A real hellraiser


Hard to understand how an at large district can be so heavily weighed in favor of republicans but elect a democratic senator at least twice in a row. That's the same district isn't it?

If by district you mean state, yes.

Is Gianforte an established politician, at least on local level, or just some guy running for the first time? That audio doesn't sound like a guy who can keep his composure at all.

your cats go on walks? impressive

If you don't want to confine them to life indoors but you can't let them roam unsupervised it's a good compromise. A friend of mine walks his cat because it has FIV and he can't let it interact with (well, bite) other cats.

He ran for governor and lost. That is the extent of his political career. He's the typical Republican businessman run government like a business hack.

Montana has also been represented by Dems pretty consistently over the last several decades, a former union-heavy state thanks to loads of mining and now several of the larger cities have loads of college students and hippies, it's a definite purple state.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

1992: Vice President Dan Quayle not knowing how to spell "potato" is a tentpole political gaff.

2017: Congressional candidate Greg Gianforte jackknife powerbombs a reporter on the eve of his election.

2042: "The debate here isn't that the candidate owns a homemade skinsuit, but rather in how many he owns."

Half the country actually are raving lunatics though. The best case scenario is someone thinking "man, I wish I could bodyslam a liberal journalist, but that would look bad. It would also look bad to vote for him so maybe I'll stay home and jerk off while posting about the evils of masturbation on my Christian forum".

Yeah he's pretty much the archetype of a rich white guy who thinks because he has money he'll take a shot at politics. He loving flooded the place with ads last year and it was a sweeter balm than can be imagined that amidst the horror of election night, he learned he had pissed it all away. Insha'allah, he just ensured history repeats.

And Republican voters are still voting for a guy who holds the position that ordinary people should be required to work up to the point they keel over. I'm sure that isn't in his own self plans.

I should be inured to it by now, but I'm continually amazed at their willingness to vote for Republican politicians who are completely open about their desire to screw those same voters over.
