She’s an RN. She’s the medical director for an at-risk youth program at Warren AFB. She’s a badass single mother who left an abusive husband here in MT with her two kids to start a new life. I would like to mention her and wish her the safety and security we all deserve.

The word on the street is that if the First Nations people of Arizona all vote, they can turn Arizona Blue.

There's never been a better opportunity for the First Nations people to assert their electoral power as a community.

but the founding fathers couldn't have imagined a thing such as Wyoming.

When it's time to change, you have to rearrange...

JUST FUCKING STOP IT.


It's not just that the STATE has TWO SENATORS.

EVERY AMERICAN IN THE 50 STATES GETS TWO SENATORS.
Unless you live in Puerto Rico, DC or a US territory.


JeebusFuckingKrist, if it bothers you that much, you might consider that if WE didn't have two Senators out here, maybe we wouldn't have all this nice wild country so many of you like to visit/trash when you're on vacation. Oh, and all that fresh water that supplies most of the western US, you know, those states with so many very much more important people than those of us hogging too many Senators.

We have a shitload of virus carriers trying to hide out here right now. Out of staters brought COVID19 here for us to try and survive while THEY fill up OUR hospitals. And many disregarding OUR state's Stay at Home Mandate.


And they have doubled the state's population without paying taxes or contributing to our thin resources but wanting ALL the services we have here and then complain that it isn't enough. And they cleaned out our grocery stores when they got here... stores are still trying to restock a month later because dinky little states like ours have to wait until all you extra very important folks in bigger states get everything you need and want first.

See how that works?

And then those of us who do pay taxes and live here all year and vote here will suffer because those folks from other states with two Senators and lots of House Reps are here using our thin resources that we worked and fought for taking up space and resources WE need to stay alive.


Just STOP with this BS about small population states having two Senators. How many House Reps does your state have? Because states like WY & MT have ONE. Have to change the Constitution to change it and you will need our votes for that.


So thanks a lot for being supportive of your fellow Americans!

Get over it.

I agree it’s unconscionable to just pull into another state and raid their resources if you’re unhappy with where you live ... I had no idea people were doing that.

But, as far as representation in the Senate .... this article explains it well, even though it’s from 2018.

Have a good day...

I thought they already had one fatality, could have sworn i heard that on regional news last week. I know they had more cases than Montana up until maybe now.

We'd have less if all the trophyhomers and their RV buddies had stayed home.

Low population means far apart mercy, and that means you need low #'s all the time!

Unless mobile hospitals are R2G!?!

Add all the healthcare workers that are gonna get sick themselves is another monkey wrench.

Good Luck!
