My reference to Fetterman had nothing to do w whether or not Platner ageees or disagrees with him, but that Fetterman was problematic from the very start, people warned about him, but he was your progressive great white hope and people woudn’t listen. THAT’S the analogy I’m making w Platner.

Nah, I’m good. I’m far more interested in why he joined in the first place. Being a mercenary is a mindset, a worldview. It can go dormant, but it never goes away.

Maybe you should take a look at the trajectory of John Fetterman before walking into the same trap.

Been saying for a minute now: when booking guests since 2020, if news producers had asked “Did Biden win the election fair and square?” and then simply refused to platform anyone who couldn’t/wouldn’t answer “yes” to
this simple question, we might not be here today.

Good on George here though.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Aren’t you a former Blackwater dude?

If that doesn’t suggest “I’m basically okay with shadowy secret police” I don’t know what does.

That point in the future will almost certainly come after Trump is out of office and a Democratic president occupies it. At which time, the ruling will be voluminous, the reasoning nonsensical, and will definitively limit the scope of his or her powers.

Yeah, that soldier at the teletype machine that looked like a very young Leonard Nimoy WAS Leonard Nimoy. #Svengoolie

I don’t care what she says. I’m only interested in how she votes. Lucky for her she’s not having to do that right now.

“I’d like to be as happy as the Palestinian people in Gaza are right now but I can’t” pretty much sums up everything you need to know about these people.

I’m skeptical this ceasefire will hold as much as anyone but if you can’t allow the Palestinians joy, however temporary, you ain’t on their side

The campgrounds that could accommodate that monstrosity are probably limited, and you’d better have enough land to store it on when you’re not camping. Oh, and a $100,000+ truck to tow it.
