Republican leader embarrassed by Ali G film says he plans to sue Sacha Baron Cohen: ‘A liar and a pervert’
Exclusive: Michael Aboud, whose actions in what he believed to be a documentary are likely to come under considerable scrutiny, has expressed anger at the film-maker• This article contains substantial spoilers for Ali G: Who Iz I?www.theguardian.com
Oh wow...the article gets so much worse. He apparently tricks the magas into attempting to kidnap a pregnant woman and murder the infant by dropping it from a drone.
It's ◊◊◊◊ like this that made me go from feeling sorry for them to actively hating them.

It reminds me of the episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in which Robin Williams played a man inspired by things like the Milgram Experiment, who manipulated people into committing crimes through the perception of authority. By pretending to be a police officer, over the phone, he convinced a fast food restaurant manager to tie up and strip search one of his female employees.
Didn't take much effort to get you to do it, did it? I wonder why.

Minor point...
You know that that case (fake cop calling fast food restaurants and tricking them to stop search employees) is actually based on a real life case.

I remember seeing a documentary on that. It's astonishing how easily some people can be manipulated with the right voice and confidence.Minor point...

Are we sure that he knows who Confucius was? Maybe he thinks they're called Confusing Institutes? I don't doubt that Confucius would confuse him.
I'm a fan of Melania's Ukraine-Russia cease fire initiative (thought up to create content for her reality series, I'm guessing), by the way, I hope it will be incredibly successful, so successful that she gets the peace prize. That would be fun!

I don't think the DoD gets to do that.
It's so adorable that they're trying though.

It's also cute that they think they can stop Chinese Soft Power that way.

In U.S. Gas Talks With Kremlin, Hidden Financing for Alaska Project Emerges
Interviews and documents show a Russian energy giant secretly funded a U.S. firm. The deal has been discussed in talks to end the war in Ukraine.

And all because non-combat veteran Kegsbreath wanted to steal some honour.A metaphor for both Trump's and Hegseth tenure.
Hegseth’s Staff Destroyed Priceless Artifact From Former President
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff damaged a globe that belonged to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.newrepublic.com
Destroying a priceless piece of history because of impatience and carelessness
As I said, a very apt metaphor even down to trashing the American Globe
