Hi. In today's episode, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan talk about the Graham Platner controversy, Trump wanting the Justice Department to pay him $230 million, Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House, Trump feuding with America's cattle ranchers, and more. Trump is the president! Sorry.

As always, we recorded right before that big thing that happened.Video Version: https://youtu.be/eUcV9B0GlXA

I cancelled my Majority Report subscription because they’re trying to gaslight us by saying, this is the only Nazi thing he’s done….ya know don’t look at that thing where he served with a bunch of Nazis for a private mercenary group that’s know for war crimes. Don’t get me wrong he may still be the best choice in Maine. But that doesn’t mean this shit should be hand waved away, and he should be treated like some progressive hero. So here’s hoping I’m not canceling my Some More News 🤞

Burrito

Wow. We’re already on episode 1 of season 382. Where DOES the time go?

Uthor

Yeah, my neighborhood is doing Trick or Treat this Saturday. The rest of the town does it on Sunday. It... RULES! It's always on a Saturday, (most) everybody has the weekend off, the neighborhood goes all out, the decorations are insane, there are always huge crowds, and the adults tend to stay up and have fun after the kids pass out after filling up on sugar.

Kim

Isn't the Maine election still a year away? Have a real primary and see who else is out there! Surely Mills and Platner arent the only possible choices?!???

Sam Larson

I haven't listened yet, but the thing to do with Platner is try him for war crimes.

Todd Stura

I thought Platner’s coverup tattoo is a Norse image of Ragnarok and Fenrir destroying the world. Replacing crypto(?)Nazi symbol with Norse is sketch af. Also, I think a lot of people are not ready to come to terms with how regressively right-wing our military members are, and how many symbols they love to tattoo that just so happen(?) to overlap with a lot of the same symbols white nationalists love so much. Roman stuff, Norse stuff, totenkopfs…

I have seen some responses online regarding the East wing, people commenting that Obama had the basketball court built so it’s all the same thing. Exhausting.

Jonathan: Do you wanna hear him say that? Me: [reflexively] NO! Honestly, I wish they would only read transcripts of asshats. I understand why they need to play the clips, but I don't want to hear any of them.

Steve Snyder

I made it to the nine minute mark and then tapped out. Fuck whoever this Graham is, fuck Susan Collins, and fuck Trump. I’ll see y’all next week.

Place Holder

If you put a gun to my head and asked me what a totenkopf was before this week, then I would be a dead man.

Brooke

This EMN makes me think Graham is just another Kyrsten Sinema or Fetterman plant, where they say all the right things, get into office and then shit all over possible progressive change. With Susan Collins being the other option, this seems like a really tough choice to make.

markchd

There are too many big things every day. Which big thing happened right after this recording?

Annie McGraw

I'm telling you--Graham platner is dark sided and we don't want to be stuck with him. It's better to have that old broad who's going to die soon who more likely isn't a Nazi. My gut has spoken.

Timothy King

I really do get the skepticism but if you listen to the whole Tommy Veitor interview I think it’s a really believable and frankly pretty encouraging story of his evolution. Every step of the way from the marines to the army to blackwater to disillusioned Reddit troll to then maturing and reflecting on how monied interests fucked up America foreign policy and how broken the system is just kinda tracks as like how people are. And I personally had a grinder with an iron cross when I was fourteen and didn’t know it was nazi shit until my 20s. Once you see the it you can’t unsee it and and once you hear the dog whistles you can’t I hear them but I truly believe the average American has no idea what 99% of these nazi symbols and slogans are

You can't go to town on the racist young Republicans one week and then apologize for the guy with the nazi tattoo the next week. I'm pretty disappointed.

Jessie Gustin

Watched This on YouTube couldn't find the video version here. Weird. Anyway, I swear the DNC is complicit with MAGA . I think Plattner will turn out to be another Simema /Fetterman situation where a secret NAZI would enable Trump. Time for the rise of a third party. The DNC and many Dems won't even endorse Mandami who won the Democratic Primary against Coumo. That doesn't sound very Democratic to me

Alex White

Reasons to give Platner a six-year non-refundable term of power over the American people: - Blind faith - Literally zero more acceptable candidates can win the primary next year Reasons not to give Platner that: - If he didn't know it was a totenkopf, he shouldn't be in charge in a period of routing out Nazis from the halls of power - If he knew it was a totenkopf, he's AT BEST a former Nazi who's pretending he isn't one - Fetterman, Synema et al have demonstrated the dangers of electing someone who sounds like they'll sass the right with no actual proscription against lying - Too much doesn't seem to line up. Even if we assume the Jewish Insider angle is all wrong (so he isn't a military history buff and didn't know it was a totenkopf until recently), why did nobody tell him when they saw him topless? Why didn't he question weird looks and people leaving when they saw it? How was he deeply online in the late 2010s without ever seeing the Mitchell & Webb sketch? Has he never seen it in the news about right-wing neo-Nazis? - The fight is, in part, one of symbols. The right can't entirely avoid being associated with the Nazis from all the fucking Nazis that keep being revealed in their ranks. You CAN'T elect someone with a still sorta visible Nazi tattoo without conceding that ground and permanently shifting the Overton window - There's a year to find and promote a better candidate.

Cory Hammerschlag

Damn, I missed the conversation. I guess it's nbd since my extraordinarily nuanced take is "I believe that people can change and I think Planter is still the best option, but this is a lot of red flags so if someone better decides to run I'd definitely get behind them."

Leorge Gopez

I'm not going to comment on Platner in particular, but I don't think the idea that a veteran being proud of their service is a red flag unto itself. Maybe that's not what you meant to say but it sounds like it. If there's one thing the left continues to shoot itself in the foot on, it's purity testing and how it stands in the way of coalition building. Veterans are one of the most abused populations by the conservative legislation paradigm and while there are some folks that proclaim proud complicity ideologically with the military industrial complex and American imperialist agenda, the reality of most service members and veterans political orientations are far more nuanced, just like the general population.
