Pear, you might have forgotten this is a state political blog. Although we're talking a lot about federal issues right now you might dust off your Google machine and refresh your memory on which party has effectively been running the legislature since 2004 and sitting in the big chair since 2006. Our message isn't lost: Hillary won Colorado overwhelmingly and Michael Bennet couldn't be beat in a wave year for Republicans. We're doing our job for the Republic.
Mainly I was referring to National Democratic Party. When the DNC Chairman, who himself is far left policy guy is booed, loudly. The question is, is there any room in the Democratic Party for a Democrat the likes of Joe Manchin or Jim Webb? How do you capture that voter, given the extremist media?
Here's a recent WordCloud of the one who is actually governing our country right now:
Upper right gold-colored word: Maybe they meant "conniving," but I'd like to think "knifing" (rather than "kniving") works too.
Maybe "kniving" was given by some of the "morans" from Merka who supported him last November.
That's sooooo 2016!
Gerbils is only interested in rehashing 2016 because, well, he's got nothing to talk about ever since the GOP got all the levers of power, and they've been doing face-plants ever since.
Governor Donuts: "I warned Trump about Flynn"
Somebody be looking for a job in the Pence Administration…
. . . yeah, but if you were McDonalds would you trust that guy to deliver your fries uneaten???
(“Hey, I asked — they told me they would Supersize it, swear to God!” . . . What? No that’s blood. I, I, I, umm, I cut myself shaving while driving over here! . . . Yeah, I know, lot’s of people tell me my blood smells like ketchup — it’s a condition . . .”)
He's taking his cues from Fearless Leader. He can't shut up about the election either.
Nixon at best was a troubled personality. He did leave a strong legacy of pro-environment laws that he signed, like NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) and the Endangered Species Act, to name just two. In less than 5 months, Trump is doing everything possible to undo Nixon's legacy, as he (Trump) is powered by the anti-public lands Utah "congressional mafia."
Utah Congressional mafia? I thought it was all one organization. Guess there are 57 chapters.
My term. Rep. Mia Love isn't always there altho gets heavy pressure from Rep. Rob Bishop to toe his line. But doesn't appear that you follow public lands issues very closely.
I don't think Goldwater knew McCain.
Of course they knew each other
They enjoyed your joke!
You had me at, "I don't think."
Geezuz…
AP: Michael Flynn will invoke Fifth Amendment (via Politico)
Non story.
Really? But when Democrats assert their 5th, it is "newsworthy"? http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-presidential-debate-fact-check/2016/09/trump-gets-it-right-about-clinton-staff-taking-the-fifth-228728
That's what happens when it's any everyday occurrence. Non story.
Just because you say "non-story" does not make it so.
Obviously, it was a story. One story is cited by Arvadonian above
Well, it does open the possibility of the further votes in the committee or in the Senate as a whole to pursue the subpeona. Next illustration of the Republicans choosing party over country.
Cummings: Flynn appears to have lied to security clearance investigators
Hey Pols, you need to promote my diary. Get more clicks to ring the register.
What diary? And why would anyone be interested, other than your best buds Andrew and Moderatus?
Click "Recent Diaries" at the top of the page. Gee, how long have you been here? I’m hurt, I thought you were one of my best buds.
You might want to save the lectures for a time after you've learned to post a picture. Just saying'… (we'll have a tutorial over the beer)
Hey Pugnacious Pear, you should read Pols "How to Write a Post" if you want to get promoted.
It needs to be newsworthy, and relevant to Colorado politics.
The Pear Pity Party about how all lefties are so mean to you and "people of faith" doesn't cut it. I avoided commenting on your diary because I don't want to encourage such nonsense.
BTW, I'm a person of faith…..just not your brand of faith.
And you know my brand?
Your rhetoric points in one direction, but why don't you tell us to which church you belong.? We wouldn't want to misunderstand you…
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian. Sprinkled & dunked.
That sounds more like a Dunkin' Donut than a religion.
There you go again, bruising the fruit.
No, but pretty sure it isn't my brand. Unless you're a closeted ethnically Jewish Episcopal Alien lapsed Pagan Unitarian Universalist, that is.
One way I can tell is that I feel no need at all to tell others what to do with their own sexual organs, minds, or spare time. Other than keeping things school-appropriate, doncha know.
Maybe he thought you were a member of the Pity Party, I'm a Victim Church of Easily Misled Followers like him.
Perhaps I date myself. But I do remember the late and great comedian Flip Wilson, with his routine as Reverend Leroy and the Church of What's Happening Now. Far better than any offerings from the fake TV and radio preachers.
Ask and you shall receive!
Except for Utah, which had the genius idea of giving homeless people homes!!
Say what you will about Mormons, they are practical people. Even though some of Utah's success is due to fiddling the numbers, they are at least getting people out of the streets and also dealing with the root causes of their homelessness.
Much better than Colorado Springs' solution, which involves a bus ticket to anywhere else, or Denver's which involved rounding them up and stealing their property.

I'm not sure "Mansions for winos" is a great political slogan for 2020. But anything has to beat "Stronger together" , so maybe _Dodd has a point.
Gah! Drumpf Commerce Sec Wilbur Ross marvels at how protest-free Saudi Arabia is…"Not a single hint of a protester. Not one guy with a bad placard."
Saudi Arabia executed 47 people in Jan. 2016 following Arab Spring protests and activism from 2011-2014. Protests and marches were outlawed 6 years ago. This poet / activist is still in jail – only 850 lashes to go. State repression could have something to do with the lack of "guys with bad placards". While some of those executed were violent jihadists, others were simply critics of the government.
I'm disgusted, frightened, and angered with how enchanted our Pres and buddies are with brutal authoritarian regimes. Seems they've never met an autocrat they didn't like.
And we're apparently selling weapons to this government so that it can continue to keep its people down.
Yes, but those arms sales mean jobs, jobs, jobs!
Jobs American Socialists won't do.
Perhaps Roger Stone can whisper into TwoScoops™ ear there is something else
that will createcreating new jobs right now in spite of Beauregarde and his BFF Moldy?Actually, the arms industry is heavily unionized.
…and subsidized.
Speaking of autocrats and protesters, Did you catch this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/22/turkey-complains-washington-police-erdogan-protest-brawl
Those must be the Turks that Flynn was a foreign agent for. Their security guys beat up Kurdish protesters, then blamed it on the DC police.
One person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist; and they can switch off in a heartbeat, depending upon which way the money is flowing. Right now McCain wants to "arm the Kurds", and this has been US policy since the Gulf war. The Kurds are doing a great job containing ISIS, so this seems to be good policy.
But if the Trump administration thinks that the Turkish autocrat Erdogan is more simpatico with its vision of How Shit Should Be Run, the Kurds could find themselves without a US ally.
"Buddies with authoritarian regimes". You mean like Obamas friends, Iran, Cuba, Chavez, Putin (flexibly after the election). Don't be afraid, help has come.

Yes, I am avoiding comment about the (apparent) terrorist attack in Manchester. Just can’t.
