. . . and dat's da name of dat tune!

 
This kind of Montana Republican crap should make our blood run cold. . . 

Excerpts from Montana Free Press, Dec. 4, 2021: "Attorney General Austin Knudsen's office met last month with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who spent November lobbying state attorneys general to challenge 2020 election results at the U. S. Supreme Court.

After months of pressing their case with various elected officials in Montana, several people who have raised questions and allegations about the state's 2020 election met last month with Attorney General Austin Knudsen's staff.

Spokesperson Emilee Cantrell told Montana Free Press via email this week that members of Knudsen's staff, whom she did not identify, met Nov. 10 at the AG's office with Sen. Theresa Manzella, R-Stevensville, and an unspecified number of "guests" including MyPillow founder Mike Lindell. MTFP first learned about the meeting from a Facebook video posted by the organization Richland County Republicans. Rep. Bob Phalen, R-Glendive, informed the gathering that Manzella and Lindell had presented Knudsen with information they claim supports their allegations of election fraud in the 2020 Montana election. Phalen mentioned that Douglas Frank, an Ohio mathematician who spoke at a similar symposium in Ravalli County in late September, was also at the meeting." by Montana Free Press

Update by MTFP: Two Montana lawmakers were given taxpayer funds last fall to reimburse their attendance at a three-day "cyber symposium" in South Dakota where the host, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, perpetuated debunked allegations of widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.


The rest of the findings is of little importance. What is important is this: Such a meeting as outlined by the Montana Free Press did take place and statements by those in attendance are factually reported!

The Montana Republicans carried out those ridiculous conspiracy theories that were hatched at the national Republican level. The former president's "trained chimpanzee" Mike Lindell of MyPillow fame was the instigator of the "Big Lie," but the Montana Attorney General and his Party members in the State Legislature were more than willing to run with the lie here in Montana.

Are they saying the GOP "red wave" of winners in 2020 were brought about through fraudulent voting?

From all of this malarkey came the state new legislature's bills to make voting harder here in Montana. Undoubtedly, that was the sole purpose for the scheme.  The 2020 election wasn't the goal as much as spreading fraudulent election lies. It gave them the excuse to  set in place all of the voter suppression bills that have been placed around the country!

Montana - and America - have been duped by a menagerie of Republican thugs and liars who are hell-bent on destroying our democracy! 

And dat, my friends, is da name of dat tune.

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
