I think if you’re OK with Graham Platner working for Blackwater, you have officially lost the moral high ground required to yell at anyone else for working for a military contractor or being in the military ever again Like sorry you gotta choose!

It’s a LOT of money, though. I knew somebody who went from making $30k a year shooting video for the Army to $1,000 a DAY working as a contractor in Iraq. Dumb guys generally don’t know about the stuff Blackwater did.

That would almost be a fair point if it weren’t for the fact you had to qualify it with “dumb guys”. Like shouldn’t we expect Senate candidates to have an above room temperature IQ or…?

have you seen the average Senator? I could count the amount of non stupid senators on my hands and I’d struggle to get to the second hand.

That's not a dumb guy. A dumb guy is somebody like me, who went to law school at UNC and decided to become a public defender instead of trying to find a law firm job or going into private practice where I probably could've been making in five years what it took me 20 to get working for the state.

I mean, a smart guy would do the math and say, "Fuck making moral and ethical choices and trying to do something with your life that possibly helps someone and stands up for a system you believe in, I could be making the money." Me, I was just too dumb to American correctly, y'know?

ICE pays well too, are we going to be making those guys Democratic senators in 15 years?

how many of those guys went to Hotchkiss and had lawyer dads?

I went to a fancy private high school for a year as an exchange student. No shortage of incurious dumbfucks in those joints.

Then it sounds like he's not fucking intellectually curious enough to be in the Senate, since if we take him at his word, he didn't even know his tattoo was a nazi tatto until late last year.
