I don’t know why Trump is angry about his name being removed from the Kennedy center, he usually likes it when his name is redacted.

"Susan Collins voted to fully fund concentration camps for at least two years."

we're going to have to have another 250th celebration when he's gone. Don't even address the fact that its a couple years late or the first one was a dud. Just a great big party for making it to 250 as a functioning democracy.

I'm not likely to have any additional kids, but if I did have one, there's a solid chance that his or her name might be Venous Reflux Disease or Ischemic Stoke.

ICE is not a law enforcement agency. Once they started repeating unwritten orders to violate people's constitutional rights to each other, the whole organization became a criminal conspiracy. Every one who committed any overt act to further that is guilty of every crime committed to further it.

tax capital not wealth. people pay 15% from dollar one of their earnings for social security and medicare. they only see half on their w2 but its really them not their employers who pay the other half. Elon Musk just became a trillionaire AND WILL PAY NO TAX ON THAT. Tax capital. Fuck capital.

It blows my mind how many Catholic Republicans there are. And I know, the Republicans have put a bunch on the Supreme Court. but to the Evangelicals, the big Republican power base, Catholics are only tolerated. They view them as not really Christian. And the Republican Catholics don't see it.

Once upon a time in Holland, one guy fucked up everybody else's retirement plans so badly that they ate him. I've been to Holland. Its lovely. I'm not saying that's the reason, but its something I wonder about.

Someone should look into the apprenticeship scams where companies hire veterans AND get paid out of their GI bill benefits. Heard Republicans bragging about that when I was in DC circa 2017 or 2018 when the previous tax scam bill was in the works.

lol.. 99 times out of 100. but you have to beam the rest of the away party into space first so they don't tell him. Then there's the holodeck time convincing them all that they had a successful away mission. Sometimes it's easier to leave 'em dead.

platner is fine actually? Probably above average character for a US Senator based on current reporting. That might change and might not, but its weird to cancel a guy for having been vaguely poorly behaved in private a decade ago.

I wouldn't trust Texas to not convict their enemies of felonies in absentia. Remember, every legal tool you create is a tool the enemy can use as well. The core issue is that a majority of voters voted for this.

impeachment already has that, but it requires conviction. as it should, or Republicans would limit every Democrat to one term. Because the house map favors Republicans so strongly that they will generally have that chamber for at least half of President's term. And they have no morals of any kind

ok but who else has a nonzero chance of winning the primary? he's the only guy who rsn a campaign. a petty scandal like this won't outweigh that. None of this has anything to do with the primary. Its all about reelecting Susan Collins.

Meaner Variance @moderationproblem.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

right. Someone else could have stepped and ran. They did not. Now the primary is functionally over. Anyone attacking Platner now is doing it to help Collins, not Mills. Since she supports all of the evil that this admin is doing, so do they. they are the bad guys here.

Meaner Variance @moderationproblem.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Voting isn't over but no one else ran a campaign. People who don't run campaigns don't magically win, genius. Thats why the pile on started now.

Meaner Variance @moderationproblem.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

because the time for that was six months ago. The only reason to do it now is as a precursor to a campaign to try and turn Democrats against the nominee in the general. Its just an op at this point and its an obvious one.

Ok. explain its relevance to the race and how it makes Collins the better choice.

I'm stretching my imagination in new and uncomfortable ways to see how or why Platner can't be trusted over Susan Collins. No luck.

Meaner Variance @moderationproblem.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

it remains to be seen if he's even a bad choice. if he has cross-aisle appeal, wins, and votes correctly, that's a win. A bad guy who votes correctly IS a good guy. Full stop. Everyone needs to drop the Star Trek morality bullshit. We're not on that timeline. Never were.

No one does. Thats why he's being attacked in this specific fashion. I'd like a better candidate. They did not step up. He did, and its clear that he's the favorite over Collins, so they are starting the general election a week early

has no bearing on the work of the job - probably not out of the ordinary for the people currently in the Senate - and, let's face it - you have a choice between someone who may have been problematic in a past relationship and someone who is actively abusing you right now. it's not close.

Meaner Variance @moderationproblem.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

right? any one of them would be a stonger choice, but Mills scared everyone out of it then DIDN'T BOTHER TO CAMPAIGN. I remember replying to her posts begging them to at least give her a profile pic.
