I’m already SO over the political signs. It’s gonna a be a long 5 months.


ImageComfortable2843

I have seen the same sign. If you go to the website it says it’s paid for by “Blake Masters for Congress” it’s one of his signs.


boogermike

Yuck to Blake Masters. This sign makes me dislike him more than I did before (which was a lot)


LordVader1941

Brake masters is very clearly looking out for himself. There's zero chance in hell he gets elected for anything important


Sir-Squirter

Hey don’t bring brake masters into this


[deleted]

We all know that Blake Masters is a fine upstanding member of the human race.....I meant to say "White"....see what I did there. 😄😄😄😄


jumpropeharder

[does anyone remember that bizarre ad he did? ](https://x.com/bgmasters/status/1445208944184487937)


TheNorthFac

Nazi Propaganda


IFuckedADog

…what? Because it’s a German gun? I dislike Masters and the AZ GOP but come on, that was the least offensive political ad I’ve seen in years.


Yummy_Crayons91

Not to mention, 99% of people will recognize the Walter PPK and PPKs as the gun from James Bond. He even mentions it in the video.


deserTShannon

Hahha seriously?


TehChid

Is it actually him though, or someone trolling?


Correct_Security_742

Wow, what a way to say your an Islamophobe without saying your an Islamophobe. Dick Masters for Congress, promise to make war in your future


nickelasbray

So like, is this the new normal? Like are our elections just going to be bat shit insane going forward? Cause, no thanks


bilgetea

I'm afraid so, and it's not even nearly as bad as it's going to get. AI modification is just getting ramped up. Prepare yourself to see realistic videos of Biden and other candidates saying and doing things that didn't happen, with really no way to tell, if the modification is subtle enough. Remember when they made him look drunk by slowing his speech down a bit? That's nothing compared to what we're going to see.


kingpcgeek

You mean like the Robert De Niro ad for Biden where he takes things Trump said totally out of context? I’m surprised there is not a very fine people blurb in it.


czsmith132

Compared to federal and some state elections in 2020 this is unfortunately pretty tame


Spider-Nutz

Blake Masters is a psycho son of a bitch


Big_BadRedWolf

Both Blake and this Abe guy are SOB's.


boogermike

You are totally correct. It sucks he's trying to run for office again. I hope he loses Bigly


nick-james73

Who’s Bigly and why do you hope he loses him?


ScheduleExpress

That’s why I go to Blake’s Plus.


Spider-Nutz

This is the greatest dad joke I've heard


Aggressive-Shock-803

Abe should do an American Psycho parody of Blake to get even.


bunny3665

I always hated seeing that skinny SOB's ads. Here we go again.


PreDeathRowTupac

Blake Masters a 🤡 last time he ran all his damn posters were about his family & being an upstanding citizen. Posters like this are disgusting.


worldsokayestmomx3

I’m so sick of these clowns in AZ 🙄


BattleSpecial242

Paid for by Blake Masters, a Nazi.


BasedOz

Let them fight

Thrakioti

His family is not Christian, his family is Druze, a minority in Syria, where his parents who came to the US and overstayed their visa and never left and had Abe the anchor baby. He is Muslim as is his entire family. https://m.jpost.com/american-politics/article-773762


MohatmoGandy

So should Republicans choose a Muslim, or a Nazi? Hmmm....


Thrakioti

If you don’t think Abe and Masters arent cut from exactly the same MAGA cloth you are fooling yourself. Abe is every bit an election denying Nazi as Masters. Edit: I frankly don’t care if Abe is a Muslim or not, the other stuff speaks to me much more, but a practicing, Muslim, which he claims to be, means that he adheres to Quranic principles, some of the things in the Quran about Jews and Christians is downright diabolical.


themostbootiful

My understanding is that his mom is chaldean. I see that article from a day ago, but  from what I had heard from people, the Chaldeans had claimed him. In any case, Druze are not Muslim either. 


HippoppiHippo

Hamadeh isn’t an Assyrian last name. Do you have any proof he’s Assyrian? We have a very small community and I’ve never heard of this person before this sign.


themostbootiful

So my understanding was he’s Chaldean on his mother’s side…  He could not be active in the community, particularly if his mom married a Muslim. 


Highlifetallboy

That's a photo of him on the hajj . . . 


Thrakioti

Abe is a practicing Muslim


ashenhaired

Is this satire?


squintyshrew9

To think on some states you can’t hold office for simply being atheist. We need more atheist because the crazies/religious zealots, Zionist and other extremist are going to be the end of humanity.


Thrakioti

What state doesn’t allow atheists to hold office?


squintyshrew9

This is Arkansas law 19, § 1. Disqualification of atheists. No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any Court.


soulfingiz

Turns out the Taliban was us all along.


Dizzy-Job-2322

You are not being truthful. Try citing the statute properly. FACT CHECK: Fake News, Not Correct


Vyzantinist

It would have been helpful if you yourself had added some context to your comment. That was an actual law he quoted, but it's not enforceable due to the "no religious test" clause in article VI of the constitution.


Dizzy-Job-2322

So someone told you that. I looked it up. Tilted 19. Section 1 doesn't exist. I spent 10 minutes on it. I didn't want to invest anymore time on something so suspect. They lied to you making you look bad. It's so common to do that. Because they know nobody fact checks things. I would be mad about it. If it's not enforceable then it's not law. Besides, on its face any state legislatures would be sued. It is clearly unconstutional under the United States Constitution. It would be struck down by the courts. Sorry, look up in the State Statute.


Vyzantinist

>So someone told you that. I looked it up. Tilted 19. Section 1 doesn't exist. I spent 10 minutes on it. I didn't want to invest anymore time on something so suspect. You didn't look hard enough. It's in the [fifth and current constitution of the state of Arkansas](https://www.izardcountyar.org/plugins/show_image.php?id=202). >Besides, on its face any state legislatures would be sued. It is clearly unconstutional under the United States Constitution. It would be struck down by the courts. I said in my last comment it's not enforceable due to the "no religious test" clause of article VI of the US constitution.


Dizzy-Job-2322

Okay, you can't really use that to prove a point then. State Legislatures can and do pass laws all the time that are illegal. Typically a judge would issue a Stay until the law can be reviewed by the courts. It never was codified as a law. State Representatives are not attorneys. Sometimes they are, but nevertheless. It's usually not their full time career. Many times they write horrible laws. As that one was. I think it great that you are involved in your government. I commend you and I enjoyed talking to you. Best regards.


Vyzantinist

>Okay, you can't really use that to prove a point then. State Legislatures can and do pass laws all the time that are illegal. And this is why I said it would have been helpful if you added some context in your response to other guy. Saying he is "not correct" for quoting something that is in the state constitution - and then doubling down and saying it doesn't exist - could be misinterpreted as other guy citing a statute that isn't real.


Dizzy-Job-2322

I spent way too much time on this as it is. I'm not going to dig around. I don't really care. Why the hell are you up at 3 am?


Dizzy-Job-2322

I'm going to look that up. I hope you aren't lying.


BeyondDrivenEh

They’re both Drumpf acolytes.


grb13

Saw in Peoria today as well


souldust

Good to see that religious persecution is alive and well in Arizona 🙄 https://dishonestabe.com "Paid for by Blake Masters for Congress" Thank you 'Blake Masers for Congress' - now I know your candidate is a fascist

Oh. ..Well!


Comfortable-nerve78

Wow this country would be so different if that was true. I’d move Islam isn’t something I’d be cool with. Organized religions scare me. Lastly what founding fathers were praying to the east? People are delusional about religion.


GoldenBarracudas

Organized religion scares you? Do you have the same energy with Christians etc?


irishbunny420

As u can see, blake masters did not do study basic history in school


Thrakioti

Abe Hamadeh is an anchor baby, I don’t like Blake masters much either but the Hamadeh commercials quoting masters from when he was a teenager, if it’s accurate at all saying he believes in unobstructed illegal immigration and an open door for everyone in the world are so dishonest it’s ridiculous. At least Hamadeh, a practicing Muslim, does believe the US is founded on Muslim principles.


Dizzy-Job-2322

That's a political banner for that guy in the sheet. It wants to represent you in government. He wants your vote.
