They overlooked the Nazi tattoo, the bizarre fantasies about port-a-potties, the rough and “unsettling” behavior with women, but now, a scandal has broken that could spell the end of Graham Platner’s short-lived political career, and his campaign to unseat Susan Collins in Maine.
Dems will soon get Platner out of the race, but just to be clear, it won’t be because they find him to be a disgusting, repulsive 🤮 human being who has no business being in the US Senate. It’s simply because they now think he can’t win. Otherwise they would ride this pig 🐖 all the way to Election Day. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
The Party will pay no penalty for the nomination. The online Left is already claiming that Democrats gain moral standing over the whole thing because they're ultimately kicking Platner out.
Here's the fight! The DNC want Mills, the former governor, and the DSA wants anyone but. Platner thinks he's Biden, but he's got LESS power than Swallwell did. IDK the clown, but I'll give you 50/50 that he'll burn it down before surrendering.
Unless he actually is a Pussy-Hustler like he's called himself...
They rode the unstable pony until he dropped in the polls. Rut roh. This is all about WINNING. Period.
They will play this out just like Biden was the great dem hope until he wasn’t. TPTB will choose the choice for Maine voters. Negating once again the primary election results. Democracy!
It’s not about the rape(s), it’s simply that his polling numbers (like Sawell’s and Biden’s) were tanking…if he was still leading in the polls he’d be safe…
...sadly I agree ... democrats are playing an unusual game here ... I know they have trouble with the definition of a woman but it appears democrats can't define what a man is either ... most of this has to do with the play for Independents but democrats choose Tim Walz? ... Mamdani? ... Platner? ... BUT this time, similar to Biden, try out an installed democrat and throw lots of money at her ...
The Democrat party can’t afford to have another DSA affiliated nationally elected candidate. But will Graham actually pull out of the race? He did after all win the D primary. If he does cancel his run, it will be in exchange for something from the D party. That’s how these things go. What will he get? I’m pretty sure it’s going to be something other than having a say in who replaces him.
Regardless, I'm pleased to see Democrats spend so much $ and political capital on a loser, and D’s potentially now “acting
like Kings” to install another - by choice of their donor-billionaire class. You know, the oligarchs that Bernie and AOC like to rail on about.
This should be a much bigger problem for him than it has been. If you have to have 100% disability due to PTSD it is because you are unable to work. I wonder what his oyster fishing gig brings in? How is someone who is 100% disabled due to PTSD supposed to do the work involved in governing?
I recall reading somewhere recently that his oyster gig had only one "customer" - his mom's restaurant; that he claimed $5,000/yr in "Other Income". If I recall (or re-find) the article, I'll post an amendment. Sad to me, that he is receiving full benefits for his 100% disability. I don't trust this guy for anything.
100% disability should preclude you from work. By very definition. If you CAN work, than you are not 100% disabled. These are the scams happening every single day in this country.
A VA disability award is not like others such as Social Security disability. In those, if you recover sufficiently, you end disability payments. Not so, for VA. You are awarded for what you suffered. It’s yours. Check out the amounts spent on PTSD alone.
Yes, the very ones that paid Bernie to step out of Hilliarys way. That's exactly when he became a multimillionaire. Oh yeah, that and his best selling book.
They, in general, are as disgusting as Platner. His Nazi tattoo wasn’t disqualifying, his saying a Purple Heart recipient should have died wasn’t disqualifying, his history of treating women badly wasn’t disqualifying….but now that it looks like he may not win the election— he had to go
The entire sordid Graham Platner episode is all caused by the inability of the Democrat Party / DNC to understand the basic idea of "what is a man"? Dems have labeled conservative men as "toxic" and variously called for the eradication of conservative men, successfully in the case of Charlie Kirk. Most Dem men are "betas". James Talarico is a great example of this and Beto before him. The DNC decided they needed to start recruiting Marlboro Men that were Democrats to run for national office in order to attract young men to their party. Unfortunately for the DNC, macho Libs don't exist. Alpha males, who will inherently take on responsibility for themselves, their spouses and their children, will find a way to make a living to afford a home and put food on the table, are just never going to be Democrats, even with somewhat liberal social ideals. So, the Dems end up with broken, irresponsible men who are willing to fake the rugged, individualistic image the DNC requires. Here is the giveaway that they aren't what they pretend to be: They are still living with mommie and daddie in their 30s, unable to stand on their own two feet.
This has nothing to do with #me.too. Platner is behind in the polls. That's all that matters to the left. One can be a diabolical narcissist, blessing the murder of his gay lover and the murder of the poor soul forced to destroy his fake Social Security files, and remain on the presidential ticket because he's ahead in the polls.
Platner was already slipping in the polls and he was bringing down the Dem party brand, which is quite a feat, so the party decided to pull the plug just in time to name a replacement.
For a party that has no problem supporting any manner of sexual deviancy, they continue to use heterosexual rape accusations as something that just crosses the line somehow.
The pearl clutching is so fake and the timing makes it 100% clear it's about getting an anointed candidate in regardless of the voters choice. Whomever they think can win.
This has nothing to do with"serious accusations".... This is the go to , stop the presses dirty deal play both parties use just in the nick of time. Some times true,sometimes not but it doesn't matter. They attach the word " credible" to the accusations they want to stick.
That no one questions a candidates fitness to serve with a declared100% disability based on PTSD is extremely disturbing at it's core. At the very least he is declaring himself mentally unstable. But 10 minutes ago I guess that didn't matter
I’m hoping Platner doesn’t drop out and the Dems have to contend with the optics and not get to pull another Biden switcheroo. They were ALL behind him last week, now their hypocrisy is on full display. Cry harder Dems. Hope you lose any chance of gaining Maine, even though Collins is a RINO, but still remain the majority (as weak at it is, but stops all the revenge impeachment crap).
We just used to expect more from our Loser Leftists.
*From: Webster's new American dictionary
Communazi (kom ū nä'tsē) n. Designation for a supporter and adherent of a consolidation of Communism and Nazism, esp. Applied to those who supported the Nazi-Russian non-aggression pact of 1939. - adj.
I always remind people that Hitler was a Marxist, even though he did not want to acknowledge it in public once he broke off his romance with Josef Stalin in 1940. Hitler's party was called Nationalsozialist (you can do the translation) which the acronym is NAZI. So Hitler created the Democratic Socialist of Germany party which leaned towards communism, complete with oligarchs (those he trusted to build and run the war machine), nationalist authoritarianism (also called fascism), devotion to State over religion and funding stolen from Jews (including their gold teeth during the Holocaust).

Too late.
How can the party have “moral standing” when female dogs in heat have more morals than a Demtoid.
🎯
Exactly
Any guesses who they’ll thrown in there next?

That is so true. If he was still in the lead, all these Dems would be all in. Dems are such hypocrites and have no shame.

Platner is a DSA-style candidate who lives 100% on government disability check for PTSD:

Come to my state of Massachusetts. Fraud and corruption up the ass.

we won't get to find out

His own MSNOW show highlighting “empowering women”
Lovely golden? on your profile pic!
she was our 1st. She passed a couple of years ago. Her younger sister is still with us.
What happened to “normie democrats”?
They, in general, are as disgusting as Platner. His Nazi tattoo wasn’t disqualifying, his saying a Purple Heart recipient should have died wasn’t disqualifying, his history of treating women badly wasn’t disqualifying….but now that it looks like he may not win the election— he had to go
“Normie Democrats” became Republicans and Independents about 6 years ago.
Pass the 🍿 lololol
". . . dropping out but only if his replacement shares his views." How many misogynistic, antisemitic nazis are there in the democrat party?
Prolly quite a few!
Lol okay I inhaled my smoothie on that one, thank you 🤣
That made me laugh out loud. Nicely done!

He got Al Frankened
Was only a matter of time.
I can’t help but noticing that this sudden push to oust Platner coincided with some not-so-favorable polling.
Exactly. And this isn't the first woman who has accused him of sexual improprieties, not that it mattered as her concerns were dismissed.
Today's Democrat Party: Pass the popcorn, please.
This has nothing to do with #me.too. Platner is behind in the polls. That's all that matters to the left. One can be a diabolical narcissist, blessing the murder of his gay lover and the murder of the poor soul forced to destroy his fake Social Security files, and remain on the presidential ticket because he's ahead in the polls.
Geez, I didn't know Barack had a gay lover.

Gotta love the brazenness of Donna Brazile saying PLATNER needs time to heal.
If only they could find another Nazi who isn't a rapist... damn.
I’m hoping Platner doesn’t drop out and the Dems have to contend with the optics and not get to pull another Biden switcheroo. They were ALL behind him last week, now their hypocrisy is on full display. Cry harder Dems. Hope you lose any chance of gaining Maine, even though Collins is a RINO, but still remain the majority (as weak at it is, but stops all the revenge impeachment crap).
Couldn't of happened to a nicer Communazi*.
