Great Depression
World War II



.... but not the American Publican being lied to every single day. About everything
Lies about climate change
Lies about protecting Medicare and Social Security
Lies about Russia attacking our elections
Lies about protecting people with pre-existing conditions

But one thing I cannot bear to see is America
destroyed by racism, fear-mongering, and lies.
....

----- let me just interject here: this is not just Trump. This is the Republican party he is calling out. -----

Leaves me a little more hopeful at the end of this one day, that when a celebrity of Reiner's respected status speaks out politically we are not being ignored, & our efforts are not in vain.
Its says we are correct in our fears, & more influential voices are saying it out loud, also.

Thank you,
Thank you Mr Reiner

I hope he lives to vote in 2020. I was watching old comedy sketches with him and Sid Caesar recently.

I can never get twitter videos for some reason, so I'm going to k&r this one based on (a) Carl Reiner's history, and (b) yours, here.

we've talked about this before.. but have you tried Google Chrome to get twitter vids?

I can't see them on my Go To, IE.. but thankfully I can on GC.

Carl Reiner talks about and images are shown of many of the tragedies he's seen in his 96 1/2 years on Earth.. but what he's never seen is a "president" who LIES to Americans every single day".

It's chilling the way it's done.. as you can expect from someone of Carl Reiner's calibre.

And, Thank You!!

I can download youtube stuff so it doesn't stutter and pause. Twitter videos simply don't do anything -- probably my browser + system as suggested by Cha.

I would have added one thing:

[link:|]

Private Carl Reiner, US Army (he was promoted to corporal, and served in the Pacific in 1944-45 - which is more time in service to the United States than four generations of the Trump family, going back to Grandpa Trump the pimp.)

Your generation knew how to deal with Nazis.


We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We've got a heck of a job to do
But you can bet that we'll see it through
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We're one for all and we're all for one
They'll get a lickin' before we're done
Millions of voices are ringing
Singing as we march along
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We'll knock them over and then we'll get
The guy in back of them
We did it before, we'll do it again

43. There is one key word in this brilliant 90 second commercial. "LIES"
Wed Oct 31, 2018, 04:21 PM
Oct 2018

This commercial uses that word 6 times....

Carl says, "American people being lied to every single day,"lies about climate change, "lies about protecting Medicare and Social Security,lies about Russia, lies about protecting people with pre-existing conditions, America being destroyed by racism, fear mongering and lies.....

What is most important is this, who is the greatest liar in America today?..Donald Trump

And everyone knows it. This commercial never mentions Trump by name, but describes him. He is the liar in chief. And everyone knows that Donald Trump always lies...... "...every single day"..

So, what this says, if you want to defeat the lies, (that is defeat Trump) ....Get out and vote.....

It doesn't say who to vote for, but if you want to defeat those lies, my guess is not to vote for the Republican Party.. Why? The Republican Party supports the liar in chief...
