Trump rails against Democrats as communists and how socialism is the greatest threat to our country, yet he's undercutting American ranchers with artificially price-fixed foreign beef to boost his weak polling. Yet Montana ranchers will still vote Republican for some reason. Vote them out.

‘Extremely disappointed’: Western GOP lawmakers slam Trump’s beef plan

“American ranchers have been struggling ... and this will further harm them — most of whom are MAGA Republicans,” Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., said.

And the Trump justice department working with Trump's lawyers will go to Trump appointed judges and if need be to the Trump Supreme Court a full 1/3rd of whom he appointed and two others as corrupt as him. Tell me it's not a dictator move.

Trump isn't just a coward. He's a coward who put a about hundred other people, including other members of his administration at risk while scurrying away. Despite his "fight fight fight" bravado after a supporter of his shot and killed another supporter of his, he's selfish and yellow-bellied.

PR'd my back squat (post fusion) by 5 pounds yesterday. Probably never getting back in the 4-plate+ club but love a little progress.

The richness that it was his lawsuit claiming their actions in closing his accounts were political that brought about this filing. Even richer when they say they had to close the accounts because it's a federal requirement. He's such a moron. And a criminal one at that.

This seems significant 👀 The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump's family business. Capital One closed Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (“AML”) reasons. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I love people who live in the Spokane area. The information coming out of it about the fires is extremely scary.

The Governor illegally trapped and killed a wolf (radio collared), without a required certification. But FWP treated him as a very special boy like his idol, and he got away with it. He got a "warning" but I bet if someone he doesn't like does the same, they'll get in trouble.

Gianforte will enthusiastically issue bear tags, and then say “whoops, looks like we killed too many“ - just like they did with wolves dailymontanan.com/2026/07/24/m...

This is the western United States right now. Fires all over. That's in about 350 million acres. How these people think anyone could "rake," "groom," or "maintain" nearly a billion acres of forest (911 million acres in Canada) just proves how either stupid or disingenuous.

Screenshot of the Watch Duty app that tracks and provides info on wildfires. A large majority of the western United States is shown with wildfires all over.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

Can someone more knowledgeable tell me why that wasn't a goal? Seems like it's Spain against Argentina and FIFA.
