Meet Graham Platner:
Every military unit has one. Graham’s the living legend of every squad bay from Ramadi to wherever the hell else he rotated through.
While the rest of the platoon was wiring money home to the wife, fixing the truck, or pretending to save for that mythical “house,” Platner was the guy who treated his entire paycheck like a two-day liberty pass in Bangkok.
First and fifteenth? Straight to the ATM, then straight to the bar. Beers for the whole damn platoon (until the tab hit four figures), followed by the kind of “romantic investments” that left him broke, hungover, and explaining to the First Sergeant why his dress blues smelled like regret and regret’s cheaper cousin.
Other Marines came home with stories of valor. Graham came home with stories, a new tattoo he “doesn’t remember getting,” and the financial stability of a Somali pirate on shore leave.
Now he’s running for Senate as the working man’s champion.
Brother, the only thing you’ve ever championed is happy hour and poor decisions. The oyster farm must be doing real well to launder all those years of “supporting local talent.”
Semper Fi, you magnificent degenerate. Just don’t check your campaign finance reports for “entertainment expenses.”
@SomeBitchIIKnow@AwakenedOutlaw The spandex mafia at work again. Guarantee this guy is either an attorney or a consultant of some kind. The Reflection Pool is the largest most accessible/visible monument in DC, its beauty is an immediate TDS trigger!!
@CynicalPublius Feel the EXACT same way about GWB, the loud voice against Trump basically outed him for what he really was..a Skull & Bones deep state plant.
Today on June 18, 2026, President Trump will award the Medal of Honor to retired US Army Green Beret Major Nicholas Dockery for his actions in Afghanistan, 2012.
On 2 October 2012, Lieutenant Dockery’s element of Afghan and US forces was ambushed by a large group of Taliban fighters who engaged the platoon with rifle, machine gun and RPG fire.
In contact, Dockery moved back and forth several times over open ground attempting to rally and reinforce the Afghan units with his own small element. Hearing that one of his Soldiers was wounded, Dockery moved inside a courtyard to defend the small isolated group of US Soldiers.
He assaulted into the next room, killing one enemy fighter. Surrounded by more enemy fighters, Dockery rallied the remaining 4 US Soldiers and continued to defend the courtyard.
As the enemy continued their assault, RPG and grenade blasts suppressed the fire team. Attempting to regain the momentum, Dockery led a counter attack to clear the courtyard, using his body to shield a Soldier from an enemy grenade explosion.
The enemy again attacked the compound with 10 additional fighters. RPG fire and grenades wounded the entire element and destroyed the last covered position of Dockery’s team.
Noticing that one of his NCOs was missing, Dockery moved into a nearby alley and found 2 enemy fighters dragging away an unconscious US Soldier. He assaulted the two fighters and killed them both in close combat, and then began CPR and first aid on the Soldier, ultimately saving his life.
Dockery then moved to the roof of the compound, still under enemy fire, and fired smoke grenades to mark his position for friendly helicopter gunships to suppress the remaining enemy.
Dockery continued serving after his deployment, earning the Green Beret and leading Special Forces teams in some of the military's most demanding assignments.
@johnnymoira_ Yes, I agree. Most Democrats condoned the act of gun violence. I’m glad you agree with me. Now please list all of the left wingers that have been assassinated because a right winger objected to their politics. You can’t. Because there aren’t any.
@Mr_Husky1@whatgives9 Aside from the fact he is 100x the actor, Kurt Russell just owned Clooney here with a very simple and well thought out response. Well done.
Yeah great idea. Instead of Elon employing hundreds of thousands of people, turning blue collar workers into millionaires, sending reusable rockets into space, providing internet to third world countries, helping paralyzed people walk and providing a free speech platform for everyone - we could fund a whole new way for foreign criminals to scam us!
I am not an economist or math genius, but I think deporting 15 million illegal aliens and fake refugees would probably lead to:
1) higher wages for people in the bottom 50% of income
2) apartment rental prices would probably go down.
The left is constantly chirping about inclusion and diversity, the World Cup certainly is diverse but the underlying theme is national pride. That’s the ironic truth, a month celebrating separate cultures , national identity & honor and above all joy of a game. It’s like kryptonite against the liberals collective misery.
