Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Needledicked Nazi Once Mocked a Teen's Suicide AttemptPussy Hustler continues showing he's a New Democrat Man. Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner appeared to cruelly mock a teen's suicide attempt in a newly resurfaced Reddit post. The May 2012 Reddit thread begins with a photo of a teenage girl hanging out of an upper-story window, with a young man gripping her arms in an apparent attempt to save her, screenshots of the post showed. "A girl at my old highschool [sic] tried jumping from a window because her cousin died the day before," the post's caption read. These students saved her. I have hope." An account belonging to the Nazi-tattoo sporting Maine Senate candidate wasn't sympathetic. "Someone clearly isn't trying hard enough," a commenter using the name P-Hustle -- Platner's screen name on the platform -- wrote in response.Some might say that this is just "edgy" Reddit "humor." I'd respond that many of us have been harassed, censored, debanked, or even fired for similar edgy humor, so why does the National Socialist Shrimpdick get a pass? In another newly-unearthed Reddit post, Platner -- who had an account on the messaging app Kik which featured a half-naked photo of himself -- joked about expressing his gratitude for porn stars in military fashion. "Thank you for your cervix," he posted in 2021 in response to a user who said that adult entertainers should be thanked for their service like veterans.Good Heavens, he really is made of Reddit "jokes" and sexual battery, isn't he? Yeah I know the allegations so far are about non-sexual battery committed against women, but I imagine the sexual assault allegations are being held until (I think) July 13th, when it will no longer be legal to replace him in the race. Relatedly: The Democrats' electoral lead looks like it's experiencing shrinkage.

I really think the ME senate race is going to end up more closely reflecting 2014 than 2020.
Collins won 2014 by 40 points. She won 2020 by 8. 2020 was covid, Trump, BLM, and the height of the cheat machine. 2026, Collins is up against a dumbass merc nepo-baby fake oyster farmer and fake harbor master with a Nazi tattoo...and no Trump on the ticket.

Platner also insists that he be called an "oysterman", a term no actual oyster farmers use. Apparently there was a failed attempt to make that a thing in the mid 1930s, so I guess he gets all of his schtick from the rise of the Nazis.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 15, 2026 04:39 PM (0N4FZ) ===== GOP won 2 senate seats in 2018 with a D+9 national environment. Senate races are weird. Turnout tends to reflect partisan makeup of the state overall because the senate races drive up turnout overall, eliminating turnout differential advantages (midterms just seen out of power parties do better, not even Obama's people could reverse it). There are also candidate quality issues that play harder here. Where are the Senate races of note? OH? Deep red state. AK? Deep red state. TX? Deep red state. FL? Deep red state. ME? Long term incumbent who is actually pretty popular. Bet on Collins. GA? Went to Trump in 2024, plus DOJ focus on Fulton County. MI? If El-Sayed wins the primary...expect fun. NC? Last time Cooper won statewide, there were 400,000 more registered Dems than GOP. Now? 10,000 more GOP than Dems. He only won by 250,000 last time. And senate races tend to be more purely partisan without incumbents (think MD and Larry Hogan in 24).

🔴 Republicans: 211

Posted by: TheJamesMadison ======= The time bomb is how much Democrat voter fraud might be revealed and stopped in November. Just Scotus, which is likely to do os, forbidding counting votes past election day is likely to kill a couple of Dem House and perhaps even Senate victories. We also do not know what the effect of eliminating illegals/dead voters or discouraging them that are still on the rolls from voting will do. And events including the economy are more likely to be positive for Trump and the GOP than negative going forward for the next five months or so. Frankly I see more downsides for the Dems than upsides in the next few months, worse if the teen takeover chimpouts keep occurring and some Dems are frogmarched into criminal courts for voter fraud or Russia Russia. It also appears that the obverse of 2010 is in action--the Dems are picking the oddball DSA types while teh GOP candidates are by and large normal pols.

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel ======== That is because Mitch's scheme to sell GOP votes out to Schumer only works with tight margins in the Senate like 52-48 etc. And I think Cassidy and Cornyn losing plus others retiring like Mitch, Daines, Lummus, Ernst, etc. leaves less for Thune to work with going forward plus is a powerful discouragement to take on Trump going forward. Revenge votes will only take you so far before it starts hurting your future lobbyist career for the likes of Tillis, Cornyn, and Cassidy.

81 Tousi worth checking out right now.
Apparently things are going sideways in Iran right now. The Iranians see the agreement as a surrender now that they know what the real deal is. Do the Iranian people see it that way, or just the IRGC? Posted by: Archimedes I think everything will be garbled for awhile. The IRGC kept the internet off in Iran for along time but they finally relaxed a bit for their regime supporters. That means that the regime supporters can see online what the US is claiming and comparing it with their esteemed leaders. Cat among the pigeons that is.

a month or so ago, I recall reading the Dems needed a +10 on the generic congressional ballot to take the House.
And then a spate of polls magically came out showing the Dems had a +10 lead. Because of redistricting, the R need only 2 of the toss-ups to hold the House. A summer of "America, HELL YEAH!!" from Trump while the Dems whine "that's not inclusive enough for transexual two-spirit indigenous persons of color!!" should really help the Dems.

Start a global trade war, threaten your own allies, then start an actual war, lose the war, celebrate higher prices for everyone, and still 47.5% of the voting population supports you.
This is it, the USA is at absolute rock bottom. as a Canadian, what do the Republicans need to do to crash hard? In the span of a month, our right-wing party went from guaranteed super majority to massive loss, mainly because the leader was supporting Trump. FOX News needs to stop churning propaganda and start reporting actual news and facts. If that doesn't happen then all the morons that watch it have no idea what is really happening in the country. In 2010 GOP had a 7 point advantage that turned into a 67 House seat majority. cherry picked point. 2018 is when we really became polarized and liberals hated trump more than independents did. Turnout was also crazy. After racist Republican gerrymandering, +5% Dem is nothing. The Epstein class has already decided that what comes next is Newsom v Vance.

Posted by: Anna Puma at June 15, 2026 05:02 PM (2GVsD) Their problem is that their budget is at the limit and the only way to give money to defense is to take it away from welfare.

That probably had more to do with the collapse of the opposition's chances in Canada, the fact that they weren't really an opposition.

I'm still betting on him being guilty of murder of civilians during his employ at Blackwater.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison Perhaps, Platner is unlikely to have an upside surprise but highly likely to have a downside. But, if you want to play the game on House seats, look at the normal vote, funds raised, candidate experience, whether they represented part of the district as a state rep or senator, and whether the seat is open or not. It is hard to get reliable media polls on house districts due to difficulty in actually getting a representative sampling of the district (see the Massie race as an example). The good private surveys are really expensive and usually treated as proprietary by the campaign consultants and only trotted out at times to get donor interest if flagging. And most media polls other than Presidential races suck badly with random error accounting for actually getting numbers right and Kalshi, etc. are downstream of those polls so take any prediction market bullshit on individual races with a grain of salt until the last week or so. Posted by: whig at June 15, 2026 05:19 PM (E4rtv) 173
Plattner really is everything the left claims not to like. Its almost comical how much he aligns with the crap they throw at MAGA from being a non-gay perv, to being a NAZI, to not giving a shit about other people

If I'm being honest, I think Dems do take the House. But I think we keep the Senate.
But I'm honestly shocked we're not double digits behind in polling. This "feels" way worse than 2018 did when all dems had was "Russia" BS. I'm hoping Trump can just focus on doing everything possible to make downticket races successful for GOP.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at June 15, 2026 05:09 PM (R+iUD) ======= CA is not a good measure for what Democrats can do with vote rigging nationally. How does CA's state laws reflect the reality of how voting happens in NC or TX or ME or anywhere else that's not mail in voting only? Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 15, 2026 05:10 PM (0OHXL) I'm looking less at CA's ludicrous state laws (eg NO BAD ORANGE MAN EMPLOYEES ALLOWED TO LOOK AT OUR STUFF! SO THERE!!) and more at the brazenness (is too a word) of the CA idiots. So I am expecting at least a few cases of even more obvious thievery, but probably *not* enough to win the majority. Very very annoying though, and hopefully it will becone *entertaining* as Trump's DoJ investigates the crazies. Posted by: Helena Handbasket at June 15, 2026 05:23 PM (R+iUD) 178

The suit originally brought little fanfare with it; however, Deen's eventual deposition created a firestorm in the press.
Deen stated in her deposition that she had "of course" used the "N-word" at times. Specifically, she recalled telling her husband about an incident "when a black man burst into the bank that I was working at and put a gun to my head. ... I didn't feel real favorable towards him."

Everyone is mistaken about inflation being 4% or higher.
Inflation comes when the dollar loses value like when Biden printed money like a drunken sailor. What we have now is a commodity (Oil) that has risen which affects the price of fuel. When oil drops to $45/Barrel then there will be no more price increases. Inflation will drop to 2%. It will take about 60 days, but it will drop from the Oil Glut on the market. Trump has thought this out to time with the Midterms. Posted by: Jackson at June 15, 2026 05:34 PM (S5Tk/) 212

2018: GCB: D+7 - Results Dems +36
--- This needs and astrick. that year included: - Trump hamstrung by the Russia Collusion "investigation" We forget how insane it was. Like Schiff et al. nightly on the news saying some variation of "I have seen evidence that Trump was wittingly or unwittingly, an agent of Russia." The news was wall-to-wall with how this was another Watergate and was sure to bring down any Republican associated with Trump. This further killed any endorsement or campaigning by Trump. - 50+ House incumbents declined to seek reelection. Many of them were not just incumbents but senior members. The type that almost never lose, even in a wave election. Several of those made their announcement late in the cycle, purposefully timed to prevent any meaningful R to build a campaign.
