So violence in politics not ok?
Cool. Sounds good to me... now lets hope the media keeps to that standard.The media are.
The Fox news report clearly said the Guardian reporter was not abusive & at no time even touched Gianforte, Gianforte then grabbed him by the throat & threw him to the ground repeatedly punching him. Then lied about it. Then got called out by Fox News.
This was an all round "well done" to all the media concerned & a huge ciminal lying fail to the GOP candidate.

Punched him on the ground? First I heard of that, got a source?

That is about the most Presidential thing I've heard from Trump. Good speech IMO.

At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, "I'm sick and tired of this!"
You should start watching Fox News. From what I hear its fair & unbiased

Never mind found it.

Is that in response to the link @gollum provided is there something more lurid? The piece that Gollum linked to seemed OK to me.

The Russians hacked Gianforte's fist. -

Carrier, the company Trump intervened personally with to save their jobs & handed out a huge subsidy have now announced what everyone sane knew. They are axing 600 jobs. 300 now & 300 just in time for xmas.
They are keeping the subsidy
Hang on. That article is being blatantly dishonest. Saving some jobs whilst still losing others is what us happening.
This supposed 'new news' was known 6 months ago when the deal was announced. It was part of the deal. Not surprising everyone sane knew. ..

A politician wanting to get in front for photo op. Unprecedented... impeach him.

Class.Telling that Twitter and forums like this focus more on this non issue than other things... like 20 or so Coptic Christians being murdered.
Or even the speech about NATO contributions and the dangerous message that may send. The obsession over out of context gifs is fucking stupid.
Melania doesn't likehim, he pushed past another world leader.. yawnWestern society has become obsessed with memes and gifs. stuff.co.nz appears exactly what we deserve. And yes I am just as guilty.
