Hello Mr. Platner,
Ratio.
That's it. That's the whole rebuttal.
You are someone who, by the virtue of his Reddit posts, manages to be simultaneously a filthy-literal-Communist and anti-Semite. That in itself is an egregious sin, because literal, card-carrying Communists are fundamentally at odds with America's norms.
But if that weren't enough, you have voluminous Reddit posts defending the Nazi Totenkopf symbol. You clearly knew the tattoo you got and you defended it publicly. There's no either/or way about it.
Scum attracts scum. Which is why you can comfortably swim in both literal-Communist and literal-antisemitic far-right circles.
I am no fan of Sue Collins. But the fact you are running against her, that you have even the smallest chance of defeating her --
you, as someone who is a self-admitted Communist, someone who has Nazi sympathies -- not to mention all the horrific, personal-life stuff --
You are the worst candidate in history, right AND left. You are the authoritarian evil that every "democracy" group speaks about, yet they will hypocritically not say a word against because they believe that being anti-Trump is more important than allying with Communists or Nazis.
You are not "populist." On the contrary:
You are the perfected example of how liberal democracy has rotted so far that they'd rather stay silent about you, hoping you'll win against the most moderate Republican in the Senate, than to hand Trump the possibility of retaining the Senate.

The same people who routinely said that their product was going to destroy white collar employment as we know it are now saying that half their company can't do any meaningful work due to export controls. Possibly this will give them all a chance to reflect.

Graham Platner calls himself a Communist and has been active in DSA. So why are certain factions insistent on having an alliance with the populist left? Haven't the past 150 years taught us what the fruits of Communism brings?
Communism (actual card-carrying Marxism, not "free health care" rhetoric) should be every patriot's red line.
And if that isn't a red line, but Israel is, then something has gone badly wrong. You're comparing the most deadly ideology in history to the Middle East's only democratic sovereign state. If you can tolerate Marxism but not Israel, it's fair to ask what your red lines are actually based on.

Tucker Carlson came out in support of Graham Platner. He said, “I certainly appreciate his foreign policy views.”
Tucker lives in Maine where Platner is the Democrat nominee for US Senate.
Source tells me Tucker is already in communication with Platner and he will be on Tucker’s show in the near future.
Tucker claims his criticism is restricted to Israel but he admires the man with a Nazi tattoo and is likely going to help him help the Democrats take back the Senate.
Everyone who defends Tucker in the GOP should be ostracized and disqualified from running for office in 2028 on the Presidential ticket.

🧵 THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? 🤔
When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders.
They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts.
Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy."
Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it.
And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

Hey @AlexanderSoros: Maybe give @elonmusk a lesson on how to create generational political influence on the taxpayer’s dime.
Teach him how to convert tax-deductible charitable donations into political expenditures, while the donors take the deduction.
You’ve already mastered it. The federal returns are public.

So, like my daughter @DataRepublican, I've never made a formal endorsement either. I wanted to wait until after the primaries, but John Strand is so remarkable that I feel compelled to endorse now.
This is my district. There are quite a few candidates running for this seat, and many are good candidates. I've met them all and even know several of them. BUT John stands out.
What is most impressive to me is his J6 experience (as told by my daughter):
"In 2022, the DOJ offered John Strand a plea deal. One misdemeanor; a wrist slap. His co-defendant took a similar deal and got 60 days. All he had to do was say he was guilty of something he believed he wasn't guilty of. He said no... twice. He went to trial. A D.C. jury convicted him on all five counts, including a felony carrying up to 20 years. He was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison. He spent four months in solitary confinement ... punished, in part, for helping other J6 defendants get outside support and for speaking publicly about conditions inside. Then the Supreme Court ruled in Fischer v. United States that the obstruction statute used against him was wrongly applied. He was released, and on January 20, 2025, he was fully pardoned."
This kind of integrity cannot be ignored! He was recently endorsed by Turning Point USA @TPUSA. I'm quite sure Charlie would approve!
Please repost! And FL-19, please VOTE for John Strand @JohnStrandUSA!

We need more mass deportation advocates like John Strand in Congress!
Too many get up here and instantly sell out to special interests to protect Sanctuary Farms, Factories, and Hospitality.
Jun 12
We don’t need more promises on mass deportation. We need results.
Deport ALL illegal aliens.
Mandate e-Verify.
De-bank illegal transactions.
End taxpayer-funded incentives.
President Trump needs fighters in Congress who will accelerate the agenda—not just talk about it.

🚨🇺🇸 ENDORSEMENT: John Strand for Congress, Florida's 19th District (FL-19) 🇺🇸
I've never done a formal endorsement like this, and I don't know if I will do many more. I want to explain why, because endorsements are not free. If I'm wrong, I've spent credibility I can't get back. I know that. I also know several of the people running for FL-19, and I want to be clear that this is not a slight against any of them. Some of them are good people who would serve honorably. I just think one of them is the right person.
I'm endorsing @JohnStrandUSA .
I used to live in FL-19; @data_republican lives there. I still care deeply about who represents that district. And when I looked at this race, one story kept pulling me back.
In 2022, the DOJ offered John Strand a plea deal. One misdemeanor; a wrist slap. His co-defendant took a similar deal and got 60 days. All he had to do was say he was guilty of something he believed he wasn't guilty of.
He said no... twice.
He went to trial. A D.C. jury convicted him on all five counts, including a felony carrying up to 20 years. He was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison. He spent four months in solitary confinement ... punished, in part, for helping other J6 defendants get outside support and for speaking publicly about conditions inside.
Then the Supreme Court ruled in Fischer v. United States that the obstruction statute used against him was wrongly applied. He was released, and on January 20, 2025, he was fully pardoned.
He could have taken the deal; almost everyone did. He looked at the easy road and the hard road and he chose the hard road because he believed it was the truthful one. That is a man whose faith is not decorative.
I've met and talked to John. He gets it. He understands what it means when the machinery of the state is aimed at you personally... not in theory, but in a SWAT team at your door and a concrete box they put you in for months. That kind of experience either breaks a person or clarifies them. John came out clarified.
He's sharp and charismatic. He is running in a crowded primary that includes two former congressmen from other states who are looking for a soft landing. John Strand is not looking for a soft landing; he already proved that.
FL-19, and the entire nation, deserves someone who has been tested and didn't fold. That's John Strand.

Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk showed us what it takes:
Get off the sidelines.
Fight for what’s right.
Stand firm when attacked.
When a weaponized DOJ framed me, I refused a plea deal, endured prison, and won total exoneration alongside President Trump at the Supreme Court. I will never stand down or sell out in the fight to defend American citizens.
It’s a special honor to receive the @TPAction endorsement for Congress in FL-19.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk speaks from Starbase as SpaceX goes public, with the largest IPO EVER
"If people had told me this was going to happen [years ago], I would be like, man, you must be smoking some REALLY good crack because I think this company is going to fail!" 🤣
"I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear. In fact, I told people this: I said, 'look, we're probably going to fail, but, you know, we should give it a try because if we don't, if if there's not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly spacefaring civilization.'" 💯

🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk just said the SAVE AMERICA ACT is the "ONLY WAY to save democracy in America"
SEN. MIKE LEE: "Senate Republicans should focus on nothing else until it becomes law."
THEY'RE RIGHT! 🇺🇸
"The SAVE America Act is controversial only among Democrats in Congress. Everywhere else it’s common sense."
We just proved it can get 50 VOTES in the Senate. It just needed 60.
If the filibuster were gone, this would be *LAW*!

Let the record show: Mike Lee is not a bridge-burner.
He has worked every channel to pass a bill with 75% public support. He has kept relationships intact. He has cooperated with the same institutions that are paid hundreds of millions of dollars to promote election integrity abroad, and asked them only to apply the same standard at home.
There is a hypocrisy in treating voter ID as an obstacle to democracy rather than a feature of it. The National Democratic Institute, the Democratic Party's own international arm, has spent decades and billions helping far less developed countries implement voter ID far stricter than SAVE America Act, all under advancing "democracy."
What Democrats (and Republicans) fund in African countries, they fight in Washington.
Mike Lee has played the institutionalist. He has been patient, procedural, and cooperative. But if the SAVE Act cannot pass a Senate his party controls 53–47, that patience will have been proven pointless...
And the Mike Lee who emerges from that failure will not be the one the Senate been negotiating with.

When I speak in support of the SAVE America Act, some Republicans tell me to stop, insisting that it’s a lost cause and we have to move on
Others chime in to say “remove Thune or your words mean nothing”
I emphatically reject both of these arguments

Here's the thing... I heard from two X friends this morning lamenting about all the evil and cheating that we see happening before our very eyes.
Do what you can in your sphere of influence. X is a tool for information and community, but it is not all there is in life. Work on what you can. You have a legacy, a family, friends, a life.
As @DataRepublican often reminds me (yes, I need reminders, too):

I didn't think it was possible to ratio Hunter Biden, who's been riding his astroturfed social media high. But you delivered. Boom.
Hello Mr. Hunter Biden,
You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means.
But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans:
You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent.
Let me explain - off the top of my head.
You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds.
USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier.
So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption.
You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism.
You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal.
You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake.
