GIANFORTE’S MANSIONS:

Now Gianforte’s showing off…

In a press release, the Busse for Montana Governor campaign claims that the current Montana governor, Greg Gianforte, has purchased his fourth Montana mansion.

According to the press release:

New Jersey billionaire governor Greg Gianforte has purchased a fourth multimillion-dollar mansion in Montana, public records show, making the Treasure State’s affordability crisis even worse.
According to the public property database Cadastral, Gianforte’s East Gallatin LLC now owns the lakefront mansion at 14 Leaning Tree Lane on Georgetown Lake, near Anaconda, Mont.
The website realtor.com, which features numerous photos of Gianforte’s luxury property, estimates the value of the 5,300 square-foot, three-bedroom, five-bathroom home, with a sauna and a wet bar, at nearly $4 million. The site says the mansion was purchased on March 12.
The Georgetown Lake property is the fourth known mansion owned by Gianforte. He also owns a mansion at 1320 Manley Road in Bozeman, and two on the same street in Helena’s “Mansion District”: 720 Madison Avenue and 618 Madison Avenue.

The problem I have with millionaires like Gianforte is there’s no freaking way he understands how tough it is on low- and middle-income people in Montana these days.

Having four homes in Montana is over the top – Gianforte is just showing off his wealth, which should turn off many voters.

ROSENDALE – PROPAGANDIST GAY FLAGS:

In a press release yesterday, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) sent a letter to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Denis R. McDonough, expressing outrage over McDonough’s misguided encouragement of VA medical facilities across the country to display “pride” flags. The letter emphasizes how the flag puts one group of veterans above the rest, is a waste of taxpayer dollars, and calls for the prohibition of “pride” flags from being flown at the Montana VA Healthcare System and VA facilities nationwide.
“The VA should be worrying more about providing world-class care to our veterans and less about inundating them with propagandist gay flags,” said Rep. Rosendale. “This unnecessary distraction does absolutely nothing to ensure our veterans are receiving the healthcare and benefits they have earned. I call on Sec. McDonough and all VA medical centers to halt this discriminatory virtue signaling immediately.”

I’m gonna miss Rosey and his throwing tantrums from his perch on the far-right of society.

Since Rosey will need a job, maybe he should move to Great Falls. There are many people there who hate the Pride Flag and what it stands for just like him.

TRUTH FROM TRUMP:

At his campaign rally in Las Vegas, former President Donald Trump told the crowd, “I don’t care about you, I just want your vote. I don’t care.”

Snopes checked on the clip and found it to be authentic. The full quote is:

And by the way, isn’t that breeze nice? Do you feel the breeze? Cause I don’t want anybody going on me, we need every voter. I don’t care about you, I just want your vote. I don’t care. See now the press will take that, they’ll say he said a horrible thing.

A few years ago, in Nevada, he told the crowd, “I like the uneducated.” (Source)

I know many uneducated people who love Trump. They are not smart enough to understand that he does not give a shit about them.

It’s nice that the truth comes out when Trump is in Nevada.

  2. Gee, I wonder where Mayor Cory and Rosy find inspiration to hate gays? Nah. Couldn’t be.

  3. If “Nope” Rosendale had spent nearly as much time actually working on legislation as he has on virtue signallng from the far right, he might have actually accomplished something in his 4 years besides helping take down McCarthy. But he didn’t and that’s it for his legacy, such as it is. What an absolute waste of 4 years of taxpayer dollars in salary and expenses.

  4. Speaking of out of touch billionaires, it’s because they don’t want to be in touch. It’s an annoyance for guys like Gianforte and Tall Tale Timmy. The system is broken.

    ”After all, why would the wealthy care if social security collapses? It’s not as if their lives—or the lives of their loved ones—depend on money earned through a lifetime of work.

    Potholes in the roads might slow down traffic, and failing railroads might cause them to sniff about supply chains. But then again, they have private jets, so the inconvenience will be minor. They certainly don’t need, or want, government regulations that protect workers, the environment, or fairness in the marketplace. 

    What they want is someone who will remove all of their obstacles. Someone who will, like another rising authoritarian 90 years ago, promise to crush labor unions and protect the interest of his donors. 

    And in 2024, they have their man.”
