So, it's looking like the whole Platner "controversy"

Is just more Republicant rat ****ery.

Quell surprise.

Didn’t we learn this lesson when that non-entity accused President Biden of sexual misconduct?

It’s high time to ignore this unsubstantiated bullshit and refocus on the objective: Dump the ****ing worthless oxygen thief of Maine.

OK, I'd enjoy Aviation Pro's explanation of how:

* The Rs got a Totenkopf onto Platner's body;

* The Rs got Platner to sext women;

* The Rs got Platner to sign onto and participate on a perv-tolerant sexting app;

* The Rs got the NYT to publish an article citing multiple women's dating-relationship experiences with Platner (the Dem women were not named, only the R woman was).

Even if it were true that the things said about Platner were unsubstantiated, since when has that bothered Democrats so much?

Also, calling Susan Collins a "worthless oxygen thief"? Isn't she kind of a RINO/Democrat-lite?

Isn't this what the dems want us to believe? anonymous rumors .

The R accuser the NYT outed/named provided the NYT with her diary, texts, and names of friends who could corroborate her having spoken with her about Platner. The NYT falsely claimed what she said was "uncorroborated".

Platner Accuser Slams New York Times for Watering Down Her Abuse Story to Help His Campaign

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/jeff-charles/2026/06/05/platner-accuser-slams-new-york-times-for-watering-down-her-abuse-story-to-help-his-campaign-n2677315

The Times dropped a report on Thursday detailing allegations from several women Platner dated. They claimed the candidate engaged in misogynistic and physically intimidating behavior. Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia-based Republican operative who previously dated the candidate, detailed an incident in which he allegedly twisted her arm behind her back and locked her in a room.

However, she said the report did not cover the enormity of what Platner allegedly did to her in their relationship. In a lengthy post on X, she went into more detail about his alleged abusive tendencies.

“Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn’t clean or easy,” Fifield wrote. “I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the ‘cool girl’ or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham.”
...
After seeing former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s downfall, she reversed course. She told them her story and even “let them take pictures of my diary pages.” She sent screenshots of her message exchanges with Platner.

“I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time—I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that’s fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough,” Fifield wrote.

The reporters connected her to other victims and she told them they were “doing the right thing” even though they had misgivings. Fifield also realized that Platner was in a relationship with one of the other victims while she was dating him.
...
The editors said these details were “too much” to include, according to Fifield. But the outlet also did not include the fact that she told her friends about her ordeal with Platner “long before he was running for office.”

Fifield further suggests that the Times sat on the story and stalled publication because they wanted a way to turn it into “a gift to the Platner campaign” by leaving out the more salacious details.

Accuser: NY Times Watered Down Story to Aid Platner

Lyndsey Fifield, whose allegations formed the centerpiece of a Times report published Thursday, said reporters "methodically delayed and twisted" her account and excluded allegations from other women, including claims of sexual assault.

In a series of posts on X, Fifield said she ignored warnings from friends and chose to trust Times reporters Lisa Lerer and Katie Glueck.


"They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn't feel so alone," Fifield wrote. "I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their ... sense that something was wrong."

According to Fifield, reporters repeatedly requested additional evidence and documentation before publication.

"They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more," she wrote. "I met every benchmark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed."

But after the story was published, Fifield said she was stunned by what was left out.

"Where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus?" she wrote, questioning why the article devoted extensive attention to her work history while excluding evidence and corroborating sources she said were provided to reporters.
...
The Times article included accounts from three women who had relationships with Platner.

In addition to Fifield, former girlfriend Jenny Racicot was quoted as saying Platner "does not respect women," while a third woman, who was not identified, described herself as "collateral damage to the world that is his."

So the "evil" rethugs used some kind of Jedi Mind Trick to make him get a nazi tattoo? Did they use a different mind trick to make him so stupid that he didn't know what the tattoo represented? Or is that stupid just part of his natural born demonraticism? Is his treatment of women just the total lack of compassion that his natural born demonraticism causes? Or was that some sort of mind trick, too?

The airport hooker seems to be awash in stupid today.
