We all have a past, some not so good, but to climb higher is the noble cause. May the LORD rebuke the liars, and send all the pure hearts to our high places of power. Amen.

Yes, Allison. Compare how Graham has learned from his past and criminal Donald hasn't.

Nor has Susan Collins learned anything.

Speaking to that, I like two of Public Servant's couplets here:

"He faces the tide where the fascists would go,

Drawing a line that the tyrants will know;"

and

"He fights for the mills, for the homes, and the street,

Ensuring no worker will suffer defeat."

Graham is going to be the best of the best as a Senator. Just like as when Biden was a Senator. I live 5 miles from Joe. I know him personally. He and his wife Jill, are doing fine. Good hearted individuals. Full of love. Graham has the exact same charisma, demeanor, character and Love as Joe Biden has. Graham is going to do magic in the Senate. I am 100% positive and sure he will make the changes that need to be made in Washington! Love you Graham! I am a country boy from Southern New Jersey...."COWTOWN" New Jersey Now live in Delaware.

I just watched this deeply thoughtful discussion about Platner by two very committed Democrat Combat veterans, Ken Harbaugh and Kris Goldsmith (who spoke very vulnerably about his own PTSD). This is an example of the kind of healthy masculinity we do not see often enough. It is one of the most meaningful videos I watched in a long time. I hope all will take time to watch https://thekenharbaughshow.substack.com/p/the-graham-platner-debacle-w-kris?utm_source=podcast-email&publication_id=3168532&post_id=205787756&utm_campaign=email-play-on-substack&utm_content=watch_now_button&r=7vxhp&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

The past of adults informs us of the future. We need to find another Dem. With the recent revelations, he can never win or be completely trusted and admired. MAGA will crush him.

I hope you might read this by a fellow combat veteran. I found it very educational https://dbarkhuff.substack.com/p/on-platner-and-me?utm_source=direct&r=7vxhp&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Thanks for posting this column by a veteran, whose thoughts on the topic were enlightening for me. I've subscribed to him as well.
