If I was Platner I would refuse to Quit.

And you have demonstrated time and again that you have horrible judgement. I recommend that you give serious consideration to trying to do the opposite of whatever it you think you should do.
Like the next time you think I should touch that hot stove, try not touching it

Platner has cancelled all in person upcoming fundraisers and Bernie Sanders has called upon him to drop out.
He's done. Only thing to do now is to make it official.

KY is one of five states where vacant US Senate seats have to be filled by special election instead of appointment by the governor. Their state legislature saw McConnell's failing health and passed that law two years ago to block Andy Beshear from replacing him with a democrat.

Platner is, as the kids say, cooked. He should drop out immediately so the party can officially start the business of selecting a replacement. My recommendation, Troy Jackson. He doesn't have the charisma of Platner but he's a known quantity in Maine politics having served in multiple terms in both the state house and senate. His politics are similar to Platner's so much so that they endorsed each other when Jackson was running for the Democratic primary nomination for governor in the recent election. He lost that one but it was a strange election with Jackson being one of 4 candidates to receive at least 20% of the first place votes in what was a ranked choice election.

I choose to be skeptical of allegations proffered with no actual evidence.

There is evidence. There are communications with her therapist. There are texts and social media posts that supports her claim.

"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 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.

Sometimes I hate being right.

Died for a completely pointless war that the US has lost just so Trump could distract from the Epstein files. Sad.

Just as racist doing racist things. No surprise

I read this:
"He was referring to a sexually transmitted skin infection...

And then I had a "wait...what?" moment when I read this:
"...A vet who treated the cat was also infected."

Then I reread the article and realized the fungus that is the focus of the article is not the same disease as the sexually transmitted skin infection referenced early on.

MAGATS will ignore this thread because they know Trump is a criminal and just don't care.
I think this probably sums up their responses if they would actually post "something, something Hunter Biden."

Does anyone believe the administration had a detailed analysis performed by experts in intelligence to help guide decisions on who could be let go without compromising national security?

DoJ changes olympian with felony for touching something floating in water.
This is the same DoJ that is protecting Trump and his sex trafficking cronies from prosecution.
