Here’s my search result for Platner.
Let Maine decide. That’s my primary stance.


If you didn't know much about Platner you may now know more about him than the average Maine voter.
Platner is just a good ol boy Maine oyster farmer. Vote for Platner !!

Platner might be a Nazi in sheep's clothing, but he's better than a moderate. Lol

I vote 98% Democrat. I’m more of a political prisoner than a willing participant.
You're being a victim again. 😂😂

What does Cordavis do ?
They produce biosimilar products, one of which is a biosimilar to Humira.

What does the Humira biosimilar product do ? It reduces health care costs to the consumer.

As its first product, Cordavis has contracted with Sandoz to commercialize and bring to market Hyrimoz® (adalimumab-adaz), a biosimilar for Humira®, in the first quarter of 2024 under a Cordavis private label. The list price of the Cordavis Hyrimoz® will be more than 80% lower than the current list price of Humira®.

HUMIRA may be used to treat people who have:

Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis
Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease
Moderate to Severe Pediatric Crohn's Disease
Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis
Moderate to Severe Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis
Psoriatic Arthritis
Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa Ankylosing Spondylitis
Moderate to Severe Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Intermediate, Posterior, and Panuveitis Non-Infectious Uveitis

Which disease state with a lower cost alternative upsets you the most ?

I don’t really give a fuck about the tattoos. It’s what you do and say. Hegseth literally talks like a psychotic Christian Nationalist. If Platner ever held extreme views he seems to have moved past that. I suppose it’s always possible he’s another lying sack of shit like Tulsi Gabbard, but he’d almost definitely be an upgrade over Susan Collins, regardless.
He seems to have moved past that.

He had his Nazi tattoo that he'd worn for 18 years, covered up within hours of the tattoo becoming public knowledge. You would have to go all the way back to 6 months ago for when he covered it up.

He seems to have moved past that.

Except maybe for when he was on Redditt.
Calling himself a communist (2021): In a thread about people becoming more conservative with age, he wrote: “I got older and became a communist.” He also described himself elsewhere as a “vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist.”

cnn.com

On police (2021): In a military subreddit thread about police mistreating a Black Army lieutenant, after someone said “Cops are bastards,” Platner replied, “All of them, in fact.” He made other anti-police comments, such as “Fuck these cops” in discussions of police violence.

cnn.com

On rural white Americans (2020): Responding to a thread titled something like “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks,” he wrote: “Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.”

mainepublic.org

On political violence (2018 and around then): He wrote variations such as “Fight until you get tired of fighting with words and then fight with signs, and fists, and guns if need be,” “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice,” and advised that anyone expecting to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle “ought to do some reading of history.” He also urged people to “Get Armed, Get Organized.”

en.wikipedia.org

Anti-gay slurs and crude humor (2016–2018): He used “gay” derogatorily (e.g., “write gay poetry about how gay your current job is” in a post about guard duty) and described explicit “gay off” contests or crude stories involving Marines and British sailors. He later called this language abhorrent.

Praise for a Hamas raid (reported in 2026):   :D In archived comments on a 2014 video of a Hamas raid that killed Israeli soldiers, he reportedly called it “an all around well executed and successful small unit raid.”

Jesse would be vastly better than anyone else Mn would throw his support to.
I voted for Walz in 2018 primarily due to his education platform. Little did anybody know that he wanted to teach kids how to become little socialists who can't read or do math.

Math and Reading Scores Under Gov. Tim Walz
Minnesota’s math and reading performance has declined significantly since Gov. Tim Walz took office in January 2019, according to multiple analyses of state and national assessments.

Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs)

In 2024, 49.9% of Minnesota students met or exceeded grade-level standards in reading, 45.5% in math, and 39.6% in science — the first time since the MCAs began that majorities of K–12 students were not proficient in both reading and math FrontPage Magazine.

These figures represent drops of over 13 percentage points in math and 10 points in reading compared to 2017, when majorities were proficient in all three subjects FrontPage Magazine.

Some schools have no students proficient in math at all FrontPage Magazine.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

NAEP data show that Minnesota’s 8th-grade reading and math scores have remained above national averages but with a narrowing gap since the mid-2010s Center of the American Experiment+1.

The 4th-grade reading score is now below the national average for the first time since 1992, and 4th-grade math scores have also narrowed Center of the American Experiment+1.

Long-term trends indicate steady declines since 2019, even as per-pupil spending rose to $15,730 Center of the American Experiment.

Historical context

In 2017, before Walz’s tenure, 59% of students were proficient in math, 60% in reading, and 54% in science FrontPage Magazine.

By 2024, these percentages fell to 45.5%, 49.9%, and 39.6% respectively FrontPage Magazine.

Critics argue these declines mark some of the worst performance in Minnesota in three decades FrontPage Magazine.
Other factors cited

Chronic absenteeism has more than doubled since 2017 steelecountyrepublicans.com.

Analysts note that “historic” funding increases have not translated into improved outcomes, with much of the new money going toward mandates rather than academic improvements Center of the American Experiment+1.
Summary
Under Walz, Minnesota’s math and reading proficiency rates have fallen sharply, with majorities of students now falling below grade-level standards. While NAEP scores still show Minnesota above national averages, the state’s relative edge has eroded, and historical comparisons suggest a significant deterioration in academic performance.

That's my Governor. Stumping for the insurgent Democrat progressive political newcomer oyster farmer.
Sounds impressive.

Most people would see something very specific here. I’m guessing Mn sees “a Christian.”


Is that an SPLC employee ?

Congrats to TSJ and the next men up.

And the Wild sends Dallas packing. A noice sports night in Minnesota.

Haven’t heard you complain about Hegseth’s tattoos.
Which one bothers you ? The American flag ?

Money In politics! We will hear no genuine complaints about it from someone here....

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/us/politics/janet-mills-drops-out-senate-race-platner-schumer.html?unlocked_article_code=1.e1A.WTlQ.lGbUsIZLbVLY&smid=url-share

Gov. Janet Mills of Maine, the Democratic establishment’s choice to run for the Senate seat long held by Senator Susan Collins, a Republican, suspended her campaign on Thursday, saying she no longer had the financial resources to compete against Graham Platner, a progressive political newcomer.

The 'insurgent Democrat' is now a 'progressive political newcomer' after covering up his Nazi tattoo. 🤷

That is normally how those things work..Quid pro quo is seldom explicit.

See the prosecution and conviction of Senator Robert Menendez.
'If the prosecutor isn't fired, you're not getting the billion dollars.'
J Biden
No quid pro quo.

'Many of us have read the transcript and have a different opinion. The FBI, the OLC and the DOJ interpret that very differently than this witness did.'
C Stewart
Definitely a quid pro quo.

I remember that too. It was nod, nod; wink, wink.
In your opinion it may have been.
I'm not sure that you can say "It was ....."
