I don't think it's controversial to suggest that Graham Platner being a bad guy is independent of his various careers.
Rick, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself and retract this immediately if you have any sense of decency. It is spitting in the face of every good man and woman who has ever fought for this country to suggest combat service regularly turns people into Graham Platner.
Rick Perlstein@rickperlstein.bsky.social · 5d agoA watershed piece.

This was Dan Olson’s disagreement with Hbomberguy on the topic of flat earthers. Hbomberguy’s video had the thesis “ the Earth isn’t flat but you’re right that there’s something wrong with society” and then Dan responded “you’re seeing common ground that isn’t there, they’re insane and dangerous”
Kind of wild overlap between the people incensed about "chart bros" and the people who don't see an issue with government employees going weeks without paychecks.
It's like what that German guy always used to say. Sustained kinetic strikes in lieu of a cessation in hostilities are negotiations by other means
If Iran has attacked U.S. water infrastructure to needle the Trump administration, then even the Iranian regime must be perplexed by the president’s response, Juliette Kayyem argues.

Trump: “What if we make the whole world pay us protection money” *diplomatic crisis* *renewed hostilities with Iran* *threats of apocalyptic strikes* *oil markets shudder* *Trump backs off in defeat* *12 hours pass* Trump: “What if we make the whole world pay us protection money”
I like it when WH comms just goes with "POTUS got got, questions whether 'Oman' is actually a real country"

every single day I am baffled by the fact that this man - this incredibly, astoundingly embarrassing man - is the one half the damn country built a cult of personality around
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
