Sorry, not worth huge image for lame "kale time" joke.

Have fun with that

Rep. Duncan Hunter said of MT reporter assault, “It’s not appropriate behavior. Unless the reporter deserved it.”

gives the eyes a rest from texxxxt

stop posting

has anyone in the GOP actually come out to say "physically attacking reporters is bad"

don't wanna make those snap decisions until all the facts are in

why be hatin?

A statement condemning the assault of reporters could come back to haunt you once you eventually get around to assaulting a reporter yourself.

Trump can barely read.

He reads like Nelson Muntz

tbf, I'm not sure I could listen to him in any context and not smile and whisper to my friends. (hushed) "Eet eez true, he eez a total eediot."

Stop punching yourself!

When reporters asked Trump, as he sat for cameras with Macron before their lunch, whether he wanted to say anything about British intelligence sharing, Trump said only, “Thank you.” Asked if his fired national security adviser, Michael Flynn, should cooperate with FBI and congressional investigations on collusion with Russia, Trump stared at the source of the question and again said, “Thank you,” as the press was hustled out of the room.

Principal Jenkins: Okay, Jimmy. Now tell me why you bodyslammed Peter during recess.
Jimmy: It's not fair! The left has precipitated this tense, confrontational approach!

The left made me do it!

Body Slam! Hit Me!

Trump whining to NATO about what's fair to the American taxpayers while being under audit from the IRS is priceless.

What an asshole. Hey, folks who voted for Trump: you elected an asshole. A childish asshole. Look at this. What's wrong with him??? https://t.co/EQjfUs3mAz

But they'll think he's showing them who's boss? They're bully enablers, this is what they voted for - to make little men feel like big men.

this one is good too

Macron blows off Trump, Trump responds by trying to rip his arm off? This is insane. pic.twitter.com/cPlPg7N72X

stevie otm, the base eats this shit up. America's in charge again, finally!

I think the guy he shoved aside rightly expected it to be a chummy hello sort of thing but no eye contact + that cartoony egotistical nose-up-jacket-fix move confirms it's just him being the biggest jackass ever.

I just want to see someone haul off and punch his fucking teeth out on camera. It's all I want in the whole, wide world.

It would be a "suicide by cock" mission tho

But when his base gets cut off in traffic by some douchebag with slicked back hair in a BMW zipping around like a maniac and flipping people off... in the past maybe they were pissed and disgusted but in Trump's America are they filled with a comforting warmness because it reminds them of papa Donny or is the sensation just them pissing themselves because they're such fucking idiots?

stay classy djt

Did Trump just shove another NATO leader to be in the front of the group? pic.twitter.com/bL1r2auELd

weak man's idea of a strong man etc.

I just want to see someone haul off and punch his fucking teeth out on camera. It's all I want in the whole, wide world.

get Gianforte on the phone

Extraterrestrials, though, go on with your bad self

.@SpeakerRyan says physical altercations are never appropriate with the "press or with human beings" #MTAL

not-so-sly dig at "the press" there?

Gianaforte charged w assault, newspapers pulling endorsements

Quist smart to keep his mouth shut. Give 'em enough rope etc.

I will be surprised if this actually swings the election though. I guess my prejudicial reading of GOP voters is that they like abusive assholes.

Well that and a lot of early votes already cast.

holy shit @ that Macron clip

my prejudicial reading of GOP voters is that they like abusive assholes.

whatever gave you that idea?

Well that and a lot of early votes already cast.

yeah I've heard 2/3rds of the early votes are in? so he's still probably gonna win, though I guess we don't know how bodyslamming a dude affects election results

And more fun for Congress!

Four things are all true: a) there are plenty of people who will applaud Gianforte for punching out a reporter b) 100% of those people were voting for Gianforte anyway c) this could move a lot of votes away from Gianforte without swinging the election, it's really not that clear it was close before yesterday and nobody thought Quist was ahead d) as mentioned above, more than half the vote is already in the books

physical altercations are only appropriate when the president does it

"when the president does it, its nagl"

Greg Gianforte needs to apologize.

This is kinda funny: Lieberman saying to Trump, "Yeah, when you picked the guy at a law firm I work at to be your emergency counsel, that's not good."

NEW: Here's the letter from Lieberman to Trump, withdrawing from consideration as FBI director, citing appearance of conflict of interest. pic.twitter.com/0myzZv5rly

Greg Gianforte made his fortune with corporate customer service software, so it shouldn't be any surprise he likes brutalizing people

Anybody remember that bullshit "pink pistols" scare that showed up on Fox News & Oreilly 10 years ago? Here's an interview with Rashad Robinson, who was pulled on the show to talk about it

Listening to Politically Re-Active with W. Kamau Bell & Hari Kondabolu (Rashad Robinson & Color of Change Cancels Bill O'Reilly)

Rashad Robinson has done battle with Bill O’Reilly and won – twice. He’s taken on the shady, corporate-driven conservative operation ALEC and gotten companies like Coca Cola and Walmart to back down from supporting stand-your-ground laws. And now, after successfully campaigning to remove O’Reilly from Fox News - along with
great work from UltraViolet, the Women's March, NOW-New York, CREDO, Sleeping Giants, and MoveOn - he’s taking on the prison-profiteering bail bond industry – and it’s not even June. As executive director of Color of Change, the nation's largest online racial justice organization, Rashad is at the forefront of the strategic campaigns that transform lives and movements. In this episode of Politically Re-Active, he shares the backstories behind these campaigns, the role of entertainment in the resistance, and more. Trust us – you won’t want to miss it!

Please visit Color of Change to learn how you can support their campaigns, especially their current campaign to reform the bail bond industry: https://www.colorofchange.org/. And follow Rashad on Twitter: @rashadrobinson.
