With Council Members Like Kristen Jordan, No Wonder The City Struggles To Water Trees – by Travis Mateer

Did you know that this proud mountain town–a town that considers itself so ahead of the curve with its forward progressive thinking–can’t water trees without MRA tax money?

While this statement seems too stupid to be true, it actually is, with the first indication that Missoula was so dysfunctional it would rather spend money on SIGNS begging the public to water trees than do something less patently absurd.

When KPAX covered this tree-watering-begging-campaign by the city to compel citizens to water its trees, I included this amazing inability by city leaders in this post about worthless Sheriffs and worthless virtue-signalers.

Well, now that MRA is getting involved, this story has just gotten even MORE offensive, especially considering property owners are still adjusting their orifices to the latest tax strap-on the city puts on this time of year.

Street trees funded by the Missoula Redevelopment Agency in conjunction with various projects may get a better chance at thriving under a contract the agency established with Parks and Recreation.

Under the agreement approved last week, MRA will pay the parks department $1,000 to store, install and care for a tree after planting for a period of two years. 

Public Works and Mobility has also contracted with parks to care for the trees associated with its projects.

Now, let’s address the City Council member I had a nice little chat with on Saturday about weaponized restraining orders, Legos, and the option of cutting my dick off.

If Kristen Jordan read past the headlines where her name has appeared, like this one, then she wouldn’t have been busted in a lie. Another way of avoiding getting busted telling lies is NOT TO LIE IN THE FIRST PLACE, which, I’ll remind Jordan, is a better option than the one she offered when I explained how the civil process of defending oneself from an order of protection can easily be weaponized when just having a male appendage feels like a mark against you.

“You can always cut it off,” Kristen Jordan quickly replied, referring of course to my penis.

When I leaned closer to quietly counter the slanderous falsehoods Jordan has spread about me, her first response was a categorical denial that she had “heard” the accusations that she, herself, has made. When I told Jordan I had the text, her response wasn’t to deny that she had sent it, but to ask my how I had gotten it.

“I have good sources,” I told her. Was this before or after I explained why I now considered Kristen Jordan to be a Socialist psyop? I can’t recall. Perhaps I was too flustered with the unprofessional rhetoric about my cock.

Anyways, the committee that includes Parks and Rec will be meeting tomorrow to say YES to spending a couple hundred grand on trailheads. Thank goodness CONCRETE doesn’t need watering!

If I have the time and temperament, maybe I’ll call in a public comment about how amazing it is that something so simple is made so damn difficult by so many seemingly NOT retarded public officials. Or maybe I’ll find something more constructive to do, like work on the book outline I wrote up yesterday about something I’m calling The Great JuBu Karma Con, so stay tuned!

And, as always, thanks for reading! (even you, Kristen)

  1. Lazy Loony Libs will never change. It is about time we let people outside city limits vote and stop letting the temporary liberal students vote.

    1. That will fix absolutely nothing. Like today’s post shows, conservatives are just as willing to abandon what pretense of principles they pretend to have at the slightest emergence of discomfort in their own backyard. How do you think “liberals” managed to have 9 pet conservatives on a leash in Helena during the entire legislative session. Fuck both parties, that’s the only sane position to have right now.

  2. There is an easy way for the City to avoid having to water trees. Rip them out and pour concrete in their place. One time charge and done. You really don’t have to water concrete.
