I was thinking the same thing. He has to have an account on here.

With all his hypocrisies it could be any getlibber.

They still have 4 million votes to count for CA governor?  Whiskey Tango Foxtort.

Does "Foxtort" have some secret meaning I am missing?

It's difficult to find any American politician today who isn't a sexual degenerate.

I’d agree, but I don’t think the term applies to Platner.

Mr. Platner could be rough with her, Ms. Fifield said, particularly when they were drinking, leaving her shaken and sometimes afraid. In the interviews, Ms. Fifield grappled with how to process her experiences. She was quick to note that he “never hit me, he never punched me.”

But she said he regularly grabbed her by the shoulders — sometimes hard enough to leave marks — and, on one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car.

During one argument, she recalled, he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out, telling her to remain there until she was “calm.” Eventually, Ms. Fifield said, she fell asleep and left the next morning.

Here’s the most damning part of the story.  It’s certainly not good behavior but less sensational than the headline suggests.

He said he would rape a guy that broke in but "not in a gay way." He has to have an account on here.
