There is the equivalent of a bi-election in Montana today. It is a strong Republican state but the latest Polls have it as a flip. Things got even more interesting yesterday after the Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, was arrested after body slamming a reporter who was asking about the latest CBO report into Trumpcare.

There has been increased talk of impeachment over the Russian investigation. This still seems unlikely, hard to fathom I know. However, with the Republicans controlling the Senate, the House, and the Presidency, and with no sign of any progress with their agenda pressure is mounting. I can see the Republicans putting pressure on Trump to resign on medical grounds. They would get no argument from me if they went for insanity. There is already a religious nut job in place as the VP, who they might see as the man able to make progress getting some of their agenda passed into law. We could then see the fascinating spectacle of the Democrats wanting Trump to remain as president, as that would lessen the chances of  passing anything meaningful.

All eyes on Montana tonight.

I think the Democrats should adopt nationally the slogan that another of their candidates has been campaigning under " Make Trump Furious".

You can hear the body slam on the Ginaforte bodyslam on the Guardian website.   The link is below, just click on the play on the top picture.  It is worth a listen, it really seems to escalate very quickly for no good reason.  One of those wtf just happened moments.  The story is corroborated on the Foxnews website, where it also reports that Ginaforte punched him too.   You'd think someone wouldn't survive such behaviour in an election, but maybe that was before Trump.

the reporter previously reported on his links to Russian money.



Don't see how this can be a negative thing for the guy running for office, surely grabbing womens bits is more offensive? and that was a positive for many, even some women it seemed.....
