@RedLineReportt @StandUpForFact Maybe at the outhouse. And it could be a happy meal toy, not a statue. Maybe a nice bobble head toy.

@DarrigoMelanie I thought Gavin Newsom solved all the homelessness in CA. Maybe start there and work your way out while Trump is protecting America. Peace through strength.

@sambambamz @LDS_Dems You definitely are not a democrat when you get hung up on the details and speak the truth…

It’s about to become a felony in Idaho for a trans person to use the restroom.
State prison for using the restroom. Let that sink in. These people have no limits.

@UtahDemocrats @SenMikeLee Kind reminds me of the transgender movement you are in love with…
The real goal is to destabilize and redefine the family.
Or, abortion. You have this huge desire to normalize the murder if innocent babies in the name of ‘rights’.
Your hypocrisy on issues is staggering.

Less than 70 illegal voters have participated in federal elections in the last 40 years, yet Utah Senator @SenMikeLee continues to waste taxpayer money on a problem that effects less than .0001% of the vote.
The SAVE Act isn't about voter ID - it's about kicking millions of American citizens off of voter rolls and making re-registering a bureaucratic nightmare.

@JmanSLC @Eternal_Saints_ You’re a clown. 🤡
If we want to win as a country, we need to elect winners, no the 3rd best by consensus. Stupid philosophy. Stupid outcome.
English

@Eternal_Saints_ The convention and primary system is broken. We should be going to a ranked choice voting system. Stop having extemeists on both sides hijack our candidates.

Blake Moore Fields Tough Questions from Convention Delegates
At a Saturday cottage meeting in North Ogden, Rep. Blake Moore spent nearly two hours fielding direct, and at times confrontational, questions from convention delegates, with exchanges that repeatedly returned to trust, process, and political consequence.
The discussion opened with Utah’s Proposition 4, where Moore faced some of the sharpest pushback of the afternoon.
One delegate tied Moore’s past support directly to current outcomes: “Do you regret, in any way, leading this charge for Prop 4?”
Another was more blunt about the consequences: “If you lose your seat over this… it will be because this resulted in communists… sitting in Congress. This is the direct result.”
Moore did not retreat from his original position, but drew a distinction between principle and outcome.
“I supported Prop 4 in 2018… but I disagree with the way the judge handled it,” he said.
He returned repeatedly to the same point about the courts: “The judge does not have constitutional authority to choose the map… she should have given it back… over and over again.”
At another moment, he sharpened the claim: “I believe that was unconstitutional.”
Delegates continued to press the tension between intent and result. “Your principle… this is the consequence of this principle,” one said.
Moore answered by widening the frame beyond Utah.
“I have to look at things in a nationwide perspective,” he said, warning that if states escalate partisan redistricting, “we will be toast.”
He described his position as rooted in consistency: “I cannot be a person that says I want a commission… in California… but say I don’t want any of that in a red state.”
The exchange did not settle the issue. It clarified the divide between delegates focused on local consequence and a congressman arguing from national strategy and process.
The tension carried into a dispute over signature gathering and the convention system itself.
One delegate asked directly: “Are you willing, right now, today, to declare that you’re done gathering signatures… and you’re going to compete… in the convention?”
Moore’s answer was immediate and unambiguous.
“I am going to compete for my spot in the convention, but I will continue to collect signatures.”
He framed the decision as a response to experience. “I have seen too many people lie about me… I have both options to be able to get on the ballot.”
When pressed on reforms to eliminate paid signature gathering, Moore pointed to practical limits: “I don’t know how I could be a volunteer effort… I am in Washington, D.C., 70% of the time.”
A delegate responded that signatures “disenfranchise us,” reflecting broader frustration with a system that allows candidates to bypass the convention.
The discussion then turned to the SAVE Act and its potential impact on voters.
One delegate warned: “We have just disenfranchised 40 to 50 percent of the population… It is a total disregard to women.”
Another described a specific case: “She’s 75 years old… she doesn’t have her birth certificate anymore… and under this, she will become disenfranchised.”
Moore acknowledged the concern in practical terms.
“I cannot say it’s not going to be more additional work,” he said.
He described the kinds of barriers that could arise, including documentation and even basic logistics: “Our home printers never work… there’s potential [a voter] just forgot to do it.”
But he maintained support for the bill’s structure, adding that the Senate would need to refine implementation.
The most sustained exchange came over surveillance and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
A delegate challenged Moore’s vote directly: “You voted against… requiring a warrant for collecting data on Americans… Why?”
Moore anchored his response in national security authority.
“With every fiber of my being, we do not need a warrant requirement on the database.”
He argued that requiring a warrant too early would prevent identifying threats: “If there’s a warrant requirement… we are blind.”
Delegates countered with constitutional concerns, citing protections against unreasonable searches. Moore responded that the data in question was “legally collected” and that courts had not treated such queries as violations.
The exchange remained unresolved, with both sides arguing from fundamentally different interpretations of risk and authority.
The meeting closed with questions about executive power and the role of Congress.
One attendee voiced broader concern: “I’m scared to death what’s going on… Trump has violated the purse… only Congress can declare war… I want my party back.”
Moore pointed to internal resistance within Congress. “The vast majority of us… said that is not the direction we’re going to go,” he said, referencing efforts to resist calls for impeachment of a judge.
But he also emphasized structural limits, describing the difficulty of reclaiming authority once delegated.
Throughout the meeting, Moore returned to a consistent defense of his approach: taking difficult votes and explaining them directly.
Delegates continued to test that claim across issue after issue, often tying principle to consequence and pressing for clearer lines.
By the end of the session, the pattern was clear. Delegates asked questions rooted in outcomes they could see and feel. Moore answered from process, constraint, and a broader field of view. The distance between those frames was not closed in the room, and it is likely to follow both sides into the convention.

@SenAdamSchiff How much are we chipping in for all the welfare fraud in just California?

@nonwokemillen @data_republican @Sassafrass_84 I love the funny. It’s the personal attacks I don’t like. That doesn’t need to be part of the political discourse an it pushes a lot of people away from his amazing accomplishments.

@JoeJUtah @data_republican @Sassafrass_84 Yeah he's harsh but I voted for a strong man not a soy boy. But I understand not loving his rhetoric. A lot of time he is funny though

It's 11 in the morning, and so far, I have been called a stupid b*tch, a wh*re, and a c*nt. Was told to suck more c*ck.
Is it me, or are people becoming more unhinged as they go unchecked online?
It amazes me how comfortable people are being absolutely vile and horrible to others just because they dont agree with their political views.
Civil discourse is dead.

@LauraLoomer @WarlordDilley @Ghostofcynthia They obviously didn’t include the neighbors dogs in the poll. They hate you. They hate you because you act like a king. You care about your dogs. You actively try to improve their lives. You do your best to ensure they are not harmed today or down the road. They are jealous.

@WarlordDilley @Ghostofcynthia 😭😅 My 4 Dogs took a poll today and they said I’m the best person in the world.

@wndyW1LL0w 1. I want my kids to know Jesus is THE GIFT. There’s no way to teach that enough or teach it wrong.
2. I want my kids to be active and happy. I hope that makes them better parents/spouses someday. Hello egg hunts.
3. Pres. Monson “the tomb was empty.” Eggs required.

@data_republican @Sassafrass_84 I love Trump’s policies. I admire his negotiation skills. I don’t admire his personal attacks. I think he is creating a lot of this problem. But, I will take mean tweets and good policy vs the decorum of the senate.
English

@Sassafrass_84 I have similar problems. They can't just state that they disagree and give a coherent reason. They just call names. It's so weird. I truly wonder what they are like in person.
