Greg Gianforte reportedly body slams journalist the night before MT special election

[Daelak]

The fact that he won by such a large margin should tell you what the state of the Democratic party is in.

It's 60% less than the historical margin in Montana for republicans.

[zenkai]

No surprised he won, most partisans vote for their no matter what.

... and write in happened before the incident. This isn't where one can claim people voted for a republican, ignoring the assault. Many voted before it ever happened.

We both know who it is. But because of her political clout the now exFBI Director knew he couldn't get a conviction charges weren't brought against her. The same will probably happen with the current PotUS unless he does something like Bill Clinton.

Just curious -- how long with "b-b-b-but Hillary" be the go-to response for any god damn topic?" I mean jesus it's not even relevant here.

As I said at the beginning -- I'm pretty sure attacking a journalist just boosts his standing in the party. It's not like the elected GOP officials denounced him or anything. They probably were secretly jealous they didn't get a chance to body slam a reporter.

Don't be surprised if incidents like this start happening more often. Especially if there are no consequences with the electorate.

Didn't the police get involved? I am sure the reporter will find a way to get money out of it. The person that broke the law will certainly have to pay one way or the other.

So it seems that a teacher and a paraprofessional were caught fighting in a classroom in Atlanta's Dekalb county, and both have been fired.

Gawd, the PC brigade is so hyper-sensitive to violence that they're not only getting Gianforte in trouble by not accepting him body slamming someone else, but now they're firing teachers who just want to have a good old brawl!

[Adam Jensen]

You know something? There are days when I am absolutely convinced that if I only had a little more motivation and far fewer scruples, I'd have been crowned emperor of the entire goddamned universe by now. Because the people currently running the show are unbelievable morons.

There's more spin in that statement than in the top at the end of Inception.

"I don't care that he rapes little girls and eat babies for dinner while masterbating on old men, he's on my favorite political party so I'm voting for him"

Seriously, it's at the point where it doesn't even matter the merits of the person running, only what the letter after their name is.

Or the state Montana is in.

[Edge-]

Or the state Montana is in.

And the Republican party. Especially given the throngs of "conservative" media and elected officials that have jumped to attack the journalist and praise Gianforte for his actions.

It's just continuing the confederate tradition of violence, with a similarly split response to it.

Yes, the spirit of the CSA and the Deep Southern tradition authoritarianism still exists in the modern republican party.

Deep south mentality crept into the fly-over states in the last two decades.

You conveniently neglected to underline the word following "Southern", because that would make your post completely irrelevant. FYI, in case you didn't see that word, it was "tradition", so the phrase was "Deep Southern tradition", or "Deep Southern tradition authoritarianism" (not sure about that last bit though).

I mean, it still is completely irrelevant, but thanks for the giggle.

[Daelak]

Yes it is, midwest mentality of exploiting federal and public lands is very much a classic view of confederates, hello Bundy Ranch. It's the same view with federal nullification as the goal.

You mean like sanctuary cities?

[Felya]

You mean like sanctuary cities?

What about it? Do those cities not pay taxes? Do those cities apply private rights to federal land?

[Stacyrect]

Weren't there plenty of witness's that disputed that he was body slammed? I've pretty much heard all he did was smack the microphone being shoved in his face away.
