The Bronze Tablet argued with so many that crime is down, just look at the stats!

Yet another reason he left the thread


To be accurate, our arguments were about the accuracy of criminal acts compiled by the FBI.

Drano just couldn't believe or understand that when over 40 % of Police Departments didn't report stats to the FBI that the stats couldn't be correct.

Wonderful post. James Woods understands that people can have different political views and not be enemies of the United States.
A concept lost on the 5 or 6 posters on this board who believe that Democrats want to destroy the world.
Just America, while enriching themselves and their family.

I still don’t think you dance to ding dong, the witch is dead the day Reiner died. Yes. I vote for policy. I don’t care about what Trump said, but he should have left it alone for a few days.

It goes beyond what’s not reported to the FBI. The data that gets sent to them is corrupted.

Trump’s post was pretty bad. That said, if Barron Trump slaughtered Trump, the media would certainly place some blame on DT. They have blamed Trump for things that he had nothing to do with.

Reiner profited off his son’s illness and made him go on a media tour like a show pony. He dragged him to a Hollywood party where he was ridiculed by Rob’s friends.

Is it sad that this happened? Obviously. But let’s not act like we don’t regularly blame parents for the actions of the kids they raised.

One side is always asked to be better.

I’m just acknowledging reality. If Barron slaughtered Trump, the media (and Democrats) would immediately blame his rhetoric and the way he raised him.
Republicans are always asked to play nice while Dems attack and do what they accuse/warn their opponents of. It’s sickening the number of Republicans who represent us in Congress that don’t get the Dems are gonna steamroll everything soon. Dementia Joe didn’t open the border. He was eating ice cream and napping.

I think he used up all of his discipline refraining from posting about Dick Cheney.

As for Reiner, it's been 3 days. The guys was a useful idiot for the CIA, constantly slandered Trump and his supporters for the past decade called Trump a Russia asset, etc. He pushed the hoaxes that has liberals killing or attempting to kill conservatives (and TRUMP!) around America. Reiner immediately went after Rush Limbaugh on the day of his death. Trump sad it was a sad and tragic happening and hoped Rob and wife R.I.P. The rest was just facts.

In the end, Reiner's mental illness, which was apparently passed on to his son, was his undoing. A very sad end that was completely undeserved. I will not mourn Rob Reiner, nor will I celebrate his death. There are a million more just like him in Hollywood.

Would the POTUS?

He probably would. You can see he’s very intentional with the way he has raised his kids. From what I know, none of them have committed violent crime.

This is a reminder that people should get their own house in order before casting stones at others. And probably a bad idea to make your kids confront their issues in front of millions of people. But hey, why would we talk about what could have led up to the murders? We never do that, right?

The left seems to care about trauma. They always talk about how microagressions can hurt trauma victims. Reiner made his son put his trauma on full display for millions of strangers, and profited off of it. I think some major mistakes were made that probably led to his death.

Talking about what led up to the murders and the POTUS sending out a pathetic “mean tweet” are two completely different things.

Sure. I've said it was a bad move on Trump's part. Just re-emphasizes that he is a narcissist and can't help but make everything about himself.

This whole thing does bother me though. It probably shouldn't. But we don't talk about things in a way that is meaningful. It's just all about going after the other team. I'm guilty of it too.

Rob Reiner used his addict son as a poster child for a movie, to show how his child had negatively impacted his life. Had made his life more difficult. That had to be the most humiliating, public shaming that you can do to your struggling kid. A kid that was still struggling. Imagine doing that to your own kid. And profiting off of it. And having the media and Hollywood call you a brave, brilliant man for it. Not one public persona/station has talked about that. They are talking about Bill Hader, but not talking about the way Rob treated his son the last several years.

I know there isn't a simple, easy way to work with an addict. I'm sure we all know friends and/or family members that have struggled with addiction. I also know that what he did should not be ignored, and it certainly shouldn't be celebrated. People are acting like what Trump did is horrible, not fit for society. Zero awareness that Reiner likely did far worse, on a regular basis.

OT-Movie Box Office for 2025. Here are the top 5 films that had the largest box office this year. Two points: 1) Ne Zha 2 is a CGI Animation from China that is mystical, supernatural, lots of fighting. It was a big hit in China and runs away with #1 worldwide. 2) Zootopia 2 and Lilo and Stitch are Disney and are sequels of popular movies. Both are children/family movies, probably with some messaging. but it shows Disney movies can make a lot of money if they control themselves.

1Ne Zha 2$1,902,323,300$23,308,1761.2%$1,879,015,12498.8%
2Zootopia 2$1,139,489,075$260,594,38022.9%$878,894,69577.1%
3Lilo & Stitch$1,038,027,526$423,778,85540.8%$614,248,67159.2%

G I G O is not just computer lingo.

The FBI has never been what they claim. "The elite law enforcement unit in America ".

Who put Al Capone away ? The IRS.

Now we see what the higher ups have established, distrust in the organization.
All to get Trump, and to enrich the Dems.

The no longer kid, (He's in his 30's now !) has been in numerous drug treatment centers since the age of 15 !
Homeless across the Lower 48 States.
Sometimes the adults need to take charge !

Read the last sentence of the Truth social statement.

How many more “Jurassic World’s” are going to be made? On a related note, my girls and I thoroughly enjoyed Tron: Ares. The soundtrack was done by NIN. It was excellent. My only complaint would be that the music was non-stop in the movie. Scenes need to breath. That isn’t a NIN issue. That was the only complaint we had about that movie.
