Reiner should have spent more time with his son's early development. One can be successful in business and a failure at home. Some can be successful at both. Prioritization. Religion is a key for success.

How do you know he didn't? I know plenty of people that had children that were raised right and later developed drug problems. Doesn't mean the parents did anything wrong. And it's been pretty well reported that Rob and his wife tried over a long period of time to get help for their son.

A solid hunch that a hate fueled man with severe TDS probably isn't likely to be the best father figure. No science to back that up, just eyes and ears and a functioning brain capable of observation and forming logical judgements and conclusions.

Being worth $200 million and paying for a few rehab stints for your drug addicted son is pretty much the bare minimum. There is nothing at all special about that, sorry.

---

A lot of words to say you pulled it out of your ass to fit your priors.
Rob directed a screenplay that his son had wrote (Being Charlie), and later apologized to his son for not believing him about some of the things that happened in rehab. He also allowed his son to live on the property with them. Looks like he was doing more than "paying for a few rehab stints."

There's no justification for something like that from anyone, much less the President of the United States.

Reiner was the original leftist on TV. Hollywood paired him with another leftist that played like he was a Nixon backing conservative. Meathead became a cult leader for the left as he continued to make a fool of Archie. He . led the way for all the TV wackos we have today.

He directed several iconic movies and was talented in that craft. As was his former wife, who has also passed, Penny Marshall.

Condolences to his many friends and his family. May he and his wife R.I.P.

Basically what every rich parent does when one of their children is an addict. The rich person who does NOT do this would be the rare exception. You could be right, they could have been the best parents in the world, but an uber wealthy person letting a drug addicted son stay with them or paying for their rehab doesn't really move the needle.

Imagine if Vince young died and a bunch of posters on here started these hateful, spiteful posts spitting on his grave.

They'd all be permanently banned and possibly doxxed.

I don't understand why he continupusly gets support when nearly everything he does is frankly, evil.

Imagine if Vince Young had devoted his life to hating Johnny Football and pulling for him to be locked up for life or removed from society...for completely irrational reasons, because he was consumed with a burning hatred for him. And that thanks to that type of rhetoric, many people wanted Johnny Football dead, and several came pretty close, with one almost blowing his head completely off on live TV.

Then one day Vince Young gets shanked at Cheesecake Factory, and Johnny Football tweets something insensitive about the guy who hated him with every fiber in his body. That's a better analogy. HTH

If you need help making sense of the world, I am always here.

Most aren't also in the position to make a movie about a screenplay that their drug-addled son wrote about his struggles with addiction. But you conspicuously left that part out.

Ok, he could have been the best parent ever, I just highly highly doubt it, based on the aggregate of my life's experiences. I'd be shocked if Rob Reiner was a model of good parenting. But acknowledge that I could be wrong, as could you.

He said something mean in a tweet.

His opposition literally enables and condones infanticide.

Save it, Aggie "for" Christ

His odds of being better able to help his son would have gone up substantially had he fostered a relationship with Christ. That is worth far more than millions in net worth.

It's rare for Trump to miscalculate the impact of his tweets. They get his enemies wound up and supporters motivated. The haters (same people every time), have a canned freak out response almost word for word. Anyone who's not a complete moron sees the pathology...and the puppet strings...

Separating wheat from chaff, I can't figure out how this tweet works to his benefit.

---

You answered it. He absolutely kicked a hornet's nest and he's looking to see who scurries to defend Reiner and who calls out Reiner for his hate.

He wants to see exactly what this thread delivers. A separation of folks who can still speak honestly about a dead man and those who would defend the devil himself if Trump said a mean thing about him.

---

Trumps post is doing nothing to prove your theory…his post was in poor taste, I would say he definitely didn't read the room before hitting post…there is literally nothing to gain for Trump and everything to lose.

---

This. When people who hate you and wish you dead die, it is best to just say nothing. Bad Trump.

---

I think having been shot, during an assassination attempt, has pushed him a little bit further to a give a s17# attitude. Before the assassination attempts, having been bombarded with constant barrages of unfounded lawfare bull crap, been called Hitler by the Democratic Party leadership and other vile despicable names President Trump's GAS attitude in responses lacked decorum.
Was it wrong to state this in a post on social media, yes it was. However, I will cut him slack because of the actual Hell he and his family as endured at the hands of leftist progressives both at the top of the Democratic Party and their minions.

Yes. Rob has admitted that there are things he would have done differently in dealing with his son's addiction. Most every parent in that situation would say the same thing. Sometimes what you think is your best isn't right or even enough.

It's possible to really appreciate someone's body of work but also be glad that they aren't around anymore.

That's where I'm at.

Very much out of line by Trump. Would still rather have him in office than any democrat in the country.

I do think he has become calloused by a decade of attacks, some of which tried to jail him while others tried to kill him - nearly quite successfully. And he sees the vitriol from folks like Rob Reiner that he sees playing a role in his own near death. It is not an excuse but I do think it explains his mindset. But in the end, you need to be a better man and squash that urge to tap dance on someone's grave.

I'm a huge Trump supporter, but I'm really disappointed in that post of his.

I believe most conservatives, republicans and posters on this board agree. The responses aren't defending President Trump's post but are a response to those trying to use this as justification to paint all President Trump's policies an actions as wrong, illegal and unconstitutional.

That is such a horrendous analogy. And then you went and doubled down by saying that everything Trump does is evil. You're trying to lecture people by giving a really bad analogy and then out of the other side of your mouth you're telling everyone who supports deporting illegal criminals, cleaning up major city streets, and trying to better our country as wrong. Spare me.

I don't like the post and wish he wouldn't have addressed it at all, but I like what he's trying to do to better our country. Stop trying to act like one thing can happen without the other.

One of the most psychotic things I've seen from Trump (and that says alot). Every single poster here decried any anonymous twitter user or Joe Blow on the street who made light of or relished Charlie Kirk's death but the POTUS is dancing on Reiner's grave and blaming Reiner's political views for his death (the very thing you ALL were condemning the others for regarding the Kirk assassination).

This is not ok.

---

many people probably don't even know that reiner went on piers morgan after kirk's memorial and vociferously condemned the murder and praised erika kirk for her eulogy and message. all this "reiner was just as bad as trump" coping is hollow.

---

Its literally trending as a top story related to this.

So Reiner gets a cookie for not following the Kimmel plan after Kirk's assassination? A public political assassination?

By god, let's give Reiner all the posthumous golden cookies of peace because he said he thinks it wrong to assassinate people over the political / religious beliefs.

---

You are lost. Reiner and his wife were murdered by their own son. It literally nothing to do with Trump, but because your dear sweet baby leader went out of his way to make it about himself, you not only defend his words but justify them because you see anyone on the left as evil and an enemy. Rob and his wife have 3 other kids and they lost their parents and their brother in a single night and you think this is a political football to use to score points with?

Seek help.

---

Actually, maybe take your own advice. Some of the vitriol you put out isn't much different than what Reiner and most of the left have said for a decade. The two are not mutually exclusive. Your own hatred has you lecturing people for the truth.

Truth can be ugly. Truth can be unnecessary as it is here with Trump, but it's interesting, you don't condemn Reiner at all for the horrible things he has said. Did he deserve to be murdered especially by his son? Absolutely not. But that doesn't excuse what he said the past decade.

I am sorry for the rest of his family, especially having to deal with this from their own sibling, I can't even imagine. And again, I reiterate, I do not think Trump should've said what he did, but spare me ignoring the vitriol from the left and from this man in particular.

---

I made bold the difference between conservatives and leftist progressives. Conservatives denounce inappropriate actions, illegal behavior, immorality and dishonesty. Leftist progressives advocate for inappropriate actions, illegal behavior, immorality and dishonesty.

Some of us obviously hold the office of the POTUS in higher regard than others.

I can't imagine saying the things Trump says about the deceased no matter what I thought of them. Talk about TDS.

Wait, you actually believe Renner and his wife were physically murdered because they have 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'?

---

Well, Trump said it, so.....

---

Well, what was Nick arguing with his parents about at Conan's party?

I have no idea. Could have been anything. Could have been about Trump.

At some point it simply does not matter. Trump is getting the exact reaction he wanted.

And none of it bothers me in the least. Its a balance to the glorification of Reiner and the glossing over the hate and lies he spread over the past decade.

---

What kind of ****ed up moron wants a "reaction" from posting about someone's murder?

Apparently you do.
Look at how you're reacting to this.

Leftists…unable or unwilling to be intellectually honest and make very basic comparisons and distinctions. Trump isn't celebrating the death of Reiner and his wife, unlike those who celebrated Kirk's death and wished the would-be assassin hadn't missed Trump.

I wouldn't call Trump's truth social post a full on celebration of Reiner's death, but it's not that far off from one. Saying that Reiner was killed because of his angry TDS has a pretty strong "he got what was coming to him" vibe.

This show, and Reiner/O'Connor are probably at the top of my best sitcom EVER. I mean EVER. I might drop it below MASH but not sure. Truly some of the best comedy and drama ever to grace the tube.

Will miss Reiners melt down post that he would make on bluesky. X post were diabolical till he finally crashed out. The whole setting himself on fire thing was hilarious.
