This cartoon aired only once during the original live broadcast on April 4, 1998, and was later cut from reruns and most official online versions due to legal concerns or simply being a sensitive topic for a major media corporation like NBC, which is now part of Comcast.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

New statement from Chuck Schumer: "Tonight’s results are a repudiation of the Trump agenda. The cruelty, chaos, and greed that define MAGA radicalism and are skyrocketing costs were firmly rejected by the American people." Calls it "a good night for Democrats and our fight to lower costs."

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

This is what the exact same plan will cost me per month in 2026.

Platner's tattoo is one half of the story (albeit a pretty blatant one) but his being a Blackwater merc should've been setting off alarm bells too. Contract killer is a heck of a work history, even by US government standards.
Yeah the DNC sucks and I'm sick of centrists too but fun fact, a coordinated smear campaign about your Nazi tattoo and history with Blackwater "War Crimes Inc" only works if you have a Nazi tattoo and worked for War Crimes Inc

What I find so curious is why white men have such a bottomless font of forgiveness for other white men. And why pundits consistently tell us we are being too rigid to expect the BARE MINIMUM. If you think this guy is the future of the Democratic Party you have no imagination.

I believe the people going “we have to overlook Platner’s Nazi tattoo because he’s still better than Mills” need to think real long and hard about what happened with people like Fetterman and Sinema.
Hopefully it's a dodged bullet. How many of these ostensibly left-leaning politicians have we seen go full mask-off as soon as they're elected? Fetterman and Sinema, top of the list.
