Bayerns Ministerpräsident nahm seit seinem Amtsantritt an nur elf von 82 Sitzungen teil. Andere waren deutlich häufiger zugegen. Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder (CSU) scheint kein großes Interesse am Bundesrat zu haben. Wie alle Ministerpräsidenten ist er Mitglied der Länderkammer. Nach Informationen der Süddeutschen Zeitung gab es seit seinem Amtsantritt in der Münchner Staatskanzlei im März 2018 genau 82 Sitzungen des Bundesrats. Söder hat aber nur an elf von ihnen teilgenommen. Das Wort ergriffen hat er nur in sechs dieser Sitzungen.

Neo-Nazi in Australia faces prison in first conviction for ‘Sieg Heil’ salute
Jacob Hersant, 25, performed the nationally banned gesture six days after its criminalization. A man found guilty in Australia for violating a law passed last year prohibiting public use of the Nazi salute will go to prison for an undetermined length of time. Following his conviction on Tuesday, Jacob Hersant, 25, learned at a sentencing hearing on Wednesday that he would spend time in jail, though Magistrate Brett Sonnet still must decide for how long. The self-described neo-Nazi will remain on bail until another hearing on Nov. 8. Hersant, the first Australian convicted under the new law, said after the guilty verdict: “I do give the Nazi salute, and I am a Nazi.” He performed the gesture in front of news cameras at a Victoria County Court on Oct. 27, 2023, where he had appeared on a different charge.

Musk’s all-out crusade, from buying Twitter to actively supporting Trump
In the space of a few months, the multi-billionaire seems to have partly tied his fate, and the future of his companies such as Tesla, to the outcome of the US presidential election. “If Trump loses, I’m fucked.” With his usual blend of provocation, paranoia and candor, this is how Elon Musk summed up his situation just a few weeks before the US presidential election. In an interview with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson broadcast on Monday, October 7, his phrase illustrates the new state of affairs. Since it was bought by the billionaire in October 2022, the social media network Twitter has changed a great deal, right down to its name – now X. The multi-billionaire himself has also completed a major, highly politicized transformation: Since July, he openly supports Donald Trump. Musk’s account on X has become one of the campaign’s main mouthpieces. It’s where he delivers a daily dose of ultraconservative language and insults to Kamala Harris, who he regularly describes as an extremist or communist. Day after day, Musk also repeats a conspiracy theory claiming that the Democrats are “importing” illegal immigrants into key voting states to manipulate the elections. In yet another unusual step, Musk appeared on stage alongside Trump at a rally on October 5. In the space of a few months, Musk seems to have partly tied his fate, and the future of his companies, to the outcome of the presidential election. If Trump is elected, Musk could enjoy enhanced power

Obama Roasts Trump for Everything From Selling Bibles to Needing a Diaper at Pittsburgh Rally
Barack Obama laid into fellow former President Donald Trump so thoroughly on Thursday that more than one X user quipped, “I’d like to report a murder.“ Obama, speaking at a rally in Pittsburgh, ticked off a long list of reasons why voters should reject Trump and vote for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris next month. He disparaged “the constant attempts to sell you stuff” including gold sneakers, a $100,000 watch and the Trump Bible. “Who does that?” asked Obama with an incredulous shrug. “You know, he wants you to buy the word of God, Donald Trump edition. Got his name right there next to Matthew and Luke,” he said of Trump’s “God Bless the USA Bibles,” which, it was reported this week, were printed in China. They are priced at $59.99 each. The 44th president continued to blast the 45th, recalling his shock at finding out how much diapers cost after his oldest daughter Malia was born. “Do you think Donald Trump ever changed a diaper?,” he asked about the father of five. One attendee shouted, “His own!” Obama admitted with a laugh, “I almost said that, but I decided I should not say it.” Trump was dubbed “Diaper Don” by the media in 2020 over reports that he wore adult diapers while filming the reality competition “The Apprentice.” Trump supporters not only shrugged at the suggestion when it resurfaced during Trump’s tax fraud trial earlier this year, but proudly began wearing the absorbent underwear themselves at campaign events and carrying signs that read “real men wear diapers.”

siehe auch: Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out election. Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who are hesitating to back Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman. The striking comments by Obama, made to a small group of voters in a surprise stop at a local Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh, were part of a more forceful campaign message delivered by the former president on Thursday as polls continue to show a neck-and-neck race. At a rally in the city later that evening, Obama issued some of his most searing public criticisms of his successor to date. The lack of energy some see around Harris’ campaign, Obama first told the smaller group, “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.” “You’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody (in former president Donald Trump) who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is? Putting women down?” Obama said. “That’s not acceptable.” The problem, he suggested, was less complicated than some are making it out to be – and that it often comes down to sexism.
