Campaigning at the Western Idaho Fair isn't anything new; both Democratic and Republican parties have had a regular presence at the end-of-summer celebration for as long as anyone can remember. But social media lit up late Saturday with a photo of this year's GOP booth at the fair revealed a prominently displayed a doctored but life-size photo of President Donald Trump with his arms locked around the neck of Hillary Clinton.
The photo caught widespread attention when Diana Lachiondo, candidate for the Ada County Legislature, posted an image of the display on Facebook.
"Holly smokes! This got a lot of heat," wrote Lachiondo. "Fortunately everyone commenting (Republicans and Democrats) agree that this is petty and unacceptable."
Democratic leadership of the Idaho House and Senate released a statement reading, "Domestic violence is nothing to joke about, and we are horrified that anyone would find this tasteless display humorous."
Some Republicans, including former GOP legislator Steve Smylie and former Ada County Commissioner (and current candidate for the same position) Sharon Ullman denounced the display, adding that the controversial photo had been removed for the booth.

A friend sent me this link & when I saw the title, I was thinking more of hands around the neck throttling Hillary. This is just Trump with a wrestling style choke-hold. I think it's kind of funny.

Democratic leadership of the Idaho House and Senate released a statement reading, "Domestic violence is nothing to joke about, and we are horrified that anyone would find this tasteless display humorous." Sounds like a group about as large as the white supremacist faction of the New Black Panther Party.

I still think the gif of Trump teeing off and Hillary getting the golf ball in the back before stumbling onto the plane is the best.

After a rough day that meme still elicits a laugh.

Hitlery Rotten Clinton used to throw ashtrays around when she was angry. Never did see Democrat lash out at her display of domestic violence.
To: Twotone
Howz about a video of the Trumpster body slamming the b****?
To: Twotone
"Domestic violence is nothing to joke about, and we are horrified that anyone would find this tasteless display humorous." Domestic violence? Are they claiming that Trump and Hillary are married?

Yep - I laugh at that, and every now and again, I watch “cause you’d be in jail”, for old times’ sake.
To: deks
the great thing about “reports” of such things (like a friend telling a friend or on the radio etc.) is that the image the receiver will picture a far more graphic bit of violence than was actually depicted. Fake News, phony outrage.
To: Twotone
Well, that didn’t take long. The image seems to have been deleted everywhere. After all, no one on OUR side is allowed to fight back or do anything that offends THEM... No, no, no....

I refuse to condemn it as long as the left refuses to condemn the kathy-turkey-neck-shriveled-up-old-hag-thing-griffin with the severed head.
