In a lengthy statement, Graham Platner says he’s dropping out, but he spends a good deal of time talking about “the forces” that have been working to take him out.
The fact that the the Nazi tatoo wasn’t a deal breaker at the outset, tells us all we need to know about the soulless, power at any cost Democrat party.
And from the same people who told us the OK sign and phrases like “It’s okay to be white” and “All lives matter” were infallible signs of Nazi racists. The SPLC and the ADL said so, and they’re the experts, right? The FBI, the NGOs, and tech giants went on a witch-hunt in the Biden years against anything they considered “hate speech.” Now they make excuses because of the huge authoritarian threat of… Susan Collins!
Someone on a Reddit forum posted a photo of a random guy on a motorcycle in rural flyover country wearing an SS t-shirt. This brought the typical outrage and calls for violence. I tried to, perhaps clumsily, contrast this to one of the bright stars of the Democratic party who openly, and proudly, displayed a Nazi tattoo. I noted that people, especially on the far Left, had little to say about Platner and engaged in plenty of hand-wringing when the topic of his tattoo was brought up.
Of course, I was rapidly down-voted.
The reaction to Trump's rise was to take the moral high ground ("In this house," et al.), but it has been a lie and nakedly hypocritical. I'm sick of it all.
Platner had a scandal which resulted in slipping polls. Repubs don't care anything about candidates who sexually assault women; just look at Trump and Hegseth.
Hegseth also has questionable tattoos like a "Jerusalem cross" on his chest which is a christian symbol which has been adopted by extremist groups, including white supremacist movements. His arm tattoo "Deus Vult" is a Latin phrase meaning "God Wills It," and was a rallying cry for Christian crusaders in the Middle Ages, has also been adopted by white supremacists.
Hegseth has demonstrated his white supremacy by white washing the Pentagon database, some of which was restored after a public outcry. He has systematically removed high-ranking women and Black officers from military promotion lists.
There is nothing manly about the giant toddler. First he apologized ("I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize") , then dismissed it as "locker room talk", deflected it by bringing up the sexual abuse allegations of Clinton (remember the debate where he brought accusers Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Kathy Shelton) and then denied all the allegations by multiple victims who came forward. Has he released the full Epstein tapes yet?
You just revealed yourself to be the lying troll that you are. This is your reflexive position as a lefty. It used to just be to call us racist. Now you bring up Epstein. When you bring up Epstein you reveal yourself as the insufferable liar that you are.
Denying and fighting against accusations that are untrue is manly. Cowering like a bitch with a nazi tattoo isn't. Platner is slinking away not because of #MeToo, they didn't give a shit, not because he's a white supremacist and fraud, he's slinking away because the money spigot has been turned off.
When you have no argument, trott out Epstein. Another flop that only embarrassed dems and their sleazy supporters.
What did Trump do first? He was so desperate that he APOLOGIZED (the only time that has ever happened) admitting it was TRUE. Then he did other things to distract. Epstein and all his friends & followers are the sleaziest people ever.
Yes, it is as he has been busy making himself appear insane and the US look foolish on the world stage. After killing Iran's leaders en masse, last month he said of the new ones, “And we’re dealing with people that I think are very rational people. They were nice to deal with. They were strong people, smart people (his HIGHEST possible compliment). At the NATO summit he makes helpful comments likes, They’re scum, they’re sick people, they’re led by sick people, and they’re vicious, violent people." He Trump pointed to Zelenskyy and asked if reporters had any questions for “President Putin”, mentioned the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and started a stupid feuds with Italy & Spain.
JJoshua you nailed it. That is what struck me about Sasha's post. The problem with politics is that normal people won't get involved anymore. It is filled with abnormal people. Filled. I guess that's why the media won't "take these people down". They thrive on the abnormality.
You can’t perform a rape without your member being in an aroused state. So in his burglar rape scenario, he says it is not about being gay, but about overpowering and dominating/humiliating him. Clearly he is aroused by this power dynamic so he certainly would feel the same arousal (if not stronger) with a woman. This would lead me to believe every woman’s accusations against him, especially if he was drunk.
I'm sorry, but if you can watch this man speak for 5 minutes, even without knowing all the dirt on him, and not be immediately repulsed, I simply don't know how to co-exist with you. You are retarded.
That's a note to my fellow Americans in general. Not anybody here.
Steven, try this one instead. It’s Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner saying nearly the exact same words (and exact same message) in the days before they both pulled out of D campaigns. D-playbook right here:
Platner, the oyster man with the walrus face, Nazi tattoo, raping his way across the state of Maine, had to blame everyone else except himself for his failure. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see the Democrat party is the political party of the mentally ill.
Okay, I made it two minutes into his video. He is disgusting. And if everything he says is true, a guy with real balls would just stay in the race and prove them to be corrupt and evil, as he says. Seems more likely he just really is a low-life scumbag. Good riddance
Well we have seen how the deep state finds women to falsely accuse of rape when they can’t get dirt on someone who is clean (E.J.Carrol) so it’s still possible he’s telling the truth and they really did have this in the chamber ready to go since they destigmatized his Nazi tat, and his gross online posting, AND his foray on a predatory site for younger kids and adults. They needed the rape cards and they had them lined up and ready to go.
Swalwell was easy because he was weak and a pig already, so they just had to collect his grotesque mistakes along the way in case they were ever needed - they were.
But I will never doubt their tenacity to fabricate an accusation when needed.
Still, even if he didn’t rape anyone all the other stuff about him is gross, deeply disturbing, and unworthy of leadership.
You're a better man than I am Gunga Din! If I want to interact with a POS, I'll go to the little room down the hall, light a few candles and have a seance with last night's supper. :-)
Does he also deny writing those sexual emails to other women while married to his wife? Gosh, What kind of fun things might he have done if he became the Gov? He needs to take responsibility for his own actions and realize that HE is the person responsible for his political demise.
My take is that the Democratic Party has learned NOTHING since its manipulation of the 2024 election primary process, giving the nomination to Kamala Harris without a vote, and focusing on personality over policy to run the election. Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, Chuck and Hakeem and all the other Congressional henchman, who ignored the post-election analysis of their 2024 election loss, are once again making all the same mistakes. The GOP should be thankful the Dems are giving them this present. Trump felt it was essential to engage a new war at just the wrong time, a few months before the mid-term elections, and is now stuck since the Iranian IRGC know the same thing and are playing Trump who is stuck. The RNC should send a big gift basket to the DNC tomorrow
I had a bit of a front row seat to the Democrat's Presidential primary process when I lived in Iowa, and IMO the only 'clean' primary the Democrats have run since 1976 was probably 1992 not counting re nominating Clinton and Obama or bowing to the inevitable in 2008. As soon as Carter stunk up the joint by losing to Reagan after a single term they started jacking with the caucus rules to make sure an outsider like Carter didn't do well. From there they progressed to stage-managing the entrance and exit of various candidates to clear the lane for the favored choice, culminating in adopting a nominee in 2024 who hadn't won a single primary vote over two election cycles.
That sort of manipulation could work in the old days, but not with wokeness. When racial and gender “equity” are the standards, when masculinity is “toxic,” it culminates in politically correct DEI losers like Harris. She checked off the boxes for the DNC, and they thought they could sell her to voters, but she was a product manufactured for politics, not someone with an organic following.
And now the Democrats are trying to manufacture "authentic" candidates. I mean, how dense can you get, not really understanding the term "authentic" and why people are attracted to that versus fake. For better or worse (Matt Gaetz, MTG) the GOP runs authentic people. I can't even think of one fake GOP Congressperson. You know who showed themselves to be fake on the right? Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Both will do anything for a click, just like Democrats
I agree Brian...this guy Platner is so weird...who would vote for him?
And Elizabeth Warren's statement, "My kind of man" just further adds to her incredible, misguided, embarrassing persona that we all can see (except for voters in Massachusetts that is...who must be brain dead)
I'm surprised that the Dems can't find another female former armed services member to run...like Tammy Duckworth, Mikie Sherrill, Rebecca Bennett, Maggie Goodlander et all. The "armed services veteran" moniker gives them instant credibility and "authenticity".
Military service is something, a starting point, but no guarantee of authenticity or good personal qualities and ethics. There are plenty of examples of military people who should have been discharged dishonorably and some might go into politics. I am here in AZ with Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego. Neither are very remarkable in politics and lie for political advantage as much as most Dems But they did serve the country well when in service. One thing about Jimmy Carter, he was honest; I cannot say the same about most Dems today.

Hey sir, As soon as saw that finely rendered and detailed “ Tottenkopf” ….
That almost 3/4 view presentation of this fucking artifact of facist hate and mass murder.
The chin and eyes of that infamous skull slightly lifted up to the right .
I know a deal breaker right front of my lying eyes, when I see one.
GP McNasty now . The new memé :
Violent prison horror cinema . Coming soon.
Shave that head.

Small, subtle insinuation of prison..well prison sex.
“Das oysterfurher”.
You knew it . I knew it.
The smartest people at the pinnacle of American poltical power missed it.
He committed the ultimate sin in the eyes of the Democratic Party-not rape, not getting a Nazi tattoo. Slipping polls.
His pole was slipping in the wrong places at the wrong times apparently.
This is precisely correct
And not supportive of our greatest ally. THAT'S what this is about. A little SA allegations didn't bother anyone about Biden. Or Clinton ....
Platner had a scandal which resulted in slipping polls. Repubs don't care anything about candidates who sexually assault women; just look at Trump and Hegseth.

Troll
You don’t have to be here. Bye.
The right can't tolerate opposing opinions. I don't think you are the one who decides.
I thought I told you to wait in the truck.
say whatever you want. Trump is still president, Hegseth is still Sec. of War Dept. and Platner is still living under pondscum
You seem to think propaganda deserves respect. C- "opinions" aren't worth tolerating as they don't come close to being serious.
I am perfectly serious in my replies.
Hahahaha...ok C-. Your commentary is that of a Pavlovian lapdog.
Hahahahahaha! Poor deluded fool.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
but but but but Trump
Trump took his accusations like a man, cowering to none of it. Platner is taking his accusations like an actual "pussy grabber".
There is nothing manly about the giant toddler. First he apologized ("I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize") , then dismissed it as "locker room talk", deflected it by bringing up the sexual abuse allegations of Clinton (remember the debate where he brought accusers Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Kathy Shelton) and then denied all the allegations by multiple victims who came forward.

Whataboutism for me, but not for thee.
If you capitalize "Black", please extend the honor to other groups: Women and Whites also need capitalized first letters.
Ah, the "both sides' screed. No. You lie just like the media. Now crawl back in your hole.
Just pointing out the right's hypocrisy.
Clearly you wouldn't know a hypocrite if you looked at one in the mirror. Get it? Now go play in the traffic.
No, the right is incapable of recognizing hypocrisy.
Go be stupid somewhere else, Patrick.
Yeah, it’s all about Trump.
Yes, it is as he has been busy making himself appear insane and the US look foolish on the world stage. After killing Iran's leaders en masse, last month he said of the new ones, “And we’re dealing with people that I think are very rational people. They were nice to deal with.

He Trump pointed to Zelenskyy and asked if reporters had any questions for “President Putin”, mentioned the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and started a stupid feuds with Italy & Spain.
You’re doing well proving my point. Carry on.
Yes, the right ignores all the unhinged, embarrassing things he does.
If it's not a Duncan, it's not a yo-yo.
Well, it quacks like a Duncan.
But who knows?
Uh, ok. 🙄
And dried up donor money.
A normal person is not a nazi
A normal person doesn’t rape women (doesn’t rape anyone for that matter)
He was an equal opportunity rapist. Women, burglars, port-a-potties. Bring 'em on!
Not a rapist, just an undocumented lovemaker.
lol
Sheep? Probably
Maybe she had broken into his house earlier and he was just catching up to her.
Or she walked in on him while he was jerking off in the port-a-pottie and he was just getting even
😂
JJoshua you nailed it. That is what struck me about Sasha's post. The problem with politics is that normal people won't get involved anymore. It is filled with abnormal people. Filled. I guess that's why the media won't "take these people down". They thrive on the abnormality.
They are all part of the club.
Good point....Platner made it clear he would happily rape men who came into his home.
Yes, but as he said, NOT in a gay way. 🤔
You can’t perform a rape without your member being in an aroused state. So in his burglar rape scenario, he says it is not about being gay, but about overpowering and dominating/humiliating him. Clearly he is aroused by this power dynamic so he certainly would feel the same arousal (if not stronger) with a woman.

Kinda like the working man version of Swalwell. Gives you the icks!
Watchout for who the Democrats pick no matter what the media will be fully behind them and zero critical thinking will be applied.
Platner, the oyster man with the walrus face, Nazi tattoo, raping his way across the state of Maine, had to blame everyone else except himself for his failure. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see the Democrat party is the political party of the mentally ill.
So much for the progressive idea of a real man.
Lizzie Warren’s kind of man!
Someone she can have a beer with
She might want to leave after he downs number 6. Things could get dicey, especially if he gets confused and thinks she broke in.
…especially if he gets confused and thinks she’s a man…and thinks she broke in!
Well, they hate men so it all worked out for them in the end.
They are incapable of identifying one.
Good riddance

As Fetterman commented, “the trash took itself out tonight.”
Well we have seen how the deep state finds women to falsely accuse of rape when they can’t get dirt on someone who is clean (E.J.Carrol) so it’s still possible he’s telling the truth and they really did have this in the chamber ready to go since they destigmatized his Nazi tat, and his gross online posting, AND his foray on a predatory site for younger kids and adults.

C’mon Marilyn...take responsibility? Really? Who does that over there?
No he didn’t deny it. He simply said it made them stronger because they worked through it so well. 🙄
Well he may have been a lying Nazi rapist who has identified as a communist in the past, but no doubt he meant well......
Eh…it happens.

Very insightful.
If he stayed on the ticket wealthy white women in Maine would have still voted for him.
...do we give it 20 minutes and see if maybe they install Harris? ... just asking ...
Tucker Carlson is available
Only when he's not praying 5 times a day
... on his prayer mat, facing Mecca.
😆
...very true ... democrats embracing Carlson ... that could generate some interest ...
LOL. They probably would if they could.
He is a perfect example of the Democrats . Nazi tatoo, rape and nasty comments included.
