Now, THAT'S funny.

YEKATERINGBURG, Russia - This provincial Russian city, about 1,000 miles east of Moscow, is about as unlikely a place as any to find the leader of one of the more unlikely political causes to arise in opposition to President Trump. But Louis J. Marinelli, the 30-year-old English teacher who is the president of the Yes California movement, which seeks independence for the state, has decided to call it home.
. . .
Now with renewed attention on the movement, Mr. Marinelli is under scrutiny for living in a country that many in the United States see as an adversarial power.
. . .
And back in California, he is on the defensive for accepting travel expenses and office space from a Kremlin-linked nationalist group.
