Rob Reiner's career began on television, and after leaving "All in the Family" he continued to perform, transforming tonally into a sort of gentle Jewish Buddha onscreen.

DJT is repugnant and unfit for office. He has consistently degraded female reporters and women in general with no pushback.
His misogyny is on full display and not one Republican condemns him.
Republicans are a bunch of cowards and their silence is deafening.
And YES, “This is sick shit!”

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
