25.10.2025 01:17 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The most recent, and arguably the most in-depth and interesting, article about Graham Platner, his past, and the tattoo controversy. Sums up and refers to a lot of the other articles.
I urge reading through it all before jumping online to quote bits.

17% of ICE recruits fail written test after trying (with moderate success) to eat pencil
28%(!) of ICE recruits fail to make it up the steps of building to take test due to lack of cardio endurance
4% of ICE recruits were rejected after attempting to zip tie proctor
I'm an architect and can say that indeed plans do change, sometimes dramatically But the news media should not be fooled that plans changed re the East Wing - it's complete demolition has always been in the works. Trump is lying - again

This anonymous account in a publication which opposes Platner has not been corroborated there or anywhere else. It has zero credibility.

23.10.2025 02:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Of course Graham knew about the tattoo's meaning - that is why he covered it. Genevieve flat out refuses to answer WHEN she knew that he knew. She had many issues with the campaign. There seems to be a great deal of bad feeling between them at this point, but it is not very relevant going forward.

23.10.2025 02:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So what is your point? Do you think Graham walked in and asked for a Nazi tattoo and the tattoo guy picked one for him? What is at issue is whether Graham knew the meaning.

22.10.2025 22:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Or I could have been right. I have always supported Platner because I think he is the person with the best chance to beat Susan Collins. I am not blindly holding onto anything - I am waiting to see if that is still true. Very very few people I know are turning away from him.
