Holy gently caress

quote:

At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the man, as he moved on top the reporter and began yelling something to the effect of "I'm sick and tired of this!"

And this is from Fox News

Probably local affiliates who are not nearly as vile and grotesque as the corporation as a whole. And it's kinda hard to get reporters, even Fox reporters, to shut up when they watch another reporter be violently assaulted right there in front of them, WHILE RECORDING NO LESS. It goes against the social norms of the country, sets a precedent about reporters, including other Fox reporters, being assaulted if they keep their mouths shut...and if they report it, it's such a juicy scandal that it's basically their next 6 months paychecks secured right then, right there.

Its the top story on FoxNews.com

I know because it's an insanely absurdly safe Republican district where the news is about how it's close but Quist has never been ahead at any point. Our President was caught discussing sexual assault shortly before the election and had a number of women come out to claim they assaulted him and still won and he was facing longer odds than this. Republicans do not care. They might care about the AHCA thing but enough to turn a safe district into a D win is unlikely.

Well the district is the entire state, and Gianforte just lost the governor race in November to a democrat

In the short term, might this further radicalize a portion of right wing viewers? moving away from FOX to INFOWARS or whatever O'Reilly/Hannity concoct?

They might, but its still gonna weaken their signal. Imagine your grandparents trying to figure out how to start downloading podcasts or navigating new websites. Some of them will be able to, but a lot of them will just give up in frustration and keep watching whoever fox replaces him with.

There is a reason why O'Reily doesn't have the same impact anymore

Fake news; Trump doesn't have any friends

Remember how at the convention, they got someone who had been his friend for decades and the best thing he could say was that one time Trump was a couple minutes late to undercard fight to talk to a security guard who's son was dying of cancer. Like he didn't offer to pay for the treatment or visit the kid, just talked to the dad for a few minutes.

And that was the best story about Trump he could think of.

Can I assume this means they've doctored them or that they don't have anything incriminating in them? Frankly, I assume that anyone involved in this will literally do anything at all to avoid providing incriminating evidence, so I'm staunchly pessimistic about it. However, it'd be great if there's actually The Good Stuff somewhere in these documents.

Until I see otherwise, though, I'm gonna assume it's yet another stalling tactic.

It was turn them over or go to jail for contempt of congress

Why is that a thing? It's clearly just a typo for coverage.

It was funny, but really that is all there is to it. Trump hosed up, took forever to notice, then doubled down on it being intentional. Its a microcosm of everything about him, but it also means loving nothing in the grand scheme of things.
