Graham Platner Could Soon Be The Most Vetted Member Of The Senate If This Keeps Up

THE WORD UP HERE IN MAINE is that the woman who made the NYT published allegations about Graham Platner being "rough" with her is a Susan Collins supporter but it wouldn't surprise me.   According to the Bangor Daily News, hardly famous as a liberal paper here:

Platner campaign has called Fifield, who works for a conservative group, “a longtime GOP operative who’s dedicated her career to electing Republicans.”

“She’s the person who’s been telling people this from the beginning,” Platner said on Thursday, referring to the claim that he knew about his chest tattoo.

If that is accurate,  the NYT basing any part of its reporting on what she claims just shows what a rag the NYT is and that its credibility should have gone with its history of sandabagging Hillary Clinton shortly before the 2016 election WITH FALSE REPORTING as it should have decades earlier with its similar reporting of lies and innuendos and clearly Republican favoring "reporting" and "opinion journalism."    I have pointed out for decades now that Hillary Clinton, among her other accomplishments, IS THE MOST THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND EXONERATED PERSON IN AMERICAN HISTORY,  the goddamned NYT was some of the worst of those hurling everything they could against her and it all proving THROUGH TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF CONGRESSIONAL AND "JUSTICE" DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATIONS, PROVING IT WAS FALSE.   They're doing the same thing, in a smaller way, against Graham Platner. 

What them trying to get Susan Collins back in is protecting the Sulzberger's and other mega-rich NYT connected millionaires and billionaires stake in the Republican-fascist tax giveaways, as, indeed, their role in sandbagging Joe Biden with lies and innuendo were.   

Graham Platner has, also, released the fact that he exposed his infamous tattoo, which he and I'll bet easily 99% of normal American's would think was a "skull and crossbones" at his brothers' wedding to a Jewish Woman, in front of her Jewish family, and pointed out that he'd never have done that if he knew that it was also associated with Nazism.    To most Americans a skull an crossbones are more likely to be associated with pirates and, or so I was told BY SOMEONE FROM MAINE WHO'D NEVER HEARD OF A TOTENKOPF

WITH AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAMS!

Army, 

Nebraska, 

East Carolina,

I could go on, and on with the use of a skull and crossbones in American logos, symbols, play, etc. without any of it having any implications of Nazism. 

In looking online to see something I've never looked into before,  what those suggesting kew-el tattoos are representing a skull and crossbones as meaning, here is what the young, callow and, by his own admission, drunk soldier may have thought it was saying:

The skull and crossbones tattoo is a classic design that has stood the test of time.

This tattoo often represents danger or a rebellious spirit, appealing to those who want to showcase their edgy side.

The image depicts a striking skull with crossbones beneath it. The clear lines and dark ink give it a traditional feel, reminding us of pirate lore and adventure on the high seas.

Many people choose this design for its symbolism of mortality, strength, or even just a love for the pirate aesthetic.

Platner points out that with their full knowledge of his tattoo - something which was checked for - the military and American government cleared him of having no such implications.   

The goddamned corporate media outlets, OF WHICH THE NYT IS ONE, is gunning for Graham Platner because they don't want Democrats to take the Senate and put their further moneygrabs at risk.  They also don't want any kind of Court reform that will risk the most openly corrupt and corporate and oligarchic and racist Supreme Court since the 19th century having its New Taney Six majority swamped or investigated for its blatant, quid-pro-quo selling of decisions - NOT that that was ever really in question from the Leonard Leo, Federalist fascist Society listed New Taney Six.  

Anyone who puts any trust in the NYT is as stupid as anyone who would put any trust in FOX Lies or the Sinclair group.   They're taking dictation from Republican operatives, for fucksake.
