    Does anybody care that Drop Site’s author and founder Ryan Grim supported Graham Platner, who has a skull-and-bones tattoo resembling the Nazi Schutzstaffel’s symbol. Grim also shared posts by Sulaiman Ahmed a friend of neo-nazi Nick Fuentes. And Drop Site recently outright posted right-wing Tucker Carlson as if he is a credible source for anything. Grim also interviewed Tim Dillon, who once dressed as an antisemitic caricature of a Jew that’s “controlling the media”.

      The totenkopf, specifically. I cannot tell you the literally COUNTLESS skull-and-bones tats I have seen on everything from Deadheads to Jolly Roger flags that have fuck all to do with Nazis. A tat on an oyster farmer doesn’t bother me a bit, and given this administration’s fondness for all things Nazi, including Pete Hegseth’s own array of actual Nazi tattoos, I think you’re looking in the wrong place for offense.

      But hey, if you’re gonna go there and start equating appearance with substance, then what I really have a serious problem with is Republican Senator Susan Collins’ pearls.

      She prefers clutching them to doing anything practical at all, except advancing the Republican party’s goal of abdicating their own constitutional powers to a would-be dictator as he destroys everything we care about, and right this very second is credibly threatening to wipe Iran off the map. Those pearls have absorbed a great deal of Sen. Collins’ power, authority, and duty that could have and should have gone to support her constituents and her country, and they are a disgrace.

      Remember when she said she was certain Trump had learned his lesson? I do. And when when Trump officially kicks off WWIII – if he has not done so already – I will remember that woman’s useless, corrupt fucking pearls that helped put him there and keep him there.

      If I were a Mainer, I’d vote for Platner in a heartbeat.

        So just because there is something or someone worse we shouldn’t criticise others anymore or what are you implying?

        please don’t tempt them… every time we say it can’t get any worse… these subhuman abominations take it as a fucking challenge. At this point in time if proof was shown saying that they ate the babies while they were still alive… I would not even be surprised anymore. at this point in time… if you can think of something vile and evil… chances are they already did it and we just don’t know yet.
