My owl seems to have gone missing now as well. #nohoots
When people say that if you taxed Elon's wealth, he'd have to sell stocks to pay his taxes on unrealized gains, and I say, "So what?"
I could scour the heavens above and the depth of the ocean. I could search every alternate universe and timeline in the Marvel Universe. And there is nowhere that I could find a hoot to give about Elon's problem if he had to sell some stock to pay his taxes.
None.
If people have their property seized to pay for taxes on the rising price of their property, then I am utterly and completely empty of hoots for Elon having to sell some stocks.
Especially since every human being without pudding for brains knows that he wouldn't have to sell stocks. He'd just take out a loan, like he did when he needed cash to buy Twitter.
Or like he does when he tries to buy US Senators in Texas.
If he can try to own the government, he can help pay for it. I could not possibly be more hootless about what problems that may present to him.

In Montana, a billionaire gets one vote. So does a rancher, a teacher, a waitress and a student. At the ballot box, we're all equals.
Never forget the power of your vote.

Amidst the serious issues we are facing, there is also the absurd. 🤦🏼♀️

Again: don’t get complacent.
Polls look great, but polls don’t vote.
Ignore this shit and vote like we’re down by 3%

Call it what it is: oligarchy.
So we're now funding the war AGAINST Ukraine? Got it.
I hate these people so much. Blatant corruption with no end in sight.
Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel."

The Seahawks are the most stable, solid NFC franchise since 2012 and it's not close.
2 Super Bowl titles, 3 SB apps. 5 division titles. Just one double-digit loss season.
Rams? 1 title sure but also 2 12-loss seasons in last 10 yrs.
49ers? 0 titles since 1994.
Eagles have a decent case. 2 titles. But they have had 3 head coaches in the last 11 years. They lost 11 games in 2020. SEA hasn't lost more than 10 since 2009.
Packers? Seahawks have won 2 Super Bowls since the last time they even appeared in one.
Wow...Montana politics are quite the mess. Don't forget, voters, this was by design. #mtpol

I don't care if the polls say the Democrats are leading by 35%, you get your ass out there and vote

One thing that makes me profoundly sad when I think about 9/11:
We largely saw the best of America for a while after the towers fell. The “rally around the flag” effect was real.
I remember standing in my driveway that evening, talking with all of my neighbors. I didn’t agree politically with some of them. Hell, I didn’t even *like* some of them. But that didn’t matter.
None of us knew how, but we all knew our lives had forever changed, and we knew we were stronger together.
I’m not sure ANY event today would bring people together like 9/11 did. The gap feels too wide, and the elites have a vested interest in keeping it that way.
It’s a shame that we continue to play their game.

Who are the largest private landowners in Montana? It seems like a straightforward question, but answering it isn’t as simple as sorting a spreadsheet. The state doesn’t keep an easy-to-read list of the state’s top landowners, so we built our own. bit.ly/45VWkqx
