It's certainly a very American thing.
Bizarre to be honest, as I wouldn't want anyone in the music industry to be backing me. I'd be frightened to death of being found "guilty by association" when they get accused of sex offences

A new Supreme Court case could change the result of the presidential election
Republicans ask the Supreme Court to disenfranchise thousands of Pennsylvania voters.
On October 23, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that many voters who cast a mailed-in ballot improperly, thus rendering their vote “void,” should be allowed to cast a ballot on Election Day that will actually be counted. Though it’s hard to pin down exactly how many voters will be impacted by this decision, it’s likely that thousands of Pennsylvanians will regain their ability to vote in the November election if the state supreme court’s decision remains in effect.
The case, which was known as Genser v. Butler County Board of Elections when it was decided by the state supreme court, involves a genuinely difficult legal question that required the state’s justices to resolve a conflict between two competing legal principles. It split them 4-3, with four Democrats forming the majority and two Republicans and one Democrat in dissent.
On Monday, the Republican Party asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and effectively disenfranchise the thousands of voters who will be allowed to vote if the state court’s Genser decision stands. That alone is a very big deal. If the 2024 presidential election is very close, as is expected, and if victory comes down to which candidate wins Pennsylvania, a US Supreme Court decision in favor of the GOP could flip the winner of this election from Kamala Harris to Donald Trump. (Although more Republicans are expected to vote by mail than in 2020, Democrats likely still have an advantage with this cohort.)
But this case could also have massive implications for US democracy that extend far beyond the 2024 election, even if Harris wins in a landslide.

Of course the Supreme court would normally decline to hear the case in a week, but times have changed. A big test for them.A new Supreme Court case could change the result of the presidential election

Because he would have wanted him to perform Many Men as it was a huge meme after his assassination attempt.

What is the focus on Israel and Jewish identity in U.S. politics? There are people suffering and dying in wars in Ukraine and Palestine, oppression is widespread, living costs have skyrocketed, and children are facing hunger. Yet, politicians seem more interested in throwing away millions of dollars, promoting rallies with corrupt celebrities rather than addressing these pressing issues.
Fuck off US.

The power of the lobbying system. Way more corrosive than say russian interference yet barely gets a mention.
And saying GOP lawyers have already got filings ready for local results they don't like. How can you have filings ready if you don't know what offence might be alleged?
Thank you, president Hindenburg.
He knew Hitler didn't really mean what he said.
I never know whether you're still in WUM mode, or just being daft.

See? One plays MLK, commemorated with his own day in the USA, and one imitates Hitler.
This is the ultimate Allthesamery.
