What evidence do you have that Rob abused his son? The only evidence I've seen is that his son abused drugs. From B4L's link:

In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.

Based on that it sounds like a junkie depearate for money and his parents decided to deny it out of "tough love" so he killed them. I could be wrong.

Yeah, hard to say without more details. It could have been as simple as a druggie son killing his parents because he wanted money... Or, he could have been passed around in Hollywood power circles for his entire childhood and this was his only way to get back at them.

I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

But Reiner certainly fits the profile. Uber-elite small hat lecturing the rest of society about their politics.

Wow. What a wierd take. There are two political parties in America and they both suck ass. Yet you're ready to direct hate and one side over the other. I really feel bad for you to be honest.

At least he has identified the correct "other side" this morning, and it's not exactly a political party. Not that the small hat club uber elite aren't having a fine time lecturing. So it's political and they're partying. But that's not exactly what that club is which (as George Carlin noted) we ain't in.

You know she wore a small hat too right?

Side note. It's very odd that I can only see your picture of Ruth Bader Ginsberg when I'm clicking to respond. Otherwise the picture doesn't show. I noticed that when I post pictures sometimes. That's very wierd.

Back to the "small hat club." That included Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand and Peter Thiel. I'm NOT a fan of Peter Thiel as he actually IS an elitist who has a vampire like obsession with blood transfusions from young people in order to extend his life. Oh but he supports Trump and he donated to Ron Paul so....? I despise the Ben Shapiros and Dennis Pragers of the world because they are Zionists and seek to bend U.S. foreign policy so that it supports Israel. I have nothing against Israel, I just don't believe in sacrificing Palestinian children on its behalf. If there is any evidence of Rob Reiner doing that then forget him. But all I've seen is that he was your typical leftist which I have no more love or hate for than your typical leftist. Oh, and Ayn Rand was a rabid Zionist as well. Forget her too.

Not the way I define it. You'll have to ask @CaptUSA what he meant when he brought it up, but I define the small hat club as the manipulative Hasbara shills. But at least one of those three have more in common with their often Orthodox opposition. You know. The big hat club.

And yeah, pics are acting up for me too.

Rob Reiner seems far more "big hat club" than "small hat club" based on your definition.

How Rob Reiner’s political activism led to Shock and Awe, his film about the US invasion of Iraq​

American director Rob Reiner, who was found dead in his LA home on Sunday, was best known for defining moments in pop culture cinema of the 1980s and 1990s. However, his filmography also reflects a growing political consciousness – one that culminated in Shock and Awe, his exploration of the US invasion of Iraq.

In the 2017 drama, which screened at Dubai International Film Festival, Reiner told the true story of a team of US media company Knight Ridder reporters who, in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, found evidence of falsified intelligence about weapons of mass destruction. However, their findings were largely ignored by major media outlets in a country swept by nationalist sentiment post 9/11.


“I wanted to make this movie right after the invasion of Iraq,” Reiner told The National in August 2018. “But I don't think I could have done that. You had to be so careful around that time, as the national mood was a strange one.

“It is a very tough reckoning to realise that America was wrong. But this film is all about the importance of the truth and getting the truth out.”

The drama starred Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, James Marsden, Milla Jovovich and Jessica Biel, alongside Reiner, who played an editor.

Known for his political activism, Reiner was a supporter of the Democratic Party and a vocal critic of US President Donald Trump.

In the week of Shock and Awe's release in 2017, Reiner joined several Arab filmmakers to criticise Trump who, during his first term, unilaterally recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – a move that was criticised by Palestinian officials and other Arab nations.

Reiner, who was Jewish, signed a petition led by Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir slamming the decision.

“We stand in solidarity with the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, and an open Sacred City that belongs to all Muslims, Christians and Jews,” the petition read. “In your decision, Mr President, you have created more animosity, less faith and profound sorrow in the hearts and minds of all justice lovers in the world.”

Speaking to The National in 2017, Reiner was more scathing of the US President.

“Right now we've got a president who says all Muslims should be banned from the country. We've got a president who says we should put a wall on our southern border to keep out rapists,” he said. “We've got a president who is attacking the law enforcement agencies and the media, all the outlets that carry out checks and balances on those in power. We've got a president who is turning his back on science and doesn't acknowledge global warming.

“The man has no concept of geopolitical events or how things are interconnected. There was no consideration that went into this decision, no outreach to allies in the Arab world, or even the non-Arab world to see what the impact of something like this is.”

In its review of Shock and Awe, The National called it a film “that deserves to be seen”.

“The story it tells is simply too important to be ignored for another 15 years, particularly in the era of growing fake news,” the review read.

Reiner, 78, was found dead alongside his wife Michele Singer, 68. Authorities said the deaths are being investigated as an “apparent homicide”.

He wasn't just a cardboard cutout. He was a mixed bag. He was right at least as often as a broken clock. However...

“[Y]ou can’t negotiate with that, you have to say either Hamas goes away and the Palestinian Authority takes over all that region and deal with some kind of honest broker here, and create the two-state solution…”

He then paralleled the terrorist group with the Tea Party.

“Anytime you’re dealing with an extreme group, you cannot negotiate with them, and the way to do it is to eliminate it,” Reiner said. “With the Tea Party, you have to go through political thing, you have to wait till 2020 to redistrict, but that is really tough stuff.”

King then asked Reiner what should be done about the Gaza situation and Israel.

“Well, there again, you’ve got a horrible situation where you have an extreme faction, the Hamas, that controls Gaza, that is written into their playbook, the destruction of Israel, the destruction of every Jew on the planet,” Reiner said to King. “You can’t negotiate with that you have to say either Hamas goes away and the Palestinian authority takes over all that region and deal with some kind of honest broker here, and create the two-state solution.”

Rob Reiner wants to pick Palestinians’ leaders for them

Hollywood director Rob Reiner says you have to “eliminate” Hamas not negotiate with it (even as Israel is negotiating with it). And Palestinians have no right of self-determination…

Lol - me saying that "I don't know" and "I wouldn't be surprised either way" is directing hate?

No. This is what you said that is I believe is hateful.

But Reiner certainly fits the profile. Uber-elite small hat lecturing the rest of society about their politics.

I put that part in bold so that you couldn't miss it.

Edit: Cut out a bunch of extra stuff to just focus on one issue.

It broke the normie firewall because his agenda has been exposed as an oligarchic scam.

People were willing to put up with his antics as long as they felt he was disrupting the establishment at their behest and for their benefit.

But when he sells the country out to Israel, covers up the Epstein files, doubles people’s healthcare premiums, and insists that affordability is a hoax, people are a lot less inclined to look past what an insufferable asshole he is.

Real Texas Conservative​

The tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele on December 14, 2025, have cast a somber shadow over Hollywood, prompting reflections on legacy, loss, and the lingering scars of political division.

In response, President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post on December 15, 2025 – framing their passing through the lens of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) – has ignited controversy.

Yet, when examined against the backdrop of Reiner’s decade-long barrage of vitriolic rhetoric against Trump, the statement emerges not as callous, but as an appropriate blend of pointed satire, genuine sympathy, and a timely concern for mental health. This piece builds an ironclad case for its fittingness, rooted in factual history, psychological insight, and legal precedent.

To understand the appropriateness of Trump’s words, one must first confront the unyielding hostility Reiner directed at him since 2015.

Reiner, celebrated for directing classics like “This Is Spinal Tap” and “The Princess Bride,” transformed into one of Trump’s most vocal detractors after his presidential candidacy. In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reiner labeled Trump a “con man” and “dangerous,” warning he would erode democratic norms. This escalated over the years.

By 2018, Reiner tweeted comparisons of Trump to Hitler, accusing him of fostering fascism and white supremacy. His 2024 documentary “God & Country” explicitly tied Trump’s influence to Christian nationalism, portraying it as a threat to American democracy.

Reiner’s social media feed became a relentless stream of attacks, calling Trump a “pathological liar,” “sociopath,” and “existential danger” in posts that amassed millions of views.

Even in 2025, shortly before his death, Reiner urged boycotts of Trump-related events, framing his re-election as apocalyptic. These were not isolated jabs but a sustained campaign, often personal and inflammatory, that Reiner himself admitted stemmed from deep-seated outrage.
This history of antagonism, predominantly initiated by Reiner, sets the stage for why Trump’s response is not only defensible but proportionate.
Far from escalating the feud posthumously, Trump’s post acknowledges Reiner’s talents – “a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star” – while attributing the tragedy to TDS, a “mind-crippling disease” fueled by “raging obsession.” This framing isn’t baseless invention; it’s grounded in credible psychological analysis.

Critics have questioned the timing of Trump’s post, issued just a day after the tragedy, as potentially too raw or opportunistic. However, this immediacy is precisely what makes it authentic and effective, aligning with Trump’s longstanding style of direct, unfiltered leadership in a 24/7 news cycle where narratives solidify within hours.

Historical precedents abound; consider how President Lincoln addressed critics’ deaths or political losses with prompt wit during the Civil War, using fresh moments to foster national introspection and prevent distorted legacies. Similarly, Trump’s swift response cuts through emerging media spin – already framing Reiner solely as a heroic anti-Trump voice – by injecting balance and psychological truth right when public discourse peaks.

Delaying would risk seeming calculated or detached, whereas this timing underscores sincerity, especially paired with the post’s sympathetic close. In essence, it’s not haste but strategic candor, transforming grief into a teachable moment on division’s dangers before emotions calcify.

Transitioning from personal history to broader insight, TDS has been recognized by mental health experts as a manifestation of intense political polarization leading to real psychological strain. Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, in analyses shared on platforms like the Mark Simone Show, described TDS as rooted in “mass hysteria,” where individuals project anxieties onto a political figure, resulting in paranoia, chronic stress, and potential health declines.

Research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology supports this, linking partisan hatred to elevated cortisol levels, anxiety disorders, and weakened well-being. Trump’s reference to TDS isn’t mockery; it’s a diagnostic observation, highlighting how Reiner’s fixation – evident in his own words – might have contributed to personal tolls, especially amid reports of familial strife surrounding the deaths.

By raising this, Trump shifts the narrative from vendetta to vigilance, urging awareness of how ideological obsessions erode lives.

Moreover, the post’s satirical edge aligns with a storied tradition of political commentary, making it intellectually apt rather than insensitive. Trump employs hyperbole – “driving people CRAZY” amid America’s “Golden Age” – to underscore the irony of Reiner’s paranoia against tangible achievements like record economic growth, Middle East peace accords, and energy independence during his administration. This mirrors Jonathan Swift’s exaggerated proposals in “A Modest Proposal” or Abraham Lincoln’s witty rebukes of critics, using humor to expose societal flaws without literal malice.

Legally, such expression is shielded by the First Amendment; the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell affirms that satirical opinions about public figures, absent provable falsehoods, are protected speech. Trump’s “reportedly due to” phrasing acknowledges speculation, ensuring it remains opinion, not defamation.

What elevates the statement to appropriateness is its undercurrent of grace amid past unkindnesses, including Trump’s rare direct engagement with Reiner pre-tragedy despite the instigations. The post concludes with “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

This isn’t perfunctory; it’s a sincere extension of sympathy, humanizing both parties and transcending the feud while modeling reciprocity in an era of unrelenting acrimony. Trump’s words match rhetoric’s intensity yet cap it with compassion and a mental health caveat, turning potential gloating into a nudge toward understanding division’s toll.

In conclusion, Trump’s response is ironclad in its fittingness because it reciprocates a decade of Reiner’s attacks with measured satire, validates psychological realities, and prioritizes sympathy over score-settling. It doesn’t diminish the tragedy but illuminates division’s costs, encouraging reflection.

The only question is how insane will he go over the next 3 years

I think not much will change and it will continue as is. Trump has a big mouth but for the most part his policy is acceptable.

The drug addict son...so which drugs are we talking? Lots of talk about heroin, but no mention of a single SSRI? 17 rehabs in 17 years and no SSRI's prescribed?
