"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 74 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 32 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months 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 17 points 2 months ago

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

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.

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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Or any of the leftist ideas their savior was putting forward.

Roughly 2000 years after someone was nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if we were nice to each other for a change.

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 74 points 2 months 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 58 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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

The fire marshall or something was LGBTQ.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (2 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 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (4 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 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months 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.

Woman = DEI
Black = DEI
Queer = DEI
Piercings = DEI
Catholic = believe it or not, also DEI

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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Maybe those super secret space laser are real after all.

As a Jewish person I find that absolutely hilarious. For over two thousand years the foundation of Judaism has been the exact opposite. Nearly everything in the torah has been interpreted, reinterpreted, and then we fight over who has the best interpretations (of course some things can be viewed on a literal level but those are interpreted on multiple other levels as well). Also despite Christians stealing nearly everything from us Hell isn't one of them, I have no idea where they got that (probrally the pagans).

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Did you know as a Jewish person, you are responsible for all the wars in the world? Because Mel seems to think so.

(I'm also Jewish, so I guess I'm also responsible. Must be our space lasers.)

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (13 children)

Maybe your weather control devices?

Ok, but if you control space lasers, can you please use them on a property in Florida? Asking for a friend. Like why not use these spaces lazorz to fry your enemies?

While my wife and I were evangelical Christians in college we attended a few Jewish events for part of a religious study class she was taking. That is definitely what stood out to me, too. While it's difficult to really make definitive statements about Christianity as a whole because it's so varied, the type we were familiar with from our Bible belt upbringing was definitely more about a pretty literal interpretation about everything. It was very fascinating to learn that Jewish people are much more practical about their interpretation. For context, growing up I'd say a good bit of the people in my church viewed remarrying after divorce as adultery because marriage is meant to be forever.

One thing I remember finding fascinating was like the layers of annotations on scripture. Like people would annotate annotations with their responses and stuff.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The Talmud, which is basically a bunch of Rabbis arguing about what the Torah means, is almost as important as the Torah itself.

There's a famous phrase in Jewish culture: two Jews, three opinions.

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

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months 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.

Poor, poor Mel boy. He is in dire need of mental help and adult supervision.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

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

Aw it was sad that all of Mel's Nazi memorabilia burned to a crisp.
