Platner. But I'd support a planter if it were running to unseat the hypocrite Susan Collins.

I would probably lay off Trump's general lack of personal moral values. It's clear his core devotees don't care about that. They probably secretly admire him for getting lots of women. The grown kind.  And it's not really a swing voter issue. Epstein otoh

In this country, Muslims are free to practice their religion and culture so long as they don't violate the rights of others. If anyone is offended, they don't have to like it, just tolerate it..

But that works both ways. If Muslims are offended by other's lifestyle, they have to tolerate it.

Even though the far right are pretty sure Muslim are about to impose Sharia Law, it seems to be working ok.

otoh, It seems like in Europe, people have been expected to some extent to adjust their lifestyles so as to not offend Muslim immigrants. This might help fuel right wing backlash?

Just live and let live.

This is partly influence of right wing neo-nationalism, not just due to the excesses and shortcomings of the left.

We have been through this. It was not a swastika. It was the tattoo favored by concentration camp guards (and progressive senatorial candidates, apparently).

From what I can gather, it was once a favored warning by makers of poisons too. But kids mistook it for pirate's symbolism so they stopped using it.

The Nazi concentration camp guard thing must be pretty obscure. I had never heard of it, and I know damn near everything.

Most people know about the Swastika, but not the clockwise / counter clockwise distinction..

I would give him the benefit of the doubt and focus on issues.

So much for Tempo's support of "Believe Women" or "Believe All Women" and the #MeToo movement.....

The DoD/W has trimmed the Military's list of officially recognized religions from 211 to 31 

A memorandum to this effect iss signed by suspected bigot and  Under Secretary of Defense/War Anthony Tata..

The Unitarian Universalists, who have what, about 150,000 members? Have apparently objected.

The new list includes:
Agnostic (AN)
Baha'i faith (BH)
Buddhism (BU)
Hindu (HI)
Islam (Muslim) (IS)
Judaism (Jewish) (JU)
No Religion (NR)
Other Religions (OR)
Sikh (SI)

The other 22 are all flavors of Christianity.

Eliminated groups included Atheists, Asatru, Confucianists, Daoists,  Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans..

My thoughts are (1) specified recognized faiths should balance actual need with equality. (2) The abundance of Christian denominations with all the others under one umbrella probably reflects a bias.
