Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Crazy story about how boebert, candace owens, tomi lahren and more of that type of vapid, gop agent of chaos - all started on a sketchy "modeling agency" website (which seems like it's also used as an escort service potentially) called "explore talent"?
It shows some of these "political pundits" in revealing, suggestive poses and is run by an Israeli pornographer with ties to organized crime (Name is Ami Shafrir and he is suspected/accused of some other pretty serious stuff).
Here are some of the photos that were captured (with watermark):
Here's boebert (this photo really shows you her roots as the illegitimate daughter of a deadbeat amateur wrestler from Florida).
And I guess, until recently at least, candice owens' whole profile was still up.
There's always another layer to these cartoon villains and their evil, desperation and ignorance.
And here's a Twitter thread that broke it open and continues to track as new members of things like the Jan 6 insurrection are found to mysteriously also be in the explore talent family
Recent screen grab of that thread
Read through the whole thing. Holy shite.
Sounds like the website is more of an aggregator and not really like these people were affiliated with it. And I guess it would make sense that amongst so many good looking people (them tramp stamps though), they'd have profiles pop up on that sort of aggregator.
Like I have websites that track my name and basic professional details and I have no affiliation with the sites. They scraped my data and while they pose as a "directory" it's really an ad.
Sorry, not sure what you're referencing with mention of an aggregator? Can you source what you're claiming?
Aggregators crawl the web to find similar interests and lump em together, for ease and also to generat3 revenue. Personally I see them mostly in stuff like manga sites and lookup sites.
What this may mean for the poster is not that he's disagreeing with the actors statement, but more that they probably all aren't directly affiliated with the one site. They may have had profiles up with different sites and agencies and this one site has crawled and pulled their info into a more easily searchable database. That in turn would make this a bit less collaborative, and perhaps more emblematic of a common trait than a specific strategy.
Exactly what I was suggesting. I had previously thought it was the former, but the description of the site makes it sound like it's a product of common traits (skankery, slampiggery even).
Uhhh.. let's see, first you need some cups. Then vanilla beans still in the sleeve. Mix cups and vanilla in a blender, add eggs and milk. Bake at 350c for 4 hours.
Removed, see the new civility guidelines.
Thanks, where can I find those guidelines?
So the thought is that it's not civil to suspect that an overly complicated and generic response, that's not quite on topic as a human might be, is AI-generated and call that out?
If so, glad you point out here, because otherwise I wouldn't naturally assume that violated a civility code.
A simple look at my history would suffice to show I'm not AI, even if you don't like what I say :P
You should see all the mistakes I make.
Edit also what ai talks about sites like mangapark stealing and collecting manga?
It's on the sidebar for the community.
It just seems to me how like LinkedIn has pages for people even though the people aren't members, they create the pages just on information they've scraped from the web to make it look like the person has an account on that site.
I don't know if that's the case with how that website works, but the description of it made it sound like that's exactly what it does.
My impression was the opposite. These were profiles deliberately setup, by people like boebert, for this "talent agency" to gain work. And the guy that runs it all had known connections to the right wing network and is essentially an Israeli mobster IIRC facilitating connections with conservative politicians and "news" networks.
That's pretty flimsy evidence. Do you have anything more concrete?
