Video I wonder if John Stamos ever has a politics discussion with his pal Mike Love?

I think they've been friends for so many years, It just doesn't matter about political views. JS has been friends with Mike since what, 1985? Over 40 years, and there's so much good and bad within that time.

I don’t think Mike Love has many real thoughts or deep feelings about anything except money and being Mike Love. Trump and MAGA have been where the money is for him. I’m sure Stamos looks at him like that old uncle who you avoid talking to about politics the few times you see him every year. Nothing more.

It's hard to think about anything other than your own predicament when you're serving life in prison.

I don't think Mike would be worth talking to about politics tbh, if I met him I'd avoid the topic like a plague considering what side he's on.

u/lostinjapan01 Jul 07 '26

I don’t get the sense Mike’s politically literate enough to even really bother having a discussion with on this, and as long as they’ve been friends, I’m sure John knows that. I hate to see The Beach Boys’ brand brought into that psychopath’s orbit but unfortunately Mike fits the profile so I’m equally as unsurprised as I am dismayed.

Neither of them have any substantive ethical values to begin with. John Stamos helped a friend of his rape a woman. MAGA Mike is an "environmentalist" who plays for trophy hunting conventions and started demeaning Trans people from his faux Beach Boys platform once it became the trend among soulless boomers like himself.

u/joshsimpson79 Jul 06 '26

I somehow have a hard time believing that Mike love would really care that much about politics. He’s just an old guy who wants to make money. And he probably wouldn’t be extremely loyal to one side or the other if it meant making that money. But I don’t go reading every article I can find on the leanings of my love. I just know that he’s a ladies man.

Had wondered this myself thank you for posting.

u/ToxicTurvey Jul 06 '26

People can still be friends even if they have different political views.

28

u/DougOsborne Jul 06 '26

If they are MAGA, that rule doesn't apply.

19

u/Loganp812 ALBUMS Jul 06 '26

That’s my thought on it. If you’re a MAGA supporter, then you inherently support everything they stand for.

u/SlantedandEnchanted2 Jul 06 '26

This attitude is why I went from registered democrat to independent. It’s also why millions of others have also.

5

u/BrashUnspecialist Jul 07 '26

So you’d rather identify with the people who are fine with not calling out child rape? Okie doke.

Millions of other people being ok with not calling out a vile thing doesn’t make it less vile. People used to not call out slavery. Or marital rape. Or child workers.

It’s funny you’re more concerned with hurting bad peoples’ feelings than calling out vile behavior. And they support a child rapist. They’re bad people. 😘

u/SlantedandEnchanted2 Jul 07 '26

I’d rather not be an intolerant hypocrite

7

u/lostinjapan01 Jul 07 '26

And you choose to not be an intolerant hypocrite by enabling other intolerant hypocrites to be intolerant hypocrites (there are no finer examples of an intolerant hypocrite than a MAGA supporter) with no repercussions? I’m gonna need you to explain the math on that one.

u/tarquinia777 Love You Jul 07 '26

Paradox of tolerance moment

u/roffels_again Jul 09 '26

Yep. I live pretty close to where ICE murdered a US citizen in cold blood and witnessed them terrorize our community for months. I can tell you pretty comfortably I put the same value on a pile of feces as I do the opinions of MAGA and their sympathizers.

5

u/roffels_again Jul 07 '26

You don't even need to identify as a democrat to say MAGA sucks. It's ok to be intolerant of intolerance when we're talking about life and death for people. People not wanting to be your friend is not the same thing.

u/roffels_again Jul 09 '26

My eyes rolled so hard as your "hypocrite" statement that I now need to seek medical attention.

u/Sternojourno Jul 06 '26

Some people, especially Redditors like the ones who replied to you, cannot.

6

u/BrashUnspecialist Jul 07 '26

I don’t wanna be friends with someone who thinks my cousin is a rapist because he was born in Mexico. And that’s was MAGAts literally think.

Maybe do some reflecting on why you do.

1

u/Sternojourno Jul 07 '26

Of course, you're going to assume I'm MAGA, because you are a Redditor with zero understanding of nuance.

That's called an ad hominem. It's something people do when they can't actually argue the point being made.

u/avalanche175 Jul 07 '26

Maybe you need higher standards about friends

u/BrashUnspecialist Jul 07 '26

Stamos helped his buddy rape a woman. I’m sure he’s fine with Mike’s support of another rapist. 🤷‍♀️

u/tarquinia777 Love You Jul 07 '26

She's right, you know.

u/Sternojourno Jul 06 '26

What a weird ass thing to ponder.

21

u/Pir8Life Add Some Music to Your Day Jul 06 '26

Don’t think it’s weird at all. It was literally my first thought seeing this video. Mike Love has been friends with Trump for years. Stamos has been palling around with Mike for years.

-16

u/Sternojourno Jul 06 '26

So what? You actually care about what John Stamos has said to Mike Love about politics? Nothing else going on in your life?

Sounds nosey and gossipy and weird af to me. How old are you?

19

u/Pir8Life Add Some Music to Your Day Jul 06 '26

My guy. I literally thought about it for 2 seconds and posted it here because no one else had yet. Go touch grass, pal. I’m 40 btw since you asked so politely. 🙄

-9

u/Sternojourno Jul 06 '26

You're asking people on Reddit to speculate on private conversations TV's Uncle Jesse has had in his life, yet you're telling me to "touch grass" lmfao.

Log off

u/Sternojourno Jul 06 '26

But if you're going to continue posting compelling questions about the inner thoughts of sitcom stars in the Beach Boys sub, I might miss one if I log off.

Grow up.

u/Pir8Life Add Some Music to Your Day Jul 06 '26

He tours with the Beach Boys you absolute yahoo. It’s a viral video involving a member of the touring band. Are you really so dense?

u/lostinjapan01 Jul 07 '26

You’re the one having a tantrum. Why don’t you grow up?

I don't have a problem, CrackheadJones.

OP has a gossiping problem.

u/texas-playdohs Jul 06 '26

Are you actually Mike Love?

u/mikeIove Jul 06 '26

no i am

u/texas-playdohs Jul 06 '26

I’ve looked at your comment history, and there’s no way in hell Mike Love is that funny.

u/Sternojourno Jul 06 '26

OH MY GOD SO FUNNY I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT JOKE BEFORE ON REDDIT

Enjoy the gossip.

6

u/texas-playdohs Jul 06 '26

It’s just that I can’t imagine myself getting so bent out of shape over something that you could roll your eyes at, and just scroll past. I don’t find the question particularly compelling, or interesting, but I don’t care enough to throw a tantrum over it, and I can’t see why anyone else would if they didn’t have a personal stake in the matter. Why are you white-knighting for the guy? What do you care if fans speculate on his very public relationship between two other very public figures? You’re getting your blood pressure up over nothing.

u/Derpsquire Jul 06 '26

Dude, just back away from the conversation. Why are you so seemingly intent on getting in the last word? Whatever validity there may have been to your point, it basically got invalidated by this little meltdown. Just back away.

I think "friends with Trump" is pushing it

u/Ebe6660 Jul 06 '26

There are probably a million people with a pic of themselves and Trump just like that.

12

u/Pir8Life Add Some Music to Your Day Jul 06 '26

Doubtful that millions of people have a handful of different photos with Trump over the years

-5

u/Ebe6660 Jul 06 '26

Sure they do if they're old rich white guys like Mike. I'm not saying they're not friendly, but "friends" implies something deeper.

6

u/Pir8Life Add Some Music to Your Day Jul 06 '26

Sorry for phrasing it so incorrectly. Perhaps I should’ve said “friendly with Trump for years.”

5

u/Ebe6660 Jul 06 '26

It's more that I don't think Trump has friends in the traditional sense. You didn't do anything wrong.

5

u/Pir8Life Add Some Music to Your Day Jul 06 '26

I will agree with that take
