Hello Mr. Platner,

Ratio.

That's it. That's the whole rebuttal.

You are someone who, by the virtue of his Reddit posts, manages to be simultaneously a filthy-literal-Communist and anti-Semite. That in itself is an egregious sin, because literal, card-carrying Communists are fundamentally at odds with America's norms.

But if that weren't enough, you have voluminous Reddit posts defending the Nazi Totenkopf symbol. You clearly knew the tattoo you got and you defended it publicly. There's no either/or way about it.

Scum attracts scum. Which is why you can comfortably swim in both literal-Communist and literal-antisemitic far-right circles.

I am no fan of Sue Collins. But the fact you are running against her, that you have even the smallest chance of defeating her --

you, as someone who is a self-admitted Communist, someone who has Nazi sympathies -- not to mention all the horrific, personal-life stuff --

You are the worst candidate in history, right AND left. You are the authoritarian evil that every "democracy" group speaks about, yet they will hypocritically not say a word against because they believe that being anti-Trump is more important than allying with Communists or Nazis.

You are not "populist." On the contrary:

You are the perfected example of how liberal democracy has rotted so far that they'd rather stay silent about you, hoping you'll win against the most moderate Republican in the Senate, than to hand Trump the possibility of retaining the Senate.

Let the record show: Mike Lee is not a bridge-burner.

He has worked every channel to pass a bill with 75% public support. He has kept relationships intact. He has cooperated with the same institutions that are paid hundreds of millions of dollars to promote election integrity abroad, and asked them only to apply the same standard at home.

There is a hypocrisy in treating voter ID as an obstacle to democracy rather than a feature of it. The National Democratic Institute, the Democratic Party's own international arm, has spent decades and billions helping far less developed countries implement voter ID far stricter than SAVE America Act, all under advancing "democracy."

What Democrats (and Republicans) fund in African countries, they fight in Washington.

Mike Lee has played the institutionalist. He has been patient, procedural, and cooperative. But if the SAVE Act cannot pass a Senate his party controls 53–47, that patience will have been proven pointless...

And the Mike Lee who emerges from that failure will not be the one the Senate been negotiating with.

Nithya Raman tied to HOMELESS NGO in L.A. receiving $600k, with thousands of homeless voters registered at shelters with ZERO beds.

I believe we found where Raman's magical mail-in ballot drops came from. U.S. Attorney launching probes into major fraud.

James O'Keefe and many others showed you that the homeless are being paid for votes. Direct link to Nithya Raman, St. Joseph Center received $600,000 in taxpayer funds from the homeless/housing committee while Raman was chair.

A photo of her presenting the check was quietly removed from the center's website after NY Post article. Raman's campaign and the center did not respond to questions.

7,600 voters registered at homeless shelters and service providers across LA. Midnight Mission, Skid Row, 1,160 registered voters, but the shelter only has beds for 84 men + 36 women.

St. Joseph Center, Venice drop-in center, 185 registered voters at its address, offers no beds or accommodations whatsoever.

Hundreds more tied to supportive/affordable housing projects, with nearly 200 added in the final weeks before the registration deadline.

Over 80 voters registered at four behavioral health/addiction facilities, Corner of Hope, Volunteers of America Alcohol Services, LA Centers for Alcohol & Drug Abuse, Homeless Health Care LA Harm Reduction Center.

313 voters tied to LA County social services facilities. Voter registration drives witnessed outside grocery stores, one homeless man, Norman, claimed he was paid to sign people up and saw cigarettes offered as incentives during "big push" efforts.

One registered voter, Bo Jackson, near Midnight Mission couldn’t remember registering and couldn’t name a single candidate in the LA mayor’s race.

The story ties directly into the heated LA mayor's race and major concerns over California's election integrity with clear ties to fraud.

I‘ve flown on Marine One more times than I can remember.

I’ve noticed two very distinct differences between President Trump and President Clinton.

1) on all of our Marine One flights, Clinton never stopped at the cockpit and spent time with the pilots. Never. Trump does.

2) Clinton had a really lousy half-hearted salute and the Marines eventually stopped facing the steps and the president. They faced forward. It’s the little things.

Now, they’re facing Trump and Trump snaps off a sharp, respectful salute.

We are not the same. ❤️

@wealthy2034 @TonyBrunoShow Heartbreaking. That 9:30 to 10:00 am transition is jarring; watching them at 9:30 knowing what’s coming at 10:00 is so sad. God bless.

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

A non-profit health system can refer a patient to its own MRI, its own lab, its own surgery center, and bill all three.

An independent does that once and it's a federal felony.

Same referral.
Same patient.
One of you goes to prison.

It's called Stark Law.
Read who's exempt.

The asymmetry is the whole business model.

@bethanyjbabcock Appreciate the good humor, that’s a great component of a healthy relationship.

[Michael Darling @DoctorMrMD2]

@cenkuygur @kenklippenstein Who is taking healthcare away from millions of Americans? Susan Collin’s is doing that? The ACA was passed as the solution to all health/medical care problems. You posit a vote for a thoroughly depraved democrat for US Senator is a no-brainer over moderate (at best) Collin’s.

[Michael Darling @DoctorMrMD2]

@LeaderJohnThune The Senate Majority Leader goes wah wah wah all around the town. You, sir, exhibit daily you are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

Imagine if basketball games were played inside locked buildings without windows. The field goals and free throws were registered and counted by machines. The running score of the game was projected on the outside of the building. But it wasn't simultaneous with the game. The running score changed for days and even weeks after the contest was over. When at last there was a final score the fans cheered or slumped in despair.

How long would public interest and faith in such a sport last?

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Dr. ALVEDA KING just said it PERFECTLY on Capitol Hill

"I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace GOD'S power and human dignity!"

"I reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as THREATS or TERRORISTS simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought!" 🙏🏻

"I dream that Americans will one day see each other, not as enemies, but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond."

"We are as scripture teaches, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us."

"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions."

"God bless America, God bless you!"

🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻

@officer_Lew It’s known as punching/fighting above your weight (in this case intelligence) class. No, Stephen, POTUS is not running from you, he’s recognizing your insignificance through his disregard of you.

[🐺 @LeighWolf]

The CA ballot saga just got worse!

I laid a trap and a Contra Costa County government official named Helen Nolan, along with journalists @sara_dinatale + @demianbulwa, walked right into it.

When they put together their hit piece on me in the @sfchronicle (link in replies), they didn't know that I received a SECOND ballot at the same address...but this one was sent to someone no one in my family has ever heard of...despite the fact that we've owned the house continuously since 1962...

THREAD! 🧵

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

See, what you Dems screwed up on was how you handled a jungle primary.

You can't claim that Democrat voters vote a certain way when only ONE of the Democrat candidates had that last minute, improbable push and the other did not.

Your own lies prove your lies.

Stop lying Ro, and fix America's broken electoral system.

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

Your lack of education continues to astound me. As a descendent from the actual founding fathers, let me help you out here.

In the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, written by John Adams, "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

During the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom discussion, Thomas Jefferson said religious rights should extend to "the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan [Muslim], the Hindoo, and infidel of every denomination."

George Washington's 1790 letter to the Hebrew congregation of Touro Synagogue Congregation stated "gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance."

Going forward before claiming the Founders were motivated by religious intolerance, take the time to read what they actually wrote as your little manipulative games with history to radicalize gets old.

If you cannot understand and respect the basic principles upon which this country was founded, you do not deserve to lead any of it!

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

The reason that Republicans have not set up their own ballot harvesting operation is too long for a tweet, but here is the summary:

It is illegal to harvest ballots as a Republican. Not technically, but if you are GOP and you step out of line on even the smallest thing, they will put you in jail for 20 years.

[David Asman @DavidAsmanfox]

As someone who covered the region for a dozen years for the WSJ, and reported in astonishment how even under conservative Pres Ronald Reagan USAID was funding socialist projects in Latin America, I can assure you that this is 💯 accurate.
