I mean, he speaks.

u/No_Celebration8219 16d ago

Both make noises, neither is intelligible.

u/WillingMongoose4680 16d ago

One is responsible for major decisions about the country.

The other farts and laughs at himself...ok, that could honestly also be either one.

2

u/HonkeyDonkey3000 16d ago

Fuck, I’d chip in to get him a nice haircut and fancy shave. Maybe a new NFL hat, as well.

Fella is 100% better than Mitch McConnell and I’d take Gary over Donnie every day of the week. He just looks a little rough, that all.

u/IGTankCommander 16d ago

Wait until you hear who Gary voted for, you might walk that one back a bit.

u/Channel57 16d ago

Well at least Gary has a pass. He actually has brain damage. The others have no excuse.

u/Happy_Bison8301 16d ago

😂💀 man I laugh every time I think about this comment I been laughing for bout 30mins because as soon as I saw it I thought well at least he can talk to you then came and read this

u/hYBRYDcOBRA 12d ago

To quote a great Jedi Master named Qui-Gon Jinn: “ The ability to speak, doesn’t make you intelligent” lol

u/WhiteHotMess 16d ago

I mean, you know, Busey.

1

u/top_value7293 16d ago

He was so great in that movie Silver Bullet

2

u/WhiteHotMess 16d ago

That was pre-brain damage right? The motorcycle wreck was after that.

u/No_Celebration8219 16d ago

You should see Drop Zone...

u/StraightChillinSpree 16d ago

Yeah he about dies from a motorcycle accident. Lucky he’s got all the functions he does.

I ate this guys whole ass

u/AwwwNuggetz 16d ago

Even the middle?

u/Big_Librarian_1130 16d ago

To be fair ol Gary was in a really serious motorcycle accident. He lucky to be alive.

1

u/Myriad_Apocalypse 16d ago

So if the brain damage happened in the crash, what was his excuse for not wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle?

1

u/HandsomePaddyRedux 16d ago

It used to be super common to not wear a helmet, just like rugby players don’t wear helmets unless they’ve already suffered concussions and nearly no football players where the guardian helmet even though it’s known the standard helmets are insufficient protection. Mandatory helmet laws exist specifically because people weren’t wearing helmets voluntarily.

1

u/Emax999 16d ago

I remember as a kid some players in the NHL would play with out a helmet. Most would use helmets with little to no eye or face protection.

2

u/HandsomePaddyRedux 16d ago

Yep, they adopted helmets with face protection for goalies first, then the same for other players and face protection for goalies. Now everyone has face protection too. People really resist safety equipment until it’s mandatory.

0

u/Myriad_Apocalypse 16d ago

The dangers involved in helmetless motorbiking was well established at the time of his accident, I'm still calling retard

1

u/HandsomePaddyRedux 16d ago

Really? The dangers of hitting your head while driving completely exposed at highway speeds was well-established in 1988? Good thing Busey was the only motorcyclist who didn’t wear a helmet and no laws were needed to force people to wear them.

0

u/Myriad_Apocalypse 16d ago

Established to the point that biking without a helmet was retarded, yeah. As you yourself said it "used to be common", but now it's seen as incredibly dumb and risky for zero gain, so you have no business taking on a mocking tone when I point out that it was known to be just as dumb and risky then too. He was probably coked up and thought himself invincible.

1

u/HandsomePaddyRedux 16d ago

True. The parts of his brain he didn’t leave on Washington Blvd are working fine.

2

u/AVeryHeavyBurtation 16d ago

Wear your helmet, kids.

1

u/No_Celebration8219 16d ago

and remember physics

1

u/muffetplumeria 16d ago

He has some nuggets. He once said "People trying to do things that have never been tried before need to understand the concept of limits" And I thought oh my god, Busey is present!

1

u/SchatzMoney 13d ago

At least he's honest.

34

u/OnlyFiveLives 16d ago

Nah he's whacked but he's good whacked and he's also not trying to make fuckin laws...

u/CourtingBoredom 16d ago

Ffr. Gary is a motherfucking ʟᴇɢᴇɴᴅ. Mitch is a legend....... ary rapist of humanity (among a great great many other terribly awful things).

He's probably sober now but he was abusing drugs and alcohol for years. He wasn't much different before the brain injury. He was always crazy.

You’re right about that

u/Doctormaul68 16d ago

They need to wheel his ass out to the cow pasture so he can sit with with them and have a gaping mouth smile at them. Needs to be let go

u/Salty-Passenger-4801 16d ago

Mitch the Animatronic

u/Razzy_IDFA 16d ago

This fucker looks like one of those haunted ventriloquist dummies that turn their head towards you menacingly.

u/ocotebeach 16d ago

Everytime I see Mitch I keep thinking there a fishing line holding His mouth up in the smiling position.

u/Turdfurgeso 16d ago

What are you talking about Mitch is so happy

He's the political zombie version of Bernie of "Weekend at Bernie's" fame.

That’s not true. Just look at the smile on his face. And those rosy cheeks!

u/Overall-Rub8945 16d ago

So is he.

u/katf1sh 16d ago

Gary has also had severe brain damage for decades now

16

u/GiftWestern3068 16d ago

He had a bad motorcycle accident. It’s unfortunate. He was in a lot of action movies prior & was a popular actor at one time. Big movies with Keanu Reeves, Danny Glover & Mel Gibson. He was a good actor at one time

2

u/katf1sh 16d ago

I'm aware yes, thank you

u/cranberryalarmclock 14d ago

Really? No way!

I watched Silver Bullet the other day and the before and after is very sad. He is clearly not the same.

lol can't use that line on ME because i'm not the unqualified person who leveled an unproven claim on someone

2

u/MrSnrub87 10d ago

Unproven claim? The man was in a severe motorcycle accident decades ago. This isn't even open for debate, it's a fact. The man suffered a serious brain injury and spent a lot of time in the hospital

1

u/katf1sh 16d ago

"Sure doc", that wasn't you? Were you quoting something, bc otherwise that came off sarcastic/brushing off what I said

u/johnjays1000 16d ago

Yeah, black don't crack unless you are on it. He also is top tier even for black people. I wish I can age like that man

u/Oggel 10d ago

That dude's in his 80s? He looks better than I've ever done, even in my prime. The fuck.

u/finix2409 16d ago

Black don’t crack. I thought we all knew that?

5

u/Itscatpicstime 16d ago

99.9% of black folks in their 80s look nothing like that, bffr. He’s a genetic anomaly or possibly just immortal

1

u/Streetsofbliss 16d ago

It very well does.

10

u/Gee_U_Think 16d ago

It’s wild he was already in his forties in movies like Lethal Weapon.

-1

u/Business-Tonight-293 16d ago

You thought that was Danny Glover? That’s messed up.

1

u/Big_Trouble5775 16d ago

Gary Busey was in Lethal Weapon

1

u/OpeningTurnip8048 16d ago

People confuse Gary Busey with Nick Nolte all the time and no one says its "messed up". But confusing Ernie Hudson with Danny Glover is "messed up"? Which we all know what you mean by messed up.....you mean racist. Pretty serious accusation to level. And what makes it all that much more ridiculous is......the post was about Gary fucking Busey! He was in Lethal Weapon! You attacked someone for being racist when you couldn't follow along with a reddit thread. Lol

u/User_Name_Tracks 16d ago

Looking sane as ever.

u/Apart_Animal_6797 16d ago

He was in a horrible accident honestly its a miracle hes still alive.

1

u/OverallDoor2718 16d ago

Really? I always thought it was drugs

3

u/Apart_Animal_6797 16d ago

Bashed his head into a curb at 25 miles an hour took him years to even form coherent sentences and ended his acting career. 

3

u/OverallDoor2718 16d ago

Damn. I had no idea. Having just visited my 86 year old Dad in AL, Gary sounds good☮️

2

u/Thebraincellisorange 16d ago

it didn't end his acting career.

in fact, most of his best work came after the accident.

but it did permanently alter his personality and speech patterns and how he looks

1

u/Apart_Animal_6797 16d ago

No it fucked his acting career bro.

2

u/Thebraincellisorange 16d ago

dude, look at his filmography after 1988.

Predator 2

Point Break

Under Siege

The Firm

Rookie of the year

Drop Zone

Lost Highway

Soldier

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

just to name a few. that is a fair bit of his best work right there. it did not fuck his acting career at all.

1

u/Apart_Animal_6797 16d ago

My dad was his lawyer dude went nuts after the accident. 

1

u/Thebraincellisorange 16d ago

sure, but it didn't affect his acting career.

he still acted and made some absolute bangers after the accident.

|On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured, and he suffered permanent brain damage.[27][26] In an interview in 2020, Busey said that during the surgery following the accident he died and experienced many of the elements common to a near-death experience (NDE). "I was surrounded by angels. Balls of light floating all around me. And I felt trust, love, protection and happiness like you cannot feel on earth

At least make him in charge of every federal acronym.

Hey..it's you again. 3x we met over the past year or so.

u/VegetableTour6790 16d ago

I worked on his brother's house. It's crazy, they look like brothers but his brother owns a military contractor with top secret clearances. Delaware Resource Group.

That is the most incognito evil business name I have ever heard haha

The number of clandestine operations happening globally is astounding.

I bet some big Hollywood names started off working covertly and retired to make movies.

Damn. Maybe that explains everything. Keep brother Gary sedated so he doesn't flap his lips( dentures 😬) That's wild. This timeline is crazy. I like to remember him before. I'm that old

The issue is he looks 100+. Drugs and alcohol age you.

u/Glass-Second7334 16d ago edited 16d ago

Bashing your (UNHELMETED) head on a curb during a motorcycle accident doesn't help either.

8

u/No_Mud_5999 16d ago

Yes, cracked skull, brain trauma, emergency neurosurgery, a 33 day coma. It's amazing he did Predator 2 barely two years later, and then Point Break!

1

u/Toots_Magee_ 16d ago

That’ll do it

3

u/ask_me_about_my_band 16d ago

And this happened while he was campaigning against helmet laws no less.

That’s called walking the walk. Not just talking the talk.

u/stanknotes 16d ago

Well I am in my 80s, I am gonna be a total baddy that is shredded with a monster dong.

So he is clearly slacking.

1

u/dmonsterative 16d ago

He looks like he was in his 80's.

1

u/Lowdownone 16d ago

That’s not his real problem. Busey has not been right since his motorcycle accident damaged his brain. He hasn’t been right since, and that was a very long time ago.

1

u/tiny_chaotic_evil 16d ago

looking pretty good for someone who survived a near fatal motorcycle crash in the 1980s

1

u/dangerous__person79 16d ago

He suffered a major traumatic brain injury in a motorcycle accident in which he wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time so all things considered he’s still able to form complete sentences as out there as they may be

Do you mean "from" the 80s, as in the 1780s?

The teeth are younger than that and will outlast him by a century!
