I think this was the nugget in the thread. The republican speaker nomination was a sheeat show. Even Rosendale went viral with his weird vote. Still I'm happy with a split congress. Hadn't really looked beyond the speaker circus to contemplate the possibility of a federal land divestiture...
Sucks that politicians from both sides of the aisle have been misleading and distorting facts from long before our time. The fact that "fact checking" is even a thing is bothersome and made worse that fact checking needs to be checked. Trust is a centerpiece to any society and it's a precious...

All of that brings back lots of memories. Dan Maguire and Charlie often working at the R-bar. Glen Kautz made killer fishbowls at the Angus before going to the Bay. And KO would smoke anyone that wanted to take him on in foosball.
Wouldn't it be interesting to require 5 years of wildlife biology experience to be on the Commission? Whether it be elected or appointed!! Could you imagine a group of 7 MT biologists, retired or present, who get to tell the Director what to do :)
