    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    So, a Don Quixote of sorts.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Please, you and I both know a snow ball has a better chance of surviving in the sun next month, than she has this fall. I guess that makes her purer than melted snow.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Yes, I got the same mailer. Money in politics is a reality, and has always been that way. It's gotten worse, since Citizen's United. More than the obscene amount of money, it's the ability to shield the real identity of the source of the money, that bothers me most. A Senate candidate that only...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    I have long been resistant to term limits. It has played out, about how I thought. It takes time to learn the job, longer to make meaningful relationships with members from across the aisle. You arrive, fairly certain that everyone on the opposite side is wrong, and question their motives. Once...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    It is an uphill pull for any candidate in Montana, without the GOP label beside them. imo, Bodnar aligns closer to a Democrat, than a Republican. As I stated earlier, almost no one fits perfectly in either party. It is a fact that over the last generation or more, the national Democratic party...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    I do not think most people neatly fit entirely in either party. But, given the fact that for almost the entirety of our history, there have been two political parties, that are dominant, people most often pick the party that come closest to their views. There are fringe parties, like the Green...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Regarding the Biden Harris handoff, I do not think Biden intended to step down. He was forced down, after the debate showed the world, his diminishment. It happened so late in the calendar that doing anything close to normal would have been very difficult. As a person who voted for Biden in...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    That speaks even more poorly of him, then. Either way he's a pos imo.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    No small part of this is that Daines knew this shenanigan would catch Democrats flatfooted. Daines showed how much he respects the Montana voters. It was more important to him to rig a game, than allowing Montanans to choose among several candidates. Politics has always been a cutthroat...

    Ukraine / Russia

    Decades went by without the Saudis having a path to a nuke. They wielded a lot of clout in the oil market, all of that time, as they still do. They need to sell oil, as much or more as the world needs their oil. That has not been great leverage to obtaining nukes. It took a special president to...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    That might be a red flag for a Bernie Madoff situation.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Without doubt, luck is part of the outcome. I have friends from work, who retired right into the teeth of the 2008 downturn. That downturn caused me to decide on retiring @ 62 instead of 60. For a couple of decades, I was planning for a retirement at 60. Then that downturn put a serious hurt on...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I look at it as we are getting the government we want. Collectively, we want the services, but do no want to pay for them.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Everyone has their own take on how to manage their income. I'm reluctant to say there is only one correct answer. One thing that, I think, worked well for us, is we took out a 15 year mortgage, to buy our first home. You build equity more quickly. It also put us debt free, as our two children...

    Llama Insurance?

    With all due respect to Wyonna, that is the asking price. There may or may not be a buyer, at that price. Recently I was at a horse auction. Actually even went down a couple of days earlier, just because I like horses. I struck up a conversation with an older gentleman, as his adult daughter...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    Actually a one time line item, for its demolition.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    So are you saying this white elephant will be obsolete when weapons we haven't yet envisioned are developed?

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    Nice deflection. The January 6 failed insurrection never happens absent one man. You know who he is...and it's not Rudy Giuliani, or Mike Pence. Now please, we made it 250 years without a ballroom. We could easily do another 250. It is a garish monument to one man. That is the reason for its...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    Are we talking the January 6 rioters??? Of course not. There is almost nothing positive to say about a gilded ballroom. It's a garish, white elephant.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    It may or may not be true that every politician is crooked, I hope it's not true. One thing that is true is the subset of politicians who have paid out a $5 million judgement to a woman for sexual assault and defamation is a small one.
