Despite pressure from Republican leadership (and everyone else), Rep. Rodney Garcia vowed he would resign “only if God asked me to.”

Rep. Rodney Garcia (R-Nutcase) stated this at a big Republican gathering in Helena on February 1. The next day, speaking to a reporter, he doubled down on his diatribe. It’s really too bad that guys like this get elected … but it’s also rather entertaining.

Sen. Fred Thomas (R-Stevensville) strongly backed term limits back in 1992. (I drew the first cartoon back then.) Now he’s saying they not be the best idea. And, in spite of term limits, he has gamed the system to serve a total of 24 years in the Legislature.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) joined nine other wingnuts in calling for the Senate to dismiss the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. This simply is not an option because of … well … the Constitution.

Northwestern Energy is all excited to buy Puget Sound Energy’s 25% share of Unit 4, thereby making a sound investment in doomed technology. But then, it is only a buck.

Here’s another example of how Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) is blindly devoted to POTUS SHMOTUS. He was among only 71 House members who opposed the resolution.

Don Kaltschmidt (“Don K”) is the recently elected chairman of the Montana Republican Party. He has hit the ground running with his own unique brand of vituperation.

It’s easy and fun! (Except for the horse.)

Public Service Commissioner Roger Koopman (R-Bozeman) recently ranted another op-ed about climate change. He again decried the “socialist agenda” behind high schoolers taking part in the Climate Strike. And he cited a few (discredited) sources, encouraging readers to “nourish your brains” with … well … to use a word he used last time, “hogwash.”

To be accurate, here’s what Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) said in a Lee Newspapers interview: “I read the transcript. I don’t think there’s anything there.” Apparently, Montanans elected an illiterate blind guy to the House of Representatives.
