This is a bigger deal than I first realized. These public health officials who knew they were involved with creating Covid cut a corrupt deal with @TheDemocrats in which:
1. Democrats in gov’t and media would block any investigation into Covid origins, and
2. The Democratic Party would run the public health response.
Which explains the long list of “interventions” that were illogical and violated basic precepts of public health. E.g., school closures, outdoor gatherings forbidden (but left-wing riots are ok), vaccine mandates (but illegal immigrants are exempt).
Peter Daszak knew his best chance at avoiding consequences over his connections to gain of function research in Wuhan was to tell Tony Fauci that political actions were being taken by “the Right” and could be avoided with “positive outreach to Democrats”
In case you believed Fauci saying science isn’t political, here’s some concrete proof that that was another complete lie
Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better.
I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.
@chriswithans Bob Menendez is one of many examples of Democrat politicians crossing Party leadership and paying a steep price!
He said bad things about mass immigration, so the Party stopped protecting him from prosecution, and now he's spending his 70s in prison alongside his wife.
@AndrewCFollett I expect they'll escalate the disclosures if he hasn't resigned by midday Wednesday, to include prosecutable stuff.
If he pulls out now, he goes back to living well, on disability+family money.
If he doesn't, the Party loves to destroy people that cross it.
@ScottPresler Talarico pretended to be vegan for his local legislative district, did a photo-op with a platter of babyback ribs for his primary (against Crockett), and is about to pivot to a bucket of fried chicken for the general election
@Shawn_Farash For all of the elections and primaries that are rigged by the Democratic Party, the Party is getting wrecked from within by the ones they didn't rig.
Democrat primary voters are nominating insane and awful candidates in every "free and fair" election they hold.
@BrentScher@nytimes@politico@CNN This Racicot/Platner story would be an embarrassment for @nytimes if the publication cared to produce news for the public, instead of just running propaganda for the Democratic Party.
No post-mortem apologies will be written, and nobody will be fired for their conduct here
Today's Platner story was a limited hangout, to get the endorsements pulled; we already knew he's a rapist months ago.
Democrat primary voters apparently like that 🤷
But we did just learn he doesn't pull out, so this week is gonna be 🔥 if he forces further disclosures
You guys will not believe me
But I am being completely serious
There is actually yet ANOTHER INSANE Platner story that is being investigated
And it's because of that Platner said his campaign is currently assessing its "best path forward"
@Sage__Born@unseen1_unseen Oh they haven't given up on winning the seat which is why they launched the op to force Platner's resignation today, 7 days before the deadline.
He'll withdraw tomorrow or Wednesday, or the Dem Machine will go scorched earth on him 🍿
@Shawn_Farash It's ridiculous but this would be allowed; Susan Rice would only need to declare her Maine house as her primary residence by the time of the election in November.

The real lede is that Democrat media had this story months ago and only released it because his odds in November were looking bad:
"Racicot said she was contacted by The New York Times in the spring and shared off the record that Platner had assaulted her"
A woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her.
“I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person," she said of the Maine Dem, who has faced a string of scandals over past offensive online comments and accusations of mistreating women.
Platner responded: "These allegations are troubling, serious, and false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue."

@CynicalPublius The people on the “far right” are leftists because Nazism is a left-wing statist, totalitarian ideology.
Only Nazis and communists see one another as very different
.@POTUS: Yet as we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack. A generation after we fought and won the Cold War against the menace of Communism, there is now a resurgence of the Communist menace in our land—including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life.
These are not mere political disagreements, like differences over taxes or regulations. Communism is a mortal threat to American Liberty. It is the Greatest Threat to our Country including World War One, World War Two, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11.
Because Communism is the enemy of Free People everywhere. It is the enemy of the Constitution. Above all, it is the Enemy of July 4th, 1776.
Even while the Radicals and Extremists attack our incredible history at every turn, they are SILENT on the miserable history of Communism itself. Their system has led to more death and destruction than any system ever tried—it killed 100 million people in the last century.
Communism is the exact opposite of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—it is death, tyranny and the pursuit of evil.
The Godless Communist morality states that anything is justified to bring about the inhuman visions they propose. They have no respect for law, justice, principle, tradition, or your God-given rights.
It is an ideology of mass theft, mass control, mass lies, and mass murder. Such doctrines can be given no quarter in a Democracy, because the first thing they do when they get into power is turn around, and destroy it—just as Communists have done in other countries all over the world.
Very simply, Communism represents the worst ideas and abuses in history by the worst people—the American Founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people.
You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a Communist, or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both.
As for those who would peddle Marxist lies about our heritage—who tell our children that we live on stolen land, or that our heroes were oppressors—they are doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are attacking our future. They are trying to tear down the American Character, to destroy the people who declared Independence, crossed the Delaware, settled the West, and conquered the skies. But we will never let that happen.
Our American Ancestors did not shed their blood at Concord and Trenton, Gettysburg and Shiloh, Midway and Normandy, just so that a band of thieves and radicals could come in and loot and pillage the nation our heroes died to win, build, and save.
So on the eve of this 250th anniversary of American Liberty, we resolve and swear for all to hear that the Citizens of the United States of America will vanquish Communism from our shores, and send it into exile once and for all. America will never be a Communist country!
