This is a pretty important thread.

"OOPSIE!"

His family is very litigious so there is ALOT of data. But, from the mom’s side and her dozen businesses and properties she was landlord of … she was sued like 30 times by “USA,”“IRS,” “State of Maine,” and various counties for not paying taxes for these properties.

He also says people that used PTSD as an excuse are “bullshit” and not yo let them get away with it. Unless it’s him I guess

Now I get it. Leftists support Platner because their own posting history is even more vile than his own.

I have been online over 40 years, going back to pre-internet time. One thing I know is that regardless of how people seem "in real life", what they post online reveals exactly who they really are. Read all of this, and explain to me how youcan uncritically take his word that it's not who he is now.

I just heard Chuck Norris died. Oh well. Those "Chuck is so tough" jokes stopped being funny when he and his wife posted this video saying that re-electing Obama would bring on "1000 years of darkness". youtu.be/w2oYKdN5Gh4?...

@grahamformaine.bsky.social blamed women for sexual assault, saying they should "take some responsibility for themselves" and "act like an adult." Here's what Maine women had to say about his words.

I feel like Graham Platner's weird and fucked up posts about war don't get enough attention, so here they are, and also its worth pointing out he was calling Iraq a fun adventure where he killed people (fun!) in 2020, he registered his Senate website less than 3 years later in April 2023

This is from a friend on FB, and corroborated by another friend. Anyone here from Virginia that can confirm the GOP are pulling this tactic?

Just a preview: Leonard Leo's mouthpiece in Maine, the Maine Wire, is showing us a taste of the campaign they will be carrying out for the GOP if Platner is nominated. Only the tip of the iceberg. Mills for Senate, please.

Hooray for the SCOTUS tariff ruling, but here's a very important question: Who's going to enforce it? What will happen when he refuses to obey the court and end the tariffs? My prediction is that no one will, and Congress will push through a bill that codifies all of the tariffs for him.

Any person who "gives" their Nobel Peace prize to appease a fascistic leader who is bombing other coutries unilaterally did not deserve to receive it in the first place.

"Jonathan Ross suffered internal injuries" is the new "Trump had half his earlobe blown off"

Is Will Trent the best network TV show? Brilliant season opener.

You know, if the ICE agent is arrested and charged with murder, he'll be found not guilty, right? That's because, as shown in so many Black muder-by-police cases, all the officer has to do is say he felt endangered and doesn't have to prove it. This is why police are usually not found guilty.

I really don't understand all the angst about MTV being put out of its misery by Paramount. MTV has been dead since at least the mid 90s. They just didn't know it yet.

d and only just watched part 2 of get back a couple of nights ago. And just holy shit the amount of talent in that room, and the way Paul and John played off of each other even while they were growing apart. And poor Goerge in the background looking like he felt left out. And Ringo just chillin'.

Five minutes after watching this weeks episode of The Simpsons, my wife came back into the room and said "Now I have the tune to The Pina Colada Song stuck in my but, but the lyrics are Hotel California." After humming a few lines, I said "Fuck it actually works, too!!" You're welcome.

Yet another reason I will never, ever own an Apple product. "Think different" was their old slogan. What was unsaid was "as long as you're not thinking about Windows or Amiga or Unix variants."

And Platner's media consultant and wannabe progressive kingmaker is Morris Katz, who worked on the Fetterman and Mamdani campaigns.

I'm trying to figure out what they're talking about with "deaths by landlord"

Yes, Aftyn Behn lost, but it was always a longshot. HOWEVER The small margin of vicotorey gives the GOP a pyrrhic victory at best. We have got to keep this momentum going!

yeah that about covers it

How many Palestinians did Hamas kill?

Wow I'm a serioyus pottymouth. No Regerts.

I wonder what the @profanity.accountant has to say for myself....

I know a biology prof at a Virginia college who devoted large portions of his course just teahing the kids how to write an essay and do proper sourcing. his standard reply to questions is "it's in the syllabus." And still they make excuses and ask dumb questions.

King's Hawaiian is everywhere in Maine. Well, all the Hannafords anyway. I think Arby's had some limited time sandwiches on King's Hawaiian a few years ago.

My first exposure to her was when my brother played the St Anne's concert CD for me. So damn good. (I knew about Broken English and that she hung with the Velvet Underground, but that was about it.)

Mainesky alert: If youre looking for a place to shop that's as local as it gets, Head over to Freeport and hit up Two Sisters in Maine, a shop full of lovely gifts made by Maine makers, including some cool tie dyes made by Yours Truly. Then head over to Freeport Market for more Maine made goods!

Thanks to ozempic (legitimately prescribed for diabetes) that's me after one small plate.

Still waiting for the "My best friends are Jews" shoe to drop.

So what is the word for that weird smell/taste/feeling in the head when you have a cold or sinus infection or whatever this is that I've got? I just call it sick-head but does it have an actual name?

Mine's 11, but some are . . . puzzling. ai bots trolls grifters? Chomsky Honks? Can anyone translate the German for me? Who is Edward Said?

the MBA and engineering clsses too? I mean, a masters in engineering is often required for an engineer seeking a PE certification (the P stands for . . . you guessed it)

Get Ready...

He need to be impeached again. BUT! NOT without first quietly polling the Senate to see if there is support for conviction. Because immpeachment is impotent without conviction. The problem with the first and second times was that the House leaders who pushed them knew there would be no conviction.

Mamdani actually really did poorly in his Mayoral run. therichwilkins.com/2025/11/20/m...

A word that needs a comeback.

I'll take "takes that get you blocked in seconds for $1000, Alex!

THIS! THIS! THISTHISTHISTHIS!! Real allies don't have to tell people they are allies.

Hmmmm . . . "Platner is also the proprietor and president of the Frenchman Bay Oyster Company, where he reported the value of his equipment as $50,000 to $100,000 and disclosed a business loan of between $15,000 and $50,000. But he did not report any income." www.sunjournal.com/2025/11/19/g...

"Why hello fellow gaming people. I will be playing a favorite Groyper game with some other players carefully selected for their diversity in order to show I am down with the smallest voting bloc on the electorate."

Just had a leftist at the Facey place -- who was wailing on and on about AIPAC and Graham Platner's step-brother -- tell me that conflating Zionism amd Judaism is anti-Semitic. Uh, whut? So all those ZionistJews are anti-Semitic because it's part of their identity? How ... what ... why ...?

I wish she wasn't, but yeah, the ingrained misogyny of the average US voter won't allow it.
