    “Rob Reiner was a very liberal Democrat who had very strong criticism of President Trump,” Kurtz said. “And yet, I have to say,  that for the president of the United States to take this family tragedy in which both Reiner and his wife were killed and say that it’s because of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ I thought was well beneath him and beneath the office. And I think it would have been better if the president had made no comment.”

    What dank hole do these people crawl out of? Where has Howard Kurtz been since 2015 that this is surprising to him?

    Sounds like he should be fired from his pretend reporter role since he’s apparently missed out on the last 10 years of news.

      Bunch of conservative assholes cheered on Pelosi’s hammer attacker, even memed it up.

      Fuck em all. Conservatives are the bane of humanity and humankind.

        MAGAs aren’t really political conservatives. Political conservatives are people like Biden, Pelosi and Schumer. MAGAs are cultist domestic terrorists.

    Everything that comes out of his mouth is beneath the office.

    When he says something awful like this, though, I figure there is probably another story that he’s trying to bury with manufactured outrage. I suspect Fox is on board and is with amplifying the non-news item to bury the real news item.

    They will keep supporting him regardless.

    Don’t look to Fox for any sort of epiphany.

    Let’s apply the Kimmel rule. Trump should have his presidency cancelled for the horrendous shit he spewed about another’s death. If usa ever survives this they should put rules in place so this never happens again. If the rules are already in place then maybe america deserves all of this because they won’t even defend themselves from the known enemy within.

    When you’re fucking cheerleaders are criticizing you you know you fucked up. But unfortunately we’re talking about Trump here. All he’s going to do is suddenly decide that Fox News is no longer his friend and start criticizing them.

    To condemn him would have been to say something like

    “What Trump said was beyond disgusting and is another example of him acting the way you would expect a toddler to act. Anyone who supports him after this has something wrong with them”

    And they should have said this right after the footage of him saying he would like to grab young girls by the pussy or when he did an impression of someone with a learning disability on stage.

    Too little, too late.

      or when he did an impression of someone with a learning disability on stage.

      I’m almost willing to give him a pass on this one since he’s got inside knowledge on what it’s like to be someone with a learning disability.

    Call me old fashioned but I think the purple weaver bird beneath the office doesn’t string take the forty knives.

    You never know when the mark will realize they’ve been conned … the cognitive dissonance lasts for so long, and then one day they start to use their brains again, just a little … and for some people this day was yesterday.

    Somehow it amazes me that this is the issue. January 6th didn’t do it, the mass murder of South American fishermen didn’t do it, the sexual assaults and rapes didn’t do it, the crypto-coin bribery schemes didn’t do it … Jeffrey Epstein and the pedo ring got close, no doubt about it, but not quite … and finally, talking shit about a guy who died, that’s their line, that’s indecent, that’s unacceptable.

    Well OK, that’s a weird world view, but that’s what they got.

      I think it’s more like all those other things got them closer and closer, and this last thing was the final straw.
