And with foreign aid we have saved millions of lives, lifted the poor from poverty and fed the hungry. Christian stuff.
Sen Lee reposted this in an effort to make us think our gifts were a waste.
I think we used to be the white hatted cowboys. Lee demands austerity for all. Black hats for us.

Has it been two weeks already?
First time he said it was two weeks away, John McCain was still alive. So, about 10 years.

If I were a woman in Trump’s America, I’d want to keep my options open, too.
Doesn’t take a genius.
“Dominion over your wives”-has a very dark tone under MAGA

Bet Senator Lee can’t define Socialism.
I’m not endorsing it, but still don’t think Lee could define if put on the spot.

Who didn’t sent troops when the Capitol was attacked?
Who did send troops to Portland when there was no need? (People in frog costume mocking men in uniforms?)
Please, Senator Lee, stop the grandstanding.

And those congressional districts are supposed to follow the laws and constitution of Utah.
In this case, the legislature ignored the law and will of the people. If they had done what was right instead of what they wanted-the maps would be different.

40% of the state will now have 25% representation in the House of Representatives.
Less, if you count the senators- 16.667%.
Won’t be happy until it is zero representation. Remember that when you are once again in the minority party-or out of office.

The Utah legislature’s supermajority appointed this very judge to the bench; along with the appeals and Utah Supreme Court. “Partisan” would mean she would lean toward the GOP supermajority.
Instead,in the face of death threats, just called balls& strikes.
Mike-you are destabilizing. Take the L.

Imagine what the world would look like without the Marshall Plan in Place? If 18th century France had decreed no aid to the British colonies? Or not allowed Einstein into our borders?
If the future Lee sees in his Dem countrymen were to happen, fleeing he’d find no mercy in any other country.

Lecturing the Pope AND endorses the wealthiest nation on earth provide $0 aid to those in the most desperate circumstances.
Seems Senator Lee is preparing to reprise his role of Grinch or Scrooge, or both, but without the redemption at the end of the tale. Hoarding wealth is now charitable?

I am a firm believer in apolitical districting, but these two headlines and Utah’s districting last week is a flicker of hope.
If we live thru Trump, may we had a mandate for independent districting for all states.

Why?
Sure does act like a guilty husband who is begging a friend to not rat him out.
What’s he more worried about? Losing MAGA, or losing money?

I think Lee is pointing out that Democrats have the needs of the American people first. And do so consistently.
Interesting to see what he is discussing now the shutdown is over.
Also, no mention of any e-mails.

For an order to be binding it must be legal and moral.
E German soldiers shot and killed people trying to cross the wall into the West, their own government’s Ministry of Justice said it was legal. 30’s Germany had many saying they were just following orders, which were legal. They were executed.

There are some very foul terms for this kind of circle of mutual pleasuring; which I won’t mention.
If the majority party won’t even show up to do their jobs in over 7 weeks; they have failed and should be fired. MAGA is not up to the job-get out of the way.

Actually, a judges only job is to call balls and strikes. It’s part of the checks and balances baked into the constitution. It’s even more important when the legislature is absent and failing to do their constitutional job: write legislation and fund the government.

I’d point out MAGA isn’t conservative or Republican.
They are the toddler in the corner crying about how picked on they are.
(10 years ago, Lee had at least the decency to ask Trump to drop out of the race for President.)
So, behold, The ineffective representative of the state of Utah: Mike Lee.

Very disingenuous,even for Senator Mike Lee;renowned short sighted politician and dubious tweeter.
The question,Mr Lee would be:if indefensible,why?They would say after they were promised a seat at the negotiating table after the last CR, but frozen out afterwards. Minority party has demands,sir.
