The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...here's one!

When someone asks me how insane the democrat party is, I show them this:

Pod Save Platner: Obama Bros Described Hegseth Tattoo as 'Dog Whistle' Before Helping Maine's Platner Fend Off Scrutiny for Nazi Tattoo
Platner, a candidate for Maine's Senate seat, admitted to keeping a Nazi tattoo on his chest for nearly two decades but said he didn't know the meaning


When you've sold your soul to the progressive devil, there's literally nothing you won't do to try and get power. No lie you won't tell and no amount of gaslighting you won't do.

Witness...this board. Witness...much of the left.

The former Obama White House aides Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes, now hosts of the podcast Pod Save the World, helped the Maine Senate candidate frontrun the news that he has a Nazi tattoo emblazoned on his chest—a stark contrast to their condemnation of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's tattoo of a Jerusalem Cross as a "dog whistle" for "white nationalists."

Platner revealed on Monday's episode that he got a tattoo resembling a Totenkopf—a skull and crossbones associated with Nazi Germany and white supremacists—in Croatia in 2007 while serving in the Marines. He claims to have been unaware of its symbolism, though associates have refuted that claim, with one saying Platner "knows damn well" what the ink means.


So the democrats, who shout long and loud about how the Republicans are Nazis are running for Senate...

...a guy with a massive SS tattoo emblazoned on his chest.

Some lib will come along and try to claim that tattoo has a perfectly innocent meaning, but save it. You'll just be making my point.
