There are usually two sides to every story. This one does not qualify.

ā€œWhat he passed off as a joke at the time…" is only further proof conservatives sense of comedy is very, very wrong

Well, all those Trump supporters out there have to wipe with something… Or don’t they bother?

How is it that so many of these uber-christians are horrible human beings? Didn’t jesus teach some sort of tolerance (I don’t really know, being an atheist who has never read the bible)? How does he square his actions with his alleged devotion to his religion?? I am so sick of this shit in this country.

He thinks the story of Noah implies that there shouldn’t be Social Security? Can someone so impossibly stupid actually exist?

Greg Gianforte, the Republican U.S. House candidate…is a billionaire tech entrepreneur…

Due to his skill at choking the competition, of course!

ā€œThe example I think of is Noah,ā€ he added, per the Huffington Post. ā€œHow old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn’t like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn’t hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical.ā€

Exactly when does this type of reasoning cross over into insanity? I mean, I respect people’s right to have religious points of view, but this type of incoherent allegations used to inform harmful policy should be strongly sanctioned.

I’d say right about ā€œNoahā€ but beyond question at ā€œ600ā€.

Not clear Sinclair Lewis said this, but it’s still true.

Racist hatred trumps religion. They value hate more than they love their very souls.

To all the pundits that after the election were saying that Democrats need to talk to the Trump supporters and listen to what they have to say - I say Fck Yu. They don’t need an ear, they need Mrs. Schum, my sixth grade teacher that used the old nun trick of rapping knuckles with a ruler to keep eyes on their own test. They need to be reminded that this is not how you behave in a civilized society and this kind of behavior will not be tolerated in the least and then someone like Gianforte should be made an example of and given a nice long jail sentence to protect the rest of us that know how to behave.

ā€œThere’s nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it’s been an accepted concept in our culture today."
So, if he’s elected, we can expect him to lead the charge to privatize or block-grant Social Security.

The papers withdrew their support. Probably too late to make a difference today.

Clearly we live in a debased society of radical Christo-fundy demons who will not rest until baseball, apple pie, paid vacations, a dignified retirement and Social Security are ALL STRIPPED AWAY because they are NOT IN the fucking BIBLE!

We’re DOOMED!

…but the concept of retirement is not biblical.

I am so fucking tired of self centered pseudo religious right wing assholes. Penicillin is not biblical. Medicating hemorrhoids is not biblical. Wearing fake blonde Dinah Shore hair helmets is not biblical. Colluding with former KGB agent dictator kleptocrats to steal mid term and presidential elections are not biblical.

But stoning people to death for eating at Red Lobster is.

Go figure.

VOX ftw on headlines: The GOP has assault-of-the-earth candidate in Montana

If their internal polling showed Gianforte likely to lose anyway, and the national GOP realized this could prove a bellwether, is it just possible he assaulted the guy to create an alternate narrative for his embarrassment, making himself the sacrificial lamb if you will, to stop the story being about the magnitude of Trump’s damage to the party? Not least because he’s financially entangled with the Russians too, so it might not have been the GOP per se asking?

Yes I know there are simpler explanations we must consider first.

that’s an old tweet, but…

…if Gianforte wins tonight, check the Libertarian’s totals.
