It was first started by WWII Army Air Corps veterans. They bombed the shit out of the Nazis.

However, when they got home and started their little motorcycle club in LA many of them wore surplus German Army helmets.

I don't care about Platner's sexting issue, but I do care about his Nazi Tattoo. [View all] Chasstev365 Sunday OP

It matters to me also - TBF Sunday #1

Do you think Platner is a Nazi? Ocelot II Sunday #2

It is what some imply (with absolute intent) and I think it is an absolutely false charge. Platner is not a nazi. He is Celerity Sunday #32

Of course he isn't. I was looking for someone to explain why having gotten a tattoo Ocelot II Sunday #35

"Graham Platner is no Nazi". AloeVera Sunday #74

The tattoo really pesters me LetMyPeopleVote Sunday #3

I don't think sexting is a good idea in a candidate LisaL Sunday #12

To be fair the sexting was years ago EdmondDantes_ Sunday #18

He has only been married for 3 years. LisaL Sunday #20

In this context, I would say during the campaign EdmondDantes_ Sunday #52

Years ago? Try 3 or less mcar 20 hrs ago #181

He was not running at the time. Nt AloeVera Sunday #24

Well, I guess anything you did before the campaign LisaL Sunday #29

Like I said, he's running for sainthood. AloeVera Sunday #57

Actually, given how he surged in spite of the tattoo and posts, karynnj Sunday #77

I was only addressing the sexting, I gather you missed that. I did not call anything else the P word. AloeVera 15 hrs ago #209

right? Skittles Sunday #25

i urge you to not check Lindsay Graham's browser history mr715 Sunday #108

Whoa, I did not know that PatSeg Sunday #22

Those things matter to me, too, but I don't want Collins to be re-elected. sop Sunday #4

I agree, but I think Maine Democrats could have come up with less controversial candidate Chasstev365 Sunday #6

They didn't, so the only choice will be Collins or Platner. I would prefer Susan Collins not be re-elected. sop Sunday #9

Fair Enough! Chasstev365 Sunday #11

THANK YOU Skittles Sunday #26

Somebody vetted him. That's how we know that Platner is a gay bashing, rape apologizing, racist lapucelle Sunday #112

JFC Skittles Sunday #117

Did I mention that Platner sounded a bit wistful that urinating on [enemy] bodies is now a "poor choice, lapucelle Yesterday #124

This is the issue. It's amazing the kerfuffle over non-Mainers Nixie 23 hrs ago #159

Chuck Schumer endorsed Fetterman. Emile 22 hrs ago #162

Chuck Schumer promoted Janet Mills. But she dropped out. Nixie 21 hrs ago #165

Yes you are half correct. Us Bernie people know we were fooled by a centrist. Emile 21 hrs ago #171

Oh please. Fetterman's victory over Connor Lamb was all the rage because "corporations." Nixie 17 hrs ago #198

Lamb was more honest. He ran as a centrist, Emile 17 hrs ago #200

More rewriting and very pathetic attempts at that. Nixie 17 hrs ago #201

Egads, I admitted more than once he fooled Emile 17 hrs ago #202

More rewriting. Nixie 17 hrs ago #203

LOL Emile 17 hrs ago #205

Bernie Sanders backed John Fetterman prevails in Pennsylvania Nixie 21 hrs ago #168

Same reply as Post 171 Emile 21 hrs ago #172

Didn't Sanders also elevate Tulsi Gabbard and Nina Turner? lapucelle 20 hrs ago #178

Chuck Schumer has a track record of endorsements too. Emile 20 hrs ago #179

Sorry, "Quick! Look over here!" doesn't work on me. lapucelle 20 hrs ago #183

A lot of us were fooled by Centrist Fetterman, but imo I think Schumer knew. Emile 20 hrs ago #184

Yes, great reminder about Gabbard and Uyger. It's quite an unmistakable list, and there is no apology or explanation Nixie 17 hrs ago #195

I forgot about his not voting for Biden and Harris. betsuni Yesterday #122

That's not true. Three Democrats will be on the June 9 ballot: Platner, Mills, and David Costello. lapucelle Sunday #106

Costello's polling at 3 to 4%, Mills withdrew from the race, and Platner is the presumptive nominee. sop Yesterday #127

So it hasn't been determined that "the only choice will be Platner or Collins", lapucelle Yesterday #128

You're right, it's never too late; Mills could re-enter the race and Platner could do the decent thing and drop out. sop Yesterday #131

Mills is still on the ballot, but I'm not sure why David Costello is being dismissed out of hand. lapucelle Yesterday #134

I do believe Platner's explanation. Americanme Sunday #5

What's his explanation for sexting? LisaL Sunday #13

I have not heard his explanation for that, or even what the texts were about. Americanme Sunday #54

I find that hilarious. LisaL Sunday #63

On that, I agree 100%. Americanme Sunday #99

Nice switch. intheflow Yesterday #142

Getting it drunk sure, possible, having it for almost 20 years without knowing seems very unlikely to me EX500rider Sunday #56

Exactly. LisaL Sunday #67

He wasn't running for office then MichMan Sunday #100

WTF does it have to do with running for office? LisaL Sunday #111

Because it wasnt a problem until he ran DetroitLegalBeagle Yesterday #135

Amen to everything. If he was so indoctrinated in the military as is claimed, Nixie Sunday #7

He protested a Bush appearance in 2002. WhiskeyGrinder Sunday #10

This is better than nothing, but I was actually hoping for his Nixie Sunday #49

Of course he's criticized Bush/ Cheney! AloeVera Sunday #68

LOL, This is from after he started his senate campaign. Apparently you don't care about knowing why Nixie Sunday #71

Good Lord. He was not a public figure before then! AloeVera Sunday #75

Good Lord, yourself. He was also a former Republican. His own words. Nixie Sunday #76

I see.. AloeVera Sunday #79

Hilarious that you now know nothing about him and are asking for all sorts of links that are all right here on Nixie Sunday #81

No sources, no evidence? AloeVera Sunday #83

More LOL. The answers are all over this site and you know it. Nixie Sunday #86

His interview with NBC News. sheshe2 Sunday #107

That doesn't make him a Republican. Political affiliation is determined by voter registration, not how you vote. AloeVera Yesterday #119

Ummm K sheshe2 Yesterday #120

Platner is a either serial mis-rememberer or a liar, though. lapucelle Yesterday #125

Was Platner lying or *mis-remembering* when he spoke to CNN six months ago? lapucelle Yesterday #126

Was Platner lying or *mis-remembering* when he claimed to never have been "close to money" lapucelle Yesterday #130

Woh, Platner seems to be *mis-remembering* his record of voting for Collins. lapucelle Yesterday #123

Thanks AloeVera Coolgoober Sunday #110

David Costello is also running in the Democratic primary PatSeg Sunday #31

Oh. Does it look like a swastika? SSJVegeta Sunday #61

No, it's the emblem SS death camp guards used on their uniforms. WhiskeyGrinder Sunday #65

It's skull and cross bones symbol. LisaL Sunday #66

Something worse IMO, the insignia worn by the Nazi Death Camp guards EX500rider Sunday #62

It's been used by the German military for several centuries. GCG Yesterday #137
