Thread was better when discussing the sexting and nazi tats and how Trump made it so we don't care about moral character anymore….plus it's the topic of the thread


I should have known that by asking for a good MAGA writer people could recommend the thread would turn into attacks on the left without my question ever being answered. That is the answer

You should have known that by supporting Maddow while talking about good journalism would get you called out.

What's a "good MAGA writer" supposed to look like? The whole point of journalism is to be impartial; you're not supposed to know the politics of the journalist.

The NYT in their search for "diversity" always hires the worst kind of Republican toads- David French, Brett Stephen's, David Brooks. All neocon warmongers and representatives of the extinct moderate Republican class, extinct everywhere but the old guard media. They should hire a MAGA columnist.

Who do people recommend as a MAGA columnist? I'm no fan of the NY Times or any of the people you mentioned but even the New York Times doesn't want to hire blatantly dishonest guys like John Solomon.

You like Rachel Maddow, so I don't see the issue with blatant dishonesty. You just care about what color pom poms they're shaking as they lie.


You still haven't presented any actual Rachel Maddow lies

"And it's not as if I'm some Platner booster. He's always struck me as an impulsive dumbass (not unlike me I suppose, except I would never run for Congress). But I'll take a dumbass over Susan Collins, a three-decade incumbent who has rubber-stamped every war she's ever met and just about every major Washington disaster since I was in elementary school.

"Consider how she answered Platner's remark that she'd voted to send him to Iraq. She said 'that was Platner's decision to serve. He was not drafted.'

"That's the kind of casual cruelty that falls out of these decorum-humpers the moment an election forces them to face an actual human being. And here's the thing about everyman dumbasses like Platner: they don't talk like that. That line is pure thirty-year operator the reflex of someone who's spent a career treating war as a line item and the people fighting them as a footnote. These people hold you in contempt and are indecent straight through. They just know which side of the plate the salad fork goes on."

NYT is going full National Enquirer on Platner. Lots of innuendo, Karen speak- "toxic, unsettling, collateral damage".; some PTSD - brandishing weapons, excess drink.. But it's not like he drove a young woman off a bridge or committed serious sexual abuse. It's just love in the 21st century.

I think his detractors have mistimed their attacks on Platner, this will be old news by Fall.

This is coming from the left. They don't want Platner to make it to fall.

Republicans wouldn't release this info until after the July cutoff date to drop out.

The uniparty doesn't want him, which kind of bolsters his candidacy. You might even see some of the oligarchs who have invested to oust Massie get in on the action.

Edit: sure enough...

AI Overview
The connection between Paul Singer and Graham Platner is that billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer is heavily funding an anti-Platner Super PAC in Maine's 2026 U.S. Senate race. [1]

Same with Massie, they pulled out and bribed an ex of his, $10 - $20 million will buy off a lot of people...

This will be interesting. Unlike a large state a voter is very likely to have heard, met, or known Platner. This- imo- will play more seriously than random media *****s.

One would think that supporting and facilitating a genocide as both parties do might qualify as a "moral failing" but it apparently is less serious than making some Karens uneasy.

We're up against fascism and...white supremacy?

Still no endorsements from black Democrats?

my wife is driving up this AM to pick up fabric for slip covers in Auburn/Lewiston today, she will probably see a black person there. I'll have her ask if they know what Jeffries thinks. It's great that you want him to win.

Not super-likely, but maybe she'll see two Black people, if Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston are still there!
