Tonight, the world may end…
That’s not hyperbole - Trump may carry out his threat and nuke Iran. If that happens…
Thank you to those who have made life worth living. We’ll all be seeing each other on the other side soon enough… 😖
Do @TheDemocrats, @dscc, @SenGillibrand and @brianschatz have any clue how many of us they’re alienating by supporting a woman beating rape apologist Nazi or do they just not care!?
This is much more than a clever line.
Graham Platner must prove that he was sexting 18+ girls on Kik, bc the platform has no age verification.
If he does not, we will have to call him Pedo Platner, and that name has staying power.
I have never once worked with a person with a Nazi tattoo. I spent nearly a decade in the military, have friends in the trades, and did construction in high school.
Platner grew up rich; private school, dropped out of college, parents bought his house, living off disability.
Are people really dumb enough not to understand campaign messaging and strategy?
Talarico's entire campaign strategy is to get enough Texas Republicans who see Paxton as a bridge to far to cross over and vote for him in spite of their partisan loyalty. Do you really think Texas Republicans are not going to run ads featuring Platner saying, "Democrats are willing to vote for a man who beat his girlfriend and has a Nazi tattoo out of partisan loyalty, you can suck it up and vote for Paxton to keep them out of power"
Republicans had hoped to do this with Roy Moore in Alabama over Franken in 2017 but by pushing him out, they couldn't.
John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.
It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.
This is going to be what every single republican beats every single democratic candidate with from here until November and make no mistake - it WILL cost us races up and down the ballot in every state.
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.
I would prefer this. Instead, they're not just smearing the source (which could have an impact on other sources), they're redefining domestic violence entirely.
Oh I know quite a few guys like Platner: they’re all horrible abusive men that deserve to be locked away, not put in the US Senate and made the face of the Democratic Party.
If you don't know at least a handful of guys like Graham, you've never done a day of physical labor in your life and you should really think long and hard about your own class position and why Platner is winning Maine so handily...
There is ZERO evidence that Platner has grown or changed or anything. He and his supporters, who just became aware of his existence last year, say he’s changed and just want us to take their word for it. Show us a post, show us something he’s done in his community, anything.
This isn't about Platner. People can find ways to defend him that do not require this intense level of minimization of domestic violence. Twisting a woman's arm. Bruising a woman. Locking a woman in a room. That's domestic violence. It's not toxicity. It's violence.
This conservative journalist is correct. Platner lies in this clip. He says he "makes a living off the sea." He objectively does not. He draws no wages from his business. His only personal income is from VA disability. It's simply a lie.
It's pretty dark to realize that a lot of people didn't care about MeToo at all. I already realized there was backlash. & that some people were pretty performative. I think there were excesses in some cases. It's only now I realize the scope of how much people really didn't care.
