Yep. Did you hear they actually got $100,000 in donations AFTER the assault story came out? How much of that do you think is because they were like “hyuh-hyuh, yeah hang the journalists, hyuh-hyuh.” They’re totally okay with the assault and I bet they wished they could have done it themselves and gotten away with it…

Maybe they will all just die when the Medicare expansion is rolled back.

Also, this guy thinks that social security should be abolished because Noah lived to be 600 years old & never sucked from the government teat so we shouldn’t either.

You can have a felony and serve in Congress, if they decide that they like you. So, yeah - the likelihood of the GOP kicking out anyone with a felony is super-duper-fucking-low right now.

This is a guy who openly assaulted a reporter, and he got elected by a seven point margin. If this doesn’t make Republicans reconsider party loyalty, nothing will.

Don’t forgive the early voters; he was still a creationist who believes that dinosaurs died in the Noah’s Ark flood :/

I doubt it as he was only charged with a misdemeanor. Tons of people in congress have criminal records and it doesn’t keep them out of office- not sure if they’re convicted while in office, but I think a misdemeanor is unlikely to get him out. Now if he were a democrat.....

That’s my point. It’s a ‘red state’ and nothing changes that. Even physically assaulting a reporter for asking a question, then lying about it despite recordings disproving the account.

The Deplorables Will Not Be Swayed. The barrel has no bottom.

Montana is 0.3% of the population of the United States. It has very little in common with either the places most Republicans live (namely, the inner suburbs of large cities in the South and interior West, and the outer suburbs of large cities on the coasts and in the Midwest) or the places most Democrats live. The…

Whatever tiny shred of hope I had in American democracy is gone now. There are no longer any standards. It’s just whether the candidate has a D or an R next to their name. Why bother voting anymore? What a joke.

I absolutely knew that this shitbag assaulting a reporter wouldn’t hurt his chances in the election; if anything, it would make him more popular.

I know, early voting yada yada, but this country and its voters just fill me with despair and disgust.

Gosh, these folks sure love private schools/charter schools, and the total lack of regulation regarding school policy...right up until it bites them on the ass. It was fine to choose a Christian academy with a moral code until the moment their precious little baby was punished for breaking it. I’m sad on the…

I can understand somewhat if there was a crime committed, especially against another student. But in this case, yeah straight BS.

This story enrages me on multiple levels and the hypocrisy is pretty breathtaking. But WTF is up with that messed up pledge? How the hell can you “discipline” a child for something that wasn’t actually DONE AT SCHOOL. This school sounds like Betsy Devos’ wet dream.

Teachers wouldn’t be walking at graduation anyway.

Maddi is being disciplined, not because she’s pregnant, but because she was immoral. The Student Pledge which every student from 5th grade through 12th grade signs states that this application of Philippians 4:8 “extends to my actions, such as protecting my body by abstaining from sexual immorality and from the use…

It’s not even that big of a deal, something like 8 percent of kids do it.

I love when brands expect us to cooperate as if we won’t immediately ruin their campaign. It’s like handing a 12 year old a can of spray paint and acting surprised when their wall is covered in dicks.
