Republican candidate 'body-slams' Guardian reporter in Montana

[Smokin Joe]

As Leon Trotsky said:   "You may not be interested in War,  but War is interested in you." 


We are the weaker player in this game.   I would like to be in a position where we did not have to respond to the MSM,   but I don't see where we really have a choice about that.  They dominate,  and we try to respond.  If we could drive the narrative that would be different,  but that is not how I see things.

Letting them drive the narrative is NOT 'winning'. Mess them up at every opportunity. Be the exception, and as there are more exceptions in evidence the 'rule' will fall.
This is a war of attrition, and their talking points are the targets. The more are cut from under them, the weaker they get.

   That explains why were all problem childs our Dad is a deadbeat!

That's why I said supporting the Republican candidate in Montana would help to undercut their current narrative.   

"Strategic".

Very likely!

To be brutally honest, I don't give a sh*t about anything you have say, except to call you out when you say something especially stupid -- and that's only to remind any casual reader of this forum that we're not all idiots.

@r9etb

Just the ones that think dumping on Trump at every opportunity is going to help you put your beloved RINO's back in office again.

Hey! JEB ain't got much to do these days. I bet he would give you a hug fo 5 bucks or so if you asked nicely.

So the reporter gets the bum's rush. Who were the witnesses? Reporters--from Fox. Remember the veracity thing about eye-witnesses.

Is Gianforte an out-of-control moron? I don't know about before, but as a member(elect) of the U.S. Congress, that makes it official.

Trump has nothing to do with it.

Trump has nothing to do with it.

But, you're digging in your pockets for five bucks?

[Bigun]

Trump has nothing to do with it.

Nothing and everything!  Wouldn't have made a damned bit of difference which republican candidate we elected last time! Whoever it was would be getting the EXACT same treatment Trump is getting!  With the possible exception of Jeb or the mailman's son that is!

If $5 will shut some of these idiots up for good, then sure.

Let's see if it has ANY effect!   

[Sanguine]

You taking bets?

Your offer doesn't impress me. ^-^

[Bigun]

Hadn't thought of it but since you mention it I say the effect will be near ZERO!

[sneakypete]

So far, DJT has delivered on a lot of things that are in line with conservatism. How anyone could dismiss that as unimportant or insignificant is about the only thing close to "stupid" that I have seen on this thread.

@LateForLunch   @roamer_1

Trump delivering on conservative programs will only make the Party People hate him even more because not only is he STILL not a "Party Person",he had now actually gone and "committed conservatism" just to make them look like liars and fools. They ain't NEVER going to forgive him for that.

@Bigun

That's because they are the DC favorites,know to and trusted by one and all to not rock the boat.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

They don't need Trump's help to look like liars and fools.

It's OUR swamp! WE built it! WE like it just the way it is and there will be NO draining if WE can prevent it!

What ... are you haggling about price, now?

I think you got an extra knot in the pretzel.  You aren't going to win with the media, only the people, and if you convince the people, the media will get chipped away at. This was not the hill to die on. Why?

Electing the Democrat would have been spewed by the media as a twofer, for sure, (they'd have painted that as anti-Trump, pro mediot), but I don't see it as a national referendum on anything, just replacing a Congressman.

Electing the Republican only comes off as something the MSM will pitch later as evidence that 'those hicks from the hills (and possibly Republicans in general) are violent thugs', and puts a RINO in Congress.

(Sounds like a great day to go fishing.)

[bigheadfred]

I have values.

That needs sayin' over and over.

Every Republican since Goldwater has been called a Nazi.

Christ. This thread is still going on? The dude handily won the election. What more is there to say?
