"People said that Mel Gibson couldn't play a Scotsman in Braveheart. But look at him now! An alcoholic racist."

Sounds like a future congressman

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 62 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't run for office now that you mention it.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 26 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

He was born in Peekskill, New York. He could technically be president. Not to give him any ideas...

[–] peto@lemm.ee 39 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What, at the youthful age of 69? Kid needs more experience.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Kid needs more experience.

He's a wife beater but not a proven rapist (yet)... so ole' Mel is still a tadpole by US politician standards.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Once upon a time, I would have told you that would be a pipe dream of his. These days?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

The USA never had nor caused any problems under the presidency of a former actor, after all.

Gibson
Rogan
2028

We need a ROAD WARRIOR to survive this American wasteland.

Joe Rogan would be like the Coma-Doof Warrior. But instead of a guitar shooting flames, he'd have a podcast mic shooting fart gas that he would just yell nonsensical phrases into just to make noise. Well Mel Gibson is driving him around town with a literal horse strapped to the front injected with ivermectin and main lined into Mel's veins as a blood bag. The horse would have lines from the Book of Revelation tattooed all over it.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 65 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Mel Gibson is the kind of "Christian" that has a meltdown if anybody dares to point out that Jesus most likely didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Dude goes to a 'catholic' church that he fully funds himself as he's deeply against Vatican II, and the pope.

[–] badelf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 62 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson believe that those massive fires are caused by liberal CA government.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Actually the line is DEI is what caused the massive fires.

The fire marshall or something was LGBTQ.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

DEI PURPLE HAIRED LESBIAN FIRE MARSHALL!!!

That's what my dad told me.

She does not have purple hair and she's been there for 20+ years, previously holding the position of fire chief. She is well-respected by her peers.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Given the latest episodes of Knowledge Fight, sounds like your dad listens to Alex Jones.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Nope, but close. He's a Drudge Report reader and a secret Fox watcher (he'll never admit it but it's always the last channel on their TV)

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Why keep it a secret? Most conservatives are proud to be fucking sheep of Fox.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

[edit] sorry if you got multiple notifications. My app was being weird and replying to the wrong comments

Because my mom has a brain and hated Trump before he ran for office. She wasn't quiet about her opinion and she'd tell at him for watching it.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If he won't admit to Fox viewing, why would he admit to AJ listening?

A lack of tech literacy. It's not bookmarked (therefore it doesn't exist to him) and he stopped listening to the radio after Rush Limbaugh went off the air.

If it was obvious he watched Fox even though he "tried" to hide it, why do you think he could keep it secret?

He will defend anyone he likes if I say something shitty about them but he's never once defended Alex Jones. He never really bought into the extreme conspiracies like false flags or pizza gate, either.

He's a conflicted man.

[–] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah their strategy seems to be sniping out folks at the top (politically speaking) by singling them out & turning the State propaganda machine on full blast, alienating them & forcing them to defend themselves when no one else has the time or energy because, you know, everything is literally on fire.

Pretty gross & probably a preview of the next (at least) 4 years. I hope it fails.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

"DEI MADE THE WATER SYSTEM UNABLE KEEP UP" is such an obviously stupid take. There's not enough water to put the fires out

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago

Right, so the liberal government...

[–] Favoring9181@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe those super secret space laser are real after all.

Hail old friend!

Liar liar house on fire

In case nobody's said it yet.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 13 points 3 weeks ago

"This is fine."

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

i guess you could say his house’s climate changed that day

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well I certainly hope Mel gets to put his medical advice to the test on himself.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just like Joe he'll admit he's getting the same treatment any doctor would recommend, and he'll take Ivermectin on top and when he's better, he'll claim it was the horse dewormer that fought the cancer.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're probably right. But if there's a slim chance the man "Jobs" himself...

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago

The house was a non-issue since he was probably being paid enough from the performance to buy a bigger one.
