In reply to the discussion: JD Vance is in Butte, MT [View all]MontanaMama
(24,618 posts)14. Well...I'm definitely NOT a YS fan.
Sorry. I know people love the show. When the film crews were here in town, most of us were annoyed.
Dillon is amazingly beautiful. Most of Montana is and there isnt a day that Im not grateful for that.
Regarding Vance being here
I cannot help but wonder what the payoff is for him/them
whoever. Why here? Why not some rando hotel in DC? Why not a zoom meeting? Why not Atlantic City? 10 days ago, I kind of got that they would land here in Zoo-Town and get shuttled in swanky limos to the Paws Up
but Butte to Dillon? Strange. Maybe theres a billionaire with a sweet place out in the woods where theyre hatching a plan for the end of FOTUS. Anything is possible.

I've been there to pick up product and as far as I can tell it's a surface mine.

The plot thickens. I swear: I didn't know someone had already said that.
