Either Platner's a Nazi or he accidentally got a Nazi tattoo & kept it for almost 20 years, accidentally RT'd a guy who recently proposed a "final solution" for American Jews, & accidentally went on the podcast of a guy who thinks Israel killed JFK. If he's not a Nazi, HE'S EXTREMELY NOT BRIGHT.

The number of leaders in history who have made dumb claims about short wars and been massively wrong…..is very, very, high.

Bet the rate’s even higher for illegal warfare.

I’ve been thinking about this all day and it is so Hunger Games to bet on death, with insider trading no less, it’s hard to fathom.

The only thing Platner loves more than farming oysters is far-right antisemitic conspiracy theorists

Graham Platner sure does have a habit of tripping and falling into "oopsie I did the neo-nazi shit by accident again" doesn't he?

Betting on warfare.
Insider betting no less.

Absolutely soulless.

Praising military heroes?
Fine.
Making the SOTU an extended applaud-the-military moment when planning an attack on Iran?
That was a choice.

Hey folks:

Heather and I will be beaming in at 11:30 this morning on her Facebook page and YouTube channel, and on my YouTube channel.

See you then!

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.

The government illegally took your money.

They won’t give it back.

Republicans’ only policy is destruction. Say “Republicans.” They voted for this. They could stop this destruction at any time.
