"You're being lied to about Graham Platner" [View all] mainer Yesterday OP

Platner knows the truth about the robber barons and Wall Street. This is why the POB will oppose PatrickforB Yesterday #1

What does POB mean? ShazzieB Yesterday #15

I think they meant the PTB, ie (the) Powers That Be Celerity Yesterday #16

Interesting, I was under the impression he had shopped around NG units until he found someone to write a very generous WhiskeyGrinder Yesterday #28

Do you know what this is? RetiredParatrooper Yesterday #51

It does track. ShazzieB Yesterday #35

If he had the SS runes, it would be a different matter RetiredParatrooper Yesterday #49

Not really. No. Talk tonsomebody who served in his unit or an adjacent one. SSJVegeta Yesterday #17

"Talk tonsomebody who served in his unit or an adjacent one." Are there interviews with people he's served with? WhiskeyGrinder Yesterday #30

There are plenty enough probably on this site (not necessarily from his unit) but SSJVegeta Yesterday #34

Oh I didn't mean culture-wise. I'm very familiar with that. I just meant is there was anyone who could vouch for him as WhiskeyGrinder Yesterday #39

Yeah in that case you are right. Nobody has publicly come out and endorsed him who served in his unit (AFAIK). SSJVegeta Yesterday #46
