Yep, the signs have been there for awhile. Remember months ago, the photo she took of herself transvestigating in the ladies room of a Delta lounge? And we all thought she looked quite drunk?
 
A GOPee super PAC is planning to spend $45m on the Michigan Senate race. That's on top of all the other millions already committed.

Sounds like a great time to shut off the streaming and take up reading again.

Ex-staffers are saying she lied. I'm sure they're just disgruntled.

Cameras must be disgruntled too. There are photos all over the interwebs showing her getting hammered at many different events. She's a serious drinker. Heck, I'm a serious drinker. I don't make up genetic conditions to deny it.

All 3 kids in my birth family self-medicated in different ways (fun parents) so I know all about the behaviors and psychology. I have still never heard anybody really get to the heart of addiction except Lou Reed. "It's my life and it's my wife." People talk about addiction as if you lose agency, but that isn't it. It becomes your life partner. You still choose every morning; your will is there, unhindered. And while later in life you disavow your choices during that interval, it's like getting over somebody and thinking "Jesus what did I ever see in her?"

Mom's cousin was the same way. Rum and Coke until the day he died of colon cancer. Never visibly drunk, but always kept up a steady buzz, like 80% of Old Hollywood.

Some people let their own selfishness win every time. AA wants them to say they're powerless, but that part of the program isn't entirely correct. People always have the choice to stop, think, and not to pick up the first one. The addict who does that and drinks/uses anyway, fully aware of their history, has willfully decided to spin the roulette wheel. It might land with them waking up in bed hours later, having suffered nothing but their own health and dignity. It might land with them waking up handcuffed to a hospital bed with a wrecked car and a manslaughter charge.
 
Oh, my dad gets visibly drunk. He does the on off cycles. Drinking day, non-drinking day, drinking day. And when he gets hammered, he makes sure to get hammered.
 
I've never really been into alcohol due to the rampant alcoholism in the extended family, and I'm way too lame for drugs.

altho, with the world on fire and it looking like I have very little future, perhaps now is a good time to start.

Yep, and if he makes it all the way through I bet Platner will be the next fraud. He admits he only joined the military because he "wanted to play soldier". His dad was a lawyer, his mom owned a restaurant, and he went to private schools, so he knows people who have given him his opportunities and who will be expecting favors in return.
 
Maybe, but for now, if he is the nominee, he is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

To get the votes you need to get the seats. We never, ever, ever win by losing.
