Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

Terrific story about Rob Reiner being as much of a mensch in real life as he seemed.
I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.
