Anyone who thinks Trump's psych pathology has reached a 'new low' hasn't been paying attention.

The pushback against him in the last 36 hours by some Republicans re Trump's comments about the murder of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner is symptomatic of Trump's diminishing support from his base.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

One U.S. citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.

The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

Desperately trying to “look for the helpers” these days. Ahmed Al Ahmed is definitely one. And in a different way, so was Reiner.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

In 1998 Rob Reiner sponsored Prop. 10 raising the tobacco tax to pay for early childhood ed programs (First Five) then in 2006 he did Preschool for All, Prop. 82. Few celebrities make that kind of commitment to children's well being.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.

This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.

If Trump can say those horrible things in the aftermath of Rob Reiner’s murder, then every immigrant who was deported for Charlie Kirk comments should be allowed to return.

Every person who was fired should be rehired.

The President shouldn’t be held to a lower standard than everyone else.

The President can use the R slur, but Head Start programs can’t say “disability”.

The President can call female reporters “piggy”, but Head Start programs can’t say “women”.

ICYMI: Republicans cut provisions in the defense bill to make IVF affordable for servicemembers.

Why? Because Speaker Johnson doesn’t want our troops to be able to build their families.

Trump talks a big game about IVF—but he won't lift a finger to help people afford it.

This morning the very evil President of the USA very predictably mocked the death of a good man. He did so to distract from his crimes, but also because he’s evil and can’t help rejoicing over the murder of his critics.

Go ahead, Donold. Have your fun, when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner.
They like to cloak themselves in religion…
Then read it to them.
Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.”

Let them “defend” it.
