"One Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s knee was on his neck, another’s was grinding his back. Drenched with tear gas and pepper spray, George Retes might have wished that his 137 pounds were back in Kirkuk, Iraq, one of his Army deployments. Here's a glimpse of your tax dollars at work."

"It's not inherently evil to own another human being."

That’s what a right-wing podcaster tied to Pete Hegseth’s church told his followers—while claiming the Bible defends slavery.

The point is what to do with people like Platner. There will be more of them. Banish? Vote for them? Not up to me yet. What do they do to prove they aren’t too broken? Like the person who posted the ICP guy trying to do better, a path back. I cursed Platner not you, but take it how you want to.

Did I say he deserved to be elected? No. That’s going to be up to people in Maine to decide if they trust this fucking guy. We will have to reckon with the GOP and their Jr Nazis eventually too.

I’m not a voter in Maine but I did know a lot of messed up enlisted guys with terrible takes and unfortunate tattoos. What is the path back for the ones who want to change? Platner won’t be alone, looking at young GOP, do they get to change or are they stuck? Trust has to be earned for sure…

Having a path back is one thing if he regrets it. He needs to do the work to make people believe the change before running for office. No nazis is a good line to stand firm upon.

Town Eccentric @towneccentric.bsky.social · 2d

I’d say Maine could do better but then I look at Susan Collins. Platner needs a path back to the good side if he has changed but he doesn’t need to be in office at this time.

Nothing has ever made me want to lie down and possibly take up smoking again more than that post. I can stare into the abyss like a MFr. I can do it from a chaise lounge. I’ll fight you with my EYES. Wait. Too much effort.

I’ve known some stupid marines. Plenty of racist ones. It’s a bad combination.

Town Eccentric @towneccentric.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t understand how his unit let him have that particular tattoo at that particular time. Marines can be stupid, racist and make bad decisions but someone in the chain should have shut that shit down. I’d also argue these guys need a path back to the light but they need to do the hard work.

Hopefully those are state charges or he will get another pardon. Racist running wild.

Why not call it what it was? The AI video was the president taking a shit upon Americans who don’t agree with him.
