The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

1. that's not how this works

2. this is, like, six hours of pay

3. this is clearly Trump trying to message to the military that they are his personal army and reliant on his largesse

4. they're probably lying about this donation even existing

5. that's really not how any of this works!

New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Great. So now Platner got a Hydra tattoo.

In this photo provided by WGME, Graham Platner, a democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, shows a cover-up tattoo that had previously been an image recognized as a Nazi symbol

In my own critical toolbox "Doing a Zhukov" is knowing you have an important character you have to enter late into the plot, so you have to make them walk in and shrug their enormous coat off so everyone knows it and falls instantly in love.

This is the abhorrently unethical man who served Trump and got rewarded with an appeals court seat. Democrats should begin impeachment proceedings against him the moment they are able to do so.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

Moral of the story: If you don’t want Trump to send the military into the streets of your city, have a tech bro billionaire call him.

While Donald Trump is gutting the East Wing and buying private jets for his cabinet, Americans are getting slammed with skyrocketing insurance prices.

It’s time for House Republicans to come back from their vacation so we can reopen the government and address the health care crisis they created.
