@TheFP Elections need to be on the up and up, and people need to believe they are on the up and up. Losing one of those principles is enough to destroy elections. I don’t know why places like California ignore the second part. It’s just as important!

@mkhammer I’m a sucker for old Americana. That place looks like my dream diner. Right out of a White Mountain puzzle.

It is ABSOLUTELY amazing that they tried to end Hegseth’s nomination over an overtly and socially acceptable Christian tattoo by calling it Nazi symbolism but actively pretend that an actual Nazi tattoo is nbd.

*Amazing but not surprising.

On the eighth anniversary of the Kavanaugh nomination, it now appears that there are some women who are not to be believed . . . when the Senate may be in the balance. https://t.co/yRyfjcUbXz

What the actual fuck

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

The official body representing Muslim police officers in Britain has defended Hamas against “unverified stories about acts of violence”.

A policy paper by the National Association of Muslim Police also describes the IDF as a “Zionist terrorist group” and brands Zionism as “one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred”.

@SamanthaNiblet4 It’s not polite to lie to people.

[Daniel @dbweinger]

@CryptVanWinkle @Legal_Fil The problem is that even if the vote is legit a huge swath of people won’t believe it because the votes are trickling in. This is no way to run an election.
People have to believe the election is on the up and up; just as important as the election actually being on the up and up

[Daniel @dbweinger]

@Palgorythmic @RabbiPoupko You have to be purposefully ignorant to not know that Hamas and Hezbollah are Iran.

Ok dude

@asymmetricinfo @ColbyBadhwar And don’t judge me you rich brat, I’ve faced plenty of violence including having bones fractured by people.

[Daniel @dbweinger]

@ZaidJilani @asymmetricinfo Platner is accused of assault and battery. Potentially false imprisonment! What is with this dumbfuck statement from you?

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.

[David Harsanyi @davidharsanyi]

Every prog who dismisses the Platner story in the Times believed that insane dog-raping-prisoners story. You start to get the sense some of them like Platner *because* of the Nazi tat.

[T. Becket Adams @BecketAdams]

The CBS tantrums are even funnier when you remember they’re not in reaction to some fringe right-winger, but a lesbian Obama-Democrat.

@mikepratt @JoeConchaTV If you yell at your boss, you’re probably going to get fired. Pretty simple concept.
