Mike Lee was born with every conceivable advantage in life. His father was US Solicitor Gen & dean of BYU Law, where Mike went to school. Older brother UT Sup Ct justice. Then he got jobs where family connections certainly help open doors. But he decided he wanted to be Catturd.

You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

You'd think police would be outraged that a fanatic was impersonating them to carry out a political assassination. Have there been statements from any police chiefs around the country regarding the murders?
This is devastating for public confidence in the police.

I know the #Mormon community to be kind, generous and caring- for everyone in their community, not just Mormons.
So, how they could elect someone like Mike Lee to represent them is at best perplexing, at worst infuriating.

#Boelter claimed to be strongly anti-abortion, but he didn't hesitate to make some children parentless. Clearly, he really cares about life, which can be said for all those rabid fanatics who blow up clinics, shoot doctors, harass patients, and invade their privacy.
They care about life - their own.

The Ukrainians didn't inform the US about their attack yesterday.
Because they were afraid someone in the US administration would inform the Russians?
Because they don't view US communications as secure? (From Russia or China)
Because they view the US as more aligned with Russia than with #Ukraine?

Eastern Europe is becoming increasingly authoritarian because that's what those people know and like the best, especially men and people outside the cities. They miss the all-powerful leader to maintain status quo, keep the right people in and the wrong people out! Trump people!!
