I agree. Platner is a mutt and not one you would like to take home. Bottom line, he is not a good guy. He spent years with other military men, but you don't see any of them campaigning with him or endorsing him. There's a sniff-test that he fails.
He reminds me of Harvey Weinstein circa 1998, “Shakespeare In Love.” And certain famous actresses, presidential candidates, etc. who later exclaimed they “had no idea!” They knew; didn’t care.
Yeah, his shirtless selfies aren't nearly as flattering as he obviously thinks they are. He's clearly not doing regular cardio because those things are way closer to moobs than they are pecs, and he has a clear ring of belly fat on him. Though admittedly physical standards have gotten so low in America today that he probably qualifies as above average.
Bill Clinton was incredibly charismatic. I'm not saying you have to like or support anything he did, but you cannot criticize him for his intelligence or charisma. There's plenty of other things to hold against him, but I know people who briefed him when he was in office and they sincerely disliked him -- with good reason -- but they had to acknowledge those 2 things.
Here's my question: did you honestly find him creepy BEFORE the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Because that was not the common sentiment at the time, and, again, I'm talking about pre-Lewinsky scandal.
I never felt it. He/it always seemed to deliberately polished and self-absorbed, a performance, not any type of 'inner glow' radiating outward, i.e., 'charisma'. John Lennon had charisma, so does DJT.
I've read a lot about Stalin and have never seen anything that indicated he had any charisma. Its been a while since I've looked at that issue, but what I remember is that Stalin had good organizational skills and ruthlessly wielded whatever power he could get. Also, Stalin was physically strong and I believe he served as sort of an enforcer -- that may not be exactly correct, but it was something like that. After Lenin died, there was a power struggle between Stalin and Trotsky, and Stalin eventually had Trotsky killed. Without doubt, Stalin ruled by terror, not by charm.
Thanks, Leslie. Good points. I always find it mysterous how flesh and blood mortals of the 'ruling by fear' kind manage. I think it's a 'sword of Damoclese for them', from Cesar to "Big Paul" Costellano. How do they do it? "One man, one bullet." (I think that was a phrase coined by Joseph Stalin.) Correction, it was “no man - no problem”.
Charisma is a subset of sociopathy. Anyone who thinks he or she is deserving of the informal title "leader of the free world" is a fraud who should be shunned by all society. I'd me more comfortable with conducting political appointments like the draft lottery.
Watch his acceptance speech from election night - I had no regard for him before, but now I see it. Still seems so artificial - especially when you know the personal details.
Thank you; I've been feeling like a crazy person lately wondering why I see this guy as both a failure and a bully and everybody else thinks he's magnetic. It's probably because their comparison is Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz.
The other shoe to drop (maybe one of many) is hearing from his former shipmates in the Marine Corps. Oh boy, I bet there are some stories. If Collins is holding a nuclear bomb to drop on him, this might be it.
If we paraphrase Marshall McCluhan, “the medium is the ‘massage’,” we follow his theory that facts are irrelevant compared to how the message makes you feel — especially for women.
Well, accusations from the corrupt MSM are more innuendo than fact, but let’s not quibble over who has the more corrupt press corps; leftists do. The group that brought over all those innocent children who couldn’t be tested for DNA relations with their pedophile captors is the ultimate evil of the Biden term. The rest is minor in comparison.
Hilarious and 99% spot on. The 1% off target? The left has never left the land of hypocrisy and double standards. It's where they have resided since LBJ, including that deserted island of wine-swilling yogatards surrounded by their ornamental POC.
Agree. But what about the beta boys that might get all hyper on Platner, as well. Like that freak at Biden's CDC, Daskalakis. I'm sure these beta's were just as swooned.
It is wonderful to watch the Democrats commit party suicide. They are destroying the party before our eyes as their Identity Politics, Barack Obama's brainchild, has caused them to shrink their tent to only the most unpopular / dangerous identity groups such as trans and NAZIs. We see even the Southern Poverty Law Center aligned themselves with NAZIs and KKK. Meantime, anyone quasi-moderate is fleeing the party. Sasha is a good example. There are millions of others.
Issue is that it is only party suicide if they don’t win at the national level. If they do manage to win Senate/Prez/House, it won’t be the “SAVE Act”. No, it will be nationalizing the CA election (lol) system that guarantees one outcome
Democrats don't want a constitutional Republic. They want a quasi-Marxist dictatorship. They will do everything they can to bring that about. Your democrat elected representatives are your enemies.
I am not so sure about the qualifier "quasi". If Mamdani is an indicator, the Democrats want full-fledged Marxism, which requires a "dictator" to enforce and will mean "re-education" or concentration camps for anyone not joining the Democrat party
The Democrat "base" are the extremists I reference, including the Leftist media. What was the fringe Left is now the "base". The old moderate base has largely left the party, or in the process of. Can you imagine being Jewish and pro-Israel and staying in a party that hates you? Why?
It's always about power. That's what politicians only ever truly care about, so I'm never really surprised by their behavior. I have zero expectations that they will do anything that's not in their own self-interest.
What truly infuriates me is how individual party supporters who engaged in constant, public moral posturing about fascism, believing women, and defending democracy all of a sudden have done a complete 180 and yet see nothing wrong with their own behavior. Seeing cognitive dissonance at work is fascinating. I'd love to see their reaction if Platner happened to have a different letter next to his name on the ballot.
Progressive are ends justify the means utopians. Because of those beliefs, their only iron-clad principle, the only one from which they will never, ever deviate, is to seize power by any means necessary.
Oh, and in a recent interview James Carville openly admitted that people who said he wouldn't give Platner a pass on the tattoo if he were a Republican are right.
At least he’s honest about it. It’s the people who are deluding themselves that are hopeless. They demonstrate a capacity for self-deception that’s truly dangerous.
It is true for lots of people. People have certain instincts from nature, regardless of whether it is socially acceptable to admit those instincts and fantasies.
As a black father, I'm FAR more concerned about my son crossing the pychopath of a Karmelo Anthony with no impulse control, that I am about ephemeral racism.
Black felons also kill mostly other black felons. Let them go at it and step in occasionally and do some culling. This will run its evolutionary course in a few generations
OK, point made once again: the Democratic Party is the evil party.
But is the other part of the joke working out to be true as well: the Republican Party is the stupid party?
What is Collins doing to campaign against this? And where are the Republicans making the case against this evil He-Man Democrat? Have you heard a peep from them? Are they going to lose this race? Are they going to end up being the stupid party? I certainly hope not!
I find it hard to call Collins a Republican. She consistently votes against “her party”. In fact it’s a shocker when and if she ever votes along party lines. Maine is hosed, one way or another!
Interesting take.... I am sure that is correct and why we have such a huge political and cultural disconnect in America today. Money? No big deal. Just take it from "the oligarchs" (that mythical creature) and run the printing presses, MMT
Yes, that is what amuses me. Democrats act like one the most RINO of all RINOs is a dangerous right-winger, so they’ll promote a woman-abuser with a Nazi tattoo.
This morning it was reported the Collins has shifted her vote to 'yes' on the SAVE Act. I think that's her reacting to Platner's victory. She may not be a Republican, but she needs Republican votes to survive.
Yes, the Republican Party is the stupid party. The two parties typically take turns alternating roles. However, they were probably smart enough in this case to wait until the primary was over to unleash on Platner. As Napoleon once said, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".
My favorite part of the "stupid party and evil party" quote is the last two sentences: "Sometimes the parties get together to pass something both stupid and evil. That's called bipartisanship."
He just won the primary, the election is 4 months away. Wait until you see the campaign. And outside of Maine, "Senator Ossoff, do you support Platner? Do you believe all women? Are you uncomfortable with a Nazi in the Senate". Over, and over, and over again until November. I personally can't wait.
Something tells me Susan Collins was letting Platner hang himself, but now that he won, she’ll be like, “Seriously, you’d rather vote for this Neanderthal over someone rational and logical like me?”
Maine, the land of Concentration Camps. I have been to Portland, ME a few times. Maine is very rural. Loggers and lobstermen are NOT Lefties. I am not sure where all these Democrats came from other than NYC and Boston elites who got tired of the city.
Interestingly, it’s coastal Maine that is solid blue. Inland Maine is Republican, with the exception of a few larger towns/cities.
Moneyed liberals from other New England states (primarily Massachusetts) have been migrating for decades to their coastal formerly-vacation-only properties along the beautiful coast of Maine. Supply and demand has only accelerated the arrival of limousine liberals attracted to this valuable real estate market (think Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard).
Having worked along the Maine coast a time or two in recent years, I’ve sensed the presence of a mass formation having taken place there. Just like what happened in 1690’s Salem, MA (witch trials) or 1930’s Germany, there is a uniformity of ideology there that will make a sane person’s skin crawl. And it permeates everywhere, from the breakfast diner to the hospital cafeteria. This is the product of brainwashing, pure and simple.
Thank you for confirmation of all my suspicions. BTW... I am originally from Oregon which was "progressive conservative" in my youth. Tom McCall was governor. He warned the state about keeping out the Californians and was the inspiration for a series of merch which promoted visiting, but not moving to Oregon. McCall had it right. No more than 20 years after his tenure, the electronics industry was producing a lot of wealthy millionaires in CA who decided to move their operations to Oregon (Intel, the most famous example). That CA migration ruined Oregon and also Washington. It makes me cry when I go back and see what has been done to my home state.
Ah yes! The women of castration island! They keep the testicles of their husband by their bedside, and show the jar to binky milquetoast a couple of times a month to remind him of who is in charge. Then a MAN from Down East Maine shows up, unshaven, dirty flannel shirt with BO sweat stains and faded blue jeans capped off with steel toed work boots Red Wings most likely. And then the women of Castration Island swoon! AND he is a progressive democrat who like they stands for absolutely nothing. They love this fraud, they can have a “relationship”!with him without any real need to be in a relationship. This writer can not figure out why his military record has not been part of the conversation. We are led to believe he is decorated combat Marine. Where are the Marines that served with him in Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion 8th Marines? Wouldn’t you think they would be all over Maine helping a fellow Marine get to Congress? Where are the other Blackwater contractors that worked with him…so far crickets…this guy is nothing but bad news but the hell with it. If John E. Sununu defeats Chris Pappas in New Hampshire it’s a zero sum game. Except that Maine all 1.4 million of them and their shared tooth will find that life didn’t get any better with Graham Platner in the US senate. But hey they voted for him. Elections have consequences…
The reason rich people like Graham Platner is ... because he's one of them!
His grandfather was a famous architect, his father is an Ivy League lawyer and his mother ... she owns an expensive restaurant and is the only customer for Graham Platner's oyster fishery.
You can't be less working class than that. Luckily he dropped out of his expensive prep school or he would have to explain an inconvenient degree.
It was a primary, so liberals of Maine proved they are degenerates. They had the option to vote for what's-her-face, the governor, and chose to vote for the racist ticket
If that's what they think real men are like, no wonder they don't know what a woman is. I think progressive, feminist, left,....whatever they call themselves have their feet firmly planted in mid-air.
When I see this guy I have an overwhelming desire to punch him right in the nose. He stirs in me a visceral disgust. I see a lowlife scumbag. I think you are right as to his appeal to desperate insane females. And weak TDS males. Stephen King is emblematic. Everything that is vile in our culture is represented here in this one phenomenon.
"They might not have even realized how much power masculinity has until they saw it wearing a flannel shirt and speaking to them in that low voice that signals somewhere deep in their lizard brains that this guy could populate a whole village." Hahahahaha. These women have Fifty Shades of Gray (and other "romance" novels) hidden under their mattress.
Very shrewd analysis Sasha.
Excellent - but I don’t see the “charisma”. But then again I’m not a progressive.
While I can definitely appreciate a masculine man, he is highly unattractive and somewhat repulsive physically.
I agree. Platner is a mutt and not one you would like to take home. Bottom line, he is not a good guy. He spent years with other military men, but you don't see any of them campaigning with him or endorsing him. There's a sniff-test that he fails.
my brother was in the army for 25 years. he describes platner as the kind of soldier others avoid like the plague
End the Never Ending Wars.
Yes and let Iran have a nuke! You know nothing of History obviously!
Agreed. I’m lesbian, but I’m not a man hater, so I know a good looking guy when I see one, and he’s just not. He is repulsive.
He reminds me of Harvey Weinstein circa 1998, “Shakespeare In Love.” And certain famous actresses, presidential candidates, etc. who later exclaimed they “had no idea!” They knew; didn’t care.
Yeah, his shirtless selfies aren't nearly as flattering as he obviously thinks they are. He's clearly not doing regular cardio because those things are way closer to moobs than they are pecs, and he has a clear ring of belly fat on him. Though admittedly physical standards have gotten so low in America today that he probably qualifies as above average.
He looks like a pug or an American bulldog
Pugs are adorable, but Platner is anything but!! He's just fugly.
Well, I wouldn’t date him…he’s a Nazi after all. But I do think he has a nice bod. Just sayin”.
I couldn't see the "charisma" in Bill Clinton, either, but liberal women swooned.
barf
Bill Clinton was incredibly charismatic. I'm not saying you have to like or support anything he did, but you cannot criticize him for his intelligence or charisma. There's plenty of other things to hold against him, but I know people who briefed him when he was in office and they sincerely disliked him -- with good reason -- but they had to acknowledge those 2 things.
I certainly can state that I didn't see the attraction he held for women, and do not have to withold criticism.
Charisma? He gave me creepy vibes.
Here's my question: did you honestly find him creepy BEFORE the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Because that was not the common sentiment at the time, and, again, I'm talking about pre-Lewinsky scandal.
I saw through Clinton just as I did Obama...both were creeps and liars! Phonies!
Exactly what I was thinking. I thought he was pasty faced and pusillanimous. But some women (mostly Dems of course) fawned all over him.
😂🤭
Stalin had "charsima" too. Every time I read the word, I unlatch my Browning.
Obama too. Though to me he was just phony & manipulative.
Right -- Obama has charisma, but is awful in too many ways.
I never felt it. He/it always seemed to deliberately polished and self-absorbed, a performance, not any type of 'inner glow' radiating outward, i.e., 'charisma'. John Lennon had charisma, so does DJT.
Stalin has never been accused of being charismatic!! He was always a thug, and not in a good way. Now you're just reaching way beyond the truth.
I don't imagine how a man could achieve a position of power like that without some.
I've read a lot about Stalin and have never seen anything that indicated he had any charisma. Its been a while since I've looked at that issue, but what I remember is that Stalin had good organizational skills and ruthlessly wielded whatever power he could get. Also, Stalin was physically strong and I believe he served as sort of an enforcer -- that may not be exactly correct, but it was something like that.

I don’t see it either. I think that he’s just so different from your garden variety dumbocrat male, that it might be mistaken for charisma.
Watch his acceptance speech from election night - I had no regard for him before, but now I see it. Still seems so artificial - especially when you know the personal details.
Thank you; I've been feeling like a crazy person lately wondering why I see this guy as both a failure and a bully and everybody else thinks he's magnetic. It's probably because their comparison is Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz.
The bar is real low.
The other shoe to drop (maybe one of many) is hearing from his former shipmates in the Marine Corps. Oh boy, I bet there are some stories. If Collins is holding a nuclear bomb to drop on him, this might be it.
I hope you are right. Probably turn out they caught him with 🐐 or something. Baby 🐐at that.
The party's voters already loved the guy for his Nazi tattoo. He'll sweep their Presidential primaries if it turns out that he fucks baby goats too.
Another Swift Boat Veterans For Truth scenario, eh?
The only thing that could derail Platner is if some womyn charges him with rape and he has to run from jail. And even that might not stop him.
If we paraphrase Marshall McCluhan, “the medium is the ‘massage’,” we follow his theory that facts are irrelevant compared to how the message makes you feel — especially for women.
CORRECTION: LIBERAL WOMEN.
Accusations of rape didn't hurt trump or hegseth.
Well, accusations from the corrupt MSM are more innuendo than fact, but let’s not quibble over who has the more corrupt press corps; leftists do. The group that brought over all those innocent children who couldn’t be tested for DNA relations with their pedophile captors is the ultimate evil of the Biden term. The rest is minor in comparison.
Dems always lie.
Dems always project.
Trump did not sleep w stormy daniels. she was viewed as an annoyance when his atty brought her up & said they should just pay her to go away.
she broke the agreement & got sued.
like e jean carroll, all demonrat lies & projection.
demonrats love platner bc he represents the deviants, criminals & mentally ill parasites they are.
Hilarious and 99% spot on. The 1% off target? The left has never left the land of hypocrisy and double standards. It's where they have resided since LBJ, including that deserted island of wine-swilling yogatards surrounded by their ornamental POC.
Agree. But what about the beta boys that might get all hyper on Platner, as well. Like that freak at Biden's CDC, Daskalakis. I'm sure these beta's were just as swooned.
Are you referring to the person that stole women's luggage?
No, but that's another freak in Biden's admin.
Freaks were the norm, not the exception, during that administration.
I think that was Sam Brinson. That's from memory, but I'm old.
The dems don't care if he is a pedophile, zoophile, or necrophile. He's their man.
It is wonderful to watch the Democrats commit party suicide. They are destroying the party before our eyes as their Identity Politics, Barack Obama's brainchild, has caused them to shrink their tent to only the most unpopular / dangerous identity groups such as trans and NAZIs. We see even the Southern Poverty Law Center aligned themselves with NAZIs and KKK. Meantime, anyone quasi-moderate is fleeing the party. Sasha is a good example. There are millions of others.
Prediction - 100% of democrats will fall into line behind Platner
“the people of Maine have spoken, who am I to second guess them”
“Nazi tattoo? We all have some indiscretions in our past”
Issue is that it is only party suicide if they don’t win at the national level. If they do manage to win Senate/Prez/House, it won’t be the “SAVE Act”. No, it will be nationalizing the CA election (lol) system that guarantees one outcome

The Democrat "base" are the extremists I reference, including the Leftist media. What was the fringe Left is now the "base". The old moderate base has largely left the party, or in the process of. Can you imagine being Jewish and pro-Israel and staying in a party that hates you? Why?
You'll have to ask them that.
It doesn't matter, as they "count" the votes. So, he's just a façade.
It's always about power. That's what politicians only ever truly care about, so I'm never really surprised by their behavior. I have zero expectations that they will do anything that's not in their own self-interest.

"I’m telling you these women have deep, dark fantasies about being dragged by the hair and thrown on the bed."
It's hilarious how true this is for progressive women.
And how unlikely it is to happen
Dragging a pudgy, tattooed, nose-pierced gender neutral human off to breed by its purple hair is not appealing to this cave dweller.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha lolol perfect!
Hey they got to have dreams though.
My sentiments exactly! 👍
HaHaHa!
I’m so happy to hear you say that!! LOL
Best reply! Haha!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is true for lots of people. People have certain instincts from nature, regardless of whether it is socially acceptable to admit those instincts and fantasies.
As a black father, I'm FAR more concerned about my son crossing the pychopath of a Karmelo Anthony with no impulse control, that I am about ephemeral racism.
Why is this not the focus of the community?
Black kids mainly kill black kids.
Black felons also kill mostly other black felons. Let them go at it and step in occasionally and do some culling. This will run its evolutionary course in a few generations
Not when we keep paying single moms to have kids.
^ Exactly this.
When you feed the pigeons you get more pigeons.

OK, point made once again: the Democratic Party is the evil party.
But is the other part of the joke working out to be true as well: the Republican Party is the stupid party?
What is Collins doing to campaign against this? And where are the Republicans making the case against this evil He-Man Democrat? Have you heard a peep from them? Are they going to lose this race? Are they going to end up being the stupid party? I certainly hope not!
There was no point in campaigning against Nazi-boi until today, but I think we all agree that it is now time for her to get her ass in gear
I find it hard to call Collins a Republican. She consistently votes against “her party”. In fact it’s a shocker when and if she ever votes along party lines. Maine is hosed, one way or another!
I can only laugh when the Dem machine tries to cast Collins as Ultra-MAGA right. What a clown show they all are
To a true leftist, reality itself is "oppressive" and so should be ignored.
Interesting take.... I am sure that is correct and why we have such a huge political and cultural disconnect in America today. Money? No big deal. Just take it from "the oligarchs" (that mythical creature) and run the printing presses, MMT
Yes, that is what amuses me. Democrats act like one the most RINO of all RINOs is a dangerous right-winger, so they’ll promote a woman-abuser with a Nazi tattoo.

Did she just realize her status as a replaceable useful idiot?
I guess there IS a silver lining to Platner’s candidacy!
Yes, the Republican Party is the stupid party. The two parties typically take turns alternating roles. However, they were probably smart enough in this case to wait until the primary was over to unleash on Platner. As Napoleon once said, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".

If Susan Collins has any really good dirt on this dirtbag, she will drop it after July 14 - the deadline for the Democrats to replace him.
"Maine Kampf"--that's hysterical!

His grandfather was a famous architect, his father is an Ivy League lawyer and his mother ... she owns an expensive restaurant and is the only customer for Graham Platner's oyster fishery.
You can't be less working class than that. Luckily he dropped out of his expensive prep school or he would have to explain an inconvenient degree.
He didn't drop out.... he was kicked out for bad behavior.
drop out, kicked out, flunked out .... details!
It takes a rich and spoiled kid to throw away the opportunity for a $60,000/year education
Vote blue no matter ewwwww.
It was a primary, so liberals of Maine proved they are degenerates. They had the option to vote for what's-her-face, the governor, and chose to vote for the racist ticket
Vote blue no matter who, even an abuser with a Nazi tattoo.
Same as it ever was.
Vote Nazi no matter whatsi.
If that's what they think real men are like, no wonder they don't know what a woman is. I think progressive, feminist, left,....whatever they call themselves have their feet firmly planted in mid-air.
LOL!! Great turn of phrase: "firmly planted....". And yes, they will want Platner to be on top
When I see this guy I have an overwhelming desire to punch him right in the nose. He stirs in me a visceral disgust. I see a lowlife scumbag. I think you are right as to his appeal to desperate insane females. And weak TDS males. Stephen King is emblematic. Everything that is vile in our culture is represented here in this one phenomenon.
Yeah, Stephen King. Guess it takes a creep to write creepy stuff...
And now we know how the German people could have been attracted to / gone along with Adolf Hitler. Platner is similar in many ways.
"They might not have even realized how much power masculinity has until they saw it wearing a flannel shirt and speaking to them in that low voice that signals somewhere deep in their lizard brains that this guy could populate a whole village." Hahahahaha. These women have Fifty Shades of Gray (and other "romance" novels) hidden under their mattress.
Trump is their porn.
Brilliant.
