11. We've elected a President who is twice divorced and cheated on ALL THREE of his wives---

as well as being a convicted felon, someone who lost a civil suit for sexual assault,
and rumored to be a pedophile....

so I REALLY could not give a SHIT that Platner *may have* sent sexual texts to adult women
while he was married.... this is penny-ante garbage even if it is true!

I'm DONE with the double-standard which Republicans, the media, and some Democrats
try to enforce that DEMOCRATS have to be PERFECT,
while all the ACTUAL SEX CRIMES committed by Republicans are IGNORED!

Fuck this noise. It's a matter for the voters of Maine to consider,
NOT for US Senators or anyone else who doesn't have a vote in Maine!

And frankly, I don't think most of the voters will give a tinker's damn about it,
with all of the other much more important issues facing us!



Also looks a little too "summer of 2024" to me!
Some Democratic US Senators meddled in THAT Presidential Election,
and where did it get us--- or some of them ???
