What are the Ozarks? What are the Appalachians? My dude, I'm from the west and I give my Virginian/North Carolinian gf poo poo about growing up next to hills, but you're a goddamn idiot

The Ozarks are a series of hills. The Appalachians are a series of hills.

I am just like confused that there is any question about this at all.

Like, I like potato chips, but I don't call potato chips lasagna. The Appalachian Hills are a geographic feature that have no wilderness areas, that are thoroughly suburbanized, and that are covered with freeways.

They are also the home of Gianforte, who grew up in suburban Pennsylvania. If the people of Montana accept him tomorrow, it is a sign that they have believed that the same ridiculous beliefs that you have: that someone who grew up in the suburbs of Pennsylvania somehow is our equal because they decide to put on an outdoor costume.

lol I will have to watch this. The fact that Chaffetz is such a dick and won't even be honest about things while he waits to resign is a symptom of how spineless and weak-willed Republicans are.

I set it to start at the part about Trump's hotels and Chaffetz' absurd "whatever they say is right" answer but the "hostility" between them came earlier in the interview. Its not like a yelling match of anything but Wolf actually pushes back on some of Chaffetz' bullshit, which is drat near fighting for Wolf.

Its not some GREAT clip, it was just weird to see Blitzer kind of do his job. And its Chaffetz' usual bullshit.

Lol Gianforte and his ilk are a giant pussies. They get physical and tough with women and smaller stature men. It seems to go the other way when they talk to larger men journalist however. These folks are the definition of fake tough guys. Imagine if Trump talked to the construction workers that he contracts out with his tough guy bullshit? He would get smacked in his face and he knows it.

I'll have you know that tiny hands means smaller area/force* therefore greater pressure.

Misdemeanor likely means that there weren't any broken bones after all. Not sure what Montana's definition of serious bodily injury is but that's generally the ballpark.

Will it likely amount to a slap on the wrist? Maybe - he's a far cry from the folks I rep'ed at the public defenders' office in terms of resources and, uh, having the sheriff as a campaign donor, but there's still going to be a pretty juicy civil suit for Ben at the end of the day on this one and it's hard to measure the amount of damage he just did to his political career at this point.

Haha you know nothing about Arkansas

Nearly half of Arkansas is pure mountains or hills. The whole west half



The highest point in Arkansas is 2700 feet.

That is a hill!

The highest point in Arkansas is 800 feet lower than my house in Montana, and I lived at the bottom of one of Montana's lower valleys.

Like, without exagerration, I grew up thinking of "mountains" as meaning places that are rocky, covered with snow 10 months a year, at least a mile above sea level, above the timberline...Like, you East Coast people know that "Timberline" isn't just a brand name for clothing, that is a real thing, an altitude where trees don't grow?

Yeah, that's when it got the most "heated" when Wolf was actually saying "No, Obama didn't give Flynn the clearance he needed to be part of the Trump Administration. That was the Trump Administration." and Chaffetz just started yelling "I've been in classified briefings so I know more than you!" Wolf showed enough spine to make Chaffetz freak out a little.

In fairness: If turnout matches what is anticipated, 2/3 of all voters were cast before this news broke.

Dems have 2 jobs tomorrow: In MT: Drive turnout. Around the rest of the country? Get videotaped/recorded statements from GOP congresscritters and PACs regarding the assault (as well as earlier examples with Price and the FCC) especially any who have endorsed in MT-AL. Retractions (RINOs! :bahgawd:) can be used by their primary opponents, while refusal to retract/disavow will be fantastic in 2018 elections.

gently caress that sheriff for just charging him with a misdemeanor, if we teach rich people and politicians that they can assault journalists and get off just having to pay $500, we're gonna see a lot more journalists getting hit.

and double gently caress his campaign's bullshit statement. I'd really love for the police to release the statement he/his lawyer made to them, because I bet his story changed remarkably between the two statements.
