Look, of course I know the answer to this, but when you see a clip like this, you have to wonder why anybody interviews the president about anything. You would get more interesting and useful results interviewing a random person at a bus stop. Probably more informed, too.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

FUCK ICE AND FUCK THE GOTTDAMM GOP
My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

This is from the prosecutors opening statement in the judge Dugan trial, but under cross, the investigating agent just admitted they have no idea what “business as usual” looks like in the Milwaukee courthouse. Not going well for the government here.
Judge Dugan's clerk informed her that ICE was in the hallway.
"Then it was no longer business as usual. Then it was no longer a routine day," the prosecutor says.

Anyway it goes without saying but this is obviously much worse than what people on the right claimed was a firing offense when it came to charlie kirk. Therefore donald trump is now impeached. Sorry I don't make the rules

LISTEN UP, @democrats.org @wisdems.org @baldwin.senate.gov - we all know who the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT should be backing and it is NOT putin.
Kaja Kallas: we have to be really clear-eyed. We have one aggressor and one victim. And the one that needs security guarantees is Ukraine, not Russia.
In last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia
