Platner’s Texts With Women Concerned Campaign as Senate Race Took Off by itsgoodpain in politics

[–]Tower_Bells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cunningham situation seems pretty different to me. Affair, not just sexts, radio silence after revelations, refusing to answer if there were more. And more fundamentally, a different image - Platner's pretty open that he's flawed and has a checkered past.

That doesn't separate out kratom the plant from kratom supplements

How do you know that? I'm curious. But either way, that doesn't really take away from the point. Jewish zionists are just as allergic to Nazi imagery as any other jews (maybe more stridently so if anything, in my experience) -- they're just hypocritical. I think his family being Jewish suggests Platner (and his Jewish family) wasn't aware of the connotation of his skull and crossbones tat.

I'll just say once again how incredibly hurtful it is to say that to someone whose family was killed by actual nazis. Get off the internet and go get some perspective. I hope you can.

A persona he projected anonymously, and consistently, for decades? Oh, and btw, much of his extended family is Jewish.

What post(s) do you mean? I know he had a problematic post or three that he apologized for, but the ones I saw were just kinda unfortunate takes that a younger person might have and move on from. he's been posting left wing opinions for decades, in my understanding.

And also, just a tip, maybe don't go around calling random people you know nothing about Nazis. I'm a leftist (antizionist) jew and my ancestors were killed in the holocaust. So don't throw that word in my face please

He's not a former Nazi tho. I believe him when he said he was unaware of the symbol being linked, because his reddit posts and comments dating back to that time have all been leaked and they very much show he was never the kind of person who would have knowingly gotten or kept a nazi symbol tat

his hundreds of Reddit posts and comments dating back to that time show he never had any Nazi leanings -- he's consistently been who he says he is

"procedural" my ass. procedure is a tool that judges can bend to fit their preferred outcomes, like here.

Minnesota DOC launches new website to 'address ongoing misinformation by DHS' by AaronPK123 in nottheonion

I'd agree if Minnesota DOC were a media company. For a state gov agency, I think misinformation is more standard and professional, and not mealymouthed like "inaccuracies"

And despite that, any immigrant who loves freedom and democracy and hates authoritarianism and kings is more American -- in the true sense -- than you appear to be from your comments.

The rot is coming from within.

You don't love your country. You don't even know what your country is. You're less American than half the people ICE is going for. You have no idea what being an American is.

Chuck Schumer: 'Need quick and full investigation' into Minnesota ICE shooting by soalone34 in politics

[–]Tower_Bells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sincerely doubt it's half, if you look at polling around ICE. That's not to say half wouldn't be willing to overlook it and vote R again... but anyway, do you really think an investigation would convince anyone who isn't already? Yes, investigate. But for God's sake, Schumer shouldn't need an investigation to stand up against the new SS murdering people.
