this poster does not depict anything violent. I'm not sure how anyone can make that claim. if tester was standing over trump with Negan's baseball bat, then sure, but all it shows is his skeleton. this is so not a big deal. 

I agree.  I can see how some might see it as “distasteful” on a artistic personal preference level, but otherwise I believe it falls under the 1st Amendment rights category.  But I also agree with your previous comment about the outrage by thin skinned individuals if the tables were turned.  It’s just a fucking politically inspired concert poster at the end of the day, not a call for violence or threat or anything that would take it out of the realm of 1st Amendment protected rights.  
It most likely wouldn’t be one that I would hang on my wall due to the political nature (I prefer to display more light hearted artwork in my house), but could see it being a cool “signs of the times” piece of artwork in the future.

anyone on the left claiming there wouldn't be absolute outrage and condemnation if this was Obama is kidding themseleves. even if it somehow, miraculously, couldn't be misconstrued as racially motivated, the left would still go apeshit over it. 

If Obama acted, spoke, tweeted and governed like Team Trump Treason, no. It’s not like Team Trump Treason and his Administration have been inclusive or concerned.

not relevant.  

If Team Trump Treason acted/governed more like a Bush or traditional repube, you’d see JA come up with this kind of poster?

Yup. Cause the left over exaggerated their hate of republicans and now it’s bitting them in the ass.

just like the republicans over exaggerated their hatred of obama.

Can we define "outrage"?
I haven't really seen what I call outside, outside of comments on Fox. Maybe some think it is in poor taste, but that isn't the same as outrage.  Didn't even Tester say it was poor taste, so I think that is a reasonable reaction.
Ignore some Fox broadcasters and there isn't much outrage that I've seen.

Some “outrage” in comments on various news articles online across the spectrum 

I've seen some of that. I just dont think that equates to the amount of outrage many are claiming they see.
Yeah, I've seen a couple news reports outraged over it (but only when I go out of my way and search for it, haven't seen any just watching evening news) and some comments online in response to articles about the poster.
But I have yet to know anyone in person who is actually upset over it. Not one. 
I just think by the way us snowflakes are being described and mocked at how easily we are offended, I'd at least know some in real life that exist. But I don't know a single one.
I think the outrage is just in the media and no where else.

Tester’s opponent seemed pretty outraged by it as evidenced by his comments. But hey, if you don’t see it, it doesn’t exist.

Tester's opponent moved to Montana from Maryland sometime in the early 2000s.  I don't think the locals would like a transplant as their senior regardless of a poster.  

Are you arguing that a red state that opposed Obama by 66,000 votes, 80,000 if you count the other candidates and Hillary by 101,000 or 139,00 if you count the other candidates, wouldn't elect a repube senator because he wasn't born and raised in the state and has only lived there for 15 or 16 years? That's crazy talk.

I think- at least in the US- one's party affiliation does reveal some levels of their character.

And I thought 'repubes' was an accepted term? No? Seems legit.

How is it biting them in the ass?

Stupid conservatives use it as a rallying cry and they can’t seem to mobile the moderates. Crying wolf. Just my opinion. Has me worried for 2020

Two things that I find interesting about comments on the board, and elsewhere. 

One is that a surprising number of people seem to think their own reasons for posting are perfectly legitimate but anyone who is not in agreement with their posts is “just arguing for the sake of arguing”. 

The second is that people can make up really elaborate fantasies about other posters based on nothing at all. Honestly, unless you’ve met someone, why do you think you know anything about them?

Wtf have you been drinking?

You just like to argue to argue.  I hope you get laid soon so you can have some joy in your life.

At least I, like, talked to Montana residents and got their feeling on the race.  I even met Tester in the Dram Room by chance before the show.  But.....I could just sit in Canada, be angry and everyone’s comments, call Republicans ‘repubes’ which is offensive to me as my grandparents are Republicans and are great citizens.  Your party affiliation doesn’t doesn’t determine what kind of a person you are.  Kind of like you being angry at everyone for nonflipping reason.  Focus on fun and life and not being such a negative Canadian.

There are at least 10 false or misleading statements in this post. So much for “rolling with the facts.” Better pump the brakes.

List them.  Because since you were not with me none of those were.  But please....feel free to list them.

Why should I have to list them? Based on some logic around these parts, since I didn't personally experience it, it doesn't exist. You're the one running with the "facts." But, I'll give you one, "You just like to argue to argue."

Just asking  you to prove how factual you are and ahow
the minimum of 10 false or misleading statements in that 1.5 paragraphs.  Have at it there captain exaggeration.  It is so obvious just list them.  

To quote a famous repube, "there you go again."

So, do you believe the following to be true or false:

1. “There was no collusion.”
2. “I don’t know any Russians.”
3. “I have nothing to hide.”
4. “I’ll sit down and talk with anyone.”

What “legit” sources of information are you relying upon prior to making your decisions?

Wait a minute, did Jeff say Kanye didn't have the right to say what he said or just didn't like what he said?

He just questioned his integrity. Stated he loves Kanye but because of his words he's gone the other way. Kanye's speech was too much for Jeff to handle. Jeff's entitled to the view but it's a pathetic point of view coming from a champion of artistic freedom. That's his freedom.

So... Jeff has to agree with what anyone else thinks, or he is pathetic?

So... I have to stop eating meat or I'm a shitty person? Don't pretend you're above arbitrarily drawing lines of what's acceptable and what's not.

I don't understand.

I'm asking why you hold issue with some binary thinking but not all. Based on your personal set of values, it appears that you draw outlandish conclusions with no room for grey in your black and white world.
