Rob Reiner: ‘Democracy’ Can Only Survive if Trump Is Convicted and No Third-Party Candidates Allowed
Breitbart ^ | 10 Sep 2023 | David Ng

Posted on 09/10/2023 9:37:13 PM PDT by Olog-hai

In one of his most ironic proclamations to date, Rob Reiner declared that “democracy” can only survive if former President Donald Trump is imprisoned and all third-party candidates are prohibited from running.

Rob Reiner — who is one of Hollywood’s biggest cheerleaders for Joe Biden — made his absurd statement in a recent post to X, formerly known as Twitter.

Hard Reality: For our Democracy to survive, two things have to happen. Donald Trump needs to be Convicted for Jan. 6th and there can be no Third Party Candidate.

— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) September 8, 2023

Some prominent commentators have noted that Reiner’s call to prohibit all opposition candidates is fundamentally anti-democratic and would only serve to benefit Biden. […]

Reiner continues to serve as one of Hollywood’s biggest Biden boosters, from fundraising during the 2020 election to his more recent and dubious proclamation that Biden is the best president since Lyndon B. Johnson.

But as Biden’s poll numbers continue to sink and his own party appears to be turning on him, Reiner has become more aggressive and factually-challenged in his social media cheerleading.

As Breitbart News noted, Reiner was fact checked by “Community Notes” on X, after spreading a lie about January 6 prisoner and Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Tuesday. …

Irrelevant.

The national socialists like to say that Marx was Jewish, but he was not; only in terms of ethnicity. His father had converted to Lutheranism; he himself was an atheist. Any ethnic Jew who embraces leftism is a heretic and a gentile.

“The Commission’s Collection of State Voter Data
The Commmission’s June 28, 2017 letter to state election officials was unprecedented. Such a request for sensitive voter data had never been made by a federal official in the history of the country. The Commission sought ‘voter roll data’ including:
the full first and last names of all registrants, middle names or initials if available
addresses
dates of birth
political party (if recorded in your state)
last four digits of social security number if available
voter history (elections voted in) from 2006 onward
active/inactive status, cancelled status
information regarding any felony convictions
information regarding voter registration in another state
information regarding military status, and
overseas citizen information.”

https://epic.org/documents/epic-v-presidential-election-commission/

States have such information for each of their residents.

Why should the United States collectively have been denied such information useful for cleaning up voting rolls?

The IRS mutually shares with the states far more detailed information.

joshua c: "democracy = democrat rule"

They mean it in the same sense as a "People's Democratic Republic of... you name it.
Single party, top down rule and "dear leader" gets 95% of the votes on election day.

That's what they mean by "preserving our democracy".

Reiner is a Golden Calf worshiper. Every problem in the world, throughout history, has been caused by these evil bastards. Even Moses kicked them out with help from the tribe of Levi, but many of them escaped punishment to continue their evil deeds into present times. They have taken many forms, sometimes called Bolsheviks, Mensheviks and Communist. Now they are called Democrats and RINO’s. /spit

If Reiner feels free to say this in public, imagine what he and his coconspirators (and some of them very powerful) are saying in private.

{Sadly, Rob Reiner directed this movie.]

Perhaps the one good thing he did in his entire life.

This is yet another reason why wealth sovereigns should be prohibited from government and politics.

What is a "wealth sovereign"?

So Meathead chimes in, presuming that any of us GAS what he thinks. Maybe Meathead prefers Meatball.

“Isn’t the essence of free and fair elections that we have choices in elections?”

It used to be. Then came 2020.

Well, we’ve always known this is how they felt...

Now they are saying the quiet part outload.

This informs me, they are ready to actually act it out, by any means possible.

I have often wondered about the Germans, Russians, the Chinese etc. how they just followed along with the regimes of communist, nazi, Mao and Stalin...the public humiliations, education camps, death camps, starvation....a political ideology so wrong, so obviously deadly.

Now it is happening here in the United States and it seems unstoppable. All the voices from Limbaugh to Trump spoke about ‘slowing’ it down.

Why do we, why have we never talked about stopping it?

Ah yes, democracy, rule of the majority. We're all equal here and every vote counts.. So, Let's take everything Obama and the DC lawyers have and split it among us. What do you say.?? :)

Oh, I forgot, some are more equal then others.. :(
