Here! Today! Graham Platner has dropped out of the Maine Senate race. Well, pretty much, it\u2019s hard to tell. Platner doesn\u2019t seem to be much into introspection\u2026 which is the mark of a real blue-collar man, amirite guys? Donald K. Trump knew that Graham was a pig, and kindred spirit, the moment that he saw him. Democrats, however, haven\u2019t been quite sure which one of themselves that they should blame for this, but do agree it will put them at a perfect advantage once they replace Platner with the perfect candidate that they all can become arrayed behind. Gops wouldn\u2019t get in a mess like this, because they don\u2019t. Maine has fewer gubernatorial vexations. Mallory McMorrow doesn\u2019t have Nazi tats or screw around, but she\u2019s out anyhow. Meanwhile, Mike Rogers is a strong candidate. He\u2019s the STRONGEST candidate RARR! Trump flew his phony baloney Air Force Oneto Turkey and flew the real one back. After all, what\u2019s the point of being safe if you don\u2019t look cool? Trump  had reasons, which were not believed, to which our Master Prevaricator shouted in retort, \u201cThat\u2019s simple, I was only LYING!\u201c Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear wants Mitch McConnell to update him on his health\u2026 Ha, the joke\u2019s on Andy! At NATO, Turkish President Erdogan handed out guns like party favors. What will Mark Carney and Keir Starmer do? Trump should have no problem, as long as he has enough suit pockets empty of silverware and signing pens. A judge has ordered that E. Jean Carroll\u2019s $5 million be  released to her. Maybe, she got it today. Federal Judge Emil Bove\u2019s verdict is that he luvs Donald. Zohran Mamdani is a \u201cfootball\u201d fan who will call it \u201csoccer\u201c, no problem. He  does not like VAR, however. Trump doesn\u2019t know what a red card is for, after all, his favorite sport is \u201cruining things\u201c.
