Kennedy killed the US Hat industry. Now, you see “Baseball” caps every where. Logo’s to show allegiance to something. I started wearing Hats in college in the mid 60’s. A good friend wore them, no one else did (except for the Vet students, who were mostly farm and ranch kids). I liked the idea. Knit hats went from the ski slopes to regular wear. I still have my Navy Watch Cap from 1969. When I worked in offices, I wore hats to work. All different styles. Now, summer a variety of BB hats, winter mostly knit hats. Keeps ears warm.
Montana’s Supreme Court has passed a ruling, that, in essence, says, [all children + all people in Montana, have THE RIGHT to a clean, or non-polluted, environment].
The MSC has decided that, paraphrased- “That all Montana youth have a fundamental and constitutional right, to a healthful and clean environment to live in.”
I see. SINCE…WHEN?
I believe that Montana’s Supreme Court is just giving in to a handful of environmental, political people, who have extreme, political views.
I’d love it if- the State of Montana could 1] guarantee that Montana could have [a clean environment] for eternity, and 2] had the resources + law enforcement to enforce this [clean environment], in theory, but- [how] could any US state, find a way to do those two things, in a practical way?
In theory, I’d love it if: The USA, or any nation, or any US state…or town, could guarantee that its citizens get: life long housing, live long food, and all needed…life long supplies, but how could anyone 1] get the money to make it happen, or 2] get the taxpayers of any land, to pay for such a program, [without violating their rights], such as, my words- the right NOT to be forced by a government- to pay for this type of…or any type of, an unreasonable, impractical, government program?
I believe that Montana’s Supreme Court wanted to help Montana’s people, by making [a plan for a clean environment in Montana], but instead they have made for themselves a governmental nightmare.
Montana’s Supreme Court should also be asked to rule on a few other issues:
1. All Montana high school students earn straight A’s,
2. All girls born in Montana win the top prize in Montana State beauty contests,
3. All boys born in Montana can run a 4-minute mile in high school,
4. All Montana citizens eat their fill three times a day and do not gain weight, and
5. Free beer!
Might as well shoot for the moon!
Who has to clean up all that horsesh*t, bullsh*t, birdsh*t, and batsh*t in the Montana environment to render it clean enough? To say nothing of the indoor sh*t that needs to be cleaned up.
The MSC may want to clean up their noggins and their rooms.
Something about the benefits of childhood exposere to dirt and intestinal parisites and the normal immune system function (allergies etc.) comes to mind.
To F, and om,
Exactly. I totally agree with your [not] liking the MSC’s idea.
Cheers.

Huge implications for the use of AI. They used AI to “read” all 1,574 pages of that monstrosity and pull out the graft and corruption. This is a game changer. They can’t hide things in multi-thousand page bills anymore.
Mark Halperin was questioning Vivek’s claim to have read the 1500+ page bill. This explains how he did it. He didn’t take an Evelyn Woods course.
well there’s enough in the bill, to know it’s not a pony, of course they bury the horseapples in the bill, does anyone in government or corporate media do their appointed job,
Halperin and his former colleague Heileman, are easy marks for Wallace and Schmidt, for itenerant Obama staffers, et al
‘I’m good at killing people’ this was a year before Islamic State removed all doubt about that matter,
when you live this far inside the cave, you will never see the light,
@miguel cervantes:does anyone in government or corporate media do their appointed job,
They do it perfectly; it’s just not the job the public thinks it is.
@SHIREHOME:Kennedy killed the US Hat industry.
How? By being the last President to wear a top hat to his inauguration? He doesn’t appear to have looked stupid in it so I’m not sure why he’s taking the blame for it.
Eisnehower, on the other hand, did not wear a top hat to his inauguration, he wore a homburg.
@Brian E:Mark Halperin was questioning Vivek’s claim to have read the 1500+ page bill.
The old “bury the pork in 15,000 pages of an unrelated bill” dodge has reached its end, I see.
I’m not worried about AI hallucinations on a bill text, because you can always CTRL-F for the thing it says it found.
Would be funny if they tried to stop making electronic versions of bills as a defense.
This bloated CR is a test run for DOGE. If Republicans are unwilling to fight for reforming the bureaucracy now– when there will be little repercussions in two years when they’re up for re-election, why do they think making hard choices about cutting spending will be easier when those decision are still fresh in voters minds.
And they shouldn’t assume some voters might reward them making those tough choices for the benefit of the country.
Once Trump has signaled this is part of his overall agenda, any Republican who fights the efforts to reform the government should expect a massive obstacle in the next election. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are committed to reforming the government. I imagine they wouldn’t find it difficult to set aside a billion dollars or two to support candidates that share their goals.
The House needs to pass a minimalist CR and make the senate vote to shut down the government. If they won’t, Vivek and Elon might as well shut down DOGE, because it’s obvious Republicans aren’t serious about being the party of fiscal responsibility.
Republicans need to recognize they are no longer going to be held captive to a hostile press making Republicans the villain in these budget battles. The new media is winning the information wars and can counter the dying media.

It does indeed look as though “Biden” has 32 days left to screw over both Trump and Netanyahu…
…and, most importantly, the two countries Trump and Netanyahu were elected to lead.
