1. Congratulations from a fellow street thug

2. Time to do some investigative digging on Gianforte.

He's not from Montana. Why did he move there? How did he make his money? He seems to have anger issues. Any previous brushes with the law?

3. He thinks elderly people should be working, not getting SS

Aging and retirement

Gianforte has outlined his position on retirement by using the Biblical example of Noah. He said:

"There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach... The example I think of is Noah. How 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."[53][54][55][56]

4. I saw that on Seth Myers. The man is such an effing idiot, as evidenced by the quote

above. I can't even begin to point out how stupid his reasoning is. Of course Trump loves him, he is a shameless bully just like the shartstain-in-chief.

5. We know he's an asshole. What don't we know yet? I'm sure he has skeletons.

7. If you can get elected after violently assaulting someone...

it's hard to imagine what skeletons would have an impact



I'm with you though

11. Maybe he has an outstanding warrant in California. We can dream!

8. He is a fundie, God ahead of country, and no social security, work to 600 years old.

9. Gianforte supports the Creationist Dinosaur Museum, earth created 6,000 years ago, and Noah was 600.

You just can't make this shit up? Oh wait, they did.

10. You beat me to it. :)

Oh, well, I'll go ahead and add this bit from Gianforte's Wiki page anyway:

Gianforte is a believer in Young Earth creationism, the belief that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. He donated $1.5 million to the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum in Glendive, Montana, a creationist museum which teaches visitors that evolution is false, the Earth is about 6,000-6,400 years old, that dinosaurs were on the Ark and that they likely died out 4,300 years ago during the flood described in the Book of Genesis.

12. THUGS RULE!!!!!!

How do the dregs of society end up becoming billionaires running a government supposedly "of, by, and for The People"?

Well, I suppose you could start by creating an amoral economy that mainly rewards those who already have much too much and their savage greed for much, much more with only limited liability for the damage they do.

13. Trump continued, "Maybe we can go out and bash some reporters and grab pussy together in D.C."
