MovieChat Forums > Dwayne Johnson Discussion > First ever endorsement

I remember when he endorsed George W. Bush over John Kerry. In fact, I remember him admitting that he was a Republican.

So, he endorsed Dubya, who lied about Iraq having yellowcake uranium so we could bomb the shit out of them, then he endorses Biden, who was part of the administration that lied about Assad gassing his own people so we could bomb the shit out of Syrians

and Biden was also a part of the administration that didn't give any coherent reason for turning relatively peaceful Libya into a Mad-max style hellscape where mob rule reigns where there was once law and order.

It appears that the action star "The Pebble" likes his presidents to be war mongers who blow people and countries up for no coherent reason.

Pebble...Life isn't an action movie. Those are real people dying, not actors feigning death.

Libya was never a peaceful democracy. Quaddaffi found favor with US even after he sponsored terrorism, so Americans are hypocrites for thinking that they've always been anti-Terrorism "do-gooders". Only when it fits our geopolitical needs do Americans flip the script on their morality, or shall I say relative-morality. The Arab Spring was also an organic force of nature, even though many here in the states like to credit to either George Soros or the Illuminati. Of course after that has passed, the military regimes in every country where protests occurred took control again and now we're back to business as usual.

As for Matthis' comments, that's all on King Donald J Trump's watch, not Biden.

You are all over the place and so far off the orginal topic that I don't even really know where to begin in addressing. First, you mischaracterized what I said, and I fucking hate that. It is at least excusable when someone is responding to what I said, but you could have easily looked up at what I wrote, but you chose not to. I *NEVER said Libya was a democracy. I said Libya libya was relatively peaceful under Qaddafi in the 2010s (see article below), and the administration Iwhere Biden was VP) still decided to back some coup to topple him and turn peaceful and prosperous Libya into a hellscape. That is a war crime, but no one dares try and haul the perpetrators (not just the US, but key players in western Europe).

2) Americans are hypocrites for thinking that they've always been anti-Terrorism "do-gooders".

Couple things. First you are painting with a very broad brush when you say "Americans think this". Im an American and I just told you I think the two presidents before Trump were war criminals. Second, you seem to think the Americans are alone in this regime change when Great Britain, France, and Germany are usually wiling participants as well. It's just America usually does the dirty work as they have the strongest military.

3) As for Matthis' comments, that's all on King Donald J Trump's watch, not Biden.

Wrong. The excuse of Assad gassing his own people to initiate hostilities was made in 2013 under Obama (2). A quote from Obama

"The situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when Assad’s government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children. "

That has now been shown to be a bald-faced lie. Trump has been nominated THREE times for the Nobel Peace Prize because he de-escalates

BWAHAHAHAH. Trump the self-nominated huckster who wants regime change in Iran, and so do you because Hezbollah scared you into thinking they'd kidnap your blonde american ass in Lebanon and who also supports bombing and killing civilians in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria is your "de-escalator" now, but in reality he's no different than any other self-righteous American President.

reply

Absolutely he is. U.S. forces have a much smaller footprint abroad now than they did four years ago and he is the first President of the modern era to not start a new war. The president is for extraction in Syria and Iraq and has said so publicly on numerous occasions, but the military-industrial complex has a lot of power and fight to keep forces their. Yemen is someone else's war and the U.S. has only had a miniscule involvement. Trump has been nominated on three of four occasions for a Nobel Peace Prize and unlike Barry, he actually deserves the it. Finally, you never responded to Europe's war mongering in the Middle East.

who gives a flying f, hes owned by China

reply

Hollywood is liberal. He's probably trying to protect his career.

He expressed most of his Republican views before his acting career took off.

reply

Long before this insane time in which we live Republicans hid their views in Hollyweird.

It's a sick and perverted town.

reply

Sounds like you’ve really “done your research” lol

reply

You mean Trump's Secretary of the Treasury is a perverted Hollyweird mastermind? He is a seasoned producer of violent action movies. Maybe that's why Trump picked him?

reply

He's literally just endorsed a Democrat.
Ironically, espousing anything resembling Republican views were something he night have felt compelled to do so because his boss (before his acting career took off) is a right wing nut.

But now that he's free from those shackles, he can openly espouse his own views. Those views seem to be that Kamala Harris and Biden and the democratic party is the way to go, when to compared to the fascist radical right.

reply

The fact that you just listed Harris before Biden lends credence to the idea that the left is using Biden as a trojan horse to put in who they really want.

reply

And the earth is flat. It's incredible how dim-witted the right are.

reply

Okay let me know what you think after Biden's performance on Tuesday....

reply

Google "non-sequiter" because you just proved my point.

reply

Love it! Triggering right wing snowflakes is the people's champ.

reply

Meanwhile "tolerant" LIEberal snowflakes have been perpetually triggered for four years straight, lol.

reply

I'd say that's the case with right wing snowflakes and you just proved my point! On you go, like a good lapdog snowflake Republican!

reply

Wrong, I'm an Independent. Of course to LIEberals these days anything remotely right of Far Left lunacy is a "lapdog snowflake Republican" (rolling my eyes).

reply

Sureeeeee. We believe you.

I'm a right wing Republican but I moved to the center because I recognize that all right wing nuts are snowflakes. And tend to be racist. And have low IQs.

reply

And tend to be racist.


Can LIEberals even speak a sentence without accusing someone of being a "racist"? You guys really need to get some fresh material.

Let me guess, you think The View is a great source for news, Elizabeth Warren is a valid AmerIndian and there are 500 genders.

reply

You realize that this isn't how liberal is spelt, right?
What am I talking about. It's a right wing Republican. Spelling errors are expected.

reply

In other words, you have issues with reading comprehension. Most BLM/KLANTIFA rioters do. They also live with mommy and don't work or pay taxes. We understand.

reply

Easy there snowflake
Wouldn't want you to melt.

BLM consists of most of the non-racist US population. What on earth does that have to do with rioters.

KLANTIFA? Are you around 11 years old?

reply

He sure knows how to pick 'em - lol
If the last elections had the least likable candidates on both sides - this time it's even worse, because you have the same corrupt, stupid, senile creeps, only older still.

reply

Biden's a heck of a lot more likable than Hillary.

reply

His children routine is creepy as fuck.

reply

Sure is!

Pretty creepy when Trump describes his own daughter, too.

reply

They are both ultimate winners - role models for the American youth - lol

My point stands - American have to pick between 2 unlikable dudes - both senile - both creepy. If I were a big time celebrity and had to make my first public endorsement, I'd wait for another 4-20 years until someone worthy of an endorsement comes along.

reply

Nikki Haley 2024

reply

I was more responding to point out that Biden is a small step up from Clinton in terms of likability.

reply

He'll probably run for governor in the near future.

I have friends in the film industry. I don’t know Dwayne Johnson, never met the man.
However there is a huge battle going on in Hollywood where anyone that supports Trump is cancelled or even blacklisted. You will be fired from ongoing or new projects if your employer suspects that you support him. If you don’t post anti Trump propaganda on your social media you are under suspicion. What Dwayne Johnson is doing is being PC.
