Weed is legal in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont. Also nobody cares about Montana because it has never mattered politically or culturally to anyone not trapped there. Everyone panicked about the midwest rust traps because the people dying there caused Trump to win. Wreck the country and maybe someone will notice you.

I don't have a link, but I'm watching NBC Nightly News, and they're covering the Seth Rich story....in the sense that they're talking about Fox having to retract the story and Hannity losing voters.

It must be frustrating for alt-righters that their precious conspiracy is making the hated mainstream media, but with a big "this is bullshit and Fox is having to walk it back" caveat.

If the AHCA was actually a bill about improving access to affordable healthcare and its authors found out that it only really helps people who could easily afford health care and don't even need it (while butchering the poor and sick) they would have thrown it out and started over.

Tax cuts for people with too much money, and cheaper health care for young people who don't use it.

The argument is of course the old "deregulation = more competition = better results" nonsense. Ignoring of course that many of Oblammocare's regulations were created specifically because the free market was absolutely failing to deliver quality healthcare to those who needed it. It literally was a crisis and the GOP plan would create the same crisis again. Meanwhile America has horrendously overpriced medical care that isn't even the best in the world anymore.

No but Flake has never been a Trump fan and Kaine is obviously not a Trump fan so my bet's on it trying to limit some executive war powers

While it can be a problem in parts of Montana, I think that you are probably dealing with stereotypes there.

Just as a wild guess, are you from an East Coast state and you think that Montana is somehow just another version of Binghampton, Toledo, Grand Rapids or one of those East Coast cities?

Fortunately the SPLC has a handy Hate Map that we can use to kill 2 birds with one stone in this "learning opportunity".

Those lessons being:
1) There are 10 Active hate groups in Montana (according to the SPLC), which on its face looks good for Montana. When adjusted for population it comes in at #7 according to the math done here --> http://brilliantmistake.tumblr.com/post/182303771/most-hate-by-state

2) Looking at the map it's obvious with anyone with a working pair of eyes that not only is Michigan an East Coast state, it's also a Gulf Coast state.
