Hmmm. Time for the Salt Lake Tribune to publish one of those "side by side" check list charts. One column would contain the features of. non-democratic countries, like Iran, that have theocracies, and another would be what white nationalist theocratic fascists would impose in this country, which is easy because they're out there teaching people in "biblical citizenship" classes what they really want. A third column could list what the USA currently holds true in its founding documents and current laws (with footnotes linking to on-line copies).

Hey Catholics and Mormons? Look to your histories: these people want political power and they don't expect to share it with the likes of you. They will, however, use you to obtain it.

As with all things Republicans do, the hypocrisy is thick, rich and creamy. They love to panic about liberals “indoctrinating” (they adore that scary word) kids with actual facts about diversity, racism and American history. But sending kids to Bible camps and Christian schools where they are told God and Thomas Jefferson want America to have one national religion isn’t indoctrination.

Only if you have the app Covenant Eyes are you able to see his calendar. There are some, um, personal engagements on there.

Why wouldn't Mikey want you to take a peaksy at his calendar?

"Going over to Timmy's for some Fasc Lite Skis"

"Party at Pure Ivory's: Boof the Bibble?"

His calendar is not a public record, because he keeps it in a Transformers notepad tucked behind the toilet tank in stall #3 of the 4th floor east wing men’s room of the capital building. So fuck off Journalists.

Has anyone tried the "if you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't have any problem showing us your calendar."

Surprisingly, this didn't work when Congress tried to get a copy of DeJoy calendar without massive redactions, why do we think that was? Why would a Federal Post Office employee have any need to redact their Federal appointment calendar in '20, an election year no less?

Oh man! I can't wait to see that fucking calendar when this guy finally loses. It'll be popcorn time at Wonkette.

Of course he doesn't have a calender

He's never invited to go anywhere, nor does he ever intend to. He just magically appears at these events, and somehow finds himself on stage addressing the audience

As a reluctant resident of Utah, I know exactly what it means to live in a theocracy.

It ain't good.

So how about setting up a GoFundMe to hire a someone to tail this goober and make a list of all of his speaking engagements? If we're smart we'll get a middle-aged white male to go and record his little diatribes regarding the preordained order of authority given to white males from on high.

I'd hope that it would make his next re-election campaign interesting but it is Utah after all.

Ahhh the old “The cross was already on fire when I got there” defense.

Sadly, with the MAGA crowd it’ll work just fine.

He probably doesn't want anyone to see his weekly KKK meetings or the annual Klan Bake.

Representative "Ken Ivory"? That's a walking parody of a name right there.
