Supreme Social Justice Overlord. As fake as the genocidal Chinese Communist State. Commentary calling out racist athletes, human rights abusers and rapists.
As Deshaun Watson pays off 20 women to suppress knowledge of his rapey behavior, we must always remember that he would get in a baby yoga pose like he’s about to have his diapey changed and wanted women to stick their hands in his anus. Think of this when you see him on the field
Graham Platner having his best fundraising day after the NYT reported that he hates and abuses women and was lying about his Nazi tattoo tells you everything you need to know about the modern Democratic party.
Sen. John Fetterman when asked about Graham Platner, he said who P hustle? The reporter with a puzzled and perturbed look on her face replied: is that what you call him Fetterman replied: no that’s what he calls himself. 🤣
I’m glad Lyndsey detailed this -
-The NYT found HER
-They got her agreement to go on the record based on the understanding that they weren’t hanging her out to dry
-They connected her with other victims with vivid stories - that didn’t even get included
-They spent more of the story explaining why she might not be credible
-They gave Platner pushback more validity than Lyndsey’s account - and continued to press her to relive and re-prove everything she had about the most toxic point in her life
-Editors seem more interested in killing a story than getting facts right or shining a light on horrific behavior from a major candidate for office
Journalists made themselves the heroes of the #MeToo movement - they even made movies about it. But the lesson from this is journalists role in exposing bad behavior is different if the accuser is an (R) and the powerful person being accused is a (D).
I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.
As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.
But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.
After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?
Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?
Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).
Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?
The editors said it was too much, they explained.
The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.
It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.
And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.
Still fawning after all these years.
Josh Barro on Platner:
“Graham Platner doesn’t work for a living. As The New York Times reports, the bulk of his income comes from a military disability pension of approximately $60,000 a year. The pension doesn’t mean he’s too disabled to work — he is, after all, currently seeking the job of U.S. Senator — but his recent non-campaign endeavors seem more like hobbies than a career. He runs an oyster farm that principally sells oysters to his mother’s restaurant. He earned a small stipend as his town’s harbor master: $3,000 last year. He lives in a $205,000 house that he bought with a $200,000 loan from his father.”
What a resume.
CHRIS HAYES: The Times reported that they saw texts of Lyndsey Fifield, including a text in August. This would be before October of last year, in which she basically said that you had a "Nazi tattoo," and she joked about how she was going to go volunteer for Collins. Now, again, this is a text that got sent so we can place the time. Right? This is in August. How does she know it’s a Nazi tattoo in August of last year and you don’t know it’s Nazi tattoo in August of last year?
GRAHAM PLATNER: Well, she certainly didn’t send that text to me. So whoever she sent it to and was talking to, that’s I can’t say why, but I will say that I certainly didn’t know.
I'm gonna straighten it out for you. I like many gamers, don't have a problem playing as a female character. Stellar Blade became Sony's fastest selling 1st party IP on PC, everyone absolutely lost their shit when we saw Tifa in FF7 Remake, and we were all fans of Metroid and Samus Aran long before you ever existed as a sperm in your daddy's ballsack, so cut the crap.
What myself and many others are sick and tired of though, are male characters in male dominated franchises, being replaced by female characters, or rather ugly & insufferable girlbosses designed by a bunch of undesirable blue-haired Feminists. Now these developers are free to make their own games with their own characters, and if they wanna make a new IP with a female protagonist, have at it. Remedy made Control and it was a hit, so was Horizon Zero Dawn, but instead they keep hijacking established franchises to peddle their bullshit and we're tired of it.
This shit right here, is the exact reason why I don't give one flying fuck that there have been 50,000 layoffs in the games industry in the last 4 years. Hell make it 100K, purge the rest of them, because if they're going to continue to ruin the franchises we love, then they deserve nothing but pure contempt and to be treated like the subhuman parasites they all are until the entire Western side of the industry is burnt to the ground.
We have to talk about this Disney-fication of games.
This ruined WoW and now it's on the way to ruin God of War: Laufey (terrible name).
Modern designers seem to have an unquenchable desire to take epic stories with grit and then shove in cute animals, jelly cubes with millennial dialog, dancing sentient "ribbons" and colors dredged from rainbow vomit.
This feels like they never grew out of needing a safe space.
It feels like they are incapable of adult themes and problems and it feels like a total avoidance of adulthood and accountability.
And it's so off putting to see in a God of War game. You might as well have called it something else. It has zero ties aside from the name to the originals.
Stop taking games that are supposed to be about war and violence and gritty mythology and turning them into theme-park rides for 5 year olds.
CNN’s Michael Smerconish calls out Graham Platner over n*zi tattoo,
“He didn’t cover it until October of 2025, 18 years after getting it and only when it became a political problem.”
💥NEW: CNN’s Michael Smerconish *SLAMS* Graham Platner over Nazi tattoo💥
“He didn’t cover it until October of 2025 — 18 years after getting it — and only when it became a political problem.”
“Think about that for a moment. 18 years of getting out of the shower, 18 years of looking into the mirror — and seeing the Totenkopf.”
“That’s not a drunken mistake in Croatia — that’s a daily choice sustained for nearly two decades.”
Not caring about him wheeling six chicks at once when he was married is your choice
Not caring that he pretends to be a populist when he went to one of the richest prep schools in America is your choice
Not caring he went to war saying he always wanted to kill people is your choice
Not caring he went to work for Blackwater after serving and now calls the army very dumb and stupid is your choice
Not caring that he made fun of Purple Heart recipients is your choice
Not caring that he jerks off in porta potties is your choice
Not caring about all the shit he’s deleted on Reddit and he never thought would see the light of day and shows what a giant jackass is he is your choice
Not caring that he is a Nazi is your choice but if you support him and promote him don’t ever lecture anybody about the moral high ground again because you are a piece of shit
@grahamformaine 5 minutes and 20 takes and she doesn’t even address the deplorable behavior of her husband instead justifying it because he’s had violent times - except he wanted those violent times. He relishes that. He’s a loser.
@GrimmHollywood The problem is the game is $70 and there are plenty of other meaningful titles to engage with that don’t have weird influencer/streamer cameos and move as far from the tradition of Connery and Brosnan that many grew up with.
On our way to Bangor, Maine for a rally with @grahamformaine.
The crises facing our country are too serious for establishment politics and tinkering around the edges.
We need candidates like Graham who will take on the greed of the oligarchs and deliver for working families.
If a candidate with Graham Platner’s online history was the Republican nominee for a Senate election, Jimmy Kimmel would be making “masturbating Nazi” jokes every single night. The current season of SNL would have featured him in five cold-opens. We notice the double standard.
