      Why do you think I defend Collins? Why are you that my very obvious point that YOU HAD BETTER CHOICES AVAILABLE isn’t the point?

        Because the PR campaign that made up the story about the Nazi tattoo started in her office.

            He had a skull and crossbones tattoo that vaguely resembled the SS skull and crossbones. In the way that all skull and crossbones designs kinda resemble the SS symbol.

            Platner is a Nazi like the SS were Caribbean pirates. Actually in all three cases the symbol was chosen for the same reason. In that, they thought it looked cool and spooky.

            He got the tattoo as a kid in the Marines. Kids in the Marines do stupid shit. It’s an entirely reasonable explanation and the only reason to discount it is if you’re participating in a smear campaign on behalf of Susan Collins, or at least republicans in general, or you’ve fallen victim to it.

            Either your motivations or your capacity for rational thought are suspect.

              We fundamentally disagree about reality. Good luck with life, Nazi apologist.
