And yet you're the one who believes this.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy then throwing it back in your face.

Follow a principle, not a Team. Your soul will thank you.

"Body slam"??
Do you people understand what a "body slam" really is? Have you ever watched "professional" wrestling, and seen exactly what constitutes a "body slam"? Do you honestly believe Gianforte picked that trespassing reporter up and threw him to the floor? Do you really believe Gianforte is strong enough to do that?
IMO, that "journalist" forced his way into a room where he was not invited and not wanted, got in Gianforte's face, and demanded answers. When told that Gianforte would not answer his questions, he became aggressive and pushy. Gianforte pushed him away, then he (deliberately?) fell down, shouting that he had been "body slammed".
IMO, it was a set-up, to make Gianforte look bad. Actually, it made the reporter look like a fool, IMO.
Instead of charging the reporter with "criminal trespass", Gianforte plead guilty to assault, received the sentence, completed the sentence, and we voted for him. I voted for him again, in fact. Yep, got my ballot, marked it, and mailed it.
For the first time in my life, I voted a straight republican ticket, 100%!

It was a stupid thing for Gianforte to do, and it was stupid for Trump to even mention it. It is what it is though, life goes on. Yet it is just another thing the leftists add to the growing list of things that Trump supporters are allegedly "okay" with and support. Bigots, Racists, misogynists, and now, advocates for violence...

City-Data Trumplings - "Stoopid lefty liberals are always inciting violence!"

Then, the president of the United States openly celebrates and cheers a republican politician for literally body-slamming somebody.

Silence from those very same City-Data Trumplings at the beginning of my post.

Because I do not recall that part.
Yah. No. Democrats are always referring to discourse. Trump Republican s are violent screaming mobs whenever their leader is present. Its like those pagan rituals in the forest calling upon Satan. Then they go back to their quiet life as, "gee I just wanna work without getting attacked by a Mexican. Wanna beer?"

The reporter was "trespassing"?

Um. Ok.

No, situational awareness would have been that reporter knowing that Montana's not a good place to mess with rednecks. I guess I could have made that a little clearer.

Team Blue is suddenly on Team AnCap in this thread with all the calls to hold the non-aggression principle sacrosanct.

Just like the Cherokee distancing themselves from Warren I'm doing the same thing here. Team Blue, you ain't down.

Team Red, you ain't down either.

IMO, yes! What would you call it, when somebody enters a room uninvited and unwanted?
I call it trespassing. When he was told "Get the hell out of here", he refused to leave.
Yep, trespassing!
