Did Macron use the knuckle crunch technique on him?

If France didn't have nukes, Trump would be attacking them tomorrow.

As much as I enjoy the prospect of Hannity being fired I am a little bit worried that Trumpkins might also start pressuring advertisers.

Good point. They already have the POTUS on their side trying to use his powers to do it.

Does anybody know how bad this is? Could it mean anything other than Trump is doing Putin's bidding?

That would be an odd complaint to make: "If I don't see your adds I won't buy your products!"

News agencies don't hold onto bombshells like this, they risk being scooped by another news organization.

Literally all they watch is fox news. Who cares if they pressure the advertisers?

Jeez, if they can't win in the fourth circuit, which includes such liberal bastions as North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia, then Trump is in trouble.

They don't need to watch the program to tell the advertisers if the company keeps advertising on program x they will stop buying their products. The user (sorry, can't remember who it was) who posted his letter to Bass Pro Shops earlier isn't an avid Hannity watcher, is he?

It's half and half. When the White House was pushed on it they said that they supported Article 5, but Trump not mentioning it was probably more of a implied threat to get the other NATO members to pay up, more than some kind of nefarious Putin scheme, though, of course, it would help Putin.

Ok, so not a gotcha moment, just more of that damn evidence stuff that Republicans always forget how to quantify.

Nah, it dovetails into the more Bannon-esk "We're being ripped off by other countries" shtick. It would be nice for Putin if America got rid of Article 5 but that's extremely unlikely. There was more of a risk of giving Putin what he wants when Trump was talking about getting out of NATO completely. Once we said we're in then it's just a matter of working out how much we can get others to pay.

They aren't removing article 5, but it's very clear trump (and thus the US) ain't doing **** if any of those NATO countries and europe gets invaded.

Last I read he was still peddling it on his radio show which is not affiliated with Fox

That seems appropriate for what he did, either under subsection a or c.

Here's the "aggravated assault" (felony) statute for Montana:



Since there wasn't serious physical injury, or the threat of serious physical injury, you don't have aggravated assault. The charge seems proper to me. Granted I haven't read the entire Montana Penal Law (not my state) so I suppose there could be other felony statutes I'm missing, but misdemeanor assault would be the charge filed in my state (New York) for conduct like this.

Edit: Also, 5 years for a one punch assault in any state sounds ridiculous. Were there other aggravating factors? Were you seriously injured? Did the guy have a significant criminal record?
Both sides of my jaw were shattered and I had extensive damage. I agree on its face its sound crazy but it emphasized at me at a young age that adults fighting is extremely stupid because extreme stuff can happen.

My impression is he was well known by the police and had an extensive history. I do suspect race/class and protecting tourism played a role. This was on the island of Kauai and my family owned several condominiums at a very high end complex there. Certainly none of that worked in his favor. I never even had to testify at his trial, in fact I think it was plead out which means there might have been other things I was not aware of at the time. This was over 20 years ago so I don't know how much different things were back then.

Personally outside of having massive dental work and multiple surgeries and a numb bottom lip for ten years it didn't really cause me any psychological harm from the standpoint that I get worried or scared. Like I said probably my biggest take away is people should never fight, it's s horrible idea and it's not manly. Lots of bad stuff can happen and you might even get yourself shot.

That is why what happened in Montana was so silly. If something went horribly wrong and the guy cracked his head on the edge of something he could be facing manslaughter. Why? Because a reporter was asking him questions?

I certainly hope that broken jaw, unprovoked, record and adult attacking a kid is a felony in most states.
