Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation. We may no longer have Senator McCain. But we will always have his example — a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue. Mr. Trump may fear such honorable men, but we should revere them. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more. See? We actually managed to accomplish some Real Republican Shit!

Don't mean to get all Biggie-Rich on your asses

Exactly. If we were, this wouldn't be an issue! -
Oh I'm well aware of his apology. I just don't believe a word of it, in the same way that I don't believe apologies from Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, etc. etc. In the case of Gibson, the preponderance of evidence -- from his own words said absolutely unbidden during an interview, words that reflect the doctrinal teachings of Catholic traditionalism -- suggests a historical pattern of anti-Jewish sentiment. Based on that, I feel more than comfortable in determining what resides in his "heart".

Comrade @Fizzzzle speaks the truth! The farce that is "Labor Day" only serves to further mock the proletariat! -
Gibson was raised in a "traditionalist" faction of the Catholic Church that emphasizes the teachings of the Church prior to the Second Vatican Council. Part of those teachings holds Jews as being "responsible" for the death of Christ. This is the same doctrine that the Catholic Church used to justify the persecution of Jews from the time of Constantine through the Inquisition right up until the 20th Century. For his part, this is what Gibson said in a supposedly non-drunken moment: What is known is that Gibson is reported to have blamed Jews for forcing him to cut a scene, in which Jews and their descendants are held responsible for the murder of Christ, from his 2004 film, "The Passion of the Christ." Sounding a bit like he did that July night in Malibu, Gibson told The New Yorker: "If I included that in there, they'd be coming after me at my house. They'd come to kill me." In the same New Yorker article, Gibson accuses "modern secular Judaism" of trying to "blame the Holocaust on the Catholic Church" and that "they've been working on that one for a while." Based on the accumulated evidence, I'd say that it's more than reasonable to state that Mel Gibson is an anti-Semite when it comes to Jewish Semites (no idea about his feelings regarding Arab Semites).

John Romero has just congratulated Doom guru Zero Master on discovering the last hidden secret of Doom II, some 24 years after it was released. A secret that had previously been thought impossible to actually find.

Jailed reporters' wives 'devastated' by Aung San Suu Kyi response “Aung San Suu Kyi used to give speeches before I even understood English, and I would always listen to them because I knew the leader of the country was talking,” said Pan Ei Mon, wife of the reporter Wa Lone, as she addressed the press in Yangon. “I loved her and respected her so much, but she said our husbands were not reporters because they violated the nation’s secrets, and I am very devastated by that answer.”
