'May be the last time you ever see me': Actor Rob Reiner makes ominous prediction on CNN

Got it.
So all that hoopla about getting people who didn't mourn Charlie Kirk properly fired was just bullshit.
Speaking of which, MAGA seems to be thinking very pretzel like lines of thought about Kirk and Reiner now.
Except one of them is fkn President of the US and supposed to set a good example for the country. Instead, he did what he does best. Insult someone in their grave that can't defend himself, and making yet another tragedy about him. Maybe you're somehow not sick of it, but many others are.
Well when 50%+ 1 of your nation is trash, this is what happens.
I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud sometimes when it comes to Trump. I long for the day that he finally is off the news cycle - the last 10 years have felt like 40.
Actually Trump didn't even win a majority of the 2024 election vote. He only won 49.81% of the vote! He is a minority winner. Yet Don still deludes and LIES he got a mandate and won by a landslide. Landslide Wins always were defined as winning 60% or more of the vote. From The American Presidency Project

You don't have to say anything.
But a narcissist like Trump needs to make anything and everything about himself.
So the media reported on a man that contributed a lot to American pop culture and was respected by many Americans was brutally and savagely murdered by his own son. What does Trump do? Open his big fat unhinged brain addled mouth and finds a way to make this murder of an innocent man and his wife about Trump. Like a narcissist would.
What a pathetic human and an embarrassment to the United States.
HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE US!!!
Imagine if Biden won, Kirk got shot and Biden said "Oh well, probably Kirk was a Biden hater and pissed off too many people."
I bet you would be on here posting like a madman bitching and complaining.
So share with us, without having a hissy fit, what exactly in your mind makes Reiner a dirtbag along with De Niro? It can't be just the fact that they exposed your hero and chief to be the clown he really is, or do you have another reason?

Donald Trump’s Remarks on the Death of Rob Reiner Are Next-Level Degradation
On a weekend of terrible violent events, you would not expect a President of the United States to make matters even worse. But, of course, he did.

Have you ever in your life encountered a character as wretched as Donald Trump? For many people, this was a question asked and definitively answered twenty years ago, when Trump was still a real-estate vulgarian shilling his brand on Howard Stern’s radio show and agreeing with the host’s assessment that his daughter Ivanka was “a piece of ass” and describing how he could “get away with” going backstage at the Miss Universe pageant to see the contestants naked.
Or, perhaps, his character came clear a decade later, during his first run for the Presidency, when he said of John McCain, who spent more than five years being tortured in a North Vietnamese prison, “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” This was from a man who avoided the war with four student deferments and a medical deferment for bone spurs in his heel. Larry Braunstein, a podiatrist in Jamaica, Queens, who provided Trump with this timely diagnosis, in the fall of 1968, rented his office from Fred Trump, Donald’s father. One of the late doctor’s daughters told the Times, “I know it was a favor.”
One day, a historian will win a contract to assemble the collected quotations of the forty-fifth and forty-seventh President—all the press-room rants, the Oval Office put-downs, the 3 A.M. Truth Social fever dreams. The early chapters will include: “Blood coming out of her—wherever.” “Horseface.” “Fat pig.” “Suckers.” “Losers.” “Enemies of the people.” “Pocahontas.” And then the volume will move on to “Piggy.” “Things happen.” And so on.
After a decade of constant presence on the political stage, Trump no longer seems capable of shocking anyone with the brutality of his language or the heedlessness of his behavior. His supporters continue to excuse his insouciant cruelty as “Trump being Trump,” proof of his authenticity. (The antisemitism of Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and a gaggle of group-chatting young Republican leaders is, similarly, included in the “big tent” of MAGA rhetoric.) Now, when a friend begins a conversation with “Did you hear what Trump said today?,” you do your best to dodge the subject. What’s the point? And yet the President really did seem to break through to a new level of degradation this week.
This past weekend brought a terrible and rapid succession of violent events. On Saturday afternoon, in Providence, an unidentified gunman on the Brown University campus shot and killed two students and wounded nine others in the midst of exam period. The killer has yet to be found. On Sunday, in Archer Park, near Bondi Beach, in Sydney, Australia, a father-and-son team, both dressed in black and heavily armed, reportedly took aim at a crowd of Jewish men, women, and children who were celebrating the first night of Hanukkah. At least fifteen people were killed, including an eighty-seven-year-old Holocaust survivor and a ten-year-old girl. The massacre was the latest in a long series of antisemitic incidents in Australia—and beyond.
Finally, on Sunday night, came the news that the actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, had been found dead in their home. Their bodies were discovered by their daughter Romy. Los Angeles police arrested their son, the thirty-two-year-old Nick Reiner. According to press reports, the investigation had focussed on him immediately not only because of his history of drug abuse but also because he had been behaving erratically the night before, in his parents’ presence, at a holiday party at the home of Conan O’Brien. Nick Reiner is being held, without bail, in Los Angeles County jail.
There was something about these three events that came in such rapid succession that it savaged the spirit—the yet-again regularity of American mass shootings, this time in Providence; the stark Jew hatred behind the slaughter in Australia; the sheer sadness of losing such a beloved and decent figure in the popular culture, and his wife, purportedly at the hands of their troubled son. It would be naïve to think that any leader, any clergy, could ease all that pain with a gesture or a speech. Barack Obama speaking and singing “Amazing Grace” from the pulpit in Charleston, South Carolina, or Robert F. Kennedy speaking in Indianapolis on the night of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.—that kind of moral eloquence is somehow beyond our contemporary imaginations and expectations. What you would not expect is for a President of the United States to make matters even worse than they were. But, of course, he did. “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote, on Truth Social, on Monday. He went on:
In the wake of the shocking death of Charlie Kirk, in September, there were many in the President’s circle who were quick to insist on the proper language of tragedy and mourning, and to ostracize those who failed to use it. As a citizen and an ardent liberal, Reiner was a harsh critic of the President; nor did his politics even remotely align with those of Charlie Kirk. Yet, when Reiner was asked about Kirk’s murder, he called it “an absolute horror,” and told Piers Morgan, “That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are.” And, when Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, delivered a speech of forgiveness at her husband’s memorial service in Arizona, Reiner was moved. “What she said, to me, was beautiful,” he said. “She forgave his assassin, and I think that is admirable.”
Remember what the President said by way of reply to Erika Kirk’s gesture of Christian love? “I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them.” And he said this in a eulogy. And so it is worth asking, do you know anyone quite as malevolent? At your place of work? On your campus? A colleague? A teacher? Much less someone whose impulses and furies in no small measure dictate the direction, fate, and temper of the country? Have you ever in your life encountered a character as wretched as Donald Trump?

But, of course, he did. “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote, on Truth Social, on Monday. He went on:
There is a lot to unpack here, from the shaky grammar to the decorous use of “passed away” to the all-caps diagnosis to the hideously gleeful sign-off: “rest in peace!” Future Trump scholars will sort through the details with the necessary deliberation. But it requires no deep thinking to assess Trump’s meaning. As if to assure the country that this was no passing case of morning dyspepsia, he declared, at a press conference, later in the day (using the kingly third-person approach) that Reiner “was a deranged person, as far as Trump is concerned.”
In the wake of the shocking death of Charlie Kirk, in September, there were many in the President’s circle who were quick to insist on the proper language of tragedy and mourning, and to ostracize those who failed to use it.

I think Trump is an extremely narcissistic POS. So we'll have to agree to disagree on that subject. Vance and Hegseth scare me too. Between the three of them the leadership of the USA is in incompetent hands.What a crock of shit, I want the absolute worst for my enemies. Erika Kirk is a crackpot, who forgives someone who murders your spouse. Libs live in a world where men are women and women are men and kids go to school dressed as cats, this is normal to them.
Biden was the worst president in US history but I accepted he won and lived with it. Libs think people can just arrive in any country and stay as long as they like. Trump is doing what he was elected to do. Bidens kid is a meth head criminal that needed a pardon to stay out of jail.
Mind you, Trump did win the FIFA Peace Prize. I wonder how much bribery and/or arm twisting he had to do to get that.
From my perspective Erika Kirk was putting on a show, hugging Trump like he was her daddy, and expressing her "Christian forgiveness" to her husband's murderer, in front of the assembled crowd.
Not that Christians do not preach or practice forgiveness. Many do. But that was over the top, and most probably totally insincere...
Trump has pardoned quite a few questionable criminals as well, at least those who can be of financial and/or political use to him, regardless of the severity of their crimes.What a crock of shit, I want the absolute worst for my enemies. Erika Kirk is a crackpot, who forgives someone who murders your spouse. Libs live in a world where men are women and women are men and kids go to school dressed as cats

I agree that Biden was probably the worst president in U.S. history. Not because of the grifting. But mostly because of his spending and wide open immigration policies, much the same way Trudeau hurt us.
Most presidents from Clinton on up, with the possible exception of the Bushes, were far wealthier after they left the presidency than before taking office. But none of them have blatantly tried as hard and openly as Trump has to achieve that goal.
What I really can't forgive is the fraud the Democrats perpetrated on the American public, in allowing Biden to run for office in 2024, when it was obvious to his inner circle that he had become mentally incompetent. I also blame Obama for that. I truly believe Obama was the Democrat party "puppet master" and was only allowing Biden to run again in the hopes the public could be fooled into re-electing him, which would effectively have given Obama a third term as the actual guy at the top.
Birf, I wonder if you are American or Canadian, as it seems to me only an American could approve of how Trump is trying to damage Canada's economy in his hope of either making us totally dependant on the U.S, or even to fulfil his dream of Canada being absorbed into the U.S. as just another State. As if...
First off, the worst president in modern U.S. history is your hero, the orange clownWhat a crock of shit, I want the absolute worst for my enemies. Erika Kirk is a crackpot, who forgives someone who murders your spouse. Libs live in a world where men are women and women are men and kids go to school dressed as cats
Biden was the worst president in US history but I accepted he won and lived with it. Libs think people can just arrive in any country and stay as long as they like. Trump is doing what he was elected to do. Biden’s kid is a meth‑head criminal that needed a pardon to stay out of jail.
named Trump.He is actively damaging the U.S. economy, not fixing it. By virtually every meaningful metric, jobs, growth, market performance, and recovery, the numbers were stronger under Biden than they are now. Screaming culture war nonsense and bullshit doesn’t change reality.
Second, let’s get the criminal argument straight.
The person who needed the presidency to avoid jail was Trump, not Hunter Biden. Trump is the one with convictions, indictments, court losses, fines, and a lifelong record of fraud, grifting, and lawlessness. Hunter Biden never ran the country, never set policy, and never hid behind the Oval Office to avoid accountability.
Dragging Hunter out as a distraction is just that, a deflection. It’s what you do when you can’t defend Trump’s actual record.
You can keep obsessing over culture‑war cartoons and made‑up liberal boogeymen, or you can face what’s happening right now: Trump’s chaos, incompetence, and self‑interest are once again front and center, and the country is paying the price.
Grasping at the past, trying to blame Biden still won’t save him, and it won’t fix the damage he’s already doing. The Repugs, unless they figure out a way to cheat, will be blown out of the water like a Venezuelan fisherman during the midterms.
Here's a perfect summation of people like Rosie and reiner, his kid was homeless at 15. This isn't my summation:
My last post about Rob Reiner. Check this out. He spent 10 straight years bashing Trump like The Don was the root of all evil - like America was gonna collapse if he didn’t tweet one more warning. Every rant, every interview, same script — Trump this, Trump that, democracy on life support. Dude made Trump his full-time job.
But here’s the irony nobody wants to talk about. While he was busy throwing his VILE remarks at Trump and those who support him, a real PROBLEM was sitting right next to him at home. And somehow that never made the speech circuit.
This is the problem with these silly a@@ Hollywood activists. They stay on 10 about other people’s flaws but real quiet when it’s time to look in the mirror. Politics becomes a costume — something you put on to feel righteous, to get applause, to signal you’re “one of the good ones.” Meanwhile, real accountability ? Nah, that doesn’t trend.
It’s easy to scream about a billionaire politician you’ll never have to actually deal with. It’s way harder to confront personal failures, family issues, and a SON mentally WACKED OUT in your own backyard. That kind of work doesn’t get likes or TV spots.
#robreiner #hollywoodnews
The article you posted is a bunch of nonsense and bullshit, and it’s clear it’s being weaponized for political reasons.
Rob Reiner and his wife did not abandon their son. Nick Reiner has openly talked about his long battle with drug addiction and mental health issues, and his parents repeatedly tried to help him. Nick himself said he was first sent to rehab at 15 years old and that he went through at least 17 rehab stays over the years.
Nick also explained that his periods of homelessness happened after he refused to return to rehab. That’s not parental neglect — that’s a painfully common reality with addiction, even in families with money and resources.
On top of that, Rob Reiner didn’t disown his son or pretend he didn’t exist. He worked with him creatively. Rob directed, and Nick co-wrote, the 2016 film Being Charlie, which is explicitly about addiction and recovery.
The film went on to win the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Voice Award in 2016 — an award given specifically for responsible portrayals of addiction and mental health.
Rob Reiner also has two other children who live normal, stable lives, which completely undermines the idea that this was some kind of systemic parenting failure.
What’s really happening here is obvious: because Rob Reiner has been outspoken in his hatred of Trump, your side suddenly wants to pretend his family tragedy is proof of moral failure. It’s the same ugly impulse that leads people to fantasize about dancing on the graves of De Niro and anyone else who dares say Trump is a clown and a classless POS.
Addiction doesn’t care about politics. Mental illness doesn’t check party affiliation. Using someone’s child, especially one who has struggled publicly and honestly, as a political cudgel is disgusting, especially for a side that made a spectacle out of Charlie Kirk's death and cancelled a bunch of folks who acted just like you are now.
If you actually care about truth instead of partisan cheap shots, you might want to start there.
Just to keep the record straight, Biden did not ultimately run in 2024. He absolutely hung on far too long, and that delay hurt the party but his exit wasn’t accidental or some Obama master plan. Pressure from within the party, including Nancy Pelosi, played a major role in finally pushing him out.
Where I do agree is that the timing mattered. Kamala Harris should have had a much longer runway if she was going to be the nominee. Dropping her into the race that late was always going to be an uphill battle.
That said, I don’t think she was the strongest choice for the moment. A candidate like Josh Shapiro or Gavin Newsom likely would have performed better with an electorate that wasn't ready for a black woman to be POTUS.

Of course they would.
It's always "one set of rules for you and another for me".
(There is a reason we used to call them the "Freeze Peach" crowd.)
Bitching and complaining is the default setting for that sort of right wing reactionary.
