Morning Joe put together a supercut of Sen. Blumenthal asking Trump's judicial nominees who won the 2020 election, and each of them refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost

@twitlonsuks @rothschildmd yeah, to mike's point, I get what he's saying about trump snowballing this schtick, but it's kind of like a series of sci fi / fantasy books or shows ppl might love them at first and say they got ridiculous towards the end, but they were always sci fi / fantasy

@rothschildmd @eomrules He was always a liar, conman, and grifter. Always.

It's just impossible to take Trump seriously anymore. From saying he's going to spend two more terms in office to bragging about how good he is at identifying a squirrel on a dementia test. Nothing he says means anything at this point.

The Ballroom was pitched as a project that would not cost taxpayer money. Now, Senate Judiciary Republicans are requesting $1 billion for security features related to it (how much of that $1 b on the ballroom, it doesn't say) grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

@miavonmilk @uncle_authority I think there's a subsect of 'raw' milk enthusiasts that actually boil it first, cuz that's the kind of ppl we're dealing with

@uncle_authority I don't understand these raw milk enthusiasts. My nana had cows and access to raw milk but she'd always boiled it first. Silly crunchy people.

has anybody ever actually bothered to even try to explain what is allegedly so superior about milk that has not been heated to 161°F for 15 seconds prior to distribution?

@uncle_authority oh yeah they have all kinds of reasons

oh it's angel studios nvm I remember seeing some shit about this last yr or w/e but had forgotten the details thought maybe it was a legit movie

looool this is kind of interesting tho cuz it seems the rightwing bullshitters are lining up behind this movie apparently they decided on some kind of bullshit rightwing marketing campaign

@mynerdyhome does she still get paid for that tweet?

She deleted the tweet lmao

@magi_jay 2/ all that said, if I lived in maine and he was the candidate, I'd have to vote for him for obvious reasons

@magi_jay yeah, my belief all along has been he's not an actual nazi, but just a dishonest vapid chud who thinks the aesthetic is cool, and has no prob inking nazi shit on himself you could say that's splitting hairs tbh I think he's more likely a secret tulsi than a secret nazi

"Did Platner know it was a Totenkopf? And, if yes, did he therefore lie in 2025 when he said he had no idea?" Most surely: Yes & yes. Apparently there was a whole thing re: Marine Scout/Snipers ("SS") getting SS (Nazi Tattoos). This story broke in 2012. It was a military scandal. Then, in June, 2020, Platner got in a long debate on reddit about Marines and SS insignia, related to the previous scandal. This is all publicly accessible. Others on the same reddit thread, including at least one self-identified Marine, argued whether or not SS insignia is bad and/or, within the Marine Corps, signals Nazi ideology. The Marine who argued YES, it does signal Naziism, wrote: "The US Marine Corps DOES NOT TOLERATE NAZI SYMBOLISM... The Commandant of the Marine Corps gave orders to stop it, issued an apology, and ordered an investigation." Separately, Platner, who had a Totenkopf on his chest, argued the opposite, while invoking Black Marines. Specifically, a user named SP4CEM4N_SPIFF wrote "I remember this being exposed nearly a decade ago. It's like people claiming the confederate flag isn't about hate," to which Platner replied: "I will be sure to inform the black guys I know with bolts that they're Nazis now and not USMC Scout/Snipers." Here, Platner is directly making the connection between SS tattoos & their intentional use by U.S. Marines (which was previously a scandal), while also doing kind of a "Black person human shield" thing. Note, again, others in the thread are really disgusted by the use of SS insignia & support the military taking strict action. The original thread was about Zachary Sanns, a former Marine who was arrested for impersonating a federal officer at a Las Vegas BLM protest while armed and bearing SS tattoos. Platner was not Scout/Snipers. He was a machine-gun operator. With a Totenkopf. And he recently told everyone, including those in the Democratic Party who support him, that he had no idea what the symbol meant. I think the most galling thing, for me, to read, is that Platner argues with the guy who says "it's like saying the Confederate Flag isn't about hate." It's galling because the guy with the confederate flag comment is right. It's also galling because now we know, for sure, in 2026, that Platner has been through this whole conversation--does your Nazi tattoo mean you're a Nazi?--before. And he's acting completely ignorant of it. 2012 Marine Scout Sniper SS scandal (CNN): cnn.com/2012/02/10/us/… Zachary Sanns - the man the Reddit thread was about (Las Vegas Review-Journal): reviewjournal.com/crime/armed-ma… Full Reddit thread archive: api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/… Platner's "black guys" comment: api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/… SP4CEM4N_SPIFF's comment - what Platner directly replied to: api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/… HughGedic- self-identified Marine arguing SS insignia is Nazi symbolism: api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/… Platner's second comment ("was never a STA guy"): api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/… Original Reddit submission (the post itself): api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/…

how many followers do I need to get paid for these mcd's ad tweets that the for you tab keeps spamming me with??

FOX BUSINESS: The EPA is allowing the extension of gas flaring for natural gas operations, and that some argue is not great for emissions. Can you point to something where you have actually tightened regulations to make sure we have clean air? ZELDIN: So, we, uh, um, on the water space, we increased water quality standards FOX: It's important to note that the Trump administration has loosened regulations on the way wastewater is allowed to be disposed of near critical waterways

@physicsgeek that would prob hit harder if the right hadn't elected trump twice

The guy wearing the SS tattoo is certainly the worst part of this story, but coming in at a close second is the complete lack of shame and standards that the left possesses. You cannot shame them for this because they are incapable shame. And the only things the left actually cares about are the acquisition and wielding of power. That's it. They might make noises about oh people change but it's not like they really care if hey think the person in question will win.

@redsteeze the right once again messaging working class america

Barack Obama's self stated favorite restaurant in New York City was Blue Hill which I've also been to (not cheap!) and you don't even get past the hostess without showing ID to prove your reservation.

I lived in NYC Brooklyn for 12 years. I think I got carded every single time I sat down at a restaurant at a bar because the legal penalties in New York City are so insanely stringent. This is an East Coast "not a democrat I'm a journalist" apparently texting a 15-year-old about not getting carded at any restaurant in Times Square. The Bulwark has become more parodied than Salon.

@McCadeP8 what if the winner of the electoral college killed everyone who didn't vote for him

What if 51% of the population voted to kill the other 49% of the population?

Trump's move to increase military spending from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion is 2-to-1 unpopular, per WaPo-ABC poll. 32% support 65% oppose Even 30% of Republicans oppose it.

@rothschildmd btw when you're watching this shit do you ever think about how wild it is that it's actually trump just doing a presidential character the entire time?

@eomrules He was nowhere near this bad in 2016.

@SkinnyTuna gragas support is right there for you

why are all the supports in league girlypop. when are they adding an enchanter who’s a fat hairy guy

@treeaston loool this dude is gonna be another tulsi, and everybody who supports him will be right back supporting the next one after him

I think Graham will be what many of us hoped Fetterman would be: a guy who comes into the Senate and fucks shit up for good. If he wins (and I hope he does), he’ll have some heterodox positions (which he should!) but I think he’ll be a reliable, thoughtful, and necessary voice.
