Bozeman protest

[noharleyyet]

Looked like about 50 people with similar placards gathered in a cold blowing rain in our downtown around noon…no news crew yet.

Is that right???

Yes. Go look up the goals of the protest. I guess I'm surprised you didn't know.

Also, dead obvious it wasn't state specific. Just political events which is fine if you like what they stand for.

 

[FairWeather]

Glad to see people giving a damn.

 

[Doublecluck]

Damn! Musta missed it. Was shooting white geese in the face in Nodak

 

[MTGomer]

I saw some pictures of some real doozies on the signs.
Cable news addicted Boomers.

I guess you really can't read "sign"...there's a real shock.

Also, public lands are a concern for people in all 50 states, last time I checked.

Seriously?
Bit of a broad sweep.

Where were these heroes when the previous few administrations were killing our dollar, selling out to big pharma, allowing other nations to tarriff us to death, and giving money to every nation we could think of?

It's just Trump Hate, so I ignore it. Yawn

Studies have been done that show that age group still gets the majority of their “news” from traditional cable news media.

Where else would they get whacky conspiratorial ideas like their Medicaid and social security is getting taken away? Nobody with a brain believes that. Even if there were politicians that wanted that, it’s political suicide and everybody knows it.

I’m against tariffs but that’s because I love capitalism.

I’m trying to figure out how the anti capitalists and those that say they hate big corporations are so mad about the stock market decline. Shouldn’t they be celebrating?

Gee, I don't know, maybe from a crazy south african that nobody voted for calling SS a ponzi scheme and he wants to end it?

Just guessing.

I used to think wanting to sell off our public lands was political suicide as well...wrong about that. I used to think that buying elections, or attempting to, was against the law, wrong about that. I would have never guessed people would storm and vandalize our nations capitol, wrong about that.

I could go on all day of the things I used to think would be political suicide for politicians if they tried.

He’d like to colonize mars too

I’m not holding my breath

I drove past a protest today as they were shaking fists, yelling and screaming to meet my wife for lunch. I had to park three blocks from the restaurant because all the spots were full. I’ve never seen so many Tesla’s in one block.

 

[jimh406]

Somebody is proving MTGomer's point.

Since I make the Boomer cut by a month I'm forced to accept all the dumb ass associations. But fair to say Boomers have more money contributed to the system, therefore a valid reason to balk.
I don't watch cable news, nor do I wear white sneakers/socks.

Have you ever put the two actions together? Why he hates our Social programs and his desire to get Mars colonized? They say follow the money. BTW this Boomer gets his news from a variety of sources none of which are cable news networks. I also was at a protest in the Belly of the beast where over 500 others felt the urgency to pass up a weekend day to protest.

Public land advocates, federal workers, Vets, were all on hand.

I cannot say that I have. Are they related?
I’m unsure of his basis for supposedly hating our social programs.
I think the colonize mars thing is because he thinks earth will become uninhabitable due to climate change and over population and that “planetary redundancy” is needed.


Planetary redundancy and social security. We cover it all on here don’t we

 

[cgasner1]

Just like most weekends I avoided down town Billings. Could really care less how many clouds they yell at down there. If it’s not the boomers it’ll be the bums

 

[Bonasababy]

It wasn't about public land, and definitely not state specific.

There were all kinds of signs saying" hands off our public lands" at the protest in my state.

Over 6000 at our state capitol, a thousand in Rochester, a thousand in Bemidji, two thousand in Duluth...
