Democrats Meet With Nazi Feces-Fetishist Graham Platner To Ask If It's Just the Nazi Tattooo/Communism/Mockery of a Purple Heart Hero/Racism/Obsessive Sexting, Or If There's a Real Scandal Coming

Spoiler: They're sticking with the Communist Nazi serial adulterer welfare layabout aroused by the smell of human waste.


Maine Democratic Senate primary frontrunner Graham Platner is scheduled to meet with Democratic senators in Washington on Tuesday afternoon, according to two people familiar with the plans.

Why it matters: The long-planned meeting will give senators an opportunity to ask Platner directly about allegations that he sent sexually explicit text messages to as many as a dozen women in 2023, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Over the weekend, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) indicated he had questions about the allegations.

"Yes, I have concerns," Booker said on ABC News. "That guy has questions to answer. And that's what campaigns are for."

Zoom out: Democrats are increasingly concerned about Platner's viability in a must-win Senate race and whether the revelations about the text messages represent the campaign's final embarrassment -- or merely its latest.

...

State of play: Platner has disputed aspects of the reporting, but his campaign has not denied its central claim -- that he sent explicit text messages to other women after marrying in late 2023.

"Graham isn't saying the texts to other women at the start of the marriage are not real. They are," a campaign official told media outlets. "He's frustrated by the sensationalization of several private facts relayed by a former confidante to journalists."


Schumer would only say that the Democrats are going to beat Susan Collins.

"I met with Graham Platner today," Schumer told reporters at his weekly news conference. "We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."

He also re-stated his endorsement of the Nazi.

🚨 WATCH

Chuck Schumer dodges questions about Graham Platner FOUR times before doubling down on his endorsement.

SCHUMER: "Any other subject you got?"

Q: "Are you still supporting Graham Platner?"

SCHUMER: "I endorsed Graham Platner."


All the other Nazis are lining up behind their bearded beflanneled Reinhard Heydrich.

By the way, I'm not going to be covering the California mayoral and gubernatorial elections tonight. California may take weeks to " " " count " " " the " " " votes. " " " They need to figure out how many they need to manufacture and then manufacture them.

Democrats really enjoy "winning" "elections" in the 5th Quarter.

The Police-Assisted Race Murder continues to cause controversy, for some reason.

Cathy Newman, who was exposed for her low-IQ hackery by Jordan Peterson ("so you're saying women are lobsters..."), doesn't understand why anyone would feel "rage" at the murder of Henry Nowak. When asked what emotion she feels, she won't answer, and insists that she is the one doing the interviewing.

But when her interview subject makes points she doesn't want made, she repeatedly interrupts him and now changes the nature of the discussion: Now it's not that she's interviewing him, so his words should be the star. Now they're having a conversation, and she should get to make all the political points she wants to make.



Henry Nowak's father never once said "I don't want any accountability from the police or the system that caused his death" -- but the left is pretending that his single sentence about "division" means just that.

And they're pretending away the other things he said, like that it is no longer arguable that UK uses Two Tier Policing, and that that policing caused his son's death.

This "former senior police officer" named Neil Basu came out publicly in support of Black Lives Matter & said protestors were "right to be angry".

Not this time though - you're not allowed to be angry this time.

There are many such posts on Twitter, pointing out that leftists declared that it was good to be angry -- and justifiable to riot -- after George Floyd committed suicide by eating all of the drug evidence against him now saying that people just need to accept that their lives are subject to the whim of whatever orc feels aggrieved today.

44 I had to bug out and prepare lunch but I am back with a thought.

When I first heard the rivers of blood speech, I was surprised that Enoch Powell said something about how the young in England see no hope for the future and many plan to emigrate. Surprised because things were not so bad back then, but maybe in mill towns (where he was mostly talking about) it was already very bad. Many paki's imported as cheap mill labor. (the left made it all about "blacks" and the windrush 1000 or so and racism, not the 10s of thousands of pakis and cheap labor.

In grad school I knew a few expats and I was even then surprised (80s) that many said there was no future and no upward mobility in UK. To become better than what you are born, you have to emigrate.

Yesterday JJ links had an item that Britain got 1M migrants and 600K citizens leaving just last year!

Decades of that, and mostly all that are left are serfs. All is lost.

The Dems desperately need Pratt to finish third. So he and his supporters won't mercilessly continue to ridicule Bass and the LA Democrat Machine for another five months. I expect the 'official' voting results will have him finishing third. Behind Bass and the other Democrat. I will not be surprised if Bass officially gets more than 50 per percent. Then there will not be a subsequent election in November; Bass will be elected mayor in today's jungle primary. It's the safest course for the Democrats. They'll get Bass officially over 50 percent in a week or so, by hook or crook.

We could otherwise consider it the death-rattle of a party how they have a chain of incidents where they are forced into decisions.

They had to draft Biden into the race in 2020, because so many of the brand-name Dem voters didn't want anything to do with the radical side of the party that had begun to smell like bad fish. And then the rigged their party *from* having a primary doubling-down on Joe in 2024, until he utterly collapsed like we suspected he would, and then they crane-lifted Kamala who hadn't won a primary, and on and on it goes. Forced decisions and own-goals.

Now, well we have to run Platner because--vetting be fucked! And we have to have somebody with some semblance of testosterone-which again--the elite Dems pretty much despise.

Same with their gimmedat faction that is fine with white libs trooning their kids, having no kids, etc. as long as the gimmedats get their fraud from Uncle Sam.

And the cosplay college factions are a bunch of loser lunatics that want to burn everything to the ground because they have been educated beyond their native intelligence. Same with the asshole foreign college crowd, they want to bring their own country crap with them.

on Jill Biden’s book: “The most charitable interpretation particularly the parts dealing with her husband’s aging, is that she’s having difficulty accepting what’s been happening to him for years. The less forgiving version is that she’s been enabling it and is now seeking to try to find an excuse for what we all saw, while also suggesting here and there that there’s much more than maybe even she’s willing to admit to herself.”

They couldn’t get their equivalent of the Saturn V, the N1 rocket, to work. To many smaller engines, each prone to failure. They couldn’t balance the load, leading to the biggest rocket explosion in history:

We have had alcohol and learned how to deal with in society since the mists of pre history. Not really true of today's bio engineered THC products.

We are essentially running a massive natural experiment how high THC dosages affect people and so far, the data doesn't look good. Kids are getting hold of edibles, you have massive spikes in THC related poisonings in hospitals in places like Colorado, it is killing pets that end up ingesting it.

It is a societal problem that too many casual users of pot ignore in order for access to what they want.

And the whataboutism is simply boring and tedious by this time. Uneducated kids in public schools, well whatabout parents that homeschool their kids and do nothing with them---etc. etc.

We have ran unregulated THC natural experiment long enough to know that it is causing serious problems for society. We already know those relating to alcohol or even opium, not from high THC products. And we should address those problems by regulation just as we do with gas station heroin products at gas stations.

Yep. The rich get sent to dry out clinics while the poor get sent to prison from misbehaving under the influence. Poor have no insulation while money buys a lot of lawyers and the ability to payoff people rather than going to jail.

Middle class is most likely to get it from both ends, they can afford enough decadence to ruin themselves thoroughly but don't qualify for a lot of safety net benefits of the truly poor--so they often get a double whammy being launched in the street people class with little or no understanding how those worlds work.

Depends on when "back then" was. There was a lot of "back then" and part of it they drank cider, and part of it they drank ale.

Beer came first--ancient Sumer in fact as far as we know. Thence to Egypt, wine came soon if not coincident with beer as fermentation naturally happens with fruit. I think Ice Wine was the hardest liquor around until distillation was invented and then cheap enough with the advent of gin for mass drunkeness.

Ale and mead in some places plus wines. Dunno about fortified wines like port or sherry but those came along later I think when sugars were more available. Ice Wine, where you put wine out and keep taking out the ice from it in winter was probably the next jump in alcohol content.

Not disputing that beer came first. Just saying that around 1820 to 1835, there was a glut of cheap high proof whiskey that drove a lot of the increase. Per capita drinking dropped by more than half by the 1840s.

262 Okay, I did my own research. If we were to airdrop Liberty Starter Kits on Britain (formerly Great), what calibers of Freedom Seeds would be most appropriate? Obviously, you would want ones where you could get more.

Although many police in England are unarmed, what guns they have are fortunately quite standard. They use 9mm pistols, 5.56x45mm carbines, 7.62x51mm sniper rifles, and 12-gauge shotguns. Typical NATO loadout.

I was unable to get a clear answer for what might be found in a typical mosque armory, but arrest data indicates that the guns most commonly found on criminals in England and Europe are 9mm pistols, while the most commonly confiscated smuggled guns are AK-47s.

I didn't realize 9mm was such a standard for cops and criminals alike, so that makes things easier. Several companies make Pistol-Caliber Carbines that take Glock magazines, which are very common indeed, and that would add accuracy and comfort if you're not concerned with concealability. So that would be my suggestion, if we arm the Native Britons against their alien conquerors and Vichy collaborators, just go 9mm for long and hand Pew Pews alike, and with compatible magazines too.

That is a rather ignorant argument based on French philosophers--that which does not kill you makes you stronger. Most contaminants in the water were bacteria and you don't really develop bacterial resistance the same way you do for viruses. Cholera,. Typhoid,Polio, Giardia, and Hep A,and Dysentery, were common mass epidemics based on contaminated drinking water.

It would be as if you argued smoking more dope made your resistance to it higher and resulted in better health.

The key to any poison is the dose determines the effect. And THC or bacterial contaminants, just as alcohol is, are poisons of a sort.
