Maine Democrat With Nazi Tattoo Spends Final Days of Viability In His Bunker

<![CDATA[In retrospect, Joe Biden had a better week after Sundowning his way through the presidential debate with Donald Trump in June, 2024. There remains a major television network willing to give his wife extended air time to perpetuate the lie that his performance was a fluke. The idea that Biden's name is mentioned at all in media two years after his collapse shows he didn't fall far enough.You might think disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, aka Carlos Danger, had a bad week in 2011. Oh, sure, he lost his House seat, got shown up at his own press conference by the Late Andrew Breitbart, lost his wife, Huma Abedin (who would later marry Ernst Stavro Blofeld's son, Alex Soros), and spent over a year in the Graybar Hotel for sexting underage girls. But look at Weiner now. He's back on New York City airwaves, courtesy of WABC radio, opining as the voice of reason in the era of Communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Sunny Hostin on the View in October, 2024 asked a layup of a question to Democratic presidential appointee, Kamala Harris - what policy differences are there between you and Joe Biden? While not a scripted question, Harris' campaign strategists knew this was coming. Former staffer Stephanie Cutter tweeted later that they'd practiced an answer with Harris beforehand. What came out instead was standard Kamala Harris - halting, uncomfortable, stiff, before finally uttering arguably her biggest gaffe of the campaign, that she, "could not think of a single thing" she'd do differently. It was a disaster. During the commercial break, Harris staffers on the set demanded that the question be brought up again so that Harris could have a do-over. It didn't matter. It was too late. That moment was about the only moment in The View's history that really went viral for all the wrong reasons. But at least Harris today has a mansion in Brentwood that hasn't burned down, and sold enough copies of 107 Days to afford all the Sauv Blanc she can drink, and she still leads prospective presidential contenders for the 2028 cycle. The all-time rankings for political disasters might have to be readjusted down a notch, however, because Maine's presumptive Democratic nominee for United States Senate, Graham Platner, has had a campaign meltdown unlike anything we've seen in recent memory, and the hits just keep coming. Going into last week, Platner and his Democratic supporters were tying themselves into moral pretzels over the fact that he knew full well what the meaning was behind the tattoo he sported for decades - an actual Nazi concentration camp watchtower guard corps tattoo, the Totenkopf. On the 22nd of May, Time Magazine did a cover story on the viability of Platt called "Party Crasher".In the article, it mentions his endearing qualities, like referring to the Virgin Mary as a "skank", and destroying the campaign's narrative that it was just a cool-looking tattoo that all of the Marines got at the time. ]]>
