It’s nuts to waste a pardon on restoring the right to have a gun to someone who battered his girlfriend, just because he’s a Hollywood name. It’s government by grift. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/u...

Trump has done so much damage that it's difficult to even remember something as significant as this. #TrumpUnfit #TrumpRapist
Yes. But it is also a flex of their regressive values - domestic violence is acceptable.
Fuck Mel Gibson. He’s a fucking freak on a good day. And he doesn’t have good days.
😡
Especially that specific asshole 👆
My abuser discharged a firearm with the intent to kill me 39 days after he received his guns back after non-fatal strangulation and TRO.
Long live Ukraine 🇺🇦
Give the keys to the government to a desperate craven grapist/felon submissive to Putin and who wears too much makeup you get crazy shit happening nonstop.
Okay….Mel has shown his crazy more than once in the past 10 years. Is he even a citizen?
Dual citizen. Born in NY state. 😮💨
Thanks. And UGH! He has tainted my state! 😕
I hate him. He has the face he deserves.
I liked him until his rant, maybe 15 years ago about how his wife is going to hell because she wasn’t a Catholic. Well then why did you marry her dude?
This is sooooo corrupt . Drain the swamp ! Stephen Smith for president !
Hard agree.
The attack on law firms, that Trump considers an enemy because of their clients, requires an “I am Spartacus” moment. Stand up law firms. Why did you become defense attorneys?
mel gibson shouldn't be allow in public, he's a predator p.o.s. go ask his daughters where their underwear kept going as kids. He is a sick man
Aw yes, one of the men made ambassador to Hollywood to see that entertainment is in line with Trump’s vision.
It's nuts to fire a person who thinks it's nuts to use a pardon to give a famous abuser back his gun rights.
he's as awful as we all thought and THEY are as awful as we all think.
He has been a scourge since he traveled outta Australia. He probably was that, too, in Australia. What a waste of skin.
Rule by the billionaires. Billionaires are the problem.
He, Bruce Willis, and all the other celebrities who support Trumusk and the oligarchs should be boycotted every chance we get!
THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF AN INJUSTICE AND MEL GIBSON SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OUT OF THE COUNTRY
Hats off to the few in this administration who stand up for what is right, even at risk of their job. Integrity!🙌
How does he have fans now? Total misogynistic racist! 🤮
I’ve noticed trump loves giving guns to DV guys.
Yes he does. I guess the Christians are real proud of their selection for president.
They hate women, too.🤷♀️
Women don’t count
His own little predator militia
Pretty sure Ivana was pushed.
I hope his need to put guns in the hands of crazy people inspires the Gods of Irony.
He hates women.
And the men that praise him
Personal army
Donald is on record as a perpetrator of domestic violence. His first wife, Ivana, testified under oath that, in a rage over a scalp reduction surgery that hurt, he pulled out tufts of her hair and violently raped her. But guns are like cars, Donald is too incompetent to know how to operate them.
Then buried her in the rough on a corner of his golf course, with a marker the size of a laptop.
Yes even in her mitigated statement she did not take back her claims and he got his ultimate revenge by burying her on his golf course and then letting the weeds grow on her grave. His children, totally cool with that.
It's a shame she died from an "accidental fall" in 2022. Nothing suspicious at all @datelinenbc.bsky.social
And then buried in a golf course.
Michael Kennedy !
Where she has been laid to rest is testament in itself! Ivana was also better and more savvy at running a business when the AC casinos opened. She was smarter than him. Trump cannot stand women smarter than him… which is so many of us worldwide. ✊ Only a weak man bullies women. Trump. Is. Weak! 👎
How can rednecks support a man in his late 70's that CAN'T DRIVE A STICK!?
Are you serious?!? 😳 Granted, I worked in the motor trade for many years but driving a manual ( stick shift ) car is something I learned straight away. From muscle cars to work utes ( pickup trucks ), it’s always handy to be able to drive anything. Now I wanna know if Biden’s Vette is stick! ✌️🤝🇦🇺.
I knew an Australian couple when I was real young, they called them utes and I always loved that term. Utility, as in Australia calling a "pick-up" was something much larger there if I remember right. That'd be interesting to learn, trump doesn't drive he has a chauffeur.
Driven around all his life, that tracks 🙄. Well…, sucks for him! Driving is awesome! We lost traditional utes when Ford and GMH manufacturing closed down here. Shame too. My first Holden Ute was a 1975 flat wood tray one tonner. Now I’ve got GMH Calais sports wagons from 2016. 1 V6, 1 W457 ✌️🇦🇺😁🤝.
I too am a redneck btw. Just not the red cap wearing traitor type. heh.
She was so scared of him she publicly retracted that story so she wouldn't lose her money from it. I still believe she was telling the truth. Trump is a batterer.
If we got lucky, he'd probably shoot himself.
Yes he likes giving guns but he also likes giving Cabinet level JOBS to DV guys.
He sure does! Rapists and human traffickers too.
He loves sending the message that people aren’t safe. His J6 pardon was all about that
How has Kyle not been given a job yet?
Just like his BFF Putin. bsky.app/profile/resi...
He is the "Hollywood Ambassador" surely a job requiring massive firepower if there ever was one! He has religious freedoms to defend.
Gibson is a cabinet member in waiting.
I have thought about Mel Gibson a few times lately because of the men elevated by Trump who are also of the “who hasn’t gone a little _________ [racist, violent, antisemitic, sexual assaulting, harrassing] when __________ [drunk, on ambien, younger]?” ilk. And, here we are.
DV guys are like half his base
He's an adjudicated rapist, which is violent power over someone. DV is just a different manifestation of that same violent power. It's all cool to him. Just boys being boys.
How much you wanna bet that as soon as one of these schmucks kills his wife/girlfriend/family, Donny Two-Scoops will say it isn't his fault?
How can he even touch a gun since he's a convicted felon?
How very macho.
🍊💩 raped his 1st wife!! Duh!
Trump loves DV, period
Hes been sticking up for rapist white men since the 80s. Probably because he is one.
Agreed
He just loves DV guys, period. If somebody suggested he order the US Mint to strike a medal for men who do DV, he'd totally do it.
...and to rapists and child-traffickers.
And inviting sex traffickers into the US.
From his standpoint: he gets two votes for the price of one. Cynical, but we are dealing with mentally diseased people.
Or just guys period.
Southern Hemisphere White Privilege - Rupert Murdoch - Elon Musk - Mel Gibson
Nuts to waste? More like nuts to use. There’s no cap on how many (asinine) pardons he can issue.
He was with $ash Patel at the game this past weekend, thick as thieves ! It pays as us to have connections !
😡😡😡😡😡😡
Crazy racist drunk with a gun... What could happen?
When you have a bottomless barrel of pardons you can afford to pardon the bottom of the barrel.
Absolutely correct about this. Felon 47, however, craves Hollywood support. He seem not to know Gibson is not on the "A-list" (or B-List for that matter)!
Silly @joycewhitevance.bsky.social it isn't because he's a celebrity, it's because he's a Friend of Don.
What a disgusting turn of events!
Major 3-day protests planned THIS week in DC. Can you help get the word out, pls? Friday March 14th National Mall #VeteransAgainstFascism (between 4th & 6th); March 15th outside #FOXNews studio in DC; March 16th @ The Heritage Foundation DC office. #DescendonDC All info: www.donaldlovesvladimir.com
This is what Trump meant when he threatened (yeah, threatened) to "protect women"
Mel’s Trump chose him to bring back golden yrs of Hollywood , along side with Angie’s father and Sylvester .(no not the cat)
Has-been drunk and anti-Semite. Yes that tracks.
Mel suffers from Bipolar and should be the last person to own, carry or use a gun.
Fuck NYT and their pay wall.. Cannot read this. But Mel is a POS, used to live not far from me in Mt
I miss the days when we wanted to bang Mel Gibson, back before we knew he was a disgusting asshole. You know, the Mad Max/ Braveheart days.
Mel Gibson, opus dei in Hollywood garb.
Another traitor.
His whole cabinet is full of men that have assaulted women himself included. Why stop now🤷♀️
Yes, restore the right to own guns to an alcoholic with recorded rage issues, who told his girlfriend he hoped she would be gang raped by [n-word]s. What could possibly go wrong? Mel being so diplomatic, I'm just surprised Trump hasn't made him an ambassador yet.
How about am to Australia!
Hollywood liaison 😝
Jesus is my Wing Man.
That’s why he’s claiming this. Some of us remember what happened next.
So repulsive so vile. I just can’t fucking take it and breathe.
The fact that he really hates the Jews was the selling point
He did!! variety.com/2025/film/ne...
📌
Came down here to say this and you beat me to it, Amy.
Give Drumpfy time...he's busy crashing the stick markets via specious tariff threats. A puling baby-geezer can only focus on one scam at a time.
Whoa!
Woe.
I really meant Whoa! because I didn't know about this part of his life. I knew about his rancid anti-semitism, though.
He's a shattered glass of many shards
Mel Gibson, known for violent, racist rants, gets gun rights restored? Rewarding such behavior undermines accountability and public safety. This decision sends a dangerous message.
And Mel’s “fans” are now encouraging him to run for governor in California in 2026.
Tates and guns. That’s trump.
But if they are a star, he lets them do it.
Yet...
He’s so CXLD.
Should be a multi-day media meltdown, and would be for anyone but these mafiosi. Because corruption like this happens EVERY DAY!
The corruption is crazy and being accepted by A LOT of Americans.
Pam Bondi is Tin Pot Donny's Hans Frank.
💯
Mel who?
Yes but mel Gibson is the perfect example of a trump maga; racist, misogynistic, feeling of entitlement and a real @$$!
I can not stand Mel Gibson. F’ing freak
Joyce, Joyce, Joyce, this is not news. And how is it a wasted pardon? T won’t put a limit on his grifting pardon. It’s all corrupt pardons all the time.
Can we the people sign a petition to remove President stupid out of office?
All shitbag perverts and cowardly cunts.
Almost perfect. They missed James Woods though ...
He might be up Seagal's ass. It's big enough.
This will not end well.
He’s not wasting it - they are unlimited. He’s a king in his own mind. He’s just corrupt and transactional.
Mel Gibson is a dangerous domestic abuser!
Anything he has ever acted in, directed, produced, or even thought about making from the beginning of time until the Rapture should be boycotted relentlessly and with extreme prejudice. Do not give any attention or money to this fuck. Ever. None.
Been there for a long time. I like turning his face off.
Not just because Mel Gibson is a Hollywood name - it’s because he’s an avowed Trump fanboy!
No one person, be it the president or your next door neighbor, should have the power to pardon or commute a sentence. Only our courts should be able to overturn any verdict. Let the POTUS only bring attention to cases for another look and remove the pardon power.
Can’t we send Mel back to Australia?
Noooooo. Born in Peekskill NY. Keep him!
we dont want him back!
lol, but he’s yours. You can’t foist him off on us forever. Unless you will take trump. If you take trump, we will keep Mel.
Another chalk mark for the Republican Supreme Court.
The Hollywood ambassador though Joyce
"Daddy's home and he's taking off his belt." One of the creepiest things Mel has ever said.
Mel … great filmmaker… fucking awful human being. watching the joe rogan interview (what was mel high on?) felt like some kind of twilight zone episode… and the man in the glass booth He’s dead to me now
Even Hollywood hates Mel Gibson!
But misogyny is on brand for republicans.
Liz Oyer is a brave heart.
Mel Gibson is an immigrant that should be deported.
It's a Bu** Sh** move!!
Yeah give an abuser back his rights to a weapon. That seems like a solid idea. 😒 The idea of my ex, who served for DV with significant bodily harm (not me, a later wife), is absolutely terrifying. Some people have zero business owning weapons for the safety of others. Abusers are at the top of it.
They’re sending us a message: If you’re wealthy, famous and privileged they got you. Don’t worry about those pesky criminal charges. Everyone else, never mind. Salute the Oligarchy, thanks to Trump’s DOJ.
We Hollywood people do not claim him anymore…you know that….right?
2025, the year EVIL entered the White House.😡
Well, a woman abuser just like Krasnov.
“Mistake” more than”waste” since he can dole out an infinite number of these if he benefits.
He's beloved by a big chunk of Trump's coalition, because he's more right-wing than average, he bitched about powerful Jewish people on a hot mic once, & he's willing to associate with some kinds of fringe people. 🙄
Let's be real for half a minute, does anybody really think Mel Gibson does not currently have a firearm.
More compromising our RULE OF LAW
A good time to mention domestic violence and mass shootings are linked? www.cbsnews.com/news/mass-sh...
Further in this vein, there is a link between family court proceedings and the adverse affects it has on the children. At one point, somewhere around 3/4 of mass shooters had been in family court proceedings in the previous 36 months, that has likely changed. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Creeps like doing favors for other creeps
Outrageous! The deal-breaker is violence. It should not be a disputable point. Using pardons to facilitate one's own agenda and recruit potential donors to yourself is below disgusting. Why the hell is Gibson even in the US? Send him back to Australia and send Musk back to South Africa.
How about we deport him? He should go live in Florida.
And getting fired for doing the correct thing!
FWIW, Mel isn't just a Hollywood name. His dad was (maybe still is) tight w/ Alex Jones. Mel was recently at the Winter White House for a gala for Gen. Flynn's charity. The guest list is *wild*. He's in the high echelons. Making a concerted comeback bwo Rogan. www.knowrogan.com/mel-gibson-5/
Majority of white women voted for this.
he is one of my favorite actors, but since hw went full MAGA, I don't watch his movies anymore.
It's the first step in restoring gun rights to the 1600 Jan 6 MAGA felons.
He's so nuts he's going to Phil Spector some poor girl. They don't care. What's one more gun death, especially if it's just a female?
The Republicans are taking joy in being repugnant and in being the shittiest of shit excuses for human beings. Vile swamp slime.
I’m sure that Marky Mark Wahlberg will get his gun rights back before the Vietnamese man he assaulted gets his eyesight back.
Repulsive. I need a pause here with this Mel Gibson shit.
Privileged white men….
It’s the Republican way now.
TRUMP DID THIS! >ENDLESS lies & grift >Prices UP >Stock market DOWN >Mindless FIRINGS >Stupid TARIFFS & trade wars >GOONS in gov't; guardrails GONE >BETRAY Ukraine; EMBRACE Russia >Alienate allies >Planes CRASHING >Diseases SPREADING Putin's happy tho. RESIST!! 5calls.org indivisible.org aclu.org
What a joke
But according to these same ghouls, Hunter Biden was the devil. Because of a gun permit.
We are an official Mafioso government! And the grift goes on...
Tis the season I guess. These people have no standards.
Trump will stop at nothing to fortify his base. Yet another dog whistle showing that he has the backs of his private militia
Maybe he should go back to Australia
White male abusers are the essence of MAGA
Mel’s just a regular guy to them
Do you mean “one of them”? Yeah.
Truth here.
💯
When he shoots and kills someone, who gets the blame? We do.
No, “we” won’t get the blame. Trump will.
Paywall
I thought Trump hated Hollywood types?
Its also not giving a damn about women or justice.
All I asked - Don’t send the bigoted old Sot back to Australia 🙏🙏🙏
Just what we need. Another crazed blue-painted Beyond ThunderDome boomer with a gun.
This is a criminal Presidential Administration, run by criminals, supported by criminals, and pardoning criminals.
Gibson is rewarded for beingba rabid trumper.
How much is Trump selling pardons for this term? Didn’t Rudy say they were going for $1 million a pop last time?
So can the NYT please show us pictures of the embattled / harassed / illegally-fired people who stood their ground, upheld the Constitution, didn’t give Mel Gibson jack shit INSTEAD OF MEL GIBSON?! I don’t want to see that old bag of antisemitic bones ever again.
What's in it for Trump?
always ignoring the law for MAGA
He was such a disappointment 😞
It’s nuts any of this shit is happening.
He’s mentally challenged wanker
Which? Oh...both Drumpf and MelG.
Both
Because…MAGA. Ridiculous!
This is ridiculous 🤬
That’s where we are
"You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. You didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say 'Don Trump, give me back my guns.' But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me 'Godfather.'"
Don, to his consigliere, after Gibson leaves: "Give this job to Marco. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. I mean, we're not DOGE employees, in spite of what this racist, antisemitic, drunk asshole thinks."
MG: How much shall I pay you? Don: What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, this scum who took your guns would be suffering this very day. And if by some chance you made enemies they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you.
Fuck that nob!
Agreed.
Mel Gibson is a pig. I'm glad his pathetic career careened off a cliff. Worhtless. Terrible actor. Religious zealot. Bigot. and a beater.
An anti-semetic, racist pos. You know, a republican.
Sickening
The anti justice depth. No rule of law.
Political favors to abusers. Well after all the White House and Cabinet is full of them.
Nothing like making sure a known drunk woman abuser has a gun in his possession.
Despicable!
It’s very Russian. www.theguardian.com/world/2017/f...
It’s not a waste if he doesn’t give a shit.
Joyce, we love you but we need to get with the Trump program. Next time he can shoot his girlfriend so she won’t be able to testify. There are no more courts or law, in Trump world.
Mel Gibson is a sack of nazi shit.
Fuck Gibson! He’s a drunk and a bigot! Go to hell!
Thank f-ng god, Mel Gibson’s recent films are so bad that we won’t have to worry about boycotting them. They self-boycott.
You're talking about the King of Wasted and Misused Pardons.
Mel Gibson,also a disgusting antisemitic Giving a gun to a violent anti Jewish bigot while the trump administration claims to care about Jewish safety
Look at what years of rage, bigotry, misogyny, cigarettes' and alcohol can do to your skin. Wrinkled, leathered, puckered lizard Scrotum!
He’s a piece of shit.
Fired. For doing her job WELL. There’s a lesson for young people! Pay attention, kids!
Has been… now back in media spotlight? Waste of time thinking about him -
Both Drumpf and Gibson. But now we get to worry about both.
Reason 1 of like 5 million to not like Mel Gibson.
He’s a piece of work!
Part of the King who does not want a rule of law. Only loyalty to the King
A million a pardon... isn't that the going rate?
Trump goes all out for wife beaters, rapists, and sex traffickers while simultaneously belittling and controlling women as much as humanly possible.
Bcs it’s ok with the current GOP when men beat up women.
Trump's Pardon Palooza Mel Gibson, convicted felons, and family members have gone wild. You are invited to Trump's Pardon Party Come for the get-out-of-jail-free cards, stay for the utter disregard for the law As Trump would say, "You get a pardon! You get a pardon! Everybody gets a pardon
Grift is all Drumpf knows...what he has instead of wisdom, compassion, wit or soul.
Mel Gibson is an antisemite, a lousy actor and has been convicted of domestic violence. Why should he get his gun back. If you give this clown his gun why shouldn’t every person guilty of domestic use get their guns back. As a matter of fact why not just buy every American a gun. Simply stupid!
I thought Donald said he was going to protect women - whether we liked it or not.
This is so crazy! Enough already!
Good old Mel “sugar tits” Gibson. FTG
I will never watch Mad Max in the same way… This guy is the biggest wimp of all time.
😡😡
Unfucking believable. The Justice Department has become the Injustice Department under these Maga dopes. And I’m sure good ‘ol Mel will lose sleep himself after hearing his bullshit cost this woman with integrity her job. Not. Fuck Mad Max.
Didn't Trump make him ambassador to Hollywood ..so doesn't he have immunity of his Hollywood consulate🤪...sounds bizarre but we are living in a upside down country.
Look at the forest and not the trees. The Tate Brothers were brought into the country because the are influencers and they will support the administrations propaganda. Mel Gibson and the other Hollywood boot lickers are the same. They are buying influencers to carry the message. dont be fooled
I bet Trump didn’t do this for nothing. There’s always a quid pro quo with this guy.
Hey DonOld you want to go after antisemites? Deport this asshole.
It’s proof that #MuskTrump are arming antisemites as long as they come from the far right, Nazi wing of the GOP.
Trump sold pardons for $1 million last time in WH. Rudy G handled that for him. Wonder what he's charging now. These people are sleazy AF.
Totally agree!
Anyone notice what every actor in Trumps bloated orbit have in common? They all seem to largely irrelevant and haven’t done anything of note or worth in years.
#GriftersGonnaGrift so how much did he donate for a potential pardon? And, he can’t act for shite.
Cronyism is a danger to this country
Oh Im sure Mel paid Donlione a lot for that pardon..because he IS a Hollywood name...
You NEED to tell congress NOT TO VITE ON THEIR BUDGET. PLEASE
Mel gibson is a rascist wife beater
krasnov47 to the rescue, I suppose
The problem is Trump uses the power of the pardon like he uses Executive Orders. For him there are no limits on either. Mel Gibson and Trump is pay to play.
The sexual assaulter, convicted criminal and orange conman’s gift to his lawless & wayward family & friends: You get a pardon! You get a pardon! Everybody gets a pardon! Woo hoo!
So corrupt.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I will never watch another one of Mel Gibson’s movies, in the theater, on cable or Netflix!
He’s been dead to me for years.
Hollywood definitely needs to boycott Mel Gibson for the rest of his life. It that does not work, then every American woman needs to boycott his works forever!
Damn I thought he was dead already.
Guns to a white raving antisemite while for ostensibly antisemitic behaviour an Arab man gets deported without due process for protected speech against genocide. 6 weeks in and the MAGA administration is looking every bit like a worst case scenario
Maybe Mel will have an accident with it on himself? So sick of these cowardly, wimpy "men" that hurt women. Come try that on a man, Mel. What is he afraid of?
Maybe he will shoot himself in the foot or wherever! Mel Gibson is the biggest loser- I will never give a dime to see a movie with him in it! Loser!
He’s dead to me, i wont watch his movies for free
Mel Gibson is a significant icon in the re-patriarchalization of 'Merica. From Mad Max to the Passion of the Christ, he has been a cheer leader for violence, misogyny, and superstition. A street brawler in philosophy and intellect, he is a threat to society.
Remember this? He's lucky he's able to go out in public without. The man has serious anger issues. abcnews.go.com/GMA/LegalCen...
What does Mel Gibson need with a gun when he’s clearly turning into a werewolf?
Does he even need a gun? Can't he just go into a racist, misogynist rant and scare people away?
Exactly. There's no shame at all in this stupid government and in this stupid president. At some level it's childish. You did a bad thing to me and now I'm going to kick sand in your face. Jesus
The DOJ today is simply a marketplace- Bondi has already demonstrated that she can be bought- she is literally a #BoughtAndSold AG. The law today will have to be carried out in the courts, because our DOJ is now the Russian mafia.
Exactly. I would like to know why she restored his gun license?
