26. Not like we didn't have most of it

Tue Jul 7, 2026, 12:04 AM

Tuesday

All the stuff the OP routinely dismissed demonstrated Platner's disregard for women.

You don't get to ignore Platner blaming women for rape, admitting he mistreated multiple girlfriends, sexting a bunch of women right after getting married, and dismiss claims of physically abusive behavior because the accuser was a Republican and say there's no way you could know Platner mistreated women. That the OP regularly belittled people (including me) for bringing that up means they absolutely was aware of it, they just chose to not acknowledge it because they liked what Platner was selling.
