    The full quote is:

    A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

    Good job America. You’ve really put your best foot forward.

    Fucking cunts.

        America elected him twice. That says something right there.

        This second round they are stripping away freedoms and rights yet the non-pro Trump people are just rolling over and letting it happen.

        I think America wants this.

          Yes, it says that the US is not as democratic as it pretends.

          Because he lost the popular vote. Both times.

        And yet Americans have managed to elect the absolutely least suitable person on earth as their president. Twice.

        It’s literally his job to speak for all Americans.

        Those Americans who disagree need to work much harder harder to fix the problems of their country which allowed him to become the leader (twice).

          Since when has Trump EVER been good at ANY job?

          Again, he does not speak for all Americans. Period.

            I never claimed he was good at it. Just that speaking for America is the presidents job.

            Yes, a job that he is doing poorly at, but it’s what you lot elected him (twice) to do.

              Again, no. No it is not. He was not elected by the people. Do you not know how elections function in the US? You reek of prideful ignorance. Meaning, you sound American.

                sigh

                He was elected by the system that the USA uses to choose their leaders.

                Regardless of how flawed that system is, he was chosen by the system of that country to be it’s leader.

                you sound American.

                So now you’re just insulting me.

                  Yea, the system elected him. Not all Americans.

                  Interesting how you cannot separate the two. Are you the kind of person to blame every single Russian for Putin? Every Chinese person for Xi? Everyone in the Philipines responsible for Duterte?

                  The list goes on… You blindly blaming the people for a problem that CLEARLY exists with systems and power structures is providing cover for how such people corrupt and take control. Your ignorance damages the world and helps only those in power retain control by dividing their opposition.

                  You have a shameful understanding of the world.

        Sadly, as the president, he does speak for all the people of the US, Like Carney does for Canada or Doug Fraud does for Ontarians

          No, he doesn’t.

          Representing a country DOES NOT EQUATE to representing every single person in said country. This is like saying Hitler represented every single German. It’s laughable.

            When the American president says he wants to take Canada as the 51st state, we don’t look at it lightly.

            When Trump and his administration trash talk Canada, it reflects on all of America. I personally hold all of America responsible.

              Ok. Then I’ll hold every Canadian responsible for the murders of native residential school children.

                If you like, sure. It is a fucking travesty in our past and a solid reason to go after the church behind it.

            He may not represent all US population views, tho when he SPEAKS he speaks for the US. How do we separate that? It sure seems when Doug put out that ad that ALL Ontarians and all Canadians were lumped into the same boat (all negotiations are OFF), even though no one outside Ontario COULD even vote for Doug. I didn’t vote for Doug, he doesn’t represent my views, but he speaks for Ontario… where I live

      I didn’t know much about Rob Reiner or think about him before he was murdered. But this guy has one impressive filmography, he was the director behind The Princess Bride and A Few Good Men? This guy is a directorial heavyweight and a strong civil rights supporter. Even the mocking that South Park gave to him didn’t make him look dumb (smoking is bad, OK? It just is).

      The sheer anger and hatred that Trump spouted is disgusting, but fully par on course with Trump’s disgusting behavior.
