Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Deranged

Nobody celebrates the murder of perceived enemies quite like Trump — whose celebration of the murder of Rob Reiner is the most disturbing, deranged, and demented post you’ll ever see from a U.S. president.

It’s OK now?

The Trump administration spent the last few months punishing anyone who made comments they didn’t like about Charlie Kirk, and then President Trump tweets this disgusting, narcissistic garbage about Rob Reiner.

No decency

Just when you think President Trump can’t sink any lower, he sends this disgusting, depraved post about Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. He couldn’t muster even a moment of decency.

I’m old enough

I don’t know about you, but I’m old enough to remember when the right was big mad about what the left was saying about Charlie Kirk’s killing. Doxxing people and demanding they be fired. I’m sure, though, they see nothing wrong with the president’s post about Rob Reiner and his wife.

Bad taste

It’s sad Rob Reiner was murdered, but his attacks on President Trump over the past decade were unwarranted. The Hitler comparisons and Russia hoax fueled his hate. I can’t blame Trump for defending himself.

So sorry

Oh, look. All the Democrats are mad because the president said something they didn’t like on social media. Just another day.

Common denominator

The killings in Sydney, Syria and Washington D.C. all have one thing in common: All were antisemitic and affiliated with ISIS. Yet, some call it racist to point out the obvious.

Still waiting

My street in Biloxi hasn’t been paved in the Belvedere subdivision since the early 1970s. Just a little tar packed with a shovel. Shame on you, Biloxi.

Sanctuary

I want to say the recent TV news broadcast about the Sanctuary business in Biloxi is just another failure with the city not able to meet its obligations. I have seen this business continually work to transform this old church into a really fine venue. Are you broke, Biloxi? Maybe this city needs a full audit from the outside.

Venezuela

The “war” on Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs. It’s about oil, minerals, money and our King’s need to show his global dominance and an attempt to take down a fellow dictator. Vladimir Putin must be so proud.

Temu Peace Prize

Will Sleepy Don have to give back his Temu Peace Prize over restarting the War on Drugs? But full marks to him for attacking the scourge that is fentanyl by going after a country that has nothing to do with it.

Can’t win

If President Trump allowed a dictator to remain in Venezuela, he would be criticized. If President Trump worked to remove a dictator in Venezuela, he would be criticized.
