YOU KNOW THEY SAY ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT ME AND YOU LOOK AT ROB QUIST, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 1 ON 1 WITH ANOTHER CANDIDATE YOU GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING! BUT I'M A GENETIC FREAK AND I'M NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST AT BEATIN' ME! AND THEN YOU ADD BEN JACOBS TO THE MIX? YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN!
SEE THE 3 WAY AT SACRIFICE YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT I, I GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE BEN JACOBS KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT ME, AND HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO ROB QUIST, YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS MY 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE. BUT THEN YOU TAKE MY 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF WE WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. I GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE!
ROB QUIST, THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!

Same guy is in this video being a bit of an ass (minus the wrestling moves, of course): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ntana-election-greg-gianforte-rob-quist-trump
Also, there's a lifetime Democrat turned Trump supporter in the flesh, and other bits of idiocy ("You don't look British, I'm sorry"...)

Im sorry little fella but have you been watching anything for the last few weeks? Or reading articles online? Now read the comments for those articles. The world is indeed terrifying and unjust and thats all thanks to the right and the nutjobs who pander to the weak minded.
God damn. I was drunkenly discussing the Steiner original the other day with my friend.

That cuck reporter just needed a dose of freedom to wash away his liberal tears.

No doubt. Trump has shown them that this strategy works. It's no coincidence that many GOP members have stopped having townhalls altogether. They realize their base doesn't care about accountability at all.
It's always from people that don't do physically demanding jobs. Imagine that.

Rosneft again?
Rosneft is Russia's BAIT company. You'd think the Republicans would get a fucking clue that Putin is using that to compromise them.

Little too late to be asking to not be scooped since he already got scoop slammed by Greg "The Giant" Gianforte.

A reporter all the way to the end.
Fuck this douchebag. Freedom of press my ass. He needs to be held accountable. About what I expected from the GOP.
And he fucking lied about it too, not knowing there was audio evidence. Fuck him.

Well, you've got your breaking news about claims and allegations. Certainly someone could spin that in their heads if they'd like. But then you've got the audio linked, and now we're definitely stretching cognitive dissonance a bit far.

You guys just don't understand politics. You have to realize that insiders are an integral part of the system in this day and age, and nothing gets done in government without a few bodyslams being exchanged.

Haha, this is just unreal. It's so insane all I can do is laugh.
I'm just imagining Gianforte's shitbag campaign manager prior to this event:
Campaign manager: "Alright Greg, even in spite of your Russian connection claims, you still hold a meager lead over your challenger and the election is tomorrow. As long as you don't do something massively insane in the next 36 hours, this should be in the bag for...."
Gianforte: *Body slams reporter heard on audio tape over a question over the Republicans massively unpopular Healthcare bill*
Like, what can possibly even be next?

"As I was turning around, the reporter leaped into the air. I grabbed him with my arms to try to break his fall, but he somehow rammed his face into my knuckles and then I somehow grabbed him to keep him from falling, but I slipped and his weight pulled me down so as to make it look like I was putting him in a Tombstone Piledriver, which of course I wasn't. But his momentum made it look like that. Scout's honor."

This can't be good, even in a red state. Bad press is bad press. It will have some sort of impact.

Police: "We wanted to announce that our investigation is closed and no crime was found here. Thank you for your time."

First question at the press conference should be, "did he have permission to leave the scene?"

Hillary was known as a woman who was a go-to when you wanted to get votes on a bill. There's some politicians, they come in and work a day or two a year, when they're in the limelight of their hometown crowd pushing their pet legislation onto the card. Hillary? That's a woman who worked every house show, every town hall, always giving 110%. Every Monday night was SummerSlam to her.
You'd best believe she was passing out the bodyslams.
