The Conservative Cave

Democrat candidate for Maine U.S. Senate Graham Platner has had a long history of sexual deviancy unearthed over the course of his political campaign. It’s previously been revealed that Platner has engaged in bouts of masturbation in public restrooms, had phone sex on a network compromised by the Taliban, and cried over the closure of a Thailand prostitution tax-loophole.

A recent report from the Wall Street Journal revealed that Platner has an account on an anonymous messaging platform known for playing host to countless sexual predators, Kik.

Platner’s account, which goes by the username phustle0331, remains active today. His chosen avatar is a mirror selfie where an individual appears to be dressed in nothing but a bath towel. The tattoos featured on the individual match tattoos that Platner had as recently as October when he conducted an interview with a local ABC affiliate, confirming that he is the individual pictured. Further, the username matches that of private Instagram account associated with Platner as well as his infamous Reddit account.

Former Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) faces attacks by fellow Democrats for seeking to represent a heavily black congressional district in Florida.

About this district, the Miami Herald wrote: "Under the previous map, the population of the majority-minority 20th District was 53% Black ... and the newly drawn 20th District is 45% Black. At least five Black Democrats are also vying for the seat."

Wasserman Schultz's current district is approximately 43% Hispanic, 32% white, 15% black and 5% Asian. This district has been redrawn and will likely be won by a Republican. So, Wasserman announced her candidacy for the seat formerly held by former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a black woman who resigned in scandal but is running to regain her seat.

About Wasserman's candidacy, Cherfilus-McCormick said: "This is not the moment for forum shopping. This is not the moment to say this is easier, this is not. What matters in this moment is to make sure all the strides we have made to make sure Black representation is actually present matters."

Elijah Manley, another rival candidate, wrote on X: "Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district instead of running in her own. DWS is everything that's wrong with the Democratic establishment. From insider trading to payday lenders. ...

The real reason trump endorsed Paxton
Thought this was interesting this morning on Velshi's show. Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post said that it wasn't so much that he was angry at Cornyn. Rather, he is angry at John Thune. He wants revenge on Thune because Thune did not fire the Senate Parliamentarian or change the filibuster so that he could rule as a king as he desires.
With Paxton running and Cornyn's formidable fundraising stymied, he is getting revenge on Thune by making his job of keeping the Senate more difficult.

Way to go there, Donnie! That'll show him!  Talk about cutting off ones nose to spite oneself.
