You don't need a control case to see that halting shipments of bombs and weapons to a nation commiting genocide would have saved thousands of innocent lives.

In the US, the market has soured on EVs and the federal tax credits have gone away.

Outside the US, China is eating their lunch.

Oh, you know -- the usual shower of Twitter chuds saw the racially diverse cast and took the film as a cultural assault on Western civilization.

They dismissed it as wokeslop before they had even seen it, and now that the movie is out and a critical success, they're beside themselves.

He also appears to be in suspiciously ruddy health for an 84-year-old man who's allegedly been at death's door for weeks. I don't buy it.

A few years ago, I would have dismissed this type of thing as tinfoilhattery, but hear me out.

Don't you think the way the newspaper is incorporated into the shot is odd? The positioning is strange -- like it doesn't quite belong with its surroundings.

Well, what if someone took an old photo and used AI to add today's newspaper in at the bottom of the frame? When you zoom in on the newspaper headline, it looks like gibberish.

Could it be compression artifacts? Maybe. But even then, the shape of the letters looks very odd. Doesn't even look like English.

If no stronger evidence materializes, I reckon this is a fake intended to buy some time.

That third Belgian goal was pure comedy. The 4th was just the icing on the cake 🤌 A well deserved drubbing, all round.

One of his aides told the NYT:

“If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for."

Fortunately, there is such a candidate - Troy Jackson. Despite being sidelined by the media during the primary, he's working class, a union guy, and a progressive. He has even been endorsed by the Maine chapter of the DSA:

The obvious move, then, would be for Platner to stand down and make way for Jackson to take up the cause.

Nah, it's curtains this time. Just watch.

I'm not talking about the establishment: Hasan Piker. Emma Vigeland. Krystal Ball. Wajahat Ali. Ro Khanna. Abdul El-Sayed.

They've all publicly come out and said these allegations seem credible and that Platner must concede.

No but they are a strong indicator of the way the wind is blowing. The Maine Democrats organization has just also called for him to stand down and the pressure is quickly mounting.

Soon the pressure to drop out will be so strong, his base will splinter and he won't have a choice but to concede. It's looking pretty much inevitable at this point.

Nah, he's cooked this time. Many of his high profile supporters who stuck with him through the previous allegations are currently retracting their endorsements on Twitter. He's done.

Can't wait for the new DSA firebrand replacing him to implement the billionaire wealth tax and M4A, once and for all!

Oh, wait ... Fuck.
