Just when I thought that the creator of Ali G could might never be relevant again.. The insanity of US politics comes to his rescue! This might be a new low for politics - which is quite a challenge indeed...
Georgia Republican State Representative, Jason Spencer, was deceived by Sacha Baron Cohen into thinking he was being trained by an ex Israeli secret service agent to defend himself against terrorists. Amazingly, Spencer's clear lack of personal strength and ability to freely think was used against him by Cohen with ease. Cohen had Spencer acting like a puppet without activating a single brain cell in the process!
Highlights:
Cohen tells Spencer that Isis are afraid of men's buttocks coming close to them because they don't want to be seen as gay. Amazingly Spencer drops his trousers and 'attacks' Cohen with his bare ass to attempt to disarm him - while shouting 'USA'. LOL LOL
Spencer holds a knife to the camera and shouts to 'terrorists' that if they 'try to threaten us' 'we will cut of your - bleep' and then he motions with the knife to pretend to cut off the penis of a manikin with a black hood over it's head. He then says that we will 'shove it in your mouth' (while holding up a sausage and ripping part of it off in his own mouth) Psychopath much? Not LOL.
Cohen tells Spencer that the Isrealis pretend to be Chinese tourists and then distract people in Burkahs while using their 'selfie stick' to take photos underneath the burkah to find out if the person is a woman or a terrorist. Spencer then tries to do this by impersonating Chinese tourists by saying random Asian words/phrases such as 'Beijing' and bizarrely 'Red Dragon' over and over again. LOL
Other 'lawmakers' are also seen advocating for putting guns in the hands of 'highly trained preschoolers'! Yes, toddlers with guns - it's the only way to be safe - apparently..
It was not long ago that you would only ever see such things in satirical comedy, but now it is actually how American 'lawmakers' openly speak? What next? Execute everyone on Earth in case they think about doing something illegal? Maybe that's only a few years away...
For anyone wondering - yes, we can evolve, balance and heal such that violence ends - but it cannot be done by vacant bravado and weaponisation of everything.. You do not create peace through having more guns - it is a physical impossibility.
UPDATE: HE HAS NOW RESIGNED.

Proof once again that the political class is populated with clowns. Good for Cohen for exposing this idiocy.

When I look at something like that, I wonder - has the world always been that crazy and I just started to notice it??? :)

We are going through a process of revealing known as 'apocalypse' where much that has been present for aeons will be made clear for us to heal, balance and evolve!

You mean like a spiritual Renaissance of sorts? It does seem like more people are waking up to what really matters. I certainly hope so!

In a sense, though the survivors will not be repeating the patterns of the recorded past as most of them are dysfunctional.

Well America, we are done for. No elders here. At least not in charge of anything. These folks put a new spin on Congress being useless. A bunch of New World Order useful idiots. I guess that's why they are there.
We CAN heal. We the people do it ourselves. WE are our communities, not them.

Not that I like that Cohen pretended to be a disabled Vet for one of his stings, but I wonder if the people who do some of this crazy stuff need to have handlers so they can get through life without doing stupid stuff.

In some cases their vacant stare and inability to process information intelligently is part of what makes them susceptible from control from 'handlers' - so it is likely that the handlers just take a bad situation and make it worse!

Hi @ura-soul. Please try to read this comment with an open mind, TRY not to be offened, and TRY to consider this is the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism it is meant to be. Let me preface this by saying that, in general, I respect and enjoy your content. However, I have also had some concerns building up over some of your views, statements, and other issues, which seem to be growing to the point of an additional frustration (piled on to the MASSIVE amout of other frustration - some of which you are aware of through our personal communications - which, of course, I will keep strictly confidential , as that is the type of guy I am). To cut to the chase, I am starting to seriously question your judgement, specifically your basing your opinions on a state propaganda source such as CNN (in the first video showcased in this post). It is of my PERSONAL opinion that this sort of "evidence" is NOT in line with my personal and/or political views (and I am NOT taking a pro-Republican stance here). In addition, I am finding that you folks outside of the US are really NOT properly informed about the situation in America, in the SAME way that WE are not properly informed about the situation in the UK - how could we be EXPECTED to be? Now, since this is a feeling which has been BUILDING in me over time, I am going to take the following measures to create the sort of DISTANCE I need to allow all of the other stressors in my life the space THEY need so that I don't go completely BALLISTIC into the near future :
Step 1 : I will be taking you off of auto-vote as of today. This is PARTLY because I can't keep track of all of your posts, and so if you are posting similar content to this and I miss it I don't want to contribute upvotes to this. I AM, however, open to upvoting some of your future content, IF they are within a certain threshold based on my personal views. I don't think it is any particular crime for ANY Steemian to take this kind of stance.
Step 2 : If this sort of "content incongruency" continues I will then decide whether or not to continue even taking the time to consume your content. There are OTHER people on here whose overall perspectives I resonate better with, and just like YOU it is only prudent to gravitate towards those people's content.
Step 3 - I hope there will be no need to continue to a Step 3 measure, which would be a further measure to distance myself from your content.
As I said, I am NOT trying to personally attack you. I just need to keep frustration to as minimal level as possible these days. I also DO NOT think it would be productive to debate about this (in public OR private). I also DO NOT wish to engage in ANY SORT of personal insults, or any other sort of conflictual behavior. I am merely stating my position here, and hoping that you will respect it, and wishing you the best as you continue your content production endeavor into the future.
Respectfully,
@transcript-junky

You are free to do whatever you prefer, within integrity, there is no problem with that. If you review my message here and the original video from Sacha Baron Cohen, you will see that regardless of what CNN's mouthpieces are saying, the point here is that of the behaviour of the politician who has now resigned since it is so obvious to just about anyone that he is unstable at best. I only shared the material from CNN because at that time it was the only piece I had seen which summarised the story - there is no other reason and I ordinarily don't watch CNN or any other news channel.
