I must have missed it but I just read that Kelly Anne Conway sat on a couch with her shoes on and legs crossed on the cushion. Can you believe? The nerve.
Yeah, that was a thing because of how pissed the right got when Obama put his shoes up on the desk. Ironic turnabout and all that.
The story you linked is no longer available because it was "not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny" required by Fox News. I think that means it was completely made up. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/23/statement-on-coverage-seth-rich-murder-investigation.html http://www.snopes.com/2017/05/23/fox-story-seth-rich-retraction/ http://www.snopes.com/seth-rich-dnc-wikileaks-murder/ Carry on.
A GOP candidate choke slams and punches a Guardian reporter the day before his election. Every single single about this is hilarious. I'm torn: on one hand, it's a politician committing felony assault. On the other hand, it's the Guardian and I have a hard time distinguishing their reporters from human beings.
Even Fox News is covering the story, which is saying something. Gianforte has now been cited for misdemeanour assault. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...d-for-misdemeanor-assault-after-incident.html
Why does it have to be THIS INCIDENT that has a room full of reporters, a politician starts swinging....and nobody gets it on film?
I don't see why they wouldnt cover it. It just won't be 95% of their content until Trump does something egregious.
It may have been filmed, but that is being held as evidence in an ongoing investigation by the prosecutor? That reporter on Fox gave a full account, which I'm sure is the same witness statement she gave to the cops. Since the majority of the votes have already come in, why didn't that dude just issue an apology, instead of blaming the Guardian guy? Seems really dumb. It's a misdemeanor, and he'd be able to plead "no contest," I assume - unless maybe he's been convicted of assault before. All he had to do was say, "During yesterday's press briefing, I became agitated when being pressed by a reporter from the Guardian. I lost my temper and reacted in a way that is not becoming of the office I am seeking, nor is it typical of my behavior. I apologize to Mr. Reporter Guy and to my constituents, and I am plan to fully cooperate with the Sheriff's office during their investigation. I look forward to putting this incident behind me, and I ask for Mr. Reporter's forgiveness. Since this in an open investigation, please direct any further inquiries to my attorney."
They tend to shy away from things that make the GOP or Trump look badly. I think that regardless of any outlet's political leanings and slant they have banded together as a united front when it's journalists vs administration. This is them protecting their own, which trumps anything Trump. That being said the talking head on Fox News was reporting a conflicting version than what was on their web site. Ahhh, politics and propaganda. It'll never end, just get more sophisticated and effective.
The assaulting a reporter part is def hilarious, but my personal favorite thing about the guy is how he doesn't believe in retirement because it's not mentioned in the Bible and, like, Noah built the ark when he was 600 so why the hell do you think you deserve a Social Security check grandma? He's also funded a creationist museum to put dinosaurs in a biblical context, donated to organizations working to privatize or eliminate Social Security, and thinks we shouldn't have anti-LGBTQ discrimination laws because then people won't want to start businesses anymore, and I cannot wait for him to have a say in our laws.
Oh hey he won anyway, because that is who we are now. In other news, Trump getting all the respect he deserves. But I'm sure that shoulder pat at the end really put him in his place. https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/867807337364500480
Or maybe because once again, people were presented with two horrible choices. http://billingsgazette.com/news/gov...cle_a660f016-9229-5e3c-9114-f831a0ba012f.html
Financial troubles doesn't make you insane. Believing the earth is actually younger than the trees growing in Northern California (as Governor Chokeslam believes) DOES make you insane. Or monumentally stupid. "Stupid, violent and insane" goes well with American politics these days, but it shouldn't.
I'm not sure he actually believes that though. It looks like a pretty standard republican statement on the issue to me - It looks to me like he's just leaving it open so that the nutty young earthers can interpret it as he believes it in the man walking with dinosaurs sense, but doesn't have to openly state that he's full blown retarded. Or maybe he is full blown retarded. He did donate to that bible museum, but I think it's more of your typical case of just saying what a republican has to say... sadly has to say.

Since it's a link to a page that asks me to blindly accept their terms and conditions before continuing, would you care to give some Cliff's notes to as far as what we're supposed to be looking at?
It's the national library's site, so nothing nefarious. It's a column written in 1973 poking fun at all the excuses given by Nixon defenders. They're nearly word for word what we're seeing today with Trump.
And yet more Russian smoke with Kushner proposing to use Russian diplomatic communications to set up a backchannel with the Russians. I have no idea if there is fire here, but I do know that if you were someone who believed in the Seth Rich and/or Clinton Conspiracy and don't believe there is something wrong here, your credulity is simply partisan.
