• Platner vs Collins

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Tue Jul 7 20:14:26 2026
    The left is trying hard to help Republican Susan Collins win her re-election.

    First they gave Platner hell for having a swastika tattoo. How did anybody even know that he has one? Whoever nominated him surely knew.

    Then came the rape allegation (old trick.) I don't believe rape allegations that are none of my business. And the ex girlfriend is full of it too.

    This is a big distraction from the fact that the left already has tons of money invested into Collins, and this little Platner fella is just a paid actor who gives guys like Bernie Sanders bragging rights for saying "Platner needs to step aside."

    What's worse: a proven RINO or an alleged Nazi rapist? Either way, the left wins this race.

    It wouldn't be the first time they set up a straw man to make their weak candidate seem good.

    But the Left is getting more and more desperate every day as they see that their hold on power is getting weaker by the minute.

    The Democrats should have left her alone... She voted more with them then the Republicans... They could have saved all that money and just moved on to something different.

    Now they are exposed as being hypocrites, for the first time ever.

    Politics today is corrupt to the core!!!

    Mitch is missing, may be dead... If he is they are trying to pass a deadline for a special election... August 3rd I THINK... if they can push it past that date they'll just do the midterm thing.

    His Chines wife flew to China 3 days after Mitch was hospitalized... What wife in their right mind would fly to China and talk to the Chines VP if your husband is ... maybe brain dead.

    Somethings up.

    Mitch is a team player (for the left, of course.) His absence isn't hurting us, it's his presence that hurts us.

    I don't trust either of them. If she thinks Mitch is dying (and I don't wish that on him) then she's probably over there trying to work out some last chance deals on intel (espionage.)

    The Dems are experienced in exploiting a sick old man for their political ends.

    But if Mitch was dead, they couldn't hide that. He's probably brain dead, though, and kept alive with machines until it's politically expedient.

    She's not Mitch's wife. She's his handler.

    A lot of RINO money probably comes from China. They own all the Democrats,

    Term limits. Age limits.

    Here in Michigan, when you are over a certain age, you MUST renew your driver's license every year. Why? So they can assess if you are still fit to drive. I see no reason why that can't work in Congress too.

    You don't even have to be a politician for long... Look at MTG... on her 150K salary she bought a house for 1. something million... Then sold that and bought a 5.5 million dollar Island place... she was only there for 6 years.

    They really should. People should know who they're voting for. When we voted for Trump, we were voting for YUM! Brands (Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC) and Exxon, and ULINE to name a few. I'm grateful to those companies.

    When Mike Powell voted for Kamala, he was voting for George Soros, Bill Gates, and Michael Bloomberg (to name a few.) Those stickers don't look as cool.

    As I've said before, we need to stop voting party and start voting person.

    My wife and I looked at the candidates for the primary on Aug. 4. I am disappointed in the candidates. We have one that looks good, until you look at her record: Journalist, the only corporate jobs were for "charity coordinator", etc. In other word, "Leftie" in large letters, but she's running as Republican.

    The other candidates: No information at all about them is available.

    My understanding is that the PARTY decides on the primary. The State simply allows them to use the voting infrastructure to hold it. So it's not an actual election.

    BTW, I went to the consulate and I was wearing a Ball Cap, 1776 to 2026 one... Not political... they made me take it off... I thought it was a rule... I put it back on after I was searched and was asked to take off again... I thought it was a rule.

    In the Consulate waiting room now and there are 2 kids with ball caps on... I think they made me take mine off because it was an America 250 hat. NON Political... stars and stripes kinda hat.

    You need to move, not far, Kentucky... anything but NY

    I still think Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota are the safest.

    In the Consulate waiting room now and there are 2 kids with ball caps on... I think they made me take mine off because it was an America 250 hat. NON Political... stars and stripes kinda hat.

    That's ridiculous. What if you had an Iran hat? They'd be fine with that, I suppose. :)

    Anyway, Amanda signed for her own Adult passport for the 1st time.

    Cool. I'm gonna renew mine later this month I think. I wanna get back to Canada so I can hit the thrift stores. (They got some good crap in the thrift stores up there!)

    I have an American shirt I was going to wear... It has pictures of Washington on it... Mount Rushmore.. We The People stuff... Eagles and so on and so forth... I decided not to wear that and I think I'm lucky I didn't.

    If it was a MAGA hat I could see their issue... an American flag and 1776-2026 on a hat was an issue.

    My wife told me I should drop it... I don't know... maybe Marco is on X and I should tell him.

    They're a little too needy! I just remembered: 13% is the sales tax rate in Ontario. They can keep their used crap! I should look for garage sales up there. (They can't charge me tax at a Canadian garage sale, right?)

    The Canadians who take pride in their country probably don't like the reality of that situation. Things need to get worse before voters do something about it.

    Sure, who knows right now. Just get your passport and get one with the trump pic and deal with where you are going to go with it later.

    I'd love to see the look on people's faces as they process your Trump passport.

    Canada has a problem, we have a highly populated Province that is full of Lib-Tards and they keep voting idiots in.

    There is a recent story sweeping Social Media where an illegal alien from Toronto slapped a teenager for wearing patriotic close on July 4th on the Jersey Shores... Now she's arrested and held by ICE and it looks like she'll be deported back to Canada...

    All of Ontario is not like her... but there is enough that they keep voting in leaders like Justin and his puppet master Carney into office.

    That sounds fun, but lots of people will have that passport. I get enough excitement from displaying my MAGA hats and flags.

    There maybe something there... Who knows... The problem with Ontario is that it is populated... Soooooooooo populated that other provinces don't even count during an election. The city of Toronto, alone, is bigger than the entire province of Alberta.

    It would be better for Canada if they had a system like the US... 2 Senators regardless of the population of each province... and House seats based on population.

    ^^^^---- That would fix a lot of things.

    from what i hear they're seeding the next generation of foreigners into those areas as well.

    a lot of their housing is pretty premium too. was probably awesome up until the early 2000s.. definitely not something their imports can afford. so you gotta build out that "affordable housing" they're always going on about.

    and of course they vote for more of that type of stuff.

    The other thing I like about the American political system over the Canadian one is that you can primary your leaders/reps...

    For example, Doug Ford can be challenged for his seat by a fellow conservative if Doug SUCKS at his job... But the Canadian system will allow Doug to drive drive the province into the ground and be replaced with a possible dumber person.

    Housing is a bigger problem back east in Ontario and not as debilitating out west in Alberta. Alberta has work and jobs whereas Ontario now so.

    So the media attention on that story is actually a good thing then.

    Personally, I wish I could trigger people, but nobody bothers me when I wear my wife's MAGA hat, or when they see it on my dashboard. I should try it in bigger cities ;)
