The IDF put this man in jail, disciplined several others involved, and replaced the statue immediately, you anti-Semitic moron.

How many US soldiers diedbfrom Spanish Flu in WW1 because there was no vaccine for it?

I'm hoping the three debates with Mills will make my fellow Mane Dems rethink.

"I don't recognize myself" which he says a lot, really doesn't mean the same as I have grown since then.

@richwilkinspa.bsky.social has been writing about "Crooksy" for the past year.

A few years ago I said to a friend who still follows progressive music "isn't it ironic that 'progressive' music sounds pretty much the same as it did in the 70s?"
"Yeah that's why we call it 'prog' now; we know it's not really progressive any more.

These guys aren't progressive, they're prog.

I have said for decades that the far left and far right both share the same goal: total control of society.

I wish I was.

They're True Believers. They will dislocate a shoulder twisting their way out of responsibility for it.

They knew their choice would have no direct effect on them, so they're ok with it.

Which is creating a conflict of interest with Progressives' generally anti-war stance. The largest union in the State of Maine (besides state employees) is Bath Iron Works, a major shipbuilding contractor for the US Navy.

Janet Mills isn't taking AIPAC money. Even TrackAIPAC won't say so. They just claim that she takes "pro Israel lobby" money. With no explanation. But her FEC filings show people named Abramson and Cohen on her donor list so that must be it right?

In this particular race, they could not find any evidence that Platner's opponent took AiPAC money, so instead they gave Janet Mills a red card for taking money from "pro Israel lobbyists". How did they know this? Presumably it's because she has donors with Jewish sounding names on her FEC filings.

Well, being at the end of the horseshoe, they are closer to each other than they are to the mainstream.

And note that she didn't name Tulsi, and Tulsi started shouting "AM NOT, AND YOU'RE A WARMONGER!" ecev before the staffer went on record that she was talking about Tulsi.

Hit dogs do holler.

Nope. You made the claim, it's on you to support it.

That he tried to laugh it off and joke about not being "a secrtet Nazi" and calling critics "reatarded" is a pretty strong tell that he knew exactly what it was. What he actually just found out in August was that anyone would find it offensive and not the ironic, edgy joke he thought it was.

I am far from a "moral purist." But no one except the blindly loyal is "getting over" not just the nazi tattoo, but the clear fact that he's lying about when he found out what it meant. It is simply not credible that he only found out in August that it was a Nazi tattoo.

Democrats who have "gotten over" Platner's badly covered totenkopf can STFU about Hegseth's white nationalist tattoos.

And what is most dismaying is how many of those responses come from the "progressive" left.

Graham Platner and the Military-Industrial Complex The political gains and risks of Platner’s commitment to an arms buildup

Graham Platner’s platform embraces increased spending for U.S. military equipment even as he presents himself as a full-throated pro-peace progressive. In doing so, he’s bought into the politics of the military-industrial complex. open.substack.com/pub/amyfried...

In short, the "working class hero" who is Maines progressive saviour isn't so progressive after all. He's just another politician

I feel like it's a cynical effort to throw bone to the BIW unions, since BIW is the largest union shop in the state. It is also a bone to Maine having proportionately larger veteran population than most states.

But it sure does go against the populist leftist notion of shrinking the military.

Never used grubhub or doordash or any others. I want it, I go get it myself.

What a releif there there is one liberal publication that hasn't fallen under Platner's spell.

At least Fetterman had government experience.

Same. I was expecting him to declare defiance and then stage a coup.

A man coming from privilege does not automagically become "working class" when he takes on a blue collar job.

Some would call it slumming.

Saying it to a reporter is not in private.

Which means he still doesn't understand the impact of his words.
