How has he been held more accountable than the President?

he has actually been charged with a crime?

The comparison is real stretch, if only Trump's crimes were as easy to deal with as assaulting someone in a room full of hostile witnesses and recording equipment.

Billy Bush was held more accountable than the President. After the Pussy Tape he was at least fired.

In Colorado, Clear Channel doesn't even have him on their premier talk radio station where they put all the football and baseball broadcasts, Rush Limbaugh, and the best national talk show, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.
Instead Hannity has to hang out with Glenn Beck on a network not even Limbaugh fans listens to.

I actually got some emails from the IDP trying to get me to go canvass in Missoula today with Idaho Young Democrats, the suckers don't realize I got out like a week ago.
Seeing Missoula would be fun though :<
Money won't save his political career if anything more comes out of this story.
11pm where I am and I still can't get over how crazy today was.
The CBO score hit, and confirmed the house GOP tied themselves a noose with their dumb little self-congratulation party
Comey might have been played by fake intel from the Russians
Sessions lied about more Russian connections
There are intercepts from during the election of Russians boasting they could use Flynn and Manafort to play Trump like a fiddle
Hannity lost 5 advertisers and is "taking a holiday"
And I thought this was all nuts before a GOP candidate beat the shit out of a reporter the day before an election. And managed somehow to do it in a way that brought more attention to the CBO score!

More specifically the amazing passive aggressiveness the pope showed toward trump.
Politics nowadays is like an entire season of House of Cards in a single day. It's nuts, and making it really hard to concentrate on work or anything else really.

Why is Melania dressed like a weird funeral nun/witch?
because christian head covering for women is approved obv
Apparently women have to dress like that for private meetings with the Pope. Fucking weird stuff.
But those rules have been a bit more lax recently.
Might as well post this here too in case anyone cares.
I made this thing. Montana ranks in almost exactly average in terms of how much of their state legislature and senate is held by Democrats, for what that's worth.
Made from the 2017 Legislative Partisan Composition Table here, independents were ignored (there are only a few).
Even better, they exchanged gifts. Easy D gave the pope some MLKJr books. The pope gave Trump a letter he wrote about climate change! That's some Holy See level trolling.

Holy crap that look the pope gives is so hilarious it looks like it was staged.
He's a holy man who's given him books on climate change. Trump's probably the type of person he dislikes most.

Link to the leter about the enviroment here
He also gave trump a letter about modern day evangelization, which includes much of the economic greed and cultural immorality that trump sucks at. And a letter about the role of the family for good measure.
There better be some WWE jokes on that show this Friday.

That's not a letter, that's a fricking MA thesis! And it's available in eight languages.
Some God-tier trolling right here (though that seems strangely appropriate considering that we're talking about the Pope).

Assuming Quist has done well (hopefully won) the EV. The body slamming either turns off at least some Republican voters or spurs democratic ones to reduce the traditional GOP advantage when it comes to election day voting.

Wow. I shouldn't be shocked my state is so close to the bottom of that given how despised liberals are here but that spreadsheet is straight up depressing.

What an embarrassment. Does he not realize it wasn't even a large victory? Like, does he just fail to comprehend what anyone who looks at previous elections could easily figure out?

2/3 have already voted, don't set your expectations up for a Quist win.
There will most likely be another special election, I don't think Gianforte will be able to step foot in Congress.

Why not? It was charged as misdemeanor assault, he can pay a fine and be fine.
I hope they were the abridged bullet pointed versions!

He seriously has the look my grandmother had all the time when she was suffering from Alzheimer's. That's not a joke or trying to be mean to the fat sack of shit, it's really the same look.

Oblivious to the gravity of all situations. It's like with Obama he was lighthearted yet still "lets get down to business". Trump is aimlessly wandering around while being more "I'm just surprised to be here."

That describes it quite well. See also: people so drunk you know they're not gonna remember a goddamn thing the next day.

He assaulted a reporter, it's on tape, lied about it in his press release. Why should Rs in Washington spend time defending the guy? You know the press is going to ask them over and over how they can work with a guy who assaults reporters.

Did either of them climax? Because that is the most homoerotic description of two heads of state I've read in a while.
Oooh, there's video of the handshake: https://twitter.com/BFMTV/status/867703394886193152

They'll spend time defending him because he won and they don't care about anything apart from that
