Lindsey Graham dead at 71While it’s in character you’d think if they could pull that off they’d have poisoned Zelensky instead.

Mildly Interesting - PeopleMy understanding is you can still order a short it’s just not on the menu. I haven’t tested that in about 15 years, but that was well after they introduced the venti and took the short off the menu.
Once I ordered a grande and the woman didn’t hear me well and said ‘venti?’ I said ‘no, sedici’. No one but me laughed.

What did you think tribal sovereignty meant?Interesting. I didn't realize the Seminoles were in Oklahoma too. Must have been trail of tears origin.
I only recently found out that the Seminole nation owns Hard Rock Cafe.

PlatnerThe disability stuff is probably unfair. Unlike SSDI the fact that he can farm oysters doesn’t make him ineligible for VA disability.
But the ‘prolier than thou’ stuff was always a ruse. He was an upper middle class kid who went to a very fancy private school until he got kicked out. His father bought his house for him. He told friendly press that he only makes about 5k a year farming oysters and his mom’s restaurant is his only business. He makes almost 5k a month on disability.

PlatnerThis disability fraud allegation is unproven to say the least but other than that….
I know it was hard to see this coming at the time, but in hindsight a guy who invented a fake backstory to pretend he was working class despite being the son of a corporate attorney and failed at literally everything he tried his entire life to the point the totality of his income came from federal disability fraud and a fake nepobaby oyster farming business that only made money because his largest customer was his mommy's restaurant may have been a poor choice to run for Senate against an three-term incumbent who's never won by less than 8.6%

PlatnerFrom a piece in WaPo
Platner’s campaign team held a call Wednesday afternoon in which leadership sounded resigned to the idea that the Democrat’s bid could be ending soon, said a Democrat close to Platner. The campaign staff was told that Platner would speak about the future of his run Wednesday night.
He could drop out of the race as early as Wednesday, probably by prerecorded video, said a second person close to Platner’s team who, like others in this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid alienating fellow Democrats in what has become an increasingly tense situation.One of Platner’s key advisers, Morris Katz, flew up to Maine from New York on Tuesday to discuss his withdrawal, said the person. But Platner, whose political support has evaporated since he was accused of sexual assault on Monday, has struggled with the decision, people close to him said, and has said he would like input on the replacement process, leaving the timing of any announcement unclear.
“It is him who is wanting to hold on,” the first Democrat said. “He is having to come to terms that his dream is dead. The show is over, this is done.”

PlatnerThis literally dropped yesterday. When I first saw it I thought it was satire.

PlatnerIt seems beyond obvious that if his primary goal were beating Collins he would have already bowed out quickly and let the voters choose someone they feel is best suited to do that.
The fact that he hasn’t shows he’s more interested in maintaining a cult of personality and winning a party factional war.
