Trump puts the bait out there. NPCs bite it hook like & sinker. Go on for days with their programmed "outrage". They hate Trump. They hate the Deplorables. Why? Their programming from the MSM.
It's the funniest thing to see. Trump plays them like a fiddle.
Another trump voter parroting the alt right NPC meme. Color me surprised.
A joke...a JOKE? Really. This is all one big joke to Trump, to you? If that isn't the very definition of infantile, what is it? This is about the Constitutional ideals of this country, not some stupid frat boy prank. Is he not able to take the job seriously?
And, yes, I'm a lib; and I have concerns about our government. When our president vilifies the press to the point of praising violence toward them, it bothers me. That is not how someone who has the honor of representing our country should behave. I expect better because we are better than that. That's what all of you don't understand. I love my country and it hurts to see this behavior.
So, a joke, huh? Is it worth the joke to further split us apart, to make us the laughingstock of the world? You all take glee in the possibility that something bothers those you don't agree with politically, and that's just pathetic. Pathetic, sad, childish. It's like Trump stuck everyone in puberty.
Wholeheartedly agree with the spirit of your response.
This is the thing: Mr. Trump has been 'joking' around since day 1 of his self-serving campaign.
Quote:
Orlando, Florida (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump said Friday his supporters were "violent" during the 2016 campaign.
Trump made the admission Friday night during a rally here on the Florida leg of his "Thank You" tour. During the campaign, he repeatedly downplayed violent outbursts his supporters displayed at times toward protesters and insisted that paid activists were instead responsible for inciting violence at his rallies.
"You people were vicious, violent, screaming, 'Where's the wall? We want the wall!' Screaming, 'Prison! Prison! Lock her up!' I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?" Trump said Friday. "But now, you're mellow and you're cool and you're not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right?"

The fact that the Guardian and the British Government defends the actions of the reporter who instigated the incident after trespassing on Gianforte's press conference, claiming "Freedom of the Press", IMO shows the true character of the newspaper and the government official(s).
Perhaps their LACK of character would be more accurate.
Pot, meet Kettle...
Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna, stated that "Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground," then "began punching the man" and "yelling something to the effect of 'I'm sick and tired of this!'"; Acuna added that Jacobs was not showing who witnessed the incident,
"physical aggression" before the altercation.
Jacobs went to the hospital for x-rays and Gianforte was cited for misdemeanor assault by the Gallatin County Sheriff and was ordered to appear in court regarding his actions.
On the June 12, 2017, Gianforte pleaded guilty and was originally sentenced to four days in jail, to be completed in part through a work program, however he later recived 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management, 180-day deferred sentence, and a $300 fine along with an $85 court fee.
Gianforte was later forced to apologise through pressure from the media and the Republican Party themselves incluiding Speaker Paul Ryan and made a donation to charity.
This was all factual and documented, and was all done and susted until Trump started praising Gianforte for the incident he was convicted of and apologised for.
In terms of the British Government, and most other Governments they do not condone attacks on members of the press and there was no reason for Mr Gianforte to assault a journalist.
So much for fake news, the truth is America is far from making America Great Again, Trump and his ilk are making the country embarassment in the eyes of the world, and this is very sad as someone who lives in a country which is close alllies with the US.

I’m sure Mr. Gianforte will reflect on this as he is sworn in for his second term next January.

He may reflect on it next time he applies for a visa, because continual violent assault of journalists will mean he may be refused entry in to many countries.

Wow thats awesome! Thats a real law? Very cool.
Can I come live there. ? You sound very sympathetic and wise to whats going on in America. I hope if things turn around we will be forgiven in the eyes of our former friends.
