With the recusal of ancient Governor Janet Mills—she was just too normal to compete in today's slippery-slope-to-totalitarianism Donkey Party—Maine’s Democrats are about to nominate a guy who generates more punchlines than a Don Rickles roast. He’s really got it all. He’s stupid, offensive, a spoiled rich kid, a commie, and so much more. His schtick is that he’s just a working-class oysterman, a stubble-bearded blue-collar guy who’s going to give all those billionaires who are oppressing Mainers what for. But when anybody thinks of him, they’re thinking of him as Herr Oberstoysterfuhrer.
...
That’s Excuse Number One, that he’s a half-wit. Excuse Number Two is, “Well, I was in the military, and you know how they are, and I just kind of fell in with that bad crowd.” Yes, he’s blaming the military for his Nazi tattoo. The guy is adding blue falconry to his lengthy list of personal failures. I spent 27 years in the military and never met one single guy with a Nazi tattoo. Maybe I just didn’t get around as much. Maybe we didn’t run in the same circles. Or maybe he’s just That Guy, the problem child dirtbag that every single unit has, and who everyone wants to throw a blanket party for.
Now, there’s a third possibility, and it’s not really an excuse. It’s that he is lying. He totally knew what Der Tramp Stampen was and liked it and got it on purpose and only covered it when he got recruited for this Senate campaign, but before it became known. Being entirely consistent with his entire worldview, this explanation seems the most likely one. After all, he’s a big fan of Hamas, and Hamas feels about Jews like…well, Graham Platner feels about Jews....

It’s painful and expensive but it is totally possible to remove a tattoo
Dems don’t care who he is. All they care is he is wearing the D jersey.
Jocelyn Elders might say “I like Eric Platner!” They just don’t care.
Mark Halperin (not crazy journalist) says on supposed good authority the GOP has major dirty on the neo-Nazi...
Easier to cover a tattoo.
Even easier not to get one of those stupid things, in the first place.
He’s just a sexual harrasser.
First, Ms. Omar says that 30 MILLION dollars reported income was a rounding error, then Mr. Plater gets a permanent, indelible tattoo of the NAZI SS Totenkopf, (deaths' head) and claims to know nothing about it's history or meaning. (I think I'll pop down to the tat parlor, and get get a permanent, prominent NAZI-looking tattoo, then maybe I'll find out what it means.)
What nonsensical thing will the Dems lie about next, something as goofy as human caused climate change? (Nah, wayy too far out there.)
