UPDATE: During a video on X, Graham Platner has resigned.
Most people understand the dynamic with Graham Platner has come down to price. How much are the Communists going to have to pay to get the Nazi rapist to leave the Maine senatorial race.
There are various storylines surrounding the negotiations [Example Here], but the bottom line is how much can Platner get for his exit? Former Communist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders cashed out for a couple of new houses and various indulgences within the party apparatus. Sanders is also reportedly counseling Platner on terms.
Platner has until Monday at 5:00pm to exit so that Democrats can appoint a replacement candidate.
…”Two sources say Katz has told allies he believes Platner should to leave the race before the 5 p.m. Monday deadline to withdraw from the ballot — but wants the exit to be on the candidate’s terms.
“It’s quite clear that he’s [Platner’s] gonna have to get out of the race,” a second source told The Post. “Their reluctance here … is a result of their larger political project, trying to get these types of candidates into places of power. {SOURCE}

Fetterman: “Trash took itself out”
LOL
Let me guess … He wants a payola bigger than Bernie’s?
Maybe handing over Epstien’s Island can sweeten the deal?
Joshua Chamberlain is rolling in his grave.
Also Neville!
Welp, if the going rate is two houses and a garillion $ book deal for President, I would think one house, a new oyster boat and some sort of amnesty for the rapey stuff would be a strong opener.
It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
Wasn’t that one Mansion for letting Hillary have the nomination and one Mansion for letting Sippy Cup do the same? I think the indulgences were squeezed out of Sippy Cup.
You are a tough negotiator, Jim. Can we get amnesty and a used outboard and call it a day?
Darn it! I was hoping he would hold out over the weekend.
His wife was given a pass for nefarious bank dealings.
” It would be a shame if your girl went away for bank fraud.”
That might not be much of a threat.
He seems more high turnover player than husband material.
Wait, hang on. Are you telling me the democratic socialist party and rinofopm is about money and not F’ing equality and principle?
I am at a loss of words.
Edited to include their counterparts on the other side of the F’ing aisle.
>> “I am at a loss of words.”
Hey, hey, the word is ‘equity’, not ‘equality’
Just a lucrative oyster contract would do.

Hillarious man. Snorted my beer
When I see Gloria Allred, and a woman claiming rape, it sets my spider senses on high alert. There seems to be a pattern.
The Democrat party have dug their own grave.
All of them have seats at the banquet of consequences now being served.
I hope Platner, maître’d, tells them all to get stuffed.
Jerry Nadler enters the chat.
Don’t count on that grave being occupied any time soon. Never underestimate the ignorance of the average voter.
How right you are.
Or you could write it this way:
YOUR VOTE
YOUR CHOICENever underestimate the power of the machines.
Platner needs to consult with Bernie Sanders (DSA-Vt) who did the same for Presidential Primaries in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
Bernie always screaming against the Oligarchs while becoming an Oligarch.
He is going retire with a half dozen houses and millions more in his pockets.
Quite the racket where he only needs to campaign several months every few years.
Why isn’t he in jail awaiting trial for rape and kidnapping?
because he’s a democrat
Is Susan Rice on deck? 🤔
Hillary is MOVING to MAINE i Heard thru the Grapevine…
Even Graham won’t touch that….oh maybe that’s not what you meant.
We already got Bushes, Tucker Carlson and a host of other globalist and socialist types from away screwing up the State for normal salt of the earth Mainers.
Their collective voting habits have made a mess of the local economy and standard of living, ditto taxation. Locals whose families have lived here for centuries can scarcely afford to live here as it is. Young people are moving away in such numbers as to skew the demographics.

How long till that Henna cover-up starts to wear off?
Unfortunately for Platner that Nazi thing on his chest is not henna.
(In my view the down-sides of tattoos completely overwhelm whatever the up-sides are.)
I don’t understand the dynamic here.
Sure, sure, I get he’s soooo odious and Maine Dems need to set terms to oust. I get that.
What I don’t get is WHY. I thought the play here was put a stinker in to assure Susan Collin’s reelection.
Are the communists thinking they have enough power now to oust old Guard players like Collins and Schumer Jeffries and even Thune and other more stealth traitors?
Not getting the change of heart on stinker Platner.
This
Is the SOB taking the whole of the F’ing democratic socialist party with him?
Good to see them eat their own. And it works both ways! It’s a win-win!
>> Good to see them eat their own
Ugh, how extremely UNappetizing.
The real question is not who replaces Platner …. it is what key votes are coming up in the senate and what else will Susan Collins have to do keep her seat.
Thune is the mediator between Collins and DNCC … just as McConnell was 6-years ago.
Maybe she can come out strongly in favor of the Save America Act since a vast majority of the people support it. Maybe she can bring a few of her friends to the party.
I think a yes vote on the Save America Act is the only way Collins and other pretenders can save their seats.
It seems the money and energy is to the Islamo communist globalist nihilistic candidates right now.
If the save Act actually passes, those voting yes have a chance of using their name recognition to keep their pretend statesman gig going.
If it doesn’t pass, the cheat will go to the rabid crazies.
Dream
She’s not that bright.
Unfortunately.
All roads lead to Thune and all Thune’s roads lead to Langley.
The descriptive phrase “controlled opposition” comes to mind.
We know that Thune is playing for the other side. Collins is a safe uniparty vote on anything that matters. Thune is in the catbird seat – he wins either way as he sits and watches Collins and her opposition-to-be fight it out.
He can put up enough of a pro-Collins show to masquerade as having really tried, but to have her come out as strongly pro-save America in an all-out effort to retain her seat ultimately opposes his de facto position and controlling use of power, as underwritten by Beijing.
I think “they” see an opportunity to rid themselves of the Old Guard pretenders (like Collins) and push “Forward”.
Onward and Downward!!
What a shame. He was perfect fit for Democrat Socialist Party. (sar)
He IS the Democrat poster boy. His mistake was in being too obvious about who Democrats in power really are- scum who get away with it because of power. Had he won this would be swept under the rug as a control tool.
What does the victim get?
Under the dimocrap system the victim would get incarcerated.
Republicans should outbid the Democrats and get him to stay in.
I did some searching on “Platner tattoo evolution” and there are a couple photos of a known Nazi skull design, although there isn’t a sequence of Platner showing how his tatoo was modified along the way, as he wasn’t taking his shirt off and showing off a couple years ago before it was modified to its present appearance

Just as with Swalwell, the Democrats pulled off the same political hit job against Platner:
As soon as they were in danger that Platner will lose the Senate race, they pulled victim Jenni Racicot out Just before the deadline (7/13/26), she came forward with allegations raping her in late 2021, saying he broke into her home while intoxicated and forced her to have sex despite her objections. Platner has denied the allegation, which Politico first reported on 7/6/26.
The outcry is even greater than with the earlier allegations; Platner will resign and—like Harris, who also bypassed the primary voters—is replaced by a viable alternative, and the matter is settled for the Democrats.
Is it also settled for the DOJ? Since the statute of limitations doesn’t expire until the end of 2026, will there be an investigation (due to broke into house and rape allegations?
State crimes, not federal. If she lived in DC, DC would prosecute, not the DOJ.
That’s a logical assessment, but it is a dangerous play as Collins and a respectable Democrat will split the vote. Not sure that would even matter though.
Maybe the dems are afraid Dem voters will stay home and they will lose all their other races on the ballot.
Out in July dam now I will not get to see the October Surprise
Great news because we need oysters here in MA.
Bull’s Bay Oysters are better.
So the prize is Susan Collins? Ugh.

*PLATNER SAYS HE WILL QUIT IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SUDETENLAND, CZECHOSLOVAKIA AND A BAVARIAN MOUNTAIN RETREAT.
AND STEINER MUST COME.
No Fegelein ?
Does he get to keep Blondie the dog, too?
With Susan Collins, the rat side of the uniparty still has an ace in the hole.
Is Team Susan Collins banging the media with messaging in Maine?
Good question.
Probably had a choice from the DNC: Quit, or commit “suicide”
Hillary was getting right on it.
It’s called Arkancide!
Democrats would still be backing him if he was ahead in the polls. They knew all this crap about him and backed him anyway. The only thing that changed was this latest allegation.
Dems backed a guy who appears to be a Nazi sympathizer, a veteran slanderer, and much more. Now they want to pretend they didn’t know about him. Total B.S.
He’s just suspending his campaign, not withdrawing….yet.
Janet Mills also suspended her campaign, but is still on the ballot, too.
This could get more interesting,
“Show me da’ money”! 😉
Let’s us get rid of the bastard McConnell and let the dems worry about themselves. No one seems to care the guy is half-dead and his wife is running the show.
Once in awhile,
a candidate has the fortitude, and verifiable actions, to out live the
(hidden, yet entrenched, and envious, political opponents)
mudslinging allegations (without verifiable proof ),
and shine.
Once in awhile….
It could be good that that occurred more often.
( but, that also takes citizens that do not easily take wooden-nickels, for nothing )
imho
Before the c-dems became c’s,
someone wrote a song in the late 60’s
about a father remembering the precious moments of a young daughter.
p.s.
When this song was playing at parade on the 4th,
I asked some people chiming in….
‘ Who is caroline ‘ ? (hint, not related to neil diamond)
They did not know.
The song has been around for about 55 years.
In general, people do not know.
John K liked his young daughter Caroline K… like many fathers like their daughters (helping them to learn about good things in life)…
good times never seemed so good.
And, the c-dems changed…. not for the good….
imho
55 years of information available about a song many have heard
– and people do not know the rest of the story?
Then someone does a hit job, coordinated with media –
and supposedly everyone knows something in an instant?
( but, do they know the rest of the story? )
hmmm…
Anyone find it interesting that the timing is such ( dem nominee due date )
that
discovering the ‘rest of the story ‘
gets bypassed?
Whom benefits in a derived hasty miss thought process?
Haste makes waste.
Hint:
the circumstances have happened before….
..and the repetition ( of nefarious politics ) is ridiculous because people still fall for their ploys – which empowers the nefarious.
Not much better, maybe worse,
than when eve was tempted by evil to commit the original sin…and adam did it too ( miss thinking they would be like God )…
Imho
We still can choose good, over evils…
imho
Apparently his income is primarily from 100% disability for PTSD, not from selling oysters. I’m thinking the VA should be investigating that. He doesn’t look the least bit disabled.
He made something like $3,000 from oyster farming according to his financial statement filed with the DNC. Not much of an oyster farmer…for this vicinity!
Does income affect the disability payment, ie a lower income person would get more?
Not a military disability. You can also work.
His only customer is his mother’s restaurant.
Easy money for essentially hobby work where his mother owns a restaurant.
Guess the tourists buy it up too.
I thought the 3K was his disability payment.
Just saying, but PTSD is the real deal, and, yes, it can make it virtually impossible for someone to hold a job for very long. I don’t know about Platner, but I do know about PTSD.
If he’s on 100% disability due to PTSD, serving in government isn’t a good idea, regardless of his character.
Bingo!
Never intervene when your enemies are destroying each other.
Don’t worry! The Republicans will come to their rescue. They always do!
So Susan Collin’s was scared enough to buy out the trash.. Poor Maine, politics says a lot about their state of mind..
The Old Hag saw to it Old Bernie got a nice house. So this loser can expect something, that’s certain.
“I’ve got this thing, and it’s f#&%ing golden. I’m just not giving it up for f#&%ing nothing. It’s a f#&%ing valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing. If I don’t get what I want … I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.”
— said Rod Blagojevich (and Graham Platner.)
I want to laugh, but this is some sick shi. Democrats are souless and beyond shame.
Platner already made his demand and it’s even bigger than expected. Backing out will ruin his reputation and his political career…
He stuck around enough to get paid. Hope he rots in hell
Isn’t Tucker from Maine?🤣🤣🤣

You forgot Langley
Yeah, they bribed Bernie Paidoff with houses.
But what he really got was his wife not arrested. After she looted Burlington College, the FBI put her on Permanent Investigation to keep Bernie in line.

*THE LAST STRAW WAS WHEN PLATNER PROPOSED CHANGING “DOWN-EASTER” TO “DOWN EASTERN FRONT”
Sorry, what?
Downeaster | English meaning – Cambridge Dictionary
Down Easter (ship) – Wikipedia
You can’t get there from here.
Splatner…has a nice ring to it, eh?
Does anyone think that this might be an op to place someone in his place that would not be accepted by voters in a primary?
What does this say about the people of Maine? Vermont too for that matter. North Eastern intellectual snobs are worth less than a bucket of spit. Who supports a communist pervert like this D bag? Asking for a friend.
“My name might be on the ballot right now, but that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine.”
That is probably one of the most noble things he has expressed in his life. I wonder if he came up with that on his own. Probably not….
How ironic. Democrats rallied around the execrable Platner before because, as Democrats, they thought they could gaslight what they perceived to be a strong candidate against the incumbent to a win, rape and assault allegations be damned. It’s an old playbook of theirs (“bimbo eruptions,” anyone?). But when the allegations start coming in from a “true believer” who otherwise supports Platner’s radicalism, but takes issue with being raped in the process, time to toss the playbook, all the gaslighting in the world isn’t going to sell it.
So what do the Dems want to do now? Well, what comes naturally! Toss the man who got the votes and install someone who they think can win, without baggage that can’t be gaslit by their media acolytes. It worked for Kamala, and if it’s good enough for a presidential contest, it will certainly do for a senate run.
The modern Democrat party is the most anti-democratic, misogynist sewer I’ve ever seen in politics. And yet, like brainwashed seals, there will be crowds of glassy-eyed, mind-numbed true believers lined up to cheer and applaud whoever the party installs to replace the Nazi.
And yet this is the feckless, corrupt party against whom the Senate Republicans claim they are powerless to get anything done? 0.0
J
He is so full of shit. Good riddance, Dirtbag!
A repeal of the 17th Amendment would have prevented this mess…………..
Whoever Collins ends up facing is certain to have soiled him or herself in some major ways with the Platner mess. And whoever that is will continue soiling themselves in the effort not to turn off any of his far-left supporters.
Collins may not be the incumbent that any of us would prefer, but she is all there is and she is much more preferable than seeing whatever leftist ends up replacing Platner on the ballot. Collins has a golden opportunity to use the Platner mess against whoever they put up, but I suspect she will want to play nice like so many of her kind prefer and will not take advantage of what the anti-democratic Democrat party has laid at her feet. It is long past time for her to wake up.
Each and every day the communists in the DNC reveal themselves.
They can’t help themselves.
Will bubba whose grandpa always voted Democrat since Roosevelt ever wake up to what they are voting for….?
Nope.
Bubba would rather cut his own throat with a butter knife than stop voting democrat.
Just think, the party thats going to (save democracy) is the same party thats going to [select] it’s candidate – again. One can’t make this s%&t up.
