So like what if we told American politicians that it would be so cool of them to dress like Star Wars politicians for a day but then when they actually did it we just made fun of them?

So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.

And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?

The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.

Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.

That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!

‘Heretics’ to offer free ‘unbaptisms,’ gender-affirming rituals at Washington state Capitol

The Olympian

[langernameohnebedeutung]

American nutjob politicians will say stuff like: "We need climate change because tornadoes will carry us to heaven during the rapture! The terrorists are stealing Christmas!" and British politicians are like... you'll just casually find out they were 5 times asbestos eating champion of the Lower Prickwhiggle Club, their university entry interview consisted of throwing endangered toads at poor people from a bus, and everyone at their hometown knows them as that rich family whose Estate is the only remaining continuous bubonic plague vector since 1348 bc they traditionally wear squirrels for hats.

An Israeli influence campaign is using hundreds of online avatars and fake social media accounts to attack Democratic lawmakers critical of Israel and promote news articles disapproving of the United Nations Palestine refugee agency (Unrwa), according to a report by the Israeli online watchdog, Fake Reporter. According to the report, the targeted campaign has used more than 600 avatars, sending out 58,000 tweets and social media posts to circulate articles published by The Guardian, CNN and Wall Street Journal, among other major news outlets that amplify Israel’s position on the war. The campaign relies on three major social networks, UnFold Magazine, Non-Agenda and The Moral Alliance, which were created prior to the war in Gaza. But the Hamas-led 7 October attack on southern Israel sent the accounts into round-the-clock posting. The sites, according to Fake Reporter, are geared specifically to a “progressive audience”, publishing content on climate change, AI regulation, and human rights, in addition to the war in Gaza. They have more than 43,000 followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The avatars promoting the content talk up their identity with lines like, “As a middle-aged African American woman” and use hashtags like #FaithJourney and #AfricanAmericanSpirituality.

Some examples from the report:

And continuing,

The avatars were all created on the same day and their profiles were written with the same formula, subbing out just a few words. The declared gender and ethnicity of the avatars don’t match the profile photos, which have been taken from websites selling headshots. The campaign works to amplify news stories published by major media outlets. First, the fake news sites share the reports. Then, the avatars share them across social media, including on the official accounts of Democratic lawmakers. Avatars also shared social media posts showing video clips of what appeared to be Pro-Palestinian protestors calling for "massacres to be normalised" and calling for the US to "go to hell", contrasting that with peaceful protests of pro-Israel protestors.   In other cases, Avatars simply reshared widely published video clips of US lawmakers questioning the heads of Ivy League schools about antisemitism on campus.  [...] According to the report, around 85 percent of all the US politicians targeted by the campaign were Democrats, and 90 percent of them were African Americans. Ritchie Torres, a black Democratic Congressman with generally pro-Israel views, garnered the most social media engagement from the avatars. Other lawmakers targeted included Cori Bush; Lucy McBath; House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries; and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock. Israeli news site Haaretz reported in January that the Israeli government had launched an online influence campaign to respond to pro-Palestinian content and reports about Hamas.  It’s unclear whether the campaign revealed by Fake Reporter is part of that initiative.

Asa Hutchinson Former Governor of Arkansas

Apparently, Hutchinson has been testing the waters for a presidential bid and said Sunday he will seek the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

I really don't care. He's just another handsome, conservative Republican that I'll shot a load to from time to time.

George Santos News About His Fake Resume True Or False

George Santos is a New York-based American politician. After trying unsuccessfully for the position two years prior, George Santos, a Republican, was elected in 2022 to represent New York's 3rd congressional district, which includes sections of northern Long Island and north-eastern Queens. Six weeks after his election, the New York Times and other news organisations discovered that most of Santos' autobiographical claims appear to be false, including statements about his origins, education, job, charitable activities, and property ownership.

George Santos Age is 34 and was born in America on July 22, 1988. George Santos is a New York-based American politician. In 1884, George Santos' maternal grandpa came to Brazil with his family. George Santos Parents were  Brazilian and holds dual citizenship. George Santos stated that his maternal grandfather was a Ukrainian Jew who escaped to Belgium and then Germany during World War II to avoid the Holocaust. Although genealogical records and other data indicate that Santos' forebears lived in Brazil for at least three generations.

Recently George Santos is being trolled for his statement expressed in "NY Post".  He indicated that everything he had written on his résumé about his work and degree was false. He is facing rising criticism from House Democrats, some of whom have called on him to resign, as well as from some Republicans, with at least one of his fellow incoming Republicans calling for an ethics investigation.
