    I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was. Today, De Niro, who suffers from an incurable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, commonly known in the medical community as TDS, was met, outside the Courthouse, with a force far greater than the Radical Left – MAGA. Robert, whose movies, artistry, and brand have gone WAY DOWN IN VALUE since he entered the political arena at the request of Crooked Joe Biden, looked so pathetic and sad out there. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio!!!

        And he should’ve finished it:

        A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

        And here’s an explanation of the meaning of this part of the song:

        He said, “In these days of Presidential transgressions and apologies and prime-time interviews about private sexual matters, we grieve for Joe DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of privacy, his fidelity to the memory of his wife and the power of his silence.”

        So Trump, learn something from Simon and Garfunkel and stop being such an insufferable attention whore. We need quiet heroes like Joe DiMaggio, not whatever Trump is.

      It’s telling that in his mind, the worst offense he can lob at someone is “your brand has gone way down in value”. Truly one of the businessman of all time.

        The article and a picture of the actual words aren’t good enough for you? Are you confused about who and where the quote is from?

              There’s no link to the source of the quote in that article. Did you even check??

              Its mind blowing that I’m being down voted by folks who tell me to read the article who they themselves have only skimmed the article.

              A screenshot is not a source. Learn some information literacy, please.

                You’re being downvoted for making a stupid demand, and then downvoted even more for dying on it’s hill.

                You know where the quote came from. You know it’s source. You go there and verify it.

                I know you won’t though. Then there wouldn’t be anything for you to bitch about.

            The article states:

            …he posted on his social media.

            It takes a little bit of critical thinking if there isn’t a hyperlink to click on. His social media refers to Truth Social.

                You’re not that good at the whole critical thinking part of things, are ya?

                  What? That’s exactly my criticism of others. Everyone upvoting this trash content is apparently OK with unverifiable claims from incredible sources who don’t cite their sources for quotes.

                  Critical thinking is literally what I’m trying to teach and increase in our communities.

                    The quote is entirely verifiable. You know how, so does everyone. Whining because people won’t spoonfeed you a link is pathetic.
