When You Decide Not to Report a Rape Because You Agree With Your Rapist's Politics, Congratulations, You Are Now Officially a Cultist
SensurroundPlatner is still holding on.
@ShamashAran My own deeply felt schadenfreude aside, why shouldn't Platner dig in? Micky Kaus pointed out that Platner "has the leverage. All he has to do to screw the Dem party is... nothing." And my RedState colleague Bonchie described the Left's "nuclear levels of cope" over their rapey Nazi: "He's a mentally disturbed do-nothing who works for his mom. He doesn't care about the party. Why would he? And there is no mechanism to forcibly remove him." ... Make no mistake. Democrats are the whores in the Platner story, willing to overlook a Nazi tattoo, anger management issues, credible rape allegations, public airing of sex fetishes, admissions to joining the military just so he could kill people, and more. All because they thought they finally had a workingman candidate who could beat Collins. Now Platner is haggling over the price of his withdrawal, and he has until Sunday night to bleed his party nearly dry. I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no. She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically. This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room. We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward." If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group. I hate cults. I hate them a lot. They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible. What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore. At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum. That's a spectacularly bad trade. At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

Ed Morrissey writes that Maine Democrats are wondering who foisted this Nazi Communist Rapist on the Democrat Party.
Platner and his team are using their leverage to force the Maine Democratic Party to allow him to hand-pick his successor, as the New York Post reported yesterday based on anonymous sourcing. The Maine Democratic Party confirmed it last night in a video statement from its executive director. In a declaration drenched in irony, Devon Murphy-Anderson pledged "integrity" in the process to dump the violent Nazi-tatted Kik creeper its voters elected. She then huffed about how Platner was forcing himself on the party's processes, apparently clueless to the parallels that created the crisis:Why does the Nazi Communist we elected to be our candidate knowing he was a Nazi Communist believe he has any power to determine who the candidate is?! Who's responsible for electing this Nazi Communist?! Democrats are doing everything to find out who drove this Hot Dog Car through the window!
She added: "The integrity of this process is just as important as the outcome, and we are committed to ensuring that Democrats across our state can have confidence in both." As Murphy-Anderson went on, she accused Platner's team of "repeatedly" reaching out to them "in an attempt to put their thumb on the scale" to influence what the process looks like. "We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, nor in determining what this process looks like," she noted. "We have also reiterated that Graham Platner must drop out of this race so that Democrats in Maine can focus on defeating Susan Collins this November."
Platner, forcing himself on unwilling partners? Gee, what a shock! Unfortunately for Maine Democrats, Platner has all the leverage in this situation, as I explained yesterday and David will discuss next. Maine does not allow a political party to remove a nominee once he or she has won the primary. The only way that Murphy-Anderson and her organization can have a "process," let alone one with "integrity," is for Platner to voluntarily withdraw before the July 13 deadline. Maine Democrats had months to get Platner out of the primary after the news of his Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo went public in October, along with his posts on Reddit and other platforms suggesting that women bore responsibility for being raped.
At which point the resanitization begins. Again. Consider it like the routine pumping out of a portapotty. https://t.co/ffFnjUI0NE

Bravo Sen. Fetterman for saying this. Bernie Sanders has a long track record of endorsing dirtbags:
— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) July 7, 2026
Graham Platner: rapist & Nazi Hamas supporter
Abdul El-Sayed: terror supporter
Adam Hamawy: literal terrorist
Melat Kiros: terror supporter
Andrew Gillum: crystal meth &… https://t.co/rBlLQDZyw2
Sen. John Fetterman is not feeling the Bern. The Pennsylvania Democrat torched socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Monday night for promoting disgraced Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner despite clear signs that he was a "predator." "I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone," Fetterman told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" hours after former Platner girlfriend Jenny Racicot claimed that he broke into her home and raped her in 2021. Fetterman specified that Sanders should "apologize to the victims, especially the woman that -- she claimed that he raped her."Lumpy Jack doesn't play.
"I don't know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people," he added of Sanders. "Maybe he should consider [sitting] a few out and stop pushing these kind of communists." "I know Democrats that have, you know, back-to-back endorsed and got all in on [disgraced former Rep. Eric] Swalwell and were on the Platner train as well, too," Fetterman went on. "So, maybe stop, you know, getting [in] bed with absolute dirt bags, someone like Platner." Sanders had been among Platner's earliest backers, endorsing him in August of last year, shortly after Platner launched what appeared to be a long shot campaign.
As of Tuesday morning, Sanders had yet to join other Democrats -- including his fellow progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) -- in rescinding his endorsement. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post. "I'm sure he's not a saint," Sanders told CNN last month after another former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, accused Platner of physical abuse. "He went through some very bloody and horrible situations," Sanders went on. "He has acknowledged that he came back with PTSD. He's had his share of problems."

Timely post, I just read this gem at the Atlantic:
"With Graham Platner, Democrats Got Drunk on the Beer Test
BY JONATHAN CHAIT
Last September, the progressive strategist Morris Katz confessed to The New Yorker that the process by which he decided that Graham Platner was qualified to run for U.S. Senate required less time than drinking a cup of coffee. Actually, it seems to have been less a confession than a boast. “Within a few minutes of talking to him, I was, like, ‘This guy owes it to the country to run for Senate,’” Katz recalled.
In the 10 months that have followed, a procession of unflattering stories have made clear how dreadfully irresponsible it was for Democrats to entrust the task of flipping what seems like the most necessary seat to secure their potential Senate majority to a man who had never run for office or led an organization of any size.
...There is no longer much question as to whether Platner is suitable for public office, and even less question as to whether plucking him from political obscurity made any sense. A more pertinent question is: What could possibly drive a professional political strategist to support such a rapid promotion in mere minutes?"

He can't. Maine polling has been double-digit points inaccurate in the Dems' favor against Susan Collins since Helen Thomas was born. The fact that the Dems turned on him means their internal numbers are catastrophic.

1) Hey how come all these news sources I trust print exactly the same story with the same quotes at the same time in lockstep?!?
2) But but Trump is worse!
3) #ImwithPlatner - screw lying Jewish b*tches
4) We all knew Platner was a Republican plant I mean look at him...he's obviously a Republican
5) All men are like this which is why only women should be allowed to run for office!

I think she wanted a clean way to get it out there that she is a leftard, and what's more STILL a leftard.
It's not that I don't believe people especially leftards can be that partisan - there is not a shred of doubt in my mind they can and it's sad - BUT we have to allow for the fact that she or someone wanted that in the story and announcing it through her victimhood is the cleanest way to do it.

Plan A was Janet Mills. That's why Schumer recruited her personally.
The DSA just flexed their muscles and recruited Platner instead, and his combination of brain-dead oligarchy talk, Nazi tattoo, and sexual assault allegations were just what Democrat voters actually wanted.

Also don't forget the delay and specifically the timing was ALWAYS going to be a question.
Announcing that she agrees with him politically and that's why she hesitated is a great way to put a bow around it with a "please don't question any of this".

Platner lost every endorser, lost the DSCC, lost the party, but still holds the one card nobody else can play. Five days left and he’s using it to negotiate.
In the general election Republicans are going to play the "democrats hate democracy" card if and when they replace him, since he won the primary.
the party is trying to figure out how best to play this given the backlash with Harris. I'm betting the other primary candidates are all making their cases.
It's gotta be Troy Jackson. My understanding is he polled just behind Platner and shares most of the same policies, so it'd be sort of a runner-up situation. I think that's the only chance they have at selling someone to voters
Maine had an election. Second place was Janet Mills. First place dropped out. Seems obvious Mills should be it right? The voters spoke.
The irony is Collins gets a pass having voted to confirm an accused sexual assaulter in Kavanaugh and RFK and usually votes with an adhjucated rapist and accused pedophile in Trump.
When they say both parties are the same, point to Platner and Cuomo getting dumped by the party while Trump is still their Dear Leader.

Fetterman follows in the shoes of Bob Dole.
Bob Dole would often tell a story of his journey into politics.
It goes that he was in WWII and sustained a head injury and then went into politics.
John Fetterman was PA Lt-Governor, ran for Senate, sustain brain damage due to stroke and then began to see politics clearly.

The only reason there's any sort of anguish on the left with Platner is because he's telling everyone exactly what the left is all about, what they intend to implement socially and if you don't like it we'll kill you.
That's it.
That's what the left is upsent with Platner about.

Platner is a disgusting piece of shit.
Run Platner, run! Be the standard bearer of the modern Democrat Party! You got this!!!!!
So...anyone want breakfast tacos? I'm making breakfast tacos for lunch.

Maybe Platner should insist on the rape victim being the replacement.
He gets feelz and chance for "redemption" and Maine gets a Senator with Platner's politics.

47 Which option is the best-case scenario for us?
a. Platner hangs on, doesn't drop out, gets demolished in the general election, we keep the Senate.
b. Platner gets forced out, some rando takes his place, gets demolished in the general election, we keep the Senate.
c. Platner hangs on, doesn't drop out, but WINS the general election, and in so doing destroys the Democratic Party brand for at least a generation.

Platner waits until Wednesday, past the deadline, and then drops out.
He then goes on a DSA funded tour to argue that the Democrat Party doesn't care about its voters.

Ace is correct, it's a cult... of personality. Democrats crave to find someone charming and flattering, so they can charm the rubes into progressivism. They hyperfocus on this, they are all in.
They keep hoping to find the next working class blue collar Bubba or Obama. Instead they found a Nazi tattoo sporting, toxic make poser. Or as Elizabeth Warren called him, "my kinda man."

I liked PowerLine's suggestion:
"Meanwhile, Platner has another option. Some have pointed out that the prediction markets have it 98-1 that he will resign from the Democratic ticket. That means that all Platner has to do is wager everything he owns on his own staying in the race, and then do so. He will go down to a humiliating defeat, but become a wealthy man."

During Occupy Wall Street, numerous women were sexually assaulted. It was so prevalent the organizers appointed coordinators within weeks of the event starting to "handle" the matters, by which they would pressure the women to not make complaints to the police because it would "hurt the cause".

Platner can see how the Democrat Party has treated Biden in the aftermath of his forced stepping down in 2024.
He can't raise money for his presidential library, and the party essentially acts like his presidency didn't happen in messaging.
What promise could the party make to Platner that he'd believe in the aftermath of their treatment of Biden? Especially if the DSA that backs Platner and orchestrated his rise isn't going to back off from support of him and is the rising force within the party anyway?

Democrats needed Platner out not because he was going to lose, but because he was becoming a liability on other races.
And I don't mean the rape, the Nazi-loving, the perversion, and the rape:
I mean that he was forcing other Dems to openly state their true beliefs.
They need Cooper and Osoff to be able to mouth the comforting lies of centrism.
Not fending off loyalty pledges from the radical left.

-- Said nothing to nobody until years after the fact
-- Only comes forward at exactly the time the Dumocrap establishment (Dumme?) needs to get rid of a toxic clown
-- Then, in an attempt to excuse the clearly suspicious delay in telling anyone about the "rape," she makes the comically absurd claim that she didn't report it because ... she agrees with her rapist's political views.

Democrats needed Platner out not because he was going to lose, but because he was becoming a liability on other races.
And I don't mean the rape, the Nazi-loving, the perversion, and the rape:
I mean that he was forcing other Dems to openly state their true beliefs.
They need Cooper and Osoff to be able to mouth the comforting lies of centrism.
Not fending off loyalty pledges from the radical left.

But she only came forward because the D party wanted her to come forward NOW to get Platner out. - this is just like Swalwell. And if Platner does what they want the story will just disappear...
I suspect a significant portion of male Dem office holders have a woman they've forced themselves on at some point.

Platner can see how the Democrat Party has treated Biden in the aftermath of his forced stepping down in 2024.
He can't raise money for his presidential library, and the party essentially acts like his presidency didn't happen in messaging.

65 During Occupy Wall Street, numerous women were sexually assaulted. It was so prevalent the organizers appointed coordinators within weeks of the event starting to "handle" the matters, by which they would pressure the women to not make complaints to the police because it would "hurt the cause".
This is nothing new for progs.
Posted by: Penfold
There are a couple of jaw-dropping documentaries about the Burning Man festival in Nevada, focusing on the "medical teams" that cover up the frequent rapes and sex assaults that happen there every year. They have staff training sessions on how to keep the police out. Then there are hours of video of the commie feminist enforcers doing everything possible to keep the police away from the victim while simultaneously brainwashing her to not report the rape. Meanwhile, the rapists are free to continue raping-- in fact, they know ahead of time that they will be protected like this, which is why they are all drawn to Burning Man in the first place. It has essentially became a "Free Rape Zone."
The Democrats are trying to make all of America a Free Rape Zone.

Mike Nutter would be a great national-level candidate for them, but he never gets out of the back rooms for some reason. He was a great mayor here.

Go Team Blue.
But the 40% of the Maine electorate that are registered independents? Well, it's going to make retaining ME-01 a lot harder, so there's a lost House seat in a razor-thin overall House contest.
And it can be used in places like NC to peel off a few thousand soft-Democrat partisans in targeted ads.
The DNC really wants Platner gone.
The problem is that Maine Democrat voters (72% of them) decided, after learning about his Nazi tattoo and his sexual assault of a Republican woman, that he was their bag, baby.

Interestingly my neighbors - who are big Maine Democrat movers and shakers - who held multiple fundraisers at their $4.2m house - never put up a Platner sign after the primary.
Just a Pingree (nepo baby) for governor sign.

-- Said nothing to nobody until years after the fact
-- Only comes forward at exactly the time the Dumocrap establishment (Dumme?) needs to get rid of a toxic clown
-- Then, in an attempt to excuse the clearly suspicious delay in telling anyone about the "rape," she makes the comically absurd claim that she didn't report it because ... she agrees with her rapist's political views.

1. She provided plenty of written evidence from the time of the break in and rape.
2. She immediately broke off her previous relationship, she says. Do you know different?
3. She told exactly the same story to the NYT when they were researching their catch-and-kill story on Lyndsey Fifield, and the NYT deep-sixed it.
The Democrat poobahs revived this story because Platner is going to lose and they want to get rid of him while they can. That's the "op", and having Fake Jake do the interview is the tip-off.

I read a book once; I believe the title was "A Glimpse of Stocking". Basically a smut book.
Anyway one of the (evil) female characters hatched a plan to bring down some (married) man she wanted gone. She and him got into an affair; and she introduced BDSM into the relationship. Rape play.
The last time she ran the cameras and started acting up as usual, so the guy did what he expected to be doing. Then the woman sent the video to the guy's family. Actually the scene is pretty awful; it starts with a copy of the rape scene and then cuts to the guy's family watching the scene.
The guy took the short way out.

But then he mentally came back from that with some top notch form and plays behind the plate with a picture perfect need slide and toss to pitcher backup on a WP, and a 1-2-3 double play. Only 3 more games this week.
Little had a rough night, mentally, after getting two questionable calls at bat for a looking strikeout, followed by an E on a textbook second base field chance. Otherwise, he was doing great, getting two assists (2nd and pitcher), 1 PF as pitcher, and three scoreless innings to close out the game at 7-4 in the top of the 6th with a 4-6-3 double play. Although, he didn't get any Ks, they got a lot of weak hits, ground outs, and fly outs.
This was the same team that had, four weeks prior, rung him up for 6 runs, including 2 HRs. He was super nervous.

What promise could the party make to Platner that he'd believe in the aftermath of their treatment of Biden? Especially if the DSA that backs Platner and orchestrated his rise isn't going to back off from support of him and is the rising force within the party anyway?
---
Especially if, should he resign, it's an admission that he did in fact rape her.
So what is the carrot the party has that makes the stick sting less?
None.
The Dems don't have the juice like they used to.
They have no leverage over Palnter.
They can't offer him a book tour, a fellowship, a board position.
He has all the money his ambition ever wanted.
The only thing he wants is the one thing they can't afford:
Prestige.

On July 4, L’Osservatore Romano – the official newspaper of the Holy See – published an article by split-tongued Italian theologian Marinella Perroni, according to whom in the Genesis narrative there is no trace of either the devil or original sin in the sense in which Christian Tradition has interpreted them. On the contrary, Perroni contends, the original text describes the “relationship between God and humanity” rather than the action of Satan or a doctrine of inherited guilt.

I know you all know this..but, a vast majority of those touting Socialism on the Left haven't a clue. Platner is a gift. He sports a Nazi tattoo, and champions Socialism. How is this not being exploited from the rooftops. As in:
"Hey, stupid young generation of indoctrinated Know-It-Alls....Look....look closely. There is a man with an honest to God, dyed in the wool NAZI tattoo. He is ALSO a self-proclaimed Socialist, just like you claim to be. NAZI is an abbreviation of Nationalsozialist (National Socialist). DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Nod if this is getting through. Raise an eyebrow. Do something to assure me that you understand."

Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was spared from prison Wednesday for ushering a Mexican defendant out of her courtroom to evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. A federal judge fined her $5,000 and cited her otherwise law-abiding life in issuing the sentence. “I think this is a situation where an otherwise good person, upset by immigration policies in this country, made a bad decision in the moment,” U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman said.

1. She provided plenty of written evidence from the time of the break in and rape.
2. She immediately broke off her previous relationship, she says. Do you know different?
3. She told exactly the same story to the NYT when they were researching their catch-and-kill story on Lyndsey Fifield, and the NYT deep-sixed it.
The Democrat poobahs revived this story because Platner is going to lose and they want to get rid of him while they can. That's the "op", and having Fake Jake do the interview is the tip-off.

"Racicot said she later deleted all her texts and social media correspondence with Platner as she tried to move on from the assault, and said she has not been able to recover the Instagram messages she sent him about the incident."
Oh come on.
2. She has been vague about an "on-again, off-again" relationship with the Nazi and exactly when she cut it off after the alleged rape.
=====================
1. She provided plenty of written evidence from the time of the break in and rape.
2. She immediately broke off her previous relationship, she says. Do you know different?
3. She told exactly the same story to the NYT when they were researching their catch-and-kill story on Lyndsey Fifield, and the NYT deep-sixed it.
The Democrat poobahs revived this story because Platner is going to lose and they want to get rid of him while they can. That's the "op", and having Fake Jake do the interview is the tip-off.

167 I keep seeing this statistic, but I've never seen anything to back up that these Registered Independents are anything other than how Bernie Sanders is also an "Independent."
My guess is that 90% of that 40% votes D in every general election. The best you could do is get them to stay home, but they will probably still vote for the Nazi Sex Pest.

The point is that they're less overtly tied to the Democrat party in partisan terms, signalling an independent streak that will allow them to break from the party.
You know...how Collins keeps winning re-election. She appeals to them.
There will be a percentage that are Democrat partisans anyway (and a smaller slice, probably, who are Republican partisans), who vote for the party in every election. But registered independents are materially different from something like "self-identified independents" as indicated in polling.
They do have generalized more independent streaks than those who register for actual parties.
The overall trend varies from state to state (NC independents lean to the right, for instance).

Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was spared from prison Wednesday for ushering a Mexican defendant out of her courtroom to evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. A federal judge fined her $5,000 and cited her otherwise law-abiding life in issuing the sentence. “I think this is a situation where an otherwise good person, upset by immigration policies in this country, made a bad decision in the moment,” U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman said.

> bonhomme, there's not much point preserving the SITE. The site is just some field they dumped extra corpses in. Alfred was supposed to be buried in a Catholic abbey but you know what Henry VIII did to the abbeys.
I assumed there was some sort of crypt or vault. If it's just a pauper's grave or mass burial site, then sure. Dig him up and move him to a nice historical site with strong connections to him.

Years ago, a Leftist woman from a prominent family in Portland was at one of Portland's elite private clubs, and accepted an invitation from two men to go to a strip club, and from there went to a house and had sex with one of the men while the other watched.
She then decided that she had been sexually assaulted, but told the guy that she wouldn't press charges so long as he didn't run for public office (he was a fairly prominent Leftist).
Several years later, he did decide to run for public office, and her family put pressure on the DA to charge him.
Guess what - he was acquitted.
She was really upset.

They would try, but Collins (only federally elected Republican left in New England, probably because she's really nice and doesn't play dirty) and the RNC would fight it in federal court.
Clear letter of the law would eventually mean (some district court judge would rule badly, but appeals would do the right thing) no Democrat on the ballot.

The Democrats want to support an Independent because the brand of the party is trash in Montana, but there's a woman who successfully registered to run as a Democrat.
They might have better luck in Nebraska. I hear they were successful in keeping anyone who mattered off their ticket, instead running a ringer as an "Independent". "Independent" like Angus King is "Independent".

When the locals can't get ahold of Beijing, opening the flood gates gets delayed.
Similar to someone on Maui trying to call a bureaucrat in Honolulu on a Sunday morning trying to get permission to refill a water tank that had been drained to fight a fire. (The bureaucrat said no, because it would violate Native Hawaiian water rights.)
Lahaina then burned down.

Fun thing about Tom Cotton, before he ran for office he was a combat solider in the WoT.
He wrote a series of editorials arguing that American soldiers were generally in favor of the WoT but wanted to win it and no longer be hamstrung.
The FNM flat out claimed he was a fake, some Republican chickenhawk pretending to be a vet.
And this lasted until AFTER he started his campaign for Senate...

"Chao finally broke her silence through a spokesperson on Tuesday, July 7, in a statement to multiple outlets, including Louisville CBS affiliate WLKY and The Daily Beast.
A spokesperson for Chao told those news organizations in a statement that “the secretary was on a long-planned trip in China to support her family’s philanthropic endeavors.”
“During the trip, she met with a number of people, including the US ambassador,” the statement said. “The Senator’s health did not warrant an immediate return to the US.
According to The Daily Beast, Chao is now back in the United States, but her spokesperson did not disclose what day she returned or whether she was with her husband the day he was hospitalized."

But she also is seemingly smart enough to not invest a whole lot of energy in a race that was most likely going to be a loss anyway.
