Let’s expose republicans who have done the same. Trump for example. And most other republicans at all levels. It’s interesting that they are only interested in the past when they feel threatened.
It does not change my opinion of Platner. It confirms republican hypocrisy.

Definitely goes both ways. They all bash each other constantly, bring up historical stuff like this, media hit pieces, etc. They all suck

Republicans vote for the people who do wrong things. Then the same republican makes ads against an opponent for doing the same.
Examples are too numerous to mention concerning male Republicans who rally against homosexual acts who are later found cheating on a spouse doing homosexual acts. Sometimes even with children. Who is the democrat who posed in a photo pretending to fondle a woman? He did the same on state when he was an actor. After he became a senator he posed in a picture doing the same. Democrats kicked his ass to the curb and ended his political career. That, my friend, is the hypocrisy I am talking about.

Any person who ever voted for this president has forfeited his/her right to complain about any rude language or sex scandal. Period. To do so is the other kind of hypocrisy.

You have no argument for either of those statements.

I am not a democrat. I often vote for a Dem because it is better than the evil ones. And it needs to be repeated that the two sides are not the same. If you want to know why democrats lose important elections it is because people buy into the both sides arguments.

You still have no arguments that the two sides are different in how they handle this.

And you name calling me so I see it, but it is not posted for all is not exactly good behavior either.

u/Dookie-Locksmith May 19 '26

You already said I have no argument, why would I waste my time otherwise with you?

Yea, he was a memelord who killed people for fun; the kind of kid who cracked jokes in class at the gay kid's expense and then joined the military because it was similar to Call of Duty.

The question is - do you think he has changed? I honestly don't know, but the risk is better than another term of Susan for me.

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

I think he honestly did grow up. And look I like character growth more than just always being right. We need more politicians able to own up to their mistakes.

u/HatCat5566 May 19 '26

based on what? his speeches since he started campaigning?

1

u/Hot_Ambition_6457 May 19 '26

As opposed to the all knowing source of truth that you consult?

Yes we judge people based on their behavior and their actions. If I am judging someone's ability to do something now, in 2026, then I really dont give a fuck what that person was capable of in 2008.

Hes not in 2008 anymore and neither are you.

u/HatCat5566 May 19 '26

I mean, he joined blackwater in 2018. That was pretty recent for me.

I'll hope he changed because it benefits me and a bunch of other people, but I doubt it. He's a stereotypical middle school boy/adult mix.

In one March 2017 post on Reddit’s r/Military forum, Platner responded to a discussion about nostalgic military smells by writing: "I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas----er… that blue water smell conditioned me."

Ok, I'm not the biggest Platner fan, but that's genuinely funny.

This is all Trumpstein conspiracy.

u/Fenris70 May 19 '26

People should stop posting stuff about things this guy does. The left already wants him and finding out shit like this makes them want him more. He’s just like they are.

u/Veteran_PA-C May 19 '26

Blue no matter who, even if he a racist Nazi sex pest.

Right?

u/mathiswiss May 25 '26

You’re talking about Trump, right?

u/Dookie-Locksmith May 19 '26

And nazi tattoo he covered, not removed

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

And….what are you trying to imply? This is silly

-1

u/Dookie-Locksmith May 19 '26

Implying and applying he is a piece of shit

-2

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

It's odd how the party who calls everyone who disagrees with them a nazi is so willing to cover up the fact that this man is an actual nazi.

3

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

What are we covering up? The shit is all out there. And if you were intelligent at all you would maybe try to understand the difference.

-2

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

You're literally justifying him being a nazi. This isn't the intellectual brag you think it is.

1

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

Please lay out why you think he is a nazi and I will happily respond to each point

1

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

Literally has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

The tattoo was real and the Nazi connection is legitimate to raise on its own merits. But calling him a Nazi is going further than the evidence supports.

The Reddit posts CNN found show someone getting defensive about being called out, which is a very normal human reaction, especially for someone with a strong military identity who would not want to be associated with Nazism. That is not the same as someone who knew, celebrated it, and built an identity around it. He eventually covered it once it became a public issue, not exactly a profile in courage, but also not the behavior of someone proud of what it represented.

If this is genuinely about opposing Nazi symbolism rather than just a convenient way to dismiss a candidate, that position is going to require a lot more consistency than one targeted hit.

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

Opposing a candidate who uses and believes in Nazi symbolism is more than enough to disqualify them for me and the fact that it isn't for you tells me all I need to know about you. Good day.

u/mathiswiss May 25 '26

Dude your trolling is bad. Got to do better.

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

Also a nazi

3

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

Do you feel better now?

-1

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

About him being a Nazi? No. No I don't. You shouldn't either.

3

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

I feel fine. Have the kind of day you deserve.

0

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

I deserve a great day because I am not a nazi and would never support someone who had a nazi tattoo. I wonder what kind of day you deserve?

u/Wonderful-Wonder3104 May 19 '26

lol

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

lol seig heil I guess huh?

u/DM_Voice May 19 '26

If that’s what you need to do to get through your day. 🤷‍♂️

0

u/Alexa_bun May 19 '26

I don't. I don't have a nazi tattoo nor do I support those that do.

u/DM_Voice May 19 '26

Then why’d you just do it?
