They say there’s a sucker state admitted to the union every minute.
Stupid is as stupid does…
Good Lord! Shouldn’t they be more concerned about all the Toronto-13 members streaming across our unprotected northern border? Priorities, people!
A Montana politician is proposing the state give more than $8 million
I wonder if he has ever traveled south of the Mason Dixon Line.
He better watch his back door because trumps next wall attempt will pass across his state.
terrorists and brown people sneaking in from Canada continuously . Don’t ya know?
Scott Sales, a fiscally conservative Republican
I’ll just leave this here.
As a Montanan, I am aghast at this silly proposal. Believe me folks, this is not a priority for Montana. Imagine somebody coming to our state capital, Helena, and leaving $8 million in cash on the steps of the Capitol building for the Legislature. Giving that $8 million to build a border wall is NOT what the Legislature would do. Now, imagine asking the Montana taxpayers to pony up those dollars. Like I said, it’s silly. On the other hand, the more closely whack job Republicans tie themselves to Republican President Donald Trump, the bigger the fall they will share. If that means Mr. Sales is consigned to the ash heap of Montana history, I am OK with that.
Montana shares a border with Mexico? Sweet Blessed Virgin Mary of the Holy Cartography has my geography been way off all these years.
Montana shares a 545-mile (877-kilometer) border with Canada, where there is no wall.
Have no fear, TPM! Fox is on the job!
…Montana, which last year faced a massive budget shortfall, appears to be the first to propose spending its own money on the project.
Wise…VERY wise.
Better idea would be that you and other MOntana GOPers put on your hip boots and shovel up all the cow patties and send them to the border. DHS could lay them out like smelly little landmines on our side of the border.
No self respecting crisis mongering illegal would want to get cowshit between their toes, or on their face.
Crisis solved!
Scott Sales, a fiscally conservative Republican who leads the state Senate, says his proposal is a “small token” to show border security “is of vital interest to all citizens regardless of what state they live in.”
Fun Fact: According to the most recent reports by the Department of Homeland Security and the Center for Migration Studies, a non-partisan think-tank, the number who overstayed their visas has outnumbered those who crossed the border illegally every year since 2007.
Canadians make up the largest group of these illegal migrants, followed by Mexicans.
Note: Montana shares a 545-mile-long (undefended) border with [gasp] Canada!
Montana sending 8 million to build a wall in TX perhaps? Could Montana confiscate property in TX to build that wall? Talk about State Rights and panties in a twist.
They have dark faces – must be those Mexican deer up from the border!
This is in Packwood, Washington. I’ve been through there many times and there are always a herd of elk present at all hours of the day and night. They own the place.
Speaking of small tokens.
h/t to the Halifax Chronicle-Herald. Seems like the Canadians see the humor as well.
Every Montanan I ever met seemed level-headed, thoughtful and sane. So just how in all get out did this clown gain a leadership position in their state? America, we have a problem…
Here, I’ll chip in a nickel for a monument to stupidity as a token to show how utterly ridiculous a certain legislator in Montana is. Since legislating is apparently all just for show these days, here in the infancy of the new dictatorial order.
$1 no more.
Imagine what you could do by taking that $8 million and directing it against the opioid problem in rural Montana! Instead they want to piss it away on a wall because, well, brown people!
