From Montana's Last Best Place to Montana's First Worst Place

Let's see what shook out of the 2020 Montana GOP election goodie bag:  A mega-rich, once- convicted body-slamming governor with anger management issues, a bald-faced liar as US. senator, an anti-public school system superintendent of public instruction, an attorney general who is standing way too far out in right field, and a newly elected US representative who doesn't have the brains God gave a goose.  Plus, he's determined to help Trump overturn the 2020 election, or get expelled trying.  

That should be enough grief for any  Montanan to  endure.  But, as the guy says, "Wait!  There's more!" So far, that only gives us Gianforte, Daines, Arntzen, Knudsen, and Rosendale. We still have a dump truck full of legislators to review. And I mean a dump truck load of 'em.  The new Legislative Session is reeking with Republicans - from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling!

 

The Montana Republicans have the state by the tail on a downhill pull and those of us who count ourselves as "common folk" are in for four years of ungodly hell and damnation.

Governor Gianforte and the criminally-elite members of the State GOP Legislature announced masks would be optional before they even found the way to their little desks.  Gigantic tax cuts for the rich are to be given, and a wee small pittance of relief for the rest of us will be promised from the petty cash drawer.  Of course, a state-wide ban on abortions has also been promised.  They can't forget something that's for the good of their loyalists.

Perhaps you find my crystal ball forecasting a little cynical and pessimistic.  I'll concede that I am holding back a little. After all, the coven has only been operating for about a week. Their caldron isn't bubbling yet and the order of wings of bats and eyes of newt haven't even arrived. Good times are promised.

There will be plenty of time for them to get down to their really evil stuff.

Right now, about all we can do is sit back and roll our eyes at the GOP's version of Montana's "Last Best Place" that will soon  become Montana's "First Worst Place."

 

We are about to find out exactly who is the real "enemy of the people."

Keep your screens open to the "Montana Troublemaker."
