| Peace through superior firepower  |
This is a political thread. In order to not violate my own guidelines by interjecting political commentary into apolitical threads, I'm starting this thread. I first saw Reiner on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s. He was a very funny and talented man. No one can deny this. He was also a Trump-hating leftist shitbag who didn't give the first fuck about this country or the people in it (the great unwashed in 'flyover country'- IOW, you and me). I don't fucking care that he's dead. Wait- that's not exactly true. It would be more accurate to say that I derive satisfaction from there being one less very loud, very conspicuous Trump hater sending out his ignorant tweets and running his suck on "news" shows. No more bullshit from you, Carl, and that is just fine with me. He lived until age 98. Even under normal circumstances, I can't bring myself to mourn much for people who have essentially won the lottery of the human race. He made it all the way to the end. He had his time. Much of it, he used to make people a bit happier, but towards the end, all he was, was a loudmouthed leftist spewing his ignorant opinions. See ya. Your meathead of a son should be next, and soon, please. Yet another ignorant leftist loudmouth. He's no better- perhaps worse, even, demandng that President Trump be removed from office. Ever hear of the Constitution, you commie asshole? FOAD. Follow daddy into the great whatever. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | ||

I suppose the "Dick Van Dyke" show was Reiner's biggest claim to fame, I loved that show back then, but he was a minor comic talent at best. He had the good luck or sense to associate himself with truly funny people so there's that. His film directing and screenwriting credits are pretty thin. He did come across as a decent guy but his horrible, hate-filled son would seem to put a lie to that "decency". Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I believe his “biggest claim to fame” is that he sired Rob “Meathead” Reiner. --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

When Bettie Davis received word of Joan Crawford's heart attack and subsequent death in 1977, she allegedly said, "You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” I feel the same about Carl Reiner. Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. | |||

Yup, thought the same when he croaked and was wishing it’d been his son instead. But Carl was about as bad, so GFW, Carl. ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | |||

Thank you for that, Para. I was starting to get woozy from blood loss from biting my tongue when the subject first came up. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

 "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Archie Bunker was right about just about everything. The meathead stayed a meathead. | |||
