    All I'm saying is its not much different than modern day rural Mississippi or Alabama. But the Islamophobia is real. Faux News and MisInfoWars send them into a frenzy. But then you do have your liberal hippie types too.

    This is Trump’s fault. Hopefully they charge him as a co-conspirator.

    So far it looks like the body slam hasn't really changed much at all. Also Yellowstone county is said to have gone Gianfort which was considered a must win for the folk singer.

    ....................

    Seperate rant-

    It's just crazy we live in a country now where you can literally assault a reporter for asking a regular mundane question about healthcare and there is a significant enough amount of Americans to win elections hands down who say "Hell yeah... screw the fabric of our Democracy. Screw freedom of the press".

    We are truly living in a horrible time in our nations history and honestly it shouldn't be completely unexpected. We have a horrible history of tearing each other apart, entitlement, apathy, discrimination, and outright stupidity. It's still the greatest country in the world but we are heading in a very dark place. This election is looking like a referendum to that notion that despite everything (facts, violence, our own wellbeing) we will still go tribal.

    A huge amount of the vote is early voting, which wouldn't have been impacted by Gianforte's idiocy. More's the pity.

    It's official: Gianforte just won. Now what? He has to fight the assault charge, correct? Will he stick to his lies regarding the events and risk a perjury charge as well?

    Hope that it all gets dismissed for "lack of evidence"? Lol

    BTW, democrats need better candidates. Wtf is a folksy singer?

    Yet another democrat loses

    Despite the Guardian's attempts to interfere with the election.

    Prediction - libs will be outraged because their echo chamber media sources have them convinced the left would win.

    Shameful that you are happy that a person who assaulted another man won an election. Your true colors are showing and they are ugly. bigtexxx admits to being amoral and willing to look the other way on assault.

    Innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't been convicted of assault.

    It's now a given that the libs will have their excuse for losing yet another election. Russia, assault, etc. they have to have some reason for them to feel like they were right. It's like in sports when you lose, but then you call the opposing team's fans classless. Gotta have a reason to make yourself feel better.

    First of all, we're not buying the "innocent until proven guilty" bit. If it were a Democrat, you'd be the first to be the judge and jury- as you've done many times before. Two eyewitnesses, including one from Fox News, and his campaign doesn't deny it but blames the reporters, and you're peddling that horsecrap? Nope.

    Innocent until proven guilty is a matter of law. Gianforte will get a chance to prove his innocence or get convicted and hopefully sentenced and stripped of his seat, bringing more shame upon the Republican party (if he is guilty).

    That said, we also know that there are credible witness accounts of the assault that generally corroborates one another. The public can't wait until the courts make a decision, because the vote was today. Sure there is a minor chance that Gianforte is completely innocent, but the overwhelming information that has been released so far points to violent behavior from him. The good news is, Republicans are a combination of dumb and/or morally bankrupt, so there are no doubt some voters who voted for him thinking he is going to be innocent, and there are some who voted for him not caring that he assaulted someone.

    I'm just going to leave this here for all to see what a sorry person you are. This might be the worst thing I've ever read on the board. You're wanting me to get in an accident and feel pain, at which point you would chuckle and pop champagne.

    Meanwhile, I'm just starting my day here in Mykonos Greece, living a life of excellence.

    Starting your day in Mykonos, Greece arguing with people on the Clutchfans D&D doesn't sound like a life of excellence. Nothing better to do over there? Sad.

    From a native and current resident of Montana, let me just say that your statement is a load of crap. Complete and utter crap. Montana has some of the nicest people in the world living here and would give you the shirt off your back if you asked them...brown skinned or otherwise.

    Heck, we even welcome ignorant "city people" like you!

    Hard to gauge given the circumstances, so I mildly said it's may not completely represent the GOP party until you realize the party leaderships care about win at any cost and not remotely about character. But that's already mostly a given with Trump leading the pack. This is the GOP party. A party of low moral and character.

    Just to be clear... Montana republicans chose party over country and just elected a violent criminal to the United States House of Representatives. Just let that sink in for a minute.

    What's next for republicans now that violent criminals are acceptable....rapists? Murderers? Russian collaborators? Just curious as to how low republicans will go...
