Trump guarantees Lewis-George's victory.

Off paper he's still a boorish manchild who is disliked by his own kids.

Griffin allegedly posted multiple messages to his social media account directed to the disc golf company, demanding tens of thousands of dollars and making threats towards the employees.

Is that illegal? Donald Trump uses social media for the same thing. He targets media outlets, the government and private citizens with his posts. This diskhead's tweets actually sound a lot like trump's. Better spelling and grammar than MAGAT Supreme though

How many of those who approve also approve of him profiting off the event by selling $12,000 coins that he claims are made with 1oz of gold?

He constantly hurls invective so he receives in kind responses.

That's a classic self-retorting retort.

Your so-called rebuttals are always personal with nothing substantive. Every fricking time. It's all you have.

That coming from a poster who frequently makes homophobic comments about truckers that sound as if they were lifted from some two-bit act they pulled off the street to kill time at a comedy club in Omaha in 1973 because Gene Tracy was running late. That from a poster who is so stupid that they think that implying someone is gay is supposed to be an insult as if there is something wrong with being gay.

The more I hear about this guy the less I like him.
Don't we have enough Killers in government already.
Maybe he isn't all that, interesting after all.

Just yesterday you calendar me a snob because I expect Senate candidates to exhibit integrity and leadership qualities

What happened to "I just don't see any of your complaints about him as Disqualifying in light of Fetterman, Trump, Miss Lindsey etc.

There is nothing "working class" about Platner.

How would you describe a marine sergeant, college dropout who is running a failing business, married to an elementary school art teacher and has a net worth of $300K, over half of which is based on his home? Is he secretly part of the east coast ivory tower elite?

Platner has a Nazi tattoo.

You should love him them because you support Nazis. You vote for them.

Prior allegations of sexual assault and domestic abuse are serious.. By your logic there will be more. Imo he might gain populist support for disclosing everything.

I want to be clear, I'm not aware of assault or abuse allegations that have been made against him but based on reports of his past behavior I will not be surprised if some surface.

#2 - ICE disarms armed protestors and murders them in the street in front of cameras.

Of course Trump won't deliver justice. He's a felon who had pardoned his criminal conspirators.
In order to deliver justice in the case of Epstein, Trump would have to prosecute himself.

You're worried about a little tattoo.
Trump Raped Kids.
The GOP routinely elects Psychopaths.
Gimme a Break.

The tattoo is just one of the many red flags so I guess you didn't you bother to read what I wrote.

You've shown time and again that your judgement is not to be trusted. If you trust Platner then that is not a good sign to me because other people you've trusted include Putin and Trump. You trusted him so much that you voted for him at least once.

Trump is horrible but that doesn't mean that Platner is a good choice. I look at his record and I see a guy who has said and done a lot of highly questionable things in his life. I see a guy who strikes me a liar and his been called out by others close to him as being such. I see a guy who reminds me a lot of Markwayne Mullin, Pete Hegseth, Lauren Boebert and a bunch of other unqualified officials who have track records of treating others like garbage but MAGATS have elevated to powerful positions anyway.
Platner's politics may be different than them but simply expressing some liberal views is not sufficient to me. You have to prove to me you are a person who can get things done and Platner has never done that. He's not even able to support himself financially without relying on income from his mom and his disability payment.

What attributes does anyone see in him that they can point to and say this person should hold one of the most powerful jobs in the country?

ICE lies. No reason to believe them. Conduct a full audit of their systems and those of any third party they integrate with.

It's nice of Johnson to record Democratic campaign ads.

Here's what I predict happens. Platner had no real opposition in his race. I suspect he has many dirty secrets still buried or not fully exposed. The GOP is going to pour a ton of money into this race and dig up all that dirt. They are going to find more about the controversies that already follow him such as that nazi tattoo, his views on police, abuse victims, women, lies told about his military service and who knows what else he has hidden. They will find all the dumb stuff he has said on the internet and he's going to spend much of his campaign apologizing and blaming it on PTSD. I won't be surprised to see allegations of domestic abuse and sexual assault surface. GOP voters have shown they are willing to overlook horrible behavior, criminal even, but I we are going to end up learning things about Platner that is going to result in a lot of democrats turning their backs on him.

Maine Democrats screwed this one up even if Platner ends up winning the seat. He is not a man to be trusted. I'd vote 3rd party for Senate in the general election if I were a Maine voters.

Donald Trump lied because that's all he knows how to do. Why his supporters believed him is something I will never understand.

Imagine if Roosevelt would have declared "Total and complete victory. 100 percent" after the Battle of Midway. What if after Guadalcanal he declared "We Won". What would such false proclamations of victory done to the rest of the war effort? How disheartened would our military have been if they heard the President make such statements only then to receive orders to prepare for the D-Day invasion?

"You're really gonna win this over the next two weeks when we declare total victory. It'll be a total victory, it will happen very soon, and oil prices will come tumbling down" - Donald Trump June 8

Of course Trump also declared the US had achieved "Total and complete victory. 100 percent. No question about it" on April 7.

That was only after he said "Let me tell you, we've won. You know, you never like to say too early you won. We won. We won the -- in the first hour, it was over" on March 11.

I originally read about this attack in a report from an Israeli news source but it made no mention of the fact Israel had attacked Beirut earlier in the day.

Does the DoJ still actually prosecute anyone? Seems like all I hear about them anymore is how they losing deportation cases, failing to get indictments and having cases tossed due to malicious prosecution.
How many criminals are walking free due to the purge of competent federal law enforcement officials?

Both protests were financed by same NGOs.

#8 | Posted by visitor_

Which NGO's? I'm thinking about semi-retirement and getting paid to protest sounds like a good way to make some money while I meet some people and travel. Where can I apply?

MAGATS hate free speech!

Just another example of how DOGE has been terrible for America. Trump axed the screwworm containment and monitoring program in early 2025 just days before he lifted suspension on cattle imports from Mexico.
