I’m not saying Graham Platner should or shouldn’t be a candidate for a Senate seat, but I am saying that the media’s treatment of Platner as compared to its treatment of Ken Paxton is the same as the media’s treatment of Joe Biden as compared to its treatment of Donald Trump. The media bolsters the MAGA narrative that there’s never a decent Democrat nor an indecent MAGA Republican.
Ossoff: "If we want to stop these spectacularly incompetent, loyalist nominees from getting confirmed in the Senate, we're going to have to stop relying on a few Republican senators to suddenly discover their courage and integrity. We're going to have to win the majority."
@YarrowGrace This ISNT because of illegals. It’s because of REPUBLICANS rolling back inspections, regulations, and agriculture control in favor of profits and making it easy for farmers to cut corners in the name of the almighty dollar. You people are so dense.
Not sure I will ever get used to how casually powerful people baselessly seed suspicion about our elections like this.
Call California ridiculously slow, by all means. But this goes well beyond that.
@jlhulsman@HQNewsNow Remember when the Clintons invested in a real estate development that turned out to be a scam and lost all their money and the media and GOP treated them like criminals for it?
Collins here underscoring the case for Platner, she can't give a simple "no way" to an obviously unsuitable Trump nominee — a guy who has zero qualification for the job other than his demonstrated willingness at FHFA to engage in abuses of power.
@mlezcar@ChristineX2024@jeremymbarr This is so lazy and stupid. If you have a problem with this then you’ll really have a problem with their editing of Trump’s idiotic ramblings.
