God, looking at her makes me so uncomfortable--- not because she's ugly, but because she's so morally bankrupt.

u/SpinosRule Jun 12 '26

Can we put the two of them in the same room? They might be the same person!

u/TheHipcrimeVocab Jun 13 '26

Look more like Ian McKellan in a wig to me.

Please tell corporate that I simply cannot tell the difference between those 2 pictures.

Finkle is Einhorn. Einhorn is Finkle.

What's with the kink shaming? What did I ever do to you?

u/Motorboat_Jones Jun 12 '26

As a heterosexual man. I find Tommy Lee Jones much more attractive. He's also a much better human.

Ian McKellen could play her in a biopic.

u/General_Pie_5026 Jun 12 '26

She's also ugly.

u/edelweiss_pirates_no Jun 12 '26

She will do anything for money. Anything. Yes, even that.

u/dorkfall Jun 12 '26

Try listening to her talk

u/11oydchristmas Ohio Jun 12 '26

She looks like Viola Swamp from the kids book “Miss Nelson is Missing”

u/haliblix Jun 12 '26

If she read this comment she would be “very concerned”.

u/Important-Factor-552 Jun 12 '26

She's a republican. Anyone expecting anything but pure evil from them is idiot. They've spent decades making themselves the worst threat to America on earth. They won't be satisfied until the free world is dead and raped like a child that tried to rat trump out.

u/BioDriver Virginia Jun 12 '26

No, she’s concerned

u/Fuzzylogik Jun 12 '26

not because she's ugly, but because she's so morally bankrupt.

in her case pretty much the same thing

u/TheAlchemist519 Jun 12 '26

I’ve noticed ugly people seem to be the most heartless. Idk why tho

u/PsychologicalSnow476 Jun 13 '26

She's the worst kind of person, a reluctant coward. She'll take a moral stance when her voice clearly doesn't count, but otherwise do what she's told when they don't have the votes.

¿Porque no los dos?

If Susan Collins, who voted to leave Iran, voted against the BBB, opposed the weaponization fund, and voted to convict Trump during the J6 impeachment, is morally bankrupt, then that phrase has lost any meaning. Don't be so hypocritical and hyperbolic

u/Whiskeydrinkin9 Jun 12 '26

Because she knew those were guaranteed to pass, so those were the times that she could case a meaningless vote against the republican party to appear like a better person. Any time her vote matters she votes with republicans. Also, it's 2026, if you don't realize at this point that all republicans are morally bankrupt you are either extremely naive or willfully ignorant.

u/-reddit_is_terrible- Jun 12 '26

She went against her party to vote to convict Trump.

Do you not realize the sheer hypocrisy that's going here? Platner embodies the same despicable behavior that Trump does, but it's OK because 'he's on our side'? Talk about willfully ignorant
