I was proud to call Rob Reiner a dear friend. He was a great supporter of my work over the last decade. What happened to him and Michele was beyond tragic. I'll have more to say about it all in the coming days. My thoughts and love goes out to those who loved them.

We lost a giant yesterday. He was truly one of the greatest human beings on the planet. What a tragedy. Let's ignore the filth coming out of the soulless creature(s) in the WH and instead flood the zone with wonderful Rob Reiner quotes. RIP my hero.

Scott, let me express my sincere condolences on your loss. And it's awful to say, but I'm glad it was soo targeted and done by whom it was instead of being some random anti-Semitic attack.

I didn't watch the Army-Navy game.

I didn't see the CBS town hall.

Just give all of Russia to Ukraine. Problem solved. ;)

WTF! Why does the coin-operated conman have any say in the war between Ukraine and Russia anyways??????? I know actually - The felon is only interested in what he gets...not even what the US gets! This idiot is interested in the mineral rights from Ukraine and he will be guaranteed more lining of his pocket with all the money and crypto coming from his boyfriend Putin! Why is America putting up with this shit? Ukraine is our ALLY...or I should say was, before this felon got involved.

Zelensky must not give up any of their land to russia. Putin was the aggressor and the world (except Trump) knows. the agreement must make his nation whole again. Russians need to go home

I think the EU is coming to the realization that NATO will no longer exist as it did. I think that gives Zelenskyy the ability to agree not to join while still preserving the option to join whatever NATO becomes without the US. Because that's where this is headed.

(Also solidarity in your grieving. I never met him, but The Princess Bride is my all-time favorite movie, and I love many of his films. I cried last night. He touched so many lives and did so much good work for democracy and sanity.)

Rob Reiner was amazing. He was always my favorite on All in the Family, and he gave us Spinal Tap. He will be well and truly missed.

No, I did NOT watch the CBS/Erika Kirk propaganda fest. I will not consume any media offered by CBS/Parmount/etc again. Not one damned thing. What would I want to put money in Larry Ellison’s pocket?

Lily's avatar

Why would anyone watch CBS anymore let alone watch a Maga propaganda fest? I agree with you Kim - Why would anyone want to put money in any one of the Ellison's pockets! CBS sold out the truth for $$$$.

I appreciate that Scott watched the entire “town hall” and while I don’t consume corp media, I wanted to see Erika Kirk’s response to the question so I found a short clip online.Scott was accurate in that she appeared to be seething and refused to condemn Trump’s rhetoric.She blamed “the parents”….unbelievable. Also beyond belief was Trump’s response to the Reiner’s tragic death that I will not repeat. I weep for our country…😢

As one of a growing minority who grew up watching Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite (and so many others) broadcasting actual news on CBS, I now feel a moral obligation to ban that network from my home.

It has become the American Pravda.

I'm gonna start with the coin toss. Honestly, all respect to you Scott, but is this looking for sanity from an insane, demented fool? There is no rational way of thinking about this. He's insane, with his cognition slipping by the minute. Ugh. Enough. Not worth the energy.

I have the same reaction to Madam Kirk. I don't give a shit. Too bad corporate media does!

Finally, some sanity here! Zelenski is the only sane light in this madness. He really is a remarkable leader & I wish him continued resilience.

Thx, Scott. Reporting on Erika Kirk is absolutely something I don’t see elsewhere. While I understand why you watch, I refuse to give CBS or any of the propagandists or traffickers of outrage and fear my time. Killing their ratings is my strategy.

I didn’t watch—won’t watch—but I want someone to give me an idea of the BS they are trying to put over. More of the same or something new and equally insidious?

Many watch the local news and then late night hosts or sports. Forget the other trash on CBS, NBC, and ABC. Same with WGN. Fox is only watched for sports.

Sadly and angrily, Zelensky's offer to drop Ukraine's accession to NATO is "just" a recognition of the reality that Benedict Donald is a Quisling who has made it abundantly clear and explicit (redundancy intentional) in the National Security Strategy that he intends to abandon Ukraine and also to abandon the rest of Europe to whatever his master thinks he can get away with.

Thank you, Scott, for more inspiration! Erica should be home taking care of her kids as Charlie expected of all MAGA Stepford wives. #47's sports IQ is lower than his political IQ. Peace should be workable in reality, not in someone's twisted imagination! Trumpstein files are coming--any more distractions?
