Wildly disagree. I love KC, but there isn't much that compares to California. Example: the lack of mosquitoes, chiggers, humidity.

Probably. Art dot com passed 100m in sales back in 2010 but is a privately held company so I can't say for sure.

Law enforcement is responding at this hour to a building on Discovery Drive south of Bozeman, where a national political reporter alleged that he had been assaulted.

The reporter, Ben Jacobs of The Guardian, claimed on Twitter that he was assaulted by Republican U.S. House candidate Greg Gianforte.

“Greg Gianforte just body slammed me and broke my glasses,” Jacobs tweeted.

Jacobs was being evaluated in an ambulance at the scene. Gianforte was seen sitting in a vehicle nearby and had been speaking with Gallatin County deputies earlier.

Gianforte left the scene shortly before 6 p.m. without speaking to reporters.

The Hyalite Fire department has told the Chronicle that one person was taken from the scene to Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital.

Alexis Levinson, a reporter for Buzzfeed News, told MSNBC that he had given a statement to the sheriff’s office. In tweets and on air, she said she saw Jacobs go into a room where Gianforte was.
Follow the Chronicle on Facebook and join the most active news conversation in Bozeman.

“I heard the crash and saw his feet fly,” she told MSNBC live on the air.

The Chronicle has reached out to Gianforte’s press office and is awaiting a response.

The campaign event, a barbecue, continued at the campaign headquarters without Gianforte.

Chronicle reporters are on the scene. This story will be updated.

The document that prompted his new conference in July about the investigation being over, then his subsequent statements that played a not-insignificant role in Trump winning was a fake, likely produced by the Russians.

Man, the Post seems to have a good source for Comey stuff. They've been leading on a lot of these stories.

But reading the article... I'm not even clear on what the allegation is here. Apparently there was a probably-fake piece of intelligence reffering to an email that never happened, between two people who don't know each other, claiming the justice dept. had assured a Clinton staffer that the email investigation was going to be dropped, and this took place after that Bill Clinton encounter with Lynch on the tarmac at an airport. So Comey supposedly decided to drop the case against Hillary in a big public way, in part to make sure that he did so ahead of the justice dept., because he was worried that if he dropped the case after the justice dept. did, people might think the justice dept. decision - which was tainted by the Bill encounter - had improperly influenced the FBI investigation.

I mean, what? Comey is a sack of poo poo but this is bizarre. I'm struggling to believe a guy who had it in for Clinton from the get-go would have made such a big deal of angrily dropping the investigation while basically opining in public that Clinton hosed up super bad - which was super unprofessional on his part, given his own study concluded she didn't break the law - solely because some dodgy bit of russian intelligence suggested a justice dept. aide had told a clinton aide not to worry, they weren't gonna dig too much. That would have been an implausible thing to believe even if the email had been real, and regardless, Comey would have nailed Clinton to the wall if he had been able to come up with a single actual law she'd actually broken.

Something doesn't smell right here, but it's such a confusing chain of events that I'm not sure I've got it right.

e. Why wouldn't comey just ask the justice dept if they were really gonna drop the case or not investigate? They could hardly tell him "oh yeah we're totally gonna investigate so hard" and then immediately drop the case. Or if he thought the email was real and represented an improper contact, he could have investigated that, but the article says the FBI never talked about it to either of the supposed sender or recipient of the email.

Trump just can't stop blabbing to random dictators. He told Duerte that we have two nuclear submarines stationed near north korea, which you know, probably not the best idea to basically tell NK exactly how many subs we have over there and roughly where they are?

Aside from the obvious "if you talk about a submarine that's out of port you've said too much" thing I wonder if Trump realizes that nuclear submarine as a term describes the propulsion system.
