The governor wants to name his cabinet members Commissioners.
🙄
The democrats in the Ut Leg are too docile. And I’m not talking about being more like Nate.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Well the Utah AG’s office (which supervises the county attorney!) is conflicted out of any investigation SINCE THE AG IS A SPONSOR THE INITIATIVE.
Idiot.
Oh wait - the Utah AG’s office supervises the county clerk. How convenient.

Look how they get out and immediately draw their weapons. Nice job Republicans.
The GOP did this.

Our government invaded another country on the basis that “you cannot have the largest energy reserves [in] the world under the control of adversaries.”
Wut.
We are the bad guys.
Too bad we don’t have one, with America’s GOP.

Not surprised our first felon president violates international and domestic law by invading a sovereign country for its oil.
I am surprised at the lack of action by Congress who have shirked their duties and handed over their power.
Both parties are feckless.
Vote. Them. All. Out.
So Trump just started WWIII in Venezuela; the UTGOP supermajority in the Leg and SLCo Council enabled ICE to break up families during the holidays.
It’s election filing week in Utah. Time to start our own revolution. You tired of the authoritarian gvmt?
RUN FOR OFFICE.
VOTE THEM OUT.

Foolproof legislation? Can’t wait.
