Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

AFAICT Platner is either a complete idiot or a secret Nazi… either way, as much as Mills sucks (and she really does suck, though in a Schumer-esque non-Nazi way), I’d vote for Mills in the primary right now (if I lived in Maine). One Nazi-adjacent foible for Platner would be bad enough, but he’s up to at least three.

If he had any sense, and/or wasn’t sympathetic to Nazis, after the tattoo he would have been careful to check every social media post, and every interview request, to make sure they were Nazi free. That he hasn’t is disqualifying for the primary, IMO.

For the general, he still appears to be less Nazi than Collins (since he’s not a Republican), so I guess he’s got that going for him.

You know, they say where there’s smoke, there’s fire. But what if there is smoke, and flickering light, and a crackling sound of flame…?

Barbeque time? :slight_smile:

I don’t think there’s anything “secret” about it at this point.

Pierre Polievre blasts “medieval Marxist retellings” of… (checks notes)…the legend of Robin Hood.

59-year-old musician whose last Top 40 single was in 1996 says it’s the CIA’s fault that the kind of music he likes isn’t cool anymore.

The Smashing Pumpkins has been my favorite band for 30 years, but I’ve never been a fan of Billy Corgan as a person.

He’s less of an asshole since he had kids, but he’s still something of a nut.

I for one am still utterly baffled that, in his side hustle as a wrestling promoter, he decided to put the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on a Fox News pundit and KEPT it on him for nearly a year.

Question: What do Green Party candidates do when they’re not running as spoilers for the Democrats?

Answer: “Uncover” the Jews behind the “rise in transgenderism”

This lady has been in the Green Party since 2007, but before that she was somehow elected to the House as a Democrat for six terms.

She’s clearly getting crazier with age. In fairness, though, she hasn’t been associated with the Green Party for a long time, as the Party felt the need to remind everyone in 2023 when she promoted a livestream with David Duke. How much of a crazy conspiracy theorist do you have to be to get the Green Party to feel like it needs to distance itself from you?!

He reportedly told investigators he didn’t know the devices were illegal.

SC is getting Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk roads.

Might be useful to both describe what you’re talking about and include a non-paywalled article.

For other’s benefit: idiot plants bombs all over town then asserts post arrest that he had no idea bomb planting was illegal.

I’ll take the back roads, thanks.

That’s where they sell the best boiled peanuts.

I’ll take the roads leading AWAY from South Carolina!

He tossed all 20 into one trashcan, apparently not rigged to explode. So another way to put it could be “guy decides to throw away 20 home-made cherry bombs, gets arrested”.

The original wasn’t paywalled for me, but here’s another.

Well sure. That’s clearly not the correct receptacle for explosives. His town takes sorting one’s trash seriously.

Which is why he was only charged with twenty counts of possession of an illegal explosive.

He needed to place it in the clearly-marked bin for explosives.
