it really is that simple

“I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is,” Robert De Niro told CNN in a statement. “I love all my children.”

No big deal

It's a shame that "centrists" have been twisting themselves into knots over this issue when the choice is between parents who love their children and estranged, 0% custody weirdos who run to the internet to shit talk their own kids.

"Tonight on NewsMaxx, a father who is coming off 56 straight losses in family court to explain how his own nearly adult child is too mentally ill to make decisions and how his ex-wife is a raging bitch". Very sympathetic cause for sure.

I'm fortunate to have a father who says basically the same thing to people. He's about Robert De Niro's age, too. If men in their 80s get it, what's wrong with everyone else?

*everyone else who doesn't get it, I meant.

Yeah, anyone who says otherwise is just hateful.

That's great.

But with RFK Jr.'s ongoing dehumanisation of autistic people, I still haven't forgiven De Niro's part in legitimising his nonsense.
(This was in 2017, I can't find anything from De Niro on vaccines since covid, hopefully he's changed his views)

Late career sweet grandpa De Niro is the best. I've watched The Intern at least five times, no joke. It's incredibly contrived, syrupy capitalist propaganda but he's just so damned good in it.
