2002 Platner, protested Iraq war then went to daddy's office to grab his birth cert in order to join the Marines
2025 he said he did it for many made for a tv-movie reasons but note the "adventure" part
2020 before he was recruited to run he said it was for the adventure & to "kill some people"

Sounds like a basic, perpetually failing up, mediocre White man
After he couldn't re-up in the Marines, in 2010 he joined the "...Maryland Army National Guard and deployed to Afghanistan the next year as a rifle team leader..."

Graham Platner be honest for five seconds challenge????
if Graham Platner didn’t know that he got a nazi symbol tattooed over his heart, then he shouldn’t be a senator.

Graham Platner should not be a senator.
Remember when this 👇a*shole tried to do a ‘let’s work together folks!’ after Talarico won and that lasted about 2 seconds? Well, look what he is up to now.👇 Gee, what could the reason be? 🤔😒
Yeah I was just about to mention this. This Keith Edwards person uses a pick of him at the White House with Kamala Harris as political clout while he discourages people in at least two different states from voting for Black Democrats.

Y’all want to see a cautionary tale of exactly what Black Folks have been trying to warn y’all of for years?
This guy Sef Casim ran as a young progressive candidate against a BW and all the usual suspects lined up behind him.

Northwest Georgia showed up in a BIG way, and now we head to a runoff.
Momentum is real. The coalition is growing.
Let’s finish what we started.
On to the runoff. #GA14
Hoping Sen Chris Murphy gets over wringing his hands about the '[White] male identity crisis' and 'identity politics' long before 2030 because he's leaving a trail of betrayal for voters who make up the Democratic Party base
Are you under the illusion the GOP hasn't done their research and documented everything he, his bestie's PAC, donors, and supporters have done?

Hey y’all. Meet Lauren🤗
IMO, the Talarico's PAC "if she wins, we lose" campaign is following the same vile pattern of the Trump-Vance campaign's "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you"
I don't know about you but if I was running a PAC for any of my besties, no coordination would be necessary because I know them that well
Plus would any conversations you & your bestie have BEFORE you announce your campaign, conveniently a week after the PAC is formed, even count as coordination?
2011: Property purchased for $10M
2015: Property sold for $7.65M
I'm really curious what would cause a depreciation of 23.5% or if it was overvalued in 2011 but somebody didn't care???
We forget how lucky we are in CA!
We've got the fab Voters Choice Act & TIL our Grand Jury system is unique in that it solicits applicants
NJ does same for statewide Grand Juries
Looks like in other states questionnaires are sent so make sure to fill out & return!

I'm glad you shared your curiosity because:
1) I was unaware of all of it
2) provides a perfect response to the Bernie-Walks-On-Water Bros
Dem electeds going after them is a waste of time but more than that, alienating to the actual party base
Sen Chris Murphy with his newly adopted facial gruff to appeal to the White grievance class as he worries abt the '[White] male identity crisis' and urges pivoting away from 'identity politics'

An important note: "working class" is a racist dog whistle joining an already long list used to specifically appeal to White voters:
'illegal aliens'

Lone Star Rising PAC were the only ad buys opposing Crockett
The "if she wins, we lose" is all them and...HIM
Why HIM? Lone Star Rising PAC was created exactly one week before Talarico announced his Senate bid and is run by his friend of 15 years, Alexander Clark
If someone needs an external framework to express kindness & empathy, that means they have neither
Your describing someone playacting kindness & empathy to fit it - someone who is conning & manipulating
We have plenty of examples of psychopaths in fiction⤵️ as well as the con artists in real life
Why does Talarico need to be "told to hate" White Nationalists?
White Nationalist = White Supremacists
"We want a fighter" say voters who ignore that the punk helped R's in 2021 instead of continuing to stand in solidarity by breaking quorum
Perhaps why Dems were denying R's quorum answers the question as to why he folded:
Dems were trying to block voter suppression laws

A phantom refinery: How Georgia helps Putin bypass oil sanctions
Georgia exported $56M of what it claimed to be its own petroleum products in January 2026. The surge may be due to a new Black Sea coast refinery that takes deliveries from “shadow fleet” ships, owned by a family with ties to Russia.
