Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me vider

@DavidLiskov @magi_jay “Allegations” seems to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Eight years later, has even one been proven true?

@magi_jay Collins voted for the end of national abortion rights by approving Brett Kavanaugh despite multiple allegations of terrible behavior. That's who you seem to be supporting.

In 2019, seven years ago, when he was 34-years-old, Graham Platner logged into reddit and posted a response to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban. Platner wrote: "This video never gets old. Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat." Think about each line. "This video never gets old." Platner's implying he's watched the video several times and enjoys it. "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt." That's what Platner thinks about his fellow Americans at war. If they're not good at killing or broader tactics, he has contempt for them. He displays no empathy. The opposite, in fact. The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety. Daniels was shot four times in this video and, ultimately, earned a Purple Heart. When the video was initially released (2013), Pfc. Daniels was critical of himself in interviews, saying, "It wasn't the most tactically brilliant thing to do." He described that he was embarrassed by the video; that people could hear him screaming for help. But, also, he said: "I put my ass on the line for other guys." Then, we have, again, Graham Platner, logging into reddit, in 2019, to comment: "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live." For all those who say, "That's just how Marines talk," I'll tell you: Platner's comment got downvoted by the military community. Even if it didn't: We're not talking about the military anymore. We're talking about a 34-year-old man, years after service, logging in to mock another man who's being shot on video. We're also talking about the U.S. Senate, not boys-will-be-boys or Marines-will-be-Marines. We're always told to view Platner as a changed man. 2013, when he made the rape apologia comments, was the "darkest point in his life," or so we have been told. So what was going on in 2019, such that Platner enjoyed watching a video of a man getting shot and mocking him? How many arcs of change are there in Platner's life? Was there a specific point where he discovered human empathy? I couldn't help but think of that specific reddit comment while watching the video below. "Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles away from home," Platner says. Didn't he log in to reddit seven years ago to say, "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live" ? I don't like being lied to.

@billboard Maybe having a baby isn’t the best idea for this dude. And perhaps the woman needs to RUN!

@SteveCollinsSJ @grahamformaine @SenatorCollins It’s going to be an ass whoopin’.

Maine's first woman governor suspends her bid for a U.S. Senate seat, setting up a race between Democrat @grahamformaine & @SenatorCollins in the general election. It's going to be a doozy.

@LolaMMaine NGL, did Nazi that coming.

Graham Platner from Connecticut, throwing up what sure looks like a straight-arm salute at his own rally. Coincidence? The same guy who got a Nazi-linked SS style tattoo inked on his chest during his Marine days and then scrambled to cover it up when it surfaced. The elite Hotchkiss prep school alum from Connecticut playing the “working class Maine oysterman” while clearly auditioning for bigger things in DC. Maine doesn’t need imported drama or hidden symbols from out of state. Pack up the act, Graham and do us all a favor and head back to Connecticut where you actually have roots. We’ve seen enough red flags. @grahamformaine

@TheMaineWire Always with the pouncing!

"Critics pounce"

@JebraFaushay He’s auditioning for The View.

Imagine paying $850 for general admission standing-room only seats for a Bruce Springsteen concert? And then he gets up there and just lectures you about how much he hates Trump? Was that a mention of the new world order?

@SteveRob Someone has to find employment for Crash Barry!

Maine is a mafia state. If you oppose the corrupt power structure, the State will send swarms of agents to ruin you. This is not the way life should be.

@WGME They/them shot themselves?

@unquirer Her Indian name is “she who skips salad bar”.

Black Lady - "I'm tired of you white mother ****ers!" Portland Maine Bus Stop Lady goes on angry tirade in front of children, screaming about white people, slavery, and how she is part Native America. They ask her to stop swearing in front of the kids which triggers her more. The media and education pushing identity politics and oppressor/oppressed narrative nonstop causes this insane hatred - which is exactly what the Left wants when the organize us by 'identities'. @ryan_tinsman has sparked a new trend where Mainers film the bus stops in Portland Maine.

@unquirer Wow, @blackgirlinmain has put on weight!

@WGME The old snaggle tooth hag said what now?

@nirav_maine So much for “diversity makes us stronger” I guess.

This Women’s History Month, I want to recognize and celebrate our all-women campaign staff. This all-women team leads with intelligence, discipline, creativity, and grit. They are strategists, builders, problem-solvers, and decision-makers — and I’m deeply grateful for the expertise and commitment they bring to this work every single day. Happy Women’s History Month, Maine!
