Graham Platner ends Maine Senate campaign after sexual assault allegation
www.msn.com

... Democratic nominee Graham Platner said he would suspend his campaign for Senate in Maine, ending a run that had drawn broad grassroots support but was plagued by controversy.

Platner announced his exit in a video Wednesday night, in which he blamed the media and political establishment for acting as "judge, jury and executioner" and continued to fiercely deny the allegations against him.

"We are suspending campaign operations," said Platner, who added that he would file paperwork to officially withdraw from the race, giving the party the ability to put a new name on the ballot. ...


As usual Clownshack covers it aptly.

Gov Andy Beshear's letter was a publicity stunt to embarass the Republicans. This so-called "leader" can deploy this comely lass and her partner to ascertain the facts about "Moscow" Mitch: Kentucky's "Columbo".

Gov Andy Beshear (D-KY) is a sniveling, mealy-mouthed opportunist.

"Gov. Andy Beshear declined to label Israel's actions in Gaza as "genocide," instead critiquing the question as a litmus test among Democrats.

"That's becoming one of those new litmus tests that we said we would never do as a party again."

Being against killing people is a "litmus test" for Democrats and him.

No moral compass.

Additionally, the official said residents in one of the evacuated buildings, 222 East 44th, have been told it is safe to return.

"We are continuing to evaluate and determine additional buildings that had been evacuated that can be repopulated," the official said. ...

The high-rise at 235 E. 42nd St., on the corner of East 42nd Street and Second Avenue, is a 1970s-era office building being converted into luxury apartments. The former global headquarters of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is located in a busy corridor about a block from the landmark Chrysler Building and between Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations headquarters.

Around 8 a.m., construction workers noticed cracks inside the building. The FDNY say the workers spotted structural support columns beginning to buckle on the 21st and 22nd floors and self-evacuated. ...

This website advises what these billions of dollars wasted in this Islamophobic misadventure in the Middle East could have paid for in the US.

For example, 10,500,000 homeless people in America could be housed for one year.

So, let's enjoy austerity and the effects of the BBB together.

"...more American Jews approve of Zohran Mamdani (D) than of Benjamin Netanyahu (D and R-USA)."

"To be a Jew is to always side with the oppressed, never the oppressor."


I know someone who got jammed up. I did my best with an email to the Manhattan ADA, but interfering with the justice system is a felony, so my entreaty merely became a datapoint for the NYC Probation Dept which wrote the PSI.

Ultimately my friend received probation for the "offense."

The oligarchs and AIPAC are spending a fortune to beat Graham Platner in Maine.


So, with all their pelf to hire PIs to scour Maine, the Republicans finally found someone willing to testify or perjure herself against the Democratic candidate: Where was this comely lass for the past five years?
