The thing w/Platner is the entire timeline is a series of red flags going back to his freshman year in HS when he got kicked out of Hotchkiss. You want the guy who didn’t join the Marines, get a Nazi tattoo & PTSD, then go to work for Blackwater & spend years getting drunk and assaulting women as difficult as that is to recognize in our current influencer driven, parasocial political climate. Also, he would have disappointed his base and flipped to MAGA as soon as he got into the Senate like that caveman from Pennsylvania (or picked up the booze again, Capitol Hill exacerbates character defects) . I’m not unconvinced he wasn’t some sort of Bannon/Stone plant. If Dems didn’t do oppo research/vetting you can bet MAGA did and were sitting on it as kompromat insurance down the road.
Un uomo russo è in fila alla stazione di servizio. "Ne ho abbastanza", dice alla moglie. "Prendi tu il volante, io vado a sparare a Putin".
Dopo due ore torna e si rimette al volante.
La moglie gli chiede "Gli hai sparato?"
E lui risponde "No, la fila per sparare a Putin è più lunga di questa!".
@ShaneGoldmacher He can no longer win, and he's probably already handed the election to Collins. Refusing to drop out demonstrates a narcissistic self undeserving of elected office.
