.
They’ve done it before. Nearly 30 years ago, after a lone gunman slaughtered 35 people at Port Arthur in Tasmania using semiautomatic weapons, Australia responded with a speed that should embarrass every American lawmaker. Within two weeks—two weeks—they enacted sweeping gun reforms: bans, buybacks, national registration, strict licensing. Opposition screamed. The gun lobby protested. And the government listened politely, then did it anyway.
The results speak louder than any NRA press release or donation.
Between July 2023 and June 2024, Australia recorded just 31 gun-related murders. Thirty-one. That’s a homicide rate of 0.09 per 100,000 people. In America, we wouldn’t even call that a statistic. We’d call it a rounding error.
New Zealand followed the same moral playbook after the Christchurch massacre in 2019, when an Australian-born right-wing extremist live-streamed the murder of 51 worshippers at two mosques. Less than a month later, New Zealand banned semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles and launched a buyback program. Democracy survived. Freedom survived. People survived.
Australia isn’t pretending it has solved everything. Legal gun ownership has crept back up, now exceeding four million firearms—more than before the 1996 crackdown. That uncomfortable fact forced another reckoning after Bondi.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese didn’t mince words or waste time. Australia’s states and territories agreed to pursue tougher controls: limiting licenses to citizens, capping the number and type of firearms, requiring licenses to expire with more frequent suitability checks, and tightening restrictions on imports, including 3D-printed weapons and high-capacity equipment.
They’re even fixing bureaucratic failures, like completing a national firearms registry that somehow, in 2025, still relied on paper records in some jurisdictions. And instead of using that as an excuse to stall, Albanese used it as a reason to move faster.
“If there’s more that can be done, we will do it,” he said. “We will do whatever is necessary.”
Imagine hearing that from American leadership—and believing it.
In New South Wales, where the Bondi shooter legally owned six firearms under a recreational license, officials are finally asking questions that should have been asked years ago. The premier put it bluntly: if you’re not a farmer, not in agriculture, why do you need weapons that endanger the public and make life more dangerous for police?
That question should reverberate through every statehouse, every congressional hearing room, and every cable news studio in the United States.
Instead, we throw parties. We lower flags. We offer prayers. And we accept mass death as the cost of doing business in America.
It isn’t.
America’s obsession with guns has nothing to do with freedom. It’s about fear, profit, and political cowardice. Other democracies have proven—repeatedly—that mass slaughter is not inevitable. It’s a choice.
So enough with the thoughts and prayers. They don’t stop bullets. Leadership does.

Agree again Dwight. What the heck????
Anyone in any position of 1. reporting or 2. authority, can approach any given situation one of two ways.
They can analyze the situation and report the facts or take control of what is going on for the benefit of everyone, or they can analyze the same situation and make it help their own objective or report it, as what they WANT it to be about.
The first way is what the public deserves. The second way is a disservice that should be received negatively by all.
No matter the side, a reporter reports, an influencer influences. The first is what we all need so we can decide for ourselves. The second is an agenda to sway peoples thinking in a direction that supports the reporters or person of authority's, cause or wallet.
The public can fix this if they all want to, but instead, they are pushed to pick a side. Kind of like the North and the South did before our time.
The entire population needs to think about that and not think what they are pushed to think.Leave a comment:

The liberal media are truly disgusting. They all seem to follow the same narrative and run with it.
"The drive by media: they fly into a situation. They arrive on the scene. The make up stuff . They stir up emotions to a frenzied fever pitch. They spread lies, and then, after a few hours or a few days when the real facts come out, they are gone. They are down the road doing it again on the next story, while everyone else is left in their wake with a mess that real Americans have to clean up." - Rush Limbaugh
Rush spent years talking about logic and presenting facts. That's why the Left hated him.

I agree Dwight. I don't know how any level headed person could have come up with some of the stuff that exists.
The Dems destroyed their own credibility with some of the stuff they supported.
At the end of the day, middle ground is where all radicals need to go. Give and take. But certainly not some of the stuff Democrats seemed to have no problem with.
Personally, I do not agree with most radical plans, no matter who is proposing them. What happened to taking care of Americans?
I'm not hating on any individual but fix the house you live in, then try and help fix other houses.

Just look at this awful person in the pink suit. What a disgrace to civil servants.
How on Earth are sanctuary cities allowed to even exist in the country? What these dems are doing is criminal and what the Biden administration did allowing 15-20 million people to enter the county illegally is unforgivable.
One of my criticisms of Trump so far, and there aren't many, is that he hasn't deported enough people thus far.

Indeed, between 2021 and 2025, in one of the most bizarre episodes in US immigration history, the border simply disappeared. There were to be no background checks, no health audits and no identification of the greatest influx in any four-year period in US history.
No one knew why. All had their explanations. Puzzling boondoggle
Was the Biden handlers’ plan for more poor to grow the welfare state and expand liberal government?
Was it misplaced idealism to welcome in millions of the world’s poorest, who would soon make it even more difficult for the nation’s poor citizens to find affordable housing and health care?
Was the agenda to create future dependencies and constituencies for an otherwise ossified Democratic Party?
Or was it an effort to ensure, in DEI terms, that the oppressed and victimized would outgrow the inert white oppressors and victimizers?
Oddest of all has been the attitude of the left toward the past destruction of the border. They went mum about the rampant illegality as the border disappeared and as millions filtered throughout the nation. Americans had no idea who the newcomers were, or even where or why they were here.
Given that it is much easier to destroy the border and allow millions to enter than to restore it and find the millions who entered illegally, the Democrats’ response has been Orwellian. After assuming the law did not apply to illegal alien entrants, they now insist its full force must apply to each of 10 million aliens before they can be sent home.
There were no protests when an errant Biden ICE became dysfunctional due to massive illegality. But there is now outrage when it attempts to restore legality and follow the law.
