Montana election shows how Ftup this country has become>

independentusa said:
And not because the GOP candidate won, that was expected in Montana where they believe the worst GOP candidate is better then the best Dem candidate. That is pretty typical of GOP voters. No, what it really showed is how Trump has made news people targets. When the GOP candidate kind of apologized for his actions, people in the crowd were yelling out that he had done the right thing. If it was anywhere but Montana the GOP Candidate would have been in jail. But of course the Sheriff had donated money to the GOP candidate so it was just a misdemeanor assault, even though he not only body slammed the reporter, but hit him several times while he was down on the ground. He then did a Trump and put out a lie that the reporter had basically attacked him. I guess he thought that the Fox Reporters there would support his claim, but instead they backed the reporters version. So our country has come down to allowing physical attacks on reporters and thinking that it was just great and then accepting any lie told by your party as long as it support your opinions. We are a pretty pitiful country for sure and Trump is leading us farther down that road every minute he is in office.

A sad day for America when politicians attack reporters for asking a question. If this had happened in Detroit they probably would have arrested the reporter but the politician would have been in the hospital..Maybe Montana is an all Republican state but if he likes his party he best look over his shoulder Independent voters are leaving the Trump base. next election he may have Montana but that's about all.:peace
 
Oh yeah, we know how tuff Trump is. He had to go take a nap because he got too tired on his trip and started to walk off in an interview with the head of Israel looking like he was out of it. Of course he weighs a ton and looks like a fat elephant. He could drop dead any minute with all the weight he carries. He is so much more manly than Obama, who looks healthy as one can be.

T rump will lose that's a given not a matter of if a matter of when.
The problem is a question; Will the Republican party become collateral damage?
If they keep following Trump they will and it will be a long time before they recover.

Montana, a great place to be from. Sadly most of my friends and family are still among the knuckledraggers.

It's a good thing this happened in Montana. If it had been, say...CA, the police would have tossed him in jail...a liberal judge would have denied bail...he would have won his election while behind bars...and he would be convicted in the court of public opinion and sentence with expulsion from Congress.

Instead, he's been charged, he'll have his day in court and a REAL judge will determine his guilt or innocence.

Like this Montana judge?

Man repeatedly raped his daughter and the judge said he was a good man and gave him 60 days in jail.

Lol yeah it can, but the skiing made up for it.

That it can. I haven't gone skiing in years. I first went to Big Sky circa 1980... it's unbelievable how much that place has changed over the years. My son always got a season pass to Bridger when he went to MSU.

Having season passes to Bridger Bowl led to a very bad freshman year at MSU for me. There is little as beautiful as the drive from Bozeman to Big Sky. And yes Big Sky is big money now, not like the little $20 bunkbed hotels we used to stay in.

So, in your world it's OK to assault someone if you're a few years older than they are.

Interesting world you live in. What color is your sky there?

Ask yourself that since currently 99% of politically motivated violence comes from Progressive Liberals.

Cuz this kinda **** NEVER happened under the Obama presidency.

TTTTRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!



Hi Congressman! Do you support the Obama agenda?

Commence assault.

but...TRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! !!!!

So, where is the Obama campaign footage inciting a crowd against the Press? Where is there a connection to anything that Candidate Obama said or did? Do you have any corroborating footage, or is this just another of your "half-baked" rants?

BTW, that was rhetorical question. If you don't know what "rhetorical" means "Google" it.
 
You sound just like my brother, make up data on the run. Well, unless you want us to know you made the percentage up, give us a LINK!!!!!!!!

So, then it's OK to assault a reporter if you're not a "liberal." That, and the age difference makes it all OK. In fact, the guy must be a hero to stand up to the liberals that way.

Geeeeeeee zus. You people are a crack up. I simply dont believe any of you are as stupid as you are deliberately portraying yourself to be.

The mere fact that this most recent incident is not a one of and that in fact it happened during previous administrations shows just how completely ****ing stupid the comments are that blame this one mans actions on Trump. Previous incidents dot excuse this one. Etheridges actions did not indict Obama. That you people are hell bent on making the connect shows just how willing you are to sacrifice your personal integrity to try to score some inane political point and it is driven by your weird and frankly, unhealthy TRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! hatred.
 
VanceMack said:
I didnt say it didnt get covered. I said this kind of bull**** didnt start with TTTTRRRRRRUUUUUUUMMMMMMPPPPPP!!!!! That incident happened back in 2010. So if you are looking at the Montana incident or the Trump election as a starting point you are either blind or pushing an agenda.

Maybe the agenda part.

You are absolutely correct, stuff like this didn't start with Trump. But let me ask you, are you one of the people that portrays all kinds of things you disapprove of go back only as far as Obama when, in fact, they also go back much farther than that?

Eh, this is really more of showing a downside of early voting.

I am not a fan of early voting, either.

I wonder, though, if some voted on election day and voted FOR him precisely because of this incident? Given today's hyper-partisan atmosphere I'd bet some did, though I cannot guess if it would have been enough to change the outcome. He might have won anyway.

I ABSOLUTELY regularly commented on Obama's actions and if you go back and check the tapes what you will find is my comments were SELDOM about Obama's hypocrisy, but about his minions. Example...Bush bad....Wiretapping. Obama gooooooood....expanding wiretapping. Bush bad...drone attacks. Obama gooooooood...expanding drone attacks. I get it. When you are a candidate yousay a bunch of **** you dont mean to appeal to your voters...then you have to face the real world and do your job. Obama expanded damn near every negative thing he said about Bush. But his mindless followers? The same people that spent 8 years bashing Bush? They excused and justified every single action by Obama. My comments were SELDOM about Obama (the fabled ODS). They were invariably about the hypocrites that supported him.

I'd like to know how he knew this reporter was a liberal did he announce himself as a liberal, was it on his badge , maybe carrying a sign? Most reporters just want answers, except for the few on Fox news.
