Reiner: Trump Bringing U.S. to a Point Where We Might Lose Democracy

Reiner said..

"This moment that we're in right now, it goes way beyond Jimmy Kimmel. It goes way beyond knocking comedians off the air. This is directly out of the authoritarian playbook. Control the media, do whatever you can to control the media so that only your message is getting out. If you look at authoritarians across the globe that's exactly what they do..."

---

And that is exactly what his side has been trying to do for decades. (And often succeeding at)

Control the universities. Control the corporate media. Control Hollywood and peoples entertainment…always push a message. Control tax payer media (NPR). Control government institutions and museums. Try to get talk radio under their control or silenced with "fairness doctrine" stuff. And label any views they don't like "racist, sexiest, homophobic"

It's amazing that Reiner can not see the fascist fat man in the mirror is himself and the Western Left

---

Reiner is a putz.

---

Nice to know you have me in the same camp with Rob Reiner.

---

You're not in the Western Left, are you?

---

Actually, I am one of an almost extinct group called the Objective Right. When our leadership succeeds we give credit where credit is due. When they **** up and make bad decisions, we push back and call them out.

Way too many posters here that truly believe Trump walks on water and can do no wrong. I won't mention any names. LOL!

---

Naturally no president is perfect.

However I would be curious which 3 presidents in your lifetime had a bigger mess to clean up and did a better job of doing it within his first year.

---

Agree with that for the most part. He has done a spectacular job on most things. Unfortunately he has ****ed up the economy royally.

---

Trump-onomics might not work

But he had to try something

Post-cold war DC policy has enriched a small elite in America and "export manufacturing jobs overseas & import service worker semi-slaves by the millions" has led to a new gilded age situation at home where most millennials can not even afford a home of their own. While a small elite gets ever richer and richer.

"Only 18 million out of 72 million millennials are homeowners". And remember the youngest millennials are now 29 years old. Next year there will be none under 30 years of age.

Most will never own a home at all….ever

Real wages are functionally stagnant. There has been a chronic long problem with college grads finding jobs. 58% of recent college grads don't have jobs…that number used to be 20% in the 1990s.

Marriage rates and birth rates are reaching crisis levels and still dropping in the USA. Millions of young men have just given up on a job and stopped looking at all. The "Not in Work-Not in school" category….such large groups of aimless depressed young males represent big trouble coming.

And of course while the USA practiced free trade and threw open our markets… the rest of the world repaid us by cheating and created various hidden tariffs and protection schemes to protect themselves and take advantage of our businesses and workers.

More and more young men are neither in education, work, or looking for a job.

Let me dumb this down a little bit. The United States of America has 340 million citizens out of 8 billion people in the world.

We are easily the largest consumer in the world, and have just 4 1/4 percent of the world's population. For a variety of reasons, we cannot produce everything we consume.

---

Oh I actually think we can.

Or at least Canada, the USA, Mexico together as a trading bloc could.

(Not that we should....it would drive up costs and be unncessary)

But I think you underestimate how blessed the USA is....and how with Canada and Mexico a North American trade union would be essentially a real life autarky

Combined we would be near 500 million people and some of the most productive farm land on earth. The USA alone produces enough food calories by agriculture to potentially feed the world's population.

---

Actually, I kinda like this idea. But good luck with that. Trump is hammering Mexico and Canada almost as badly as China. My biggest fear is Trump's ego will not allow him to change paths. I am hopeful the Supreme Court will do it for him.

---

Because right now they have been cheating on trade with us as well.

I understand the general dislike for Trump policy.

But what is the alternative? Go back to the status quo?

---

Yes. Towards the end of Biden's term, the stagnant economy was showing signs of improvement. All Donald Trump had to do with the economy was DO NOTHING. Just like when Biden took office, on immigration all he had to do was DO NOTHING!

Trump's first item of business was to start a trade war with the world and tariff everybody. Our economy has been in decline ever since. Trump kinda reminds me of a blinged up NFL player that scores a touchdown in the third quarter and gives us a fancy touchdown dance with his team losing 55-7.

Donald Trump does not suck. His economy and international trade policies absolutely suck.

That would still have not solved the fundamental long term economic issues the country is facing.

You know the same issues that keep the US electorate clamoring for change and discontented with the economic step up.

Trump or no Trump.

Capital moving jobs overseas....importing lower wage workers home.....and the rise of two tiered economy of high wage earners (Medical, Finance, Tech, Politics) and low wage service workers.

That is something the USA is dealing with and that is rolling other Western nations as well.

Sitting back and doing nothing is not an option. Because someone will come along. And next time it will be someone probably more radical than Bernie.

Agree. Congress is inept, but they aren't truly to blame. The voters have voted in a Congress that is inflexible, averse to compromise, and therefore gets very little done. We are the ones to blame. We could fix it if we wanted to.

I still think letting Trump have complete control over tariffs is a bridge too far, for even this Congress. They should have demanded at least some minimal level of cooperation. It might have forced Trump's team to actually come up with a plan, and smootgened many things out. Might have made it easier for world leaders to swallow. But it is what it is. Congress stood by and let 1 man gamble America's economic future. All we can do is rue our past votes, and watch to see how it works out.

Polls show most Americans are happy with their personal Congressman....that shows a general trend that Congress reflects the political hot divide in the USA.

Congress as an institution can not do much without consensus. And it does not help its leaders are very old and riddled with lobbyists & special interests.

Its why Congress increasingly does not even pass stand alone legislation even on minor issues like a reform to the electoral counting system. Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 (ECRA), which was passed to address ambiguities exposed during the January 6th events. Had to be passed in a Omnibus bill.

These Omnibus bills give them cover.

But it also shows even minor laws that tweak counting and procedure are hard for them to pass alone on a standard up or down floor vote. They have to be pulled into funding bills that must be passed.

My point was that given those facts on the ground the Congress has essentially given over power to the Presidency and the Supreme Court.

I can't say its a good idea...just a fact.

But they MUST find something to complain about Trump.

The idea that someone would actually try to do something about the long-term threat, that's just not done!

I'm so confused.
MACK is a Volvo subsidiary.
FL is a Daimler company.
Western Star is a Daimler company.
International/Navistar is a subsidiary of Traton which is VW.
Peterbilt is owned by PACCAR which is US but the MX9 they mostly use is a euro developed engine (and a giant POS).
KW is also owned by PACCAR

The engines are
Detroit Diesel - Daimler
PACCAR - technically U.S.
Volvo
Caterpillar - US

You could spec order a Pete or a KW with a CAT 3406 but it's still going to have Wabco (ZG Germany) or Bendix (KB Germany) brakes, it's still going to have a foreign made clutch and probably a foreign made transmission (Detroit, Volvo or PACCAR).

It would be near impossible to build a U.S. made truck.

Donald Trump is easily the most protectionist President in my lifetime. We no longer live in a global economy. Tariffs kill competition, stifle innovation and reinvestment and in general, make companies lazy. And most importantly, consumer prices are going higher.

Before you start barking back and being defensive, please know that Donald Trump wears "Protectionist President" as a badge of honor. He has no clue of the damage he is inflicting not only our economy, but the world economy.

I agree Trump is protectionist, and you should remember he has excellent reasons to move away from a globalism that not only plainly does not work as advertised, but has also plainly been used as a weapon against the United States.

I do not pretend for a moment that President Trump is perfect. I do expect everyone on the Republican side to support the duly-elected President, and to keep in mind that if you want to compare, Trump - warts and all - is far better than what we saw from not only the Democrats but also every Republican after Reagan.

Donald Trump is easily the most protectionist President in my lifetime. We no longer live in a global economy. Tariffs kill competition, stifle innovation and reinvestment and in general, make companies lazy.

Before you start barking back and being defensive, please know that Donald Trump wears "Protectionist President" as a badge of honor.

---

I agree Trump is protectionist, and you should remember he has excellent reasons to move away from a globalism that not only plainly does not work as advertised, but has also plainly been used as a weapon against the United States.

I do not pretend for a moment that President Trump is perfect. I do expect everyone on the Republican side to support the duly-elected President, and to keep in mind that if you want to compare, Trump - warts and all - is far better than what we saw from not only the Democrats but also every Republican after Reagan.

Reasonable post OldBear. We agree more than we disagree.

eYou want to see a great orator…show me a person who wrote part of their speech. When you went away from that to teams of interns writing speeches you got a lot less authenticity.

I bet if you got Trump talking about golf he would crush it. When people talk about their passions with conviction most people are good orators.

When they are reading a speech slapped together by 15 interns most people sound terrible.

I've seen Obama in non scripted speeches sound amazing.

---

Yeah, Obama's speech that inspired the murder of several Dallas police officers was ..........

---

I have no idea what that has to do with his ability to deliver a speech but ok.

---

The slob had used his speaking ability to get several Dallas policemen murdered.

But our media has selective memory so such inconveniences get forgotten.

---

It was absolutely horrible. The officers of both white and black races were working the protests inspired by BLM aka Obama's rhetoric;

---

Didn't at least one of the widows unsuccesfully sue Obama for his rhetoric ?

---

I dont remember that, but it is entirely possible. Barry was a real lowlife that specialized in race-baiting

---

Worst racist president since Woddrow Wilson.

Maybe worse

iMeathead, still alive, is worried about US democracy or something

Reiner: Trump Bringing U.S. to a Point Where We Might Lose Democracy

Reiner said..

"This moment that we're in right now, it goes way beyond Jimmy Kimmel. It goes way beyond knocking comedians off the air. This is directly out of the authoritarian playbook. Control the media, do whatever you can to control the media so that only your message is getting out. If you look at authoritarians across the globe that's exactly what they do..."

---

And that is exactly what his side has been trying to do for decades. (And often succeeding at)

Control the universities. Control the corporate media. Control Hollywood and peoples entertainment…always push a message. Control tax payer media (NPR). Control government institutions and museums. Try to get talk radio under their control or silenced with "fairness doctrine" stuff. And label any views they don't like "racist, sexiest, homophobic"

It's amazing that Reiner can not see the fascist fat man in the mirror is himself and the Western Left

---

Reiner is a putz. His dad was great and funny, but I think Reiner is mad that he has never really been funny. If you remember Meathead, he was always the butt of the jokes, not the one who could deliver them

---

I've never been a fan of Reiner but he was a decent director. He directed The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally.

275.

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump FBI, ICE, DEA, and U.S. Marshals have just conducted an operation to arrest 21 illegals in Wisconsin, 9 of which were complicit in sexuaIIy assauIting and/or trafflcking young girls

That's because Tylenol does NOT cause autism.

---

IMO it is too early to make any blanket conclusion either way.

However I have read previously that Tylenol is the most dangerous over the counter medication sold in the United States.

---

I've heard that. I moved over to Motrim earlier this year to help with the arthritis. Tylenol did nothing for me. Motrim helps a bit

---

Motrin is ibuprofen. It's the exact same product as Advil just by a different manufacturer. Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is naproxen.

None cause autism.

---

Ehhh about that

There needs to be criminal prosecutions. https://t.co/E3gx5gQ7y6

We all should have been taking NAC this whole time. Tylenol wrecks your glutathione levels.

🚨 BREAKING - BOMBSHELL: The pharma company behind Tylenol "PRIVATELY ACKNOWLEDGED" an association between the drug and autism in children many years ago, and received concerns dating back to 2008.

Pam Bondi had 10 months to indict Democrat criminals for targeting Trump.

Bondi's record: ZERO indictments and ZERO arrests.

Lindsey Halligan had THREE DAYS in the job and she's indicting disgraced FBI director James Comey.

Bondi is the problem.

— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) September 25, 2025

Tweets like this are the problem. Bondi doesn't want to simply pursue a political revenge vendetta, she has some sense of respect for her office, and the oath she took to serve the people.

Look at the facts. Nobody wanted to indict Comey. They had to get Trump's personal lawyer to do it.
