the downside is many people have voted by mail already

I'd expect he still wins because of the mail in vote. The only way Quist wins is if Gianforte dropps out.

Owning shares in Russian-focused index funds that makes up between 0.1% and 0.4%of your net worth is really not a big deal.

If he doesn't resign, the house could refuse to seat him, and force Montana to hold another special election.

I think the ties, however small, definitely become a really big deal when when you physically attack the reporter covering those ties, especially with our current political climate.

Gianforte is a tech dude who kept picking the right times to get out. All these right wing assholes are share investment advice, and if there is a deep russian conspiracy this is how they get them. First they get them financially tied in, then they start doing favors, etc.

I mean gently caress Sean Spicer of all people is invested in some russian wine company of all loving things and people.

Also Gianforte doesn't believe in retirement because uh

quote:

Gianforte has outlined his position on retirement by using the Biblical example of Noah. He said, "There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach... The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical.
