The wingnuts gathered at the capitol to protest government restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic. They then went back to their burgs to boost community spread.

“Wacko Joe” Balyeat is a former (phew!) state senator and high-school National Merit Scholar (wow!). He penned a screed touting the magic of hydroxychloroquine while fuming about … well … other stuff. He is fortunate that HCQ cured him about the time he was recovering anyway.

Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) and Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) are masters of B&D: Bloviate and Dissemble. Unfortunately, the eviscerated Montana media outlets seem resigned to carry their water.

The Republican ‘leaders’ of the Montana Legislator sent a letter to the Governor, calling his measures to mitigate coronavirus “arbitrary” and “unconstitutional.”  They requested directives to get Montana’s economy rolling again.

It’s a mystery. The Green Party disavows its placement on the ballot. The Club for Growth said it stopped its petition scam on February 5th.  UPDATE: It was the Republican Party. Surprise!

Republican Greg Gianforte tries again to win the statehouse. He’s sitting on quite a bankroll to finance his purchase.

With all their sniping, spying, and backbiting, Montana’s Public Service Commissioners aren’t serving the public much.  Doesn’t keep them from banking their $109,000 salaries.

Yesterday, Rep. Rodney Garcia (R-Nutcase) backpedaled. In a demented letter to media outlets, he said the whole idea of shooting socialists “was a well received joke.” If you’re unfamiliar with the First Rule of Holes, it reads, “When in one, stop digging!”

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) has been toadying along ever since Trump’s inauguration. It doesn’t seem likely to change soon.
