The biggest myth about donald trump is how EVERYONE thinks he will be a strong man for THEM. The poors think he will fight big corporations, rich people think he will give them tax breaks and drive growth, immigrants believe he will solve immigration (but leave their particular group alone), pro Ukraine thinks he will be a strongman vs putin, anti-Ukrainians think he will abandon Ukraine, etc... Guys, Donald Trump is a fucking idiot, who only cares about himself, does not pay attention to details, has the attention span of a gnat, is wildly incompetent and driven by maleovance. He will just be an agent of chaos, and whoever flatters him the most will get their way. He is not a strong man, and will not be a strongman against anyone, except for the most vulnerable of people. Just like last time
@ConflictHurts@ggreenwald What job would you want a 73 year old to do? Why do they make pilots retire at 65? So as long as the accusations were old, and not new, it's fine? How many years ok? 1? 5? 12?
Ex-Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan addresses Mayor Zohran Mamdani:
“We survived Amalek, we survived Hamas, we defeated Iran, we overcame Pharaoh — we will overcome Zohran Mamdani as well.”
His comments came at an event at Park East Synagogue on the day of the Israel Parade:
@ConflictHurts@ggreenwald She's old. Exactly. Is that not a huge flaw? and here's how her and her husband met. Why is that cool, and platners an issue?
@ConflictHurts@ggreenwald who isn't flawed? collins had an affair also. and shes shaking like a leaf. but some of these allegations werent even corroborated! what does that tell you?
Ok I’ve just read the Platner story. It is built entirely on the claims of a Heritage staffer whose accusations lack even one shred of contemporaneous corroborating evidence. Two other women Platner dated felt dissed, but that’s all.
The NYT is running oppo for Collins.
FIRST: They couldn’t figure out how to beat Platner on the issues.
NEXT: Avoid talking about the issues concerning Mainers.
THEN: Started a well crafted & well funded smear campaign in hopes of slowing him down or forcing him out
RESULT: Their own internals show a dead heat.
@ConflictHurts@ggreenwald Or there are forces that dont want him in the senate. Not sure why you dont see it when its all over the place. No tin hat needed
Van Jones says Platner's candidacy is a "moment of truth" for the Democratic Party
“Do you want to sign off on the Donald Trump standard of behavior? ...is that now our standard in this party, or is it not?"
The New York Times is not very subtle about its support for Susan Collins. This is a must-win seat for Democrats, but they are busy smearing the Democrats in the race while giving Collins positive coverage. I hope Yall know they want platner to lose that y they are amplifying right wing propaganda against him.
