Television legend Carl Reiner, 96, said he wants to live to 2020 so he can vote President Trump out of office.

The creator of “The Dick Van Dyke Show” said in a Twitter video that he served in World War II to “defeat fascism.”

“I’ve lived through the Great Depression. I served in World War II in our fight to defeat fascism. I’ve seen the invention of television and performed on television even before my family owned one,” he said.

At 96, it’s not good to live only for hate. I’ll bet he doesn’t make it.

I dunno... Look at Soros. Hate has done wonders for his ass.

He was an Army Special Services douchebag, not a frontline combat soldier

I re-read the article after your post. He sure would like you to think he was frontline.

Thing is, I'd be just as impressed if he said, "Hey, I went to every ****hole in the Pacific that there was to keep the troops from going out of their mind with boredom. It's what I was good at!" Everyone has a part to play, and that was his.

But for him to imply differently, just cheapens my opinion of him.

You Betcha !!!

Between them they don’t have the combined IQ of one of my horses.....He is very smart.

He has let himself out of his enclosure by opening a double-ended snap, and then opening another double-ended snap on another pen & let out a mother-daughter duo. They ran hot laps round my house until I heard them & rounded them up & re-penned them. But they sure had fun until I heard them. Lived in a log house with 8” logs, didn’t hear them right away.

"...Wonder what he is willing to die for?..."


I similarly wonder for what it is he is willing to die? ;-)

I usually ignore self-righteous celebrities making their policies known like spewing vomit on all of us. I have liked this guy since 1954. I don’t recall him making apolitical stamens. Terribly disappointed.

I see where Meathead got his socialist notions. The acorn didn't fall far from the tree.

I hope he lives long enough to see the merit of President Trump but that would require an open mind, not an empty mind.

Ask him how many purple hearts or bronze stars he has.

Zero.. He was drafted, he was essentially a PR guy and french interpreter. Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable flew bombers, he performed in them.

Fought fascism? He has coddled it here ever since the war, imho.

Wiki says ..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Reiner

Military service (EXCERPTED)

In 1943, Reiner was drafted into the Army Air Forces and served during World War II, eventually achieving the rank of corporal. He initially trained to be a radio operator, but after spending three months in the hospital recovering from pneumonia, he was sent to Georgetown University for ten months to train as a French interpreter. During language training, he had his first experience as a director, putting on a Molière play entirely in French. In 1944, after completing language training, he was sent to Hawaii to work as a teleprinter operator. The night before he was to ship out for an unknown assignment, he attended a production of Hamlet by the Special Services entertainment unit. Following an audition for actor and Major Maurice Evans, he was transferred to the Special Services. Reiner performed around the Pacific theater, entertaining troops in Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima for the next two years. In 1946, he was discharged.[12]

so elements of the Army were practicing “don’t ask, don’t tell” long before Bill Clinton arrived on the scene.

They probably didn't want to share a foxhole with them?

Too early to say this?

Morris also played "Hutch", in Rosemary's Baby.

It’s not good at any age.

I want to live at least long enough to see my kids marry and reproduce or at least launch successfully.

The thing about Carl Reiner that always struck me is that he behaves as if everyone absolutely loves him and considers him a national treasure, while in fact he’s just warmly regarded and there isn’t a big national emotional investment in him at all.

These Hollywood schmucks never had a single issue with Trump until he decided to run for President. They used to pal around and pose for pictures with him. What a bunch of phonies.
