Montana - What are you waiting for?


We were sitting at our dining room table last night, eating and trying to catch up on the local/state news. The story about our wretched state of affairs regarding taxes came up. Gov. Gianforte was seated at the big table with a few guys scattered about. The television crew was listening to each legislator as they talked about how they have the tax problem worked out.

First, every damn one of them belongs to the Party that got us into this fix in the first place. Does it make sense to you that they are the ones we should let "fix" the problem? Wasn't it their "supermajority" that caused the dastardly problem? The richest of Montana got tax cuts and the rest of us got an unholy increase! 

Why was there nary a Democrat at the table during the "fixing?"

Well, I'm asking a rhetorical question, aren't I?

Will we end up with another "superdoopermajority legislature next session? Will they finally finish us off this time? Or, will we stand up on our hind legs, grow a backbone, and turn this state around to what it used to be:  "The Last Best Place" when Democrats had something to say about things?

Did Gianforte and his MAGA henchmen run the liberals out of Montana?  And speaking of Gianforte, he must be awfully sure he is going to win again - I haven't seen a single one of his ads on TV. Maybe he runs them in the middle of the night.

A lot of questions. . . and no answers. A few years ago, Montana took care of things pretty well. Then, evidentially, Democrats lost their way to the ballot box.

Let's get to work . . . and get these MAGA Montanans out of the way!

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

It's immoral to even let him run for office. . .

  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'

Did Trump's Plane Get the "Boot?"

Image
TRUMP'S MAIN GEAR TIRE BOOT? Very few times is it necessary to put a restrainer boot on a commercial airliner tire, so few airports have them available. One particular plane, however, is popularizing their need. It belongs to - as far as we know - an owner named TRUMP, the name that is highly visible on the side of the plane. It is reported that he has trouble paying his Gate Rental fees when he lands at airports. This blog could not verify that report, however. The unofficial report specifically mentioned the Trump jet that wanted to land at the Bozeman, Montana area airport but they refused his landing privilege due to a sizeable overdue bill from previous landings.  He landed in Billings, instead, and had to caravan to Bozeman for his Rally.  If you look closely at the above photo of his plane, we think you will notice what appears to be a "TIRE BOOT" on the main gear. We, again, can't verify this because the main gear tire is too far from the photographer. The boo
