Make the Czar Great Again instead of Soviet stuffs. Well, maybe a little Soviet stuffs.
At this point, they are the same cohort. The ex-Soviet leadership had nothing to do with Marx or Lenin. Stalin they could definitely see eye-to-eye with, but communist doctrine was far removed from their realm, as it is far from the Chinese Central Committee. Capitalism without democracy made - and makes - good sense to them. Russian nostalgia for the Czars is just a useful tool, like American nostalgia for an imagined golden age when WASP men ran everything and there was no crime. (Mormons are noted for their fondness for of this vision.)
The only difference is that the Russian Orthodox church leadership hated the Soviets, but has been happy to get into bed with their successors in exchange for getting the churches back and having a slice of the pie.
Bob Dole got smacked down in 1996 because his handlers wouldn't let him be Bob Dole. Also too because Bill Clinton, for all his flaws, was the superior candidate.
I would have asked Mike Lee what he was doing golfing with trump without golf clubs. And follow up with what are you and trump hiding from the American people.
Right, youse conjugated the noun "to be". I am, you are, it is, we are, youse is, they are.
I sent McMullin some $. It nearly made me throw up but Mike Lee needs to be stomped to the curb.
Also, is Utahns really what the people of Utah are called? That state is just plain weird.

How would the rest of us be able to tell which part was the humor section?
In this case, he probably got some of each kind.
Faze vs. phase Voice-to-text is runing us.
That was a late recognition that trump was aiti-immigrant, something Mormons have their own ideas on. They are very internationalist.
My Mormon nieces were organizers of that little prairie fire, although I have not learned where they are on Lee/McMullin.
Mormons consider themselves followers of Jesus, so Christians. Evangeilcals don't accept that Catholics are Christians either.
Interesting and accurae distinctions but distinctions without a difference either way.

Utah: great geography; utterly strange.

Gotta love Charles Pierce's name for him: "Mike Lee, konztitooshunal skolar."
Don’t get me all excited…
We need to stop telling our children that anyone can be a member of Congress.
There’s no chance in hell that he’d caucus with Moscow Mitch.
