action movie where the hero breaks his hand on his first punch and spends the rest of the movie in increasing agony as he has to keep (successfully) punching people.

We're getting close to seeing him slide right out of his chair onto the floor. Maybe he pitches forward and bonks his head on the Resolute Desk on the way too? It's going to be hilarious watching the lackeys behind him panic trying to decide if they should help or pretend they didn't see anything.

god I want platner to go away just so people STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME

Maine Politics and the Art of Cutting Bait

Q: Is it OK for me to wear a Totenkopf? A: Are you an actor in a legitimate period production? Are you August von Mackensen? If so, yes. If not, no.

No confirmed SA yet, just SS.

Congrats to Susan Collins on continuing to be the luckiest politician in America

Not "mein Totenkopf"?

I understand why the pod bros liked Platner.

Also this raises my personal evaluation of whether he has sexually assaulted people before from "maybe, higher likelihood than average" to "unquestionably, we'll just be waiting for the shoe to drop"

boy seems like a guy who probably should not be in the Senate

Jfc man

this is sick

anyway bsky.app/profile/mike...

wow whomst could've predicted this

he's an upper class white male xer failson with so little impulse control he routinely ran around shirtless to show off his nazi tat, of COURSE he's assaulted at least one woman

Rather than rubberneck at the inevitable implosion of the Platner campaign in Maine, I'd urge everyone to focus on another swing-state or even red-state Senate race that we might actually win. Ohio and Michigan are toss-ups and we have a fighting chance in Iowa, Texas and Alaska too.

I forgot Tulsi Gabbard was also Bernie's fault. The man is a menace.

The problem is that his defense attorney will have a legitimately plausible defense in the argument that Tuberville is too stupid to realize that Florida and Alabama are different states.

Oh some new Platner news and it's going to be quite bad.

Meanwhile, "nothing to see here....everything will be fine..." www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

I oversaw this sale at GSA (which involved learning some very specific things about excess property sales that has no other applicability to my life). We had no choice, we had to comply with the law, but it was obviously stupid and we would regret it. And here we are!

I hate to say it - but inconvenienced, hurt, wrecked - these are what Americans need to happen. It's funny, MAGA loves to call people soft, & we scoff, but there really are a lot of soft people, just not ones they're talking about. They're all too comfortable, they never suffer. They're spoiled.

it’s all treatlerism? always has been!

Like literally they were like "the dumbocrats want to spend MILLIONS on PARTY BALLOONS" and passed a law eliminating the reserve and now a couple decades later there are gonna be crippling economic problems because you need helium to make computer chips.

It's funny learning that the reason there's going to be a crippling helium supply shortage even though the United States once had a huge strategic reserve of it is literally because Republicans did the "jeff thinks the beans have to take turns lmao" thing to it

“Jeff thinks the beans need to take turns lmao” is a load-bearing tweet. I’m not saying it needs to be taught in schools, but I wouldn’t exactly oppose it

i love when you see a post like this and it’s from a tenured academic at one of the most prestigious and wealthiest institutions of higher education in the world

Up by 5 in a YouGov poll released today. YouGov is fairly solid. Platner seems like he's a turd, but the polling is what it is. I think there would be a lot of panic from the left if a Democratic incumbent was down 5% in a YouGov poll. www.uml.edu/news/press-r...

Shorter Bernie Sanders

A lot of it is also probably motivated by conspiratorial Facebook posts about data centers disrupting your vital essence, but any 70-30 policy is going to have a lot of dummies onboard, it’s a dumb world

Is this 100-fold revenue increase in the room with us

Yeah, I dunno. You could say “hrrmm glonzo methinkst” but this is an industry whose sales pitch is they are coming to wreck your life and whose public faces are a bunch of clammy racist nerds and Kyrsten Sinema, so I think you can understand the backlash if you try hard?

You take that back: intestinal myiasis built this country.

Farmers voted for Trump thinking he was gonna shovel govt money at them and only hurt the people they wanted hurt. Instead he gave them screwworms, took away their fertilizer, expelled or chased off a bunch of their workers, & blew up their export markets. This admin does have its silver linings.

Again, Gavin Newsom is mandating all state workers have to be in-office 4 days a week starting July 1. (Currently rule is 2 days a week.)

Degrowth Don is taking away your burgers, like no one else ever has. DOGE cut $400M worth of 'foreign aid' that exists to keep those nasty critters as far south of the US border as possible. And now they're about to start wrecking American livestock. I hope you all like tofu and soy milk.

JDPON Don is Klaus Schwab's trojan horse to Just Stop Oil and make you eat ze bugs. Wake up, sheeple.

LAW AND ORDER

There's a boat for sale at the local Trump sign house

It's either tax or voting fraud. Either way straight to jail.

Well, it's not like Republicans ever accused *other* people of voter fraud

"It cost me $350 to tow the fucking boat to the lake this year Fred shut the fuck up about Trump for one goddamn minute" - conversation about to be had at Havasu

As we learned during COVID, the only thing Americans truly get angry about is being personally inconvenienced. And they're about to be inconvenienced by the butt load.

is the stove still hot if no one has any fuel oil?

We live in an era when evil is not afraid to show its face.
