It's hard out here for ol' Maine Kampf.
Hatchet wounded warrior.
Appeal to empathy, perhaps a sympathetic vote, or an em-pathetic appeal?
Latest lab grown meat product fares poorly on store shelves.
Does he not see he is being Swalwell’d by the Dems?
Does anyone think he won't win if he stays in the race?
"It was a "pretty dark period' of his life."
Which the Democrats will happily bring to the law-making process.
“Senator Ossoff, do you believe all women? Is toxic masculinity OK, do you support Platner”.
Ossoff, “I want to talk about affordability”
Reporter, “well, we don’t”
Option 1 - he wins next Tuesday (likely). Gop runs on him nationwide.
Option 2 - he loses, but he will get 30% of the vote plus and those who voted for him love him. So, Collins wins by 20 or more. GOP still runs on him and lefties nationwide are pissed at “establishment “ dems. Heard a lefty professor in Virginia this weekend - he says, “we need more Graham Platners”
This is just entertainment at this point.
Most of the stuff he is being accused of is stupid METOO bullshit.
But democrats got their stupid little women weeweed up about how awful men are so they have to take the Communist with NAZI tattoos out.
Democrat voters are the dumbest people on the planet.
worth a repost, IMHO:
The Platner campaign in thirty seconds.
WHAT'S THAT IN THE TRUNK?
Well hes a psycho could go mike tyson munch at any time
You know it's hard out here for a pimp
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent
Because a whole lot of bitches talkin' shit
So the Commies brought “toxic masculinity” into the vernacular and voilà, here we are! Who locks his girlfriend in the bedroom until she calms down? The Nazi from Maine!
Platner is hardly the first would-be politician to discover that you need to start managing your resume years before you declare your candidacy.
You can't brazen your way through just anything.
Unfortunate that the youtube still put the button right over his jaw so thousands of women can enjoy the feeling they're punching him in the face by proxy when they hit "play".
Who puts a lock on the outside of the bedroom?
Seems... premeditated.
When they roll out Chris Hayes to save your candidacy…
Graham Platner’s Alleged Victims Came Forward. The New York Times Fed Them To The Wolves | The Daily Caller https://share.google/quRtuUqkdG5B9rI2j
…this is a guy the Democrats want in office. They might get him…
Who puts a lock on the outside of the bedroom?
Good question. I guess she wasn't the first woman at Graham's house who needed to calm down.
This is what they think of regular veterans remember that dhs dispatch in 2009
The sexual abuse distracts from his position of training terrorist trainer…
And by the way.
E. Jean Carroll and anyone who supports her is a piece of shit because you are all Platner supporters too.
Democrats attacked Platner's accusers.
Democrats are just shitty evil people top to bottom.
He went back to iraq as a contractor in the war he was 'forced' by susan collins right
They want a new Bernie soooo bad.
Apparently Bernie just makes it look easy.
We that guy had rape fantasies this one might actually rape rape
Remember the caro they put matt gaetz for two years
"The Oyster Cracker" (Seen on AoSHQ)
There’s been a major cultural shift accelerated by Trump, where many voters now see scandal coverage as establishment sabotage. These stories are no longer automatically disqualifying.That’s exactly what’s happening in Maine. Voters are brushing it off as a DC issue pushed by the chattering classes and Democratic insiders. They care more about cost of living and Platner’s populist economic message and are prepared to overlook the controversy.
To be clear, Platner is not Donald Trump when it comes to women. This involves consenting adults, as far as we know.
Still, Susan Collins consistently outperforms her polls and will be very hard to beat. Maine’s electorate is older, the average voting age around 52 and many voters, especially women, are turned off by Platner’s issues.
Democrats are running the wrong candidate for the state. Platner’s style might work in deep-red states like West Virginia or Montana, but Maine requires winning back centrist and conservative Democrats who regularly split tickets for Collins. Platner isn’t the candidate who does that.
You see the mountain of vomit the Times threw on them
While they cheered the Carroll nothingburger
If he’s a Senator he’s impossible to prosecute…
‘made man’ untouchable
Well he hasnt even killed someone like the swimmer (so by that standard)
Typical idiot lefty.
And hes a few years from being a Soviet tool

Yeah, I never quite understood the appeal of Sanders to his voters. He had/has the ability to stay on message, and the message was appealing to them, but personally he seemed very off-putting; the accent, the crazy man look, the coldness and lack of humor - I just never got it. Platner, for all of his issues, is different from that.

"not a good boyfriend." He was "self-medicating with alcohol." It was a "pretty dark period' of his life..
and, don't forget; he's talking about last fall.
As someone who served in the Marines as well, you should know that certain units in the Corps have long used Nazi symbolism in logos, etc. the Deathshead and the runic SS have been a part of (for example) the Scout Snipers for a very long time. If you go back to the era when people read books, you can find pictures of it. The Corps didn’t like it, but they also didn’t fully stamp out.
Now I’m not justifying it, nor commenting on it in any way, other than pointing out that it was a fact that you’d find Marines and units using Nazi symbolism well into the 90’s and probably later, when Platner served. It was looked at, in context, much differently than today.
The issue here is less about “is he a Nazi,” and more about having an embarrassing tattoo tgat he won’t just come clean about.
The Democrats threw white working class voters out of their coalition during the Obama years.
They’ve been trying to throw Jews out of their coalition since early during the Biden administration.
And now to save Platner they’re try to dump feminists.
Gonna be a teeny, tiny party when they’re through. Just Bernie, Platner, AOC, and the gullible.

Clinton and Biden supporter has thoughts.
This piece of shit voted for 2 known rapists and the wife of a rapist that persecuted her husband's victims.
And he wants to blame Trump for his complete lack of morality.
You can't make this up. Chuck is just a complete piece of shit in every possible way.
All Platner demonstrates is the complete emptiness and amoral nature of the opposition to Trump.
He presents it as the hero's journey. It's an inspiring story of transformation and redemption. He had the courage to face down those demons, and he has won. Let's not look to the past. Let's look to the future.......Sadly, during a dark period of his life, he lost his way and dated a Republican. Most of his current problems stem from that. As Republicans do, that woman is lying about everything. It goes without saying that those contemporaneous diary entries were forged so there's no need for Hayes to probe deeper.....Let's hope that he didn't text message with some underage Republican. Who knows that lies she'll tell.
platner:
there are NO text messages
those text messages are from a dark time in my life (4 months ago)
there is nothing incriminating in those text messages
those texts messages are from adult women
Platner KNOWS that the women were adults (of course he checked!)
Out, out damned blot.
Fresh troll, this is what he thinks of fighting man
I though that was bulwinkle
Platner supporters lend a whole new relevance to Blue Oyster Cult.
We have reason to fear the reaper (i didnt know the subtext)
Those are the pik text are they
@ Andre 8:26AM
All that's true, but Platner's tattoo is still fair game under the new rules.
Remember the carp they threw at hegseth they have no standards
Remember the carp they threw at hegseth they have no standards
Exactly. Except Hegseth didn't actually have a Nazi tattoo, he wasn't a drunkard, he didn't abuse women. They suggested Hegseth had done those things and then said he was unfit. Platner is on record of doing such things, and no problem because he'll be a reliable Democrat vote to protect their power.
So, he went through a dark period. So what?
THe uniparty wants Planter to drop out, he's another Trump. They want Collins to stay in the Senate, she's their girl.
Again, don't care about people's private lives before they went into politics. What does his "dark period" have to do with what he'll do in the Senate?
The Party subscribed to the Pro-Choice [ethical] religion from its conception. A model of Diversity and political congruence.
Dems: “we need tough working-class veteran guy to win!”
Also Dems: “let’s get an emotionally unstable cosplaying oyster farmer who did a stint in the Marines but hates veterans and makes bad decisions in Eastern European tattoo parlors, because who hasn’t done that!”
Still more Dems: “Let’s have him treat our largest voting block like crap, they all just love a bad boy, as that tattoo thing…it shows support for the oppressed people of Gaza.”
Just keep many tranq guns on stand by
Nazi and self-absorbed
blame the alcohol. He makes the perfect modern democratic.
MS NOW - LOL
"as that tattoo thing…it shows support for the oppressed people of Gaza.”
That will garner him votes.
"long used Nazi symbols"
Sounds like a lie, to me.
the troll skips right past his abuse of women.
RCOCEAN II bizaarly said he...
..don't care about people's private lives before they went into politics..
so, rco? What If, in their private lives.. they were zionists?
or; What If, in their private lives.. they'd had a Bar Mitzvah?
of course; that'd be a little different, wouldn't it?
care to explain HOW?
Lyndsey Fifield is on X
She's been trying to sabotage his candidacy for months, apparently.
"Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo -- and I was terrified that he knew it was me."
"I also knew how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist -- so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out."
She gets asked why she was dating somebody with a Nazi tattoo, which remains a very good question.
as seen on X
"I'm teaching my daughters that feminists and liberal women will NOT support them if they are abused by a left-wing man with any power
They will run the old familiar "you can't believe that bitch" playbook b/c, ultimately, they are religious zealots and their religion is politics"
So he graduated from “not a good boyfriend” to “not a good husband,” and is hoping to move on up to “not a good Senator.” Got it.
The NYT disgusts me.
Andre, Herr Platner didn't join until 2004 IIRC (it was definitely after the Iraq campaign started because he's been slandering Collins for that vote but joined after it) so your claims about 1990s standards don't wash.
Also the Nazi tattoo is far more about the hypocrisy of leftists like low T IEE than Platner per se.
Something I learned today: MS NOW now stands for My Source for News, Opinion, and the World.
This is a really good background on his accuser.

headline
"Graham Platner & Al Qaeda’s Congressman-Elect from New Jersey Are the Consequence of Democrats Failing the “David Duke Test” with Mamdani"
democrats have an Al-Qaeda wing:
"With Democrats rapidly sliding down the most odious of slippery slopes, it does not seem far-fetched for them to soon embrace Sharia law, pogroms, and other once unthinkable “solutions.” It was bad enough when Elizabeth Warren endorsed Graham Planter in March, gushing that he’d ”flip Maine and then actually deliver change for working people.” But after even more awful revelations about Platner, Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer met with the Nazi-loving Democrat and proudly announced that he still supports Platner. The most polite term I can think of to describe Schumer’s action is to call him a kapo. I have Jewish friends who use much harsher language.
There’s more...
Chris Rabb just won the Democrat nomination for a congressional seat in Philadelphia. With no Republican opponent, this anti-semitic “Democrat Socialist of America” will be representing the Democrats in Congress. Rabb has never criticized the Palestinian mass-murder of Jews on October 6, but he refers to the Israeli response as a “genocide.” In response to the Hannukah mass murder of Jews at Australia’s Bondi Beach, Mr. Rabb shared a post on Instagram alleging that the massacre was a “Zionist false flag.” Not a single Democrat member of Congress will condemn Mr. Rabb or declare his unfitness to be a part of their caucus.
And there are still more of these types likely heading to Congress after next November’s election. Darializa Avila Chevalier is running for a congressional seat in New York City. She is endorsed by Mamdani and her positions include eliminating police, eliminating national borders, eliminating free enterprise, and, of course, working to eliminate the state of Israel. She doesn’t specifically articulate an endorsement for the murder of Jews, she just plans to celebrate when Israel and its Jewish inhabitants “suddenly disappear.”
If Democrats had not failed the “David Duke test” with Mamdani, perhaps these elections would have turned out differently. Or maybe not. But the Democrats now have no moral authority to prevent their Al-Qaeda wing from asserting its agenda and taking on leadership roles."
I predict by Labor Day that phustle0331 will be divorced and living in a tent down by a pond in the woods of New Hampshire.
Christopher B, the use of Nazi symbols was extant in the Corps in the ‘90s, but it does not at all mean they weren’t still in 2005, or whatever. I’m betting there were not stamped out until sometime later than that.
But again, I am not justifying it, or really commenting on Platner, other than saying that it is a fact that a certain number of guys, not just in the Marine Corps, got stupid tattoos than to modern eyes are hugely inappropriate. It doesn’t mean he’s not an ass, but it also doesn’t by itself indicate as much as being implied.
If you google “marine scout sniper Nazi symbol” you will find that it was in use in that community at least until 2012.
Again, not justifying it, nor saying it makes Platner a good guy, just saying that it was a different world. And that he should have come clean about it, if it is just a case of stupid military tattoo. It’s not like he’s alone there.
I can understand PTSD after combat, lying to girlfriends, sexting during marriage, but Platner cannot stop lying about his work (he is not an oysterman); he claims to be a communist (which is at least true because he seems to live off others), and his persistence in lying about being who he is not.
But Maine voters are falling for his "working class man" persona and are too foolish to question his ideology, so I guess they'll elect a bad boyfriend to the Senate. How he makes it six years in DC without a sex scandal, we will see.
I wonder how much longer American Jews are going to put up with what's going on in their beloved Democrat Party and more generally across the Left. A liberal Jew of my acquaintance is absolutely convinced a second Holocaust is coming, perpetrated by a Muslim-leftist alliance. I told him that if so, he and his family could find safe haven at my cabin and barn deep in the mountains of Arizona, but I would make them all say "MAGA" as a shibboleth to permit entry.

At least 8 inches or throw it back.
Graham Platner is running the bad boy playbook on the voters of Maine. First he bonded with them, now his true self is being revealed. They’ll probably stick with him, for a while anyway.
If I were a Maine voter, I’d be voting for Janet Mills in the primary. The general would be harder, I might vote for Platner to keep J.D. Vance out of the tiebreaker seat. But if it looked like Republicans would be keeping control of the Senate without Maine, I’d be voting for Janet Mills again.
Manchmal muss man dieses Auge punk.
So a current cover is lots of Marines have similar tattoos. How many would claim they are "shocked just shocked" to discover the ink they carried was a NAZI symbol. I'd suggest a number apcorroboration?
But at least he doesn't have that RACIST cross like the SecDef sports. And, apparently never raised his arm above shoulder level like Musk...that NAZI!
All (D) women nust be obeyed is the new standard? Even with contempoaneous weiting. Even with multiple corraboration? So a witness can not name a time (,even the year!), or the place is "credible, IIRC.Ond who among us does not have recurring dreams of raping, but only in a manly man way someone robbing you.
It is beyond disgusting to watch the high moral claim by the left while they separate the MULTIPLE disqualifying issues with Mr. Toxic Masculinity, 2026.
And Schummer... my God, Schummer.
It doesn't matter if the guy is a Nazi or not. You can say it anyway, like Democrats do with every Republican they go against, so what's the arguing about? Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Pedo.
"I'm TOO AFRAID TO FLY!" Blasey Ford high school bed bounce story did NOT contain EVIDENCE. Hearsay.
the obedient left ate it up.
Democrats ARE pedos.
Colorado is run by one party/ corrupt democrap rule.
ADAMS county is the #1 county in the state for child sex abuse and pedos. .
the democrats do NOTHING.
