  • Phil Lyman's dumb lawsuit gets tossed by the Utah Supreme Court. Yet another loss for MAGA.

      Lyman's twitter feed is wild. Guy is a loon, who also likes to retweet lots of fellow loons.

      I'm curious to see how much traction his write in push gets.

        Bunch of crazies responding to that tweet, too.

          I am going to go way out on a limb here and predict that his write-in campaign fails.

            He might get more votes than Super Del's prior governor campaign.

            • LOL SuperDell! I haven't heard that name in a long time.

              On a whim I decided to see if I could find out what Dell Schanze is up to these days. Facebook search listed to Dell Schanzes - one who works at Flat Top Global and went to Cornell University, and one who lives in Makati Manila. I didn't think Dell Schanze would have legitimately went to Cornell but, what the heck, I clicked on the first entry and, it's definitely our old friend SuperDell: https://www.facebook.com/SUPERDELL.SCHANZE

              There are several posts of the likes you would expect from SuperDell on his Facebook page. It says he works at Flat Top Global and I decided to look that up: https://flattopglobal.com/

              I guess he runs a paragliding/paramotoring training school for a living. He hasn't lost his classic chutzpah:

              To learn every detail of glider control takes the best instructor who knows and teaches them along with massive hours of practice. Dell Schanze is unquestionably the best pilot and instructor in the world.
              So then I decided to click on the Makati Manila guy and I'm pretty sure it's the same guy: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091807912872

              The two Dell Schanze Facebook profiles have overlapping friends and in the comments section of the first SuperDell profile he states that he is giving lessons in the Philippines as well. Maybe some of our board members who frequent the Philippines can keep an eye out for the famous SuperDell!

                I check on our good friend every once in awhile. He got divorced and then I think he got a mail order bride. I'm not surprised that he has moved to the Philippines.

                I think there is a thread here dedicated to him

                • Well, Brian King may have just secured by vote for Spencer Cox. What a stupid stupid ad. Taking an endorsement from Phil Lyman is really stupid.

                      Like I've shared earlier, I'm frustrated with Cox's tilt right, but screw this Brian King guy. Lyman is toxic. I'm not voting for King for sure. Lyman's endorsement does the opposite for me.

                      • Good article on Governor Cox's decision to endorse Trump.


                        We sat across from each other in his study, adorned with paintings of desert landscapes and a bullhorn hat rack that originally belonged to Theodore Roosevelt. Cox, wearing a slim-cut suit and socks with cartoon pictures of Abraham Lincoln, leaned forward as he explained how supporting Trump was a way of practicing what he preached.

                        “When we talk about disagreeing better and the work of depolarization, there’s this weird thing that happens to people,” Cox told me. “You start to criticize the people who are polarizing us … and then they become your enemies.” If you’re not careful, he said, you risk becoming a mirror image of the thing you’re working to defeat.

                        “That ‘Love your enemies’ stuff—it sucks. I hate it. I wish Jesus had never said that,” Cox told me. But if he was serious about injecting decency and compassion back into politics, he explained, he needed to find a way to work with his political enemies. And within his own party, at least, he could think of few figures who qualified as enemies more than Trump. “To me, this is kind of the ultimate test.”

                        Surely, I told him, there was a way to show Christian love to Trump and his supporters without endorsing the man for president. I pointed to the long list of things Trump has done and said that Cox has found abhorrent, and Cox insisted he still found all the same things abhorrent. He also made clear that he’s not among those claiming that Trump found God after his near-death experience: “I’m not an idiot. The guy’s 78. He’s probably not changing.”

                        But he believed that even if Trump’s core character is fixed, the former president might modulate his behavior in response to positive reinforcement rather than scolding. From Cox’s perch in late July, with Trump leading every major poll and the Democratic Party in chaos, the prospect of a Reagan-style landslide looked within reach. Cox said he wanted to be a good influence on the next president. “Even if it’s the smallest, tiniest possible influence over the next four years to move things in a better direction, it’s worth taking, even at great personal risk or harm,” he said.

                        I noted that many Republicans before him had attempted this strategy—ingratiating themselves to Trump so that they could steer his presidency. The results had generally ranged from ineffective to catastrophic. Cox insisted this was different. “All those people wanted something—they wanted to be closer to power, they wanted a Cabinet position,” he told me. “I don’t want any of that stuff at all. I’m not trying to get into his orbit.”

                        ...

                        At one point, I asked Cox what his wife, Abby, made of his decision to vote for the former president. She has made little secret of her distaste for Trump; earlier this year she endorsed Nikki Haley for president (while her husband remained officially neutral in the GOP primary). Cox spoke carefully. “We have a very close relationship,” he told me. “This wasn’t her favorite idea—to put it mildly. And still isn’t.”

                        • Very interesting theory. Seems genuine, but naive.

                            Yes, genuine, naive, and mistaken. He should listen to his wife.

                            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              Sounds like something his wife would say.
