Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan বলেছেন...: Speaking of unbelievable:

"Guns will be barred during Vice President Mike Pence’s appearance at an upcoming National Rifle Association convention to protect his safety — prompting survivors of the Parkland school shooting in Florida to wonder why the gun group won’t agree to gun restrictions elsewhere to protect children."; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৭:০০ AM

Speaking of a moron, you are the poster child. The NRA won't be gun free dumbass. The SS will have plenty. The SS job is to protect the Veep, and if guns were allowed the couldn't differentiate the sheep from the goats. And just like the Parkland school, a determined shooter wouldn't care about any laws. What the kids should wonder is why can't they have good guys with guns to protect them like the Veep? But they are kids. What's your excuse?; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৭:২৩ AM

Tester. He's toast.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৭:৪৪ AM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: He's the Bomb! BOOM.

Judging by DJT's super bold confidence, we are in for an interesting few weeks. Positive thinking is one thing, but a having a Triumph is another.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৮:০৩ AM

Hagar বলেছেন...: "Don't sell the pelt until the bear has been shot."

I do not see any denuclearization and reunification that does not include China agreeing to airlifting the Kim family and its top enforcers to sanctuary in China.
Perhaps they could refurbish one of Mao's old palaces for them to live out their lives.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৮:৫২ AM
Drago বলেছেন...: ARM: "Speaking of unbelievable:"

Lots of democrats out for the blood of republicans, like now long long long (did he ever really exist?) Hodgkinson.

Bernie Bro and Democrat extraordinaire.

Good thing the NRA gathering won't be in San Jose, where the mayor and police chief called in their goons and funneled Trump supporters to them and stood by while the inevitable leftist violence occurred.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৮:৫৮ AM
Drago বলেছেন...: Trump rightfully goes after Tester.

-I Believe Tester- Republican Chuck is NOT going to like that one bit.

Not one bit.

If LLR Chuck has any time left over providing cover for Brokaw and Joy Reid, I expect a full throated defense of Tester and his tactics from our LLR.

Lets watch carefully.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৯:০০ AM
Michael K বলেছেন...: I see Trump campaigning in Montana.

Just to punish Tester, which was one of the worst smears I have seen.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৯:০৩ AM

Carol বলেছেন...: Tester. He's toast.

Ehh, I dunno. Our primary candidates here are pretty lame. And Tester has that farmer thing going for him.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৯:১৭ AM
Bruce Hayden বলেছেন...: "Guns will be barred during Vice President Mike Pence’s appearance at an upcoming National Rifle Association convention to protect his safety — prompting survivors of the Parkland school shooting in Florida to wonder why the gun group won’t agree to gun restrictions elsewhere to protect children."

That was the SS (Secret Service). Saw that identically with VP Cheney. He was going to speak at a Republican event in Utah. SS said no guns. That wasn’t going to work for the Republican attendees. Final compromise is that they brought in gun lockers, where the attendees could safely lock up and protect their (otherwise) concealed firearms. Keep in mind that the SS are essentially LEOs, who want to be the only ones with guns. They think it makes their job easier - and maybe it does. But that isn’t the only consideration...; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৯:৫১ AM
Bruce Hayden বলেছেন...: “Tester. He's toast.”

Hope that you are right, but Tester is running heavy advertising already, over six months before the election. Just heard one where he is claiming that the Republican cans tried to raise premiums 20% on healthcare. Total BS, of course, since he voted for Obamacare, and then against its repeal.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৯:৫৫ AM
Bay Area Guy বলেছেন...: Nobel! Nobel! Nobel!; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১১:২৪ AM
Chuck বলেছেন...: If Trump has some information on Tester that the public should know about, then why wouldn’t Trump just disclose it? Why not say it, straight up? I’d like to see a Republican take that seat. But what is that smear from Trump supposed to mean? I’m not taking Trump’s worthless word for anything. If Trump has some proof of something, I’ll listen.

And why is Trump whining about Tester? Trump is pissed off about what a fiasco the Ronny Jackson nomination was. If Jackson’s accusers were wrong, and if Dr. Jackson got jobbed in the process, why did the Administration fold so easily? If the media was just rolling Admiral Jackson purely because the doctor was a Trump nominee, Trump sure didn’t put up much of a fight. What a pussy; Trumptold the world that if he were in Jackson’s position, it wouldn’t be worth it and he wouldn’t go through with the nomination process.

I sure hope that Trump takes that position when it comes to any re-election.

What a pussy.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১২:৩৪ PM

We will just file that next to LLR Chucks strong, very strong, passionately strong, support for hack democrat Durbin who called US troops gestapo and dem hack stolen valor liar Blumenthal.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১২:৫৬ PM
Sheridan বলেছেন...: Carol and Bruce - Tester has a boatload of campaign funds (approx. $8mm+)available for spend. IMO he's smart to spend that money now, before the Republican primaries are done, to try and influence both new and undecided voters. But because of his ham-handed smearing of RADM Ronny Jackson (thus provoking the wrath of Trump) his current money advantage likely won't last. Though I'm a new MT voter (albeit with family ties to the ranchers and farmers along the Rocky Front) my sense, based on talks with some of those ranchers and farmers, is that people here with political influence (and money) are tired of Tester and his tendency to fluff-up and portray his actions on secondary issues as somehow super duper important. Tester was lucky to have effective Democrats like Max Baucus, Brian Schweitzer and Steve Bullock publically leading the way for him. But all it may take for the Republicans this year (and I agree with Carol that the various GOP candidates appear boring if not uninspiring) is for Trump to show-up 2 or 3 times and blast Tester for his votes on the budget and Obamacare and his clumsy maligning of ADM Jackson. I'll start tracking events here in MT more closely and see how the politics roll-out.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১:০৬ PM

Ronny Jackson pulled his name. Jackson has a family. The democrats were going after everyone around him in a vile and detestable way and Tester, who is a total piece of shit, lead that action.

Trump is still fighting for Jackson. Jackson spent his entire life serving this country and you are siding with Tester who pulled the massive smear job.

You are just a self centered a piece of shit who puts his butt hurt above that of good people the democrats are destroying. Flynn and Jackson are both infinitely better men than you are.

And Trump is obviously a better person than you will ever be.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১:১২ PM
narciso বলেছেন...: it's too bad dueling has fallen out of favor, heh, of course as the lefty wallaby jonathan swan, has pointed Isakson, wasn't apparently perturbed by this course of action on tester's part.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১:৩৪ PM
langford peel বলেছেন...: Admiral Jackson made the decision. President Trump explicitly said it was up to him. He didn't want to be smeared by people like Tester and Chuck.

It is precisely because Admiral Jackson is not a Trump toady that motivated him to withdraw. He does not have enough personal stake in the Trump administration to take the abuse he would get. He would be under constant attack by the Press and people like Chuck. You have to be tough like Zinke or Scott Pruitt. You have to be motivated by loyality to the President and his agenda. Admiral Jackson was a non partisan who served loyally in both Democratic and Republican.

Still Democrats and people like Chuck are happy to destroy him because he would be helping President Trump do something to take care of our Veterans.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ১:৪৯ PM
narciso বলেছেন...: Trump threw admiral Jackson to the sharks, I don't see the point in that, they could have staid the vote, but as I pointed out, Isakson was ready with the chum,; ২৯/৪/১৮, ২:০০ PM
langford peel বলেছেন...: President Trump gave Admiral Jackson the choice. He would have fought for him but he didn't want to be bankrupted like Michael Flynn or Scooter Libby.

I just hope he follows up and campaigns vigorously against Tester.

As far as what he knows about Tester he should follow the game plan of the Democrats and the media and just make shit up.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ২:০৬ PM

I don't think so. Flynn was the example of what they could do to Jackson.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ২:৪০ PM

Drago বলেছেন...: Nothing upsets LLR Chuck more than tens of thousands of republicans gathering to celebrate the most conservative year in governance in 60 years.

It deflates the lefties.

And it just pisses LLR Chuck right off.

You should feel free to draw obvious conclusions.

Perhaps a backstage pass to the Maddow Show and a Meet & Greet with Rachel would perk Chuck up again.

Or perhaps a box set of "magnificent" obama speeches.

Just the thought of it sends tingles up LLR Chucks leg no doubt.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ২:৪৮ PM

Completely wrong.

Anyone Trump nominates for anything anywhere is "thrown to the sharks."

We didn't elect Trump because he would refuse to nominate anyone to serve in his administration because he feels bad for them. We elected Trump because we recognize the nature of our enemy.

We have enough people who see the democrats/uniparty for what they are to be fine either way at this point. At this point you are just deciding whether or not you are useful.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ২:৫৩ PM

My partner is almost incandescent when it comes to the treatment of RADM Jackson by Tester. She doesn’t think that a lot of Montanans are going to tolerate Tester slimeing Jackson for political purposes, and, in particular, wth bogus information. Falsely calling him a drunk, as he did, would likely have resulted in him being called out, in an earlier time. It’s bad enough that he slimed Jackson, who worked honorably with three Presidents.. Worse that he used false information to do so. Similar to what Harry Reid did with Mitt Romney and his tax returns.

And, yes, I think that a couple trips here by Trump, calling Tester and his voting record for what he and it are, would do wonders to offset those millions in Tester’s war chest (little of which was raised in MT).; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৪:০৩ PM
Bruce Hayden বলেছেন...: “Ehh, I dunno. Our primary candidates here are pretty lame. And Tester has that farmer thing going for him.”

Joke here is that they probably needed a hoist to get him up into that combine, thanks to the weight that he has packed on. Our guess is that he is now north of 300 lbs, and is obviously verging on needing O2, if he isn’t on it already. And that pickup is probably just pushed out of the shed every six years. Likely, a lot of the film that we are seeing in his ads comes from previous campaigns. So, yes, he comes from a long time MT farming family. But is he a farmer? Highly unlikely, and hasn’t been for decades.; ২৯/৪/১৮, ৪:১১ PM
