Homosexual Jewish Toucan

@NastyOldWomynII @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico @J_Insider This is published in a second rate rag like @J_Insider because a serious outlet like Politico understands that the claim of a single anonymous source who describes themself as a “former acquaintance” does not rise to the basic level of journalism to make it to print

@VeryGayToucan @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico It is not, but you’re desperate to excuse this guy! From the @J_Insider in October 2025: jewishinsider.com/2025/10/graham…

Sigh...what great headlines to have the Dem party associated with. Absolute trainwreck.

@NastyOldWomynII @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico Yes and they didn’t identify his tattoo as such because it’s obscure AF

@VeryGayToucan @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico I did not. In 2009, the USMC adhered to DoD Instruction 1325.06, which established policies for handling extremist activities among military members, prohibiting “active participation” in extremist activities, which included the display of extremist symbols, including Nazi ones.

@strappyshoe @NastyOldWomynII @Wilson__Valdez @politico Platner does have a sleeve. And he got it after 2007

@NastyOldWomynII @VeryGayToucan @Wilson__Valdez @politico One, I dont think Platner has a sleeve. Two, the Marine Corps tattoo policy carves out an exception for reenlistees who go the sleeve pre- 2007.

@NastyOldWomynII @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico You just made that up entirely. There is no reporting anywhere that suggests he was prevented from reenlisting because of that particularly symbol. Also, "totenkopf" refers to essentially any skull and bones, not that specific one

@VeryGayToucan @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico No, Platner counted on gullible fools like you not knowing that Totenkopf tattoos were also banned, so he didn’t admit it. He also lied in that same profile about the number of Iraq tours he did, again counting on gullible fools who wouldn’t check his record.

@MTzadoq @SriouslyUnsrius @Joe_Roberts01 If you honestly claim to have been able to identify the specific variant of the skull and bones symbol used by the SS before this story broke, you are almost certainly lying

@VeryGayToucan @SriouslyUnsrius @Joe_Roberts01

There are moments when politics tests whether our principles are real. Graham Platner’s tattoo is one of them. Democrats cannot ask Americans to take extremism seriously while asking Jews to look away when Nazi imagery appears on our own side. No victory is worth that. My latest, link in replies 👇

@shawnjackson79 @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez The term "totenkopf" does not refer to the specific symbol he has. Other symbols that are referred to as a "totenkopf" are not associated with the Nazis And Platner didn't get a swastika, so the question on that other point is moot

@VeryGayToucan @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez He’s not either one of those, so that excuse doesn’t work either. Lmao. How are you this bad? It does have a name. It’s in the link you shared?

@FearInherent @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez Sure, and? He didn't get a swastika tattoo

@VeryGayToucan @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez Im talking about white men. White american history buffs. People running for US congress.

@shawnjackson79 @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez If I thought he was a Nazi, I wouldn't be defending him

@VeryGayToucan @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez The fact that you’re claiming to be Jewish, yet still going hard to try to defend this Nazi is EXACTLY why. A lot of yall identify with Whiteness before anything else.

@FearInherent @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez And you think Platner was trying to fool people on a random Reddit post? Like he's some sort of crypto-fascist but was trying to deceive a few people on a random thread?? Make it make sense

@VeryGayToucan @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez They literally called themselves national socialists because they know people are stupid and would think they were socialists

@shawnjackson79 @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez We are arguing about whether or not he knew it was associated with the Nazis. The fact that there's no term for it is further evidence that it's extremely obscure. This is exactly the kind of bullshit arbitrary purity test that we can't afford

@VeryGayToucan @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez Dude, HE HAS THE TATTOO ON HIS CHEST! It doesn’t matter how many symbols the term encompasses.

@NastyOldWomynII @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez @politico Those were over his sleeve tattoos, not his chest tattoo

@VeryGayToucan @strappyshoe @Wilson__Valdez It occurred in 2009, not 2007. He admitted the reenlistment rejection in the @politico profile. politico.com/news/magazine/…

@FearInherent @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez People in South and South East Asia absolutely would get a swastika tattoo for religious or cultural reasons but, regardless, everyone knows what a swastika looks like. This particular version of a totenkopf (which doesn't even have a name) is not well known

@VeryGayToucan @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez The swastika wasn't exclusively used by the nazis either but no one would get a swastika tattoo unless they were a nazi

@shawnjackson79 @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez Fetterman is a huge disappointment, but his positions on Israel are consistent with how he campaigned in 2022 and he still votes with Democrats 91% of the time

@VeryGayToucan @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez Like how profound Fetterman is right now? Lmao

@FearInherent @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez If that idiot with a (covered up) Nazi tattoo blocks federal judges that will strip away rights from people, then yes, it makes a huge difference

@VeryGayToucan @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez Not if that 51st is an idiot with a nazi tattoo

@shawnjackson79 @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez There is a vulnerable Democratic congressional seat in Maine that he could've challenged if he were really a Republican. What kind of Republican/Nazi self identifies as a "communist?"

@VeryGayToucan @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez Because he would lose to Susan Collins and a lot of White men in the Democratic Party are racist and fine with nazis, like yourself.

@MTzadoq @SriouslyUnsrius @Joe_Roberts01 "All the world know its an SS Death Squad symbol" Just no. I had never heard of it myself, and I'm also a self described history buff

@VeryGayToucan @SriouslyUnsrius @Joe_Roberts01 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the world knows its an SS Death Squad symbol, but not the guy who got it indelliby etched in his chest. If you truly believe that I have some very nice ocean front property in Arizona and a couple of bridges I'd like to sell you.

@shawnjackson79 @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez Yes. I shared that source to indicate that "totenkopf" does not refer to his specific symbol and that the term is not exclusively used to refer to the SS iconography

@VeryGayToucan @FearInherent @Wilson__Valdez Ok. Fine, since you want accuracy. He has the second one, obviously. Still from YOUR OWN SOURCE.

@ProfBrettWilson @Wilson__Valdez Yes and it's small and hard to distinguish from other skull and bones

@VeryGayToucan @Wilson__Valdez I mean it's pinned to their hats but OK

Three statements of fact here in defense of this guy and every single one of them is just complete bullshit. "Lifelong progressive" - wrong, he was a multiple times Susan Collins voter "Obscure Nazi tattoo" - wrong and even wronger when you factor in his background as a WWII buff "Credibly claims to not have been aware of" - wrong wrong wrong Just amazing.

@MyEnthusiasmCb1 @rachelewis3 @Cynthior1 @Wilson__Valdez Common sense: the self proclaimed communist claims he didn't know the tattoo was associated with the Nazis, and he is likely telling the truth

@VeryGayToucan @rachelewis3 @Cynthior1 @Wilson__Valdez common sense: the self proclaimed communist has a nazi tattoo. does the truth hurt your feelings?

@FearInherent @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez Well I'm glad you don't live in Maine then. Because the difference between 50 vs 51 Democratic senators will have profound implications for Americans for years to come

@VeryGayToucan @shawnjackson79 @Wilson__Valdez Honestly? If I lived in Maine I wouldn't vote for either. I dont trust him. I dont think he actually cares about his talking points and if he did I dont think he knows how to enact any of it. He scares me way fucking more than old ass Collins
