Sounds like a future congressman

[–] [email protected] 74 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 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.

[–] [email protected] 75 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.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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

The fire marshall or something was LGBTQ.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 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

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).

[–] [email protected] 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.)

[–] [email protected] 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?

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

"This is fine."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Odds are great that a person set the fire regardless of climate impact. Most sources I see say that climate change is the reason for the fire, and not necessarily pointing out that it's human influence that starts it. Climate change just helps spread the fire.

First we need to convince dumb motherfuckers to stop setting fires or shooting fireworks in dry seasons. Also (IMO) people who set fires that cause this much damage and loss of life should be executed by being burned at the stake

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago (7 children)

First, there are several fires, it's not one big one. A video cropped up showing a fire starting at the base of an Edison transmission line tower as the start of the Eaton fire. Whether that's the cause remains to be seen. The only almost confirmed arson was the Sunset fire (Hollywood Hills).

Even then, So Cal is on a record dry streak at the moment, with something like less than a quarter inch of rain since last May. Then the Santa Ana winds came, with a vengeance (75 mph sustained winds in some areas). When these winds come, humidity drops to near zero. All it takes is a tree knocking into a boulder, setting it loose down a hill, smacking a boulder and creating a spark that ignites already dry brush. We are already in the middle of a La Nina year (little to no precipitation), though the Santa Ana winds happen all the time, caused by high pressure in the Great Basin in northern Nevada with low pressure off the coast. Not staying climate change isn't a root cause of the intensity of these factors, but So Cal has a history of all these conditions.

The impact of fires started by human error is increased due to climate change. Drier vegetation (and being dry in general) making for faster burning and more violent fires.

Please show us these odds.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

I was curious too. The US National Parks Service states that 85% of wildfires are caused by humans.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Odds are great that a person set the fire regardless of climate impact.

I mean, that's kinda redundant...... That's unless you had previously thought it had been lightning on a clear day, or maybe Bambi with a Zippo.

Unless you are proposing that we have a zero open flame policy in one of the most populated states in America....... Then I really don't see the benefit of blaming any single individual.

People have been lighting fires in California for thousands of years, the reason they are no longer manageable is because of climate change, and because we refuse to spend the time and money on land management.

people who set fires that cause this much damage and loss of life should be executed by being burned at the stake

And then no one ever made a fire again and everyone clapped.....

This would do literally nothing to curtail wildfires in the future. I mean the last big one was started by an electric companies faulty equipment. Are we executing the power grid next?
