This treasonous, flip-flopping coward needs to be investigated — STAT!
Nice try at a mis-direction, Andrew, but it doesn't work. Jason Chaffetz is part of the Utah congressional mafia, along with Rob Bishop and Chris Stewart, who want to turn our public lands over to the states and then to big money special interests.
Wow. Hadn't seen that one. Powerful stuff.
and how….damn.
Tough Noogies, AC. All the unnecessary drama over FBI Director Comey's letter to Congress 10 days ago was for naught. After reviewing 650,000 emails, the FBI found exactly diddly-squat.

Someone get the smelling salts for Fluffy & Co.
heh,heh,heh…..
Be sure not to miss the Election Eve of Prayer with Franklin Graham on Monday night as Christians gather round the fire to ask God to deliver the groin-grabber, adulterer and tax-evader to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I'll spend my time banking for Hillary. Can't wait for Sunday services to get a first-hand account of how our electorate has set the stage for the end times. Every election since (and including) 2008 our priest has led the parish in fervent prayer to deliver us from the clutches of Democrats. So God delivered to us Obama in '08, '12 and will deliver Hillary in '16. Perhaps God(dess) is giving them the answer to their prayers they don't want to hear?
If your priest mentions Hillary by name and says don't vote for her, you could gently point out that he just violated IRS regulations for .501(c)3 non-profits and his church's tax exempt status could be in jeopardy.
He's very careful that way but the message comes through loud and clear. One is never confused who/which party he's talking about.
So, would getting video footage of said Priest or minister promoting politics during a church service be enough to turn them in for violating their tax-exempt status?
I doubt it. They're a business. I'd offer that certain activities like Catholic Charities does a lot of good work. I've stopped contributing to weekly collections and give directly to orgs like CC and Catholics for Climate Change. That's my protest.
Remember to turn your clocks back an hour this evening or you’ll be an hour early for church tomorrow (you know who you are)
Chaffetz is one I suspect may, as is the Republican wont, go just that much too far in his zealous
per, I mean, prosecution of President H. Clinton and come to his own bad end.It's going to take a huge smudge pot to clean up the cesspool of hate left in the wake of the Drumpf campaign. I'm more convinced every day this woman is up to the task. This is a great video taking us in to the home stretch…
Ahhh, you see, it all begins to make sense now!
And yes, yes it was, is, and always has been a bullshit story, just like Benghazi, indictments, grand juries, Whitewater, Vince Foster, blah, ba-blah, ba-blah, right-wing ad nauseum. Vote for Hillary, and do so proudly and enthusiastically!

I'm off for another day of DEM GOTV, but may stop in later long enough to bang a few slack-jawed GOP troll heads together like empty coconuts. Get out that effing vote, CO Dems!
DP:
The Dem GOTV is not working.
Yesterday not only did more Republican ballots get counted (53,018), now Dems (45,402) are getting beat out by Unaffiliated (45,992).
It is ugly for Hillary out there. Most people don't want a criminal as President.
Then I guess they won't be voting for a tax-evader like Trump.
And let's not forget the sexual assaults. How many are they up to now?
Sixteen and counting, as of a week ago. That's actual unwanted physical contact. Scummy sexist behavior is also Trump's norm. I added Jessica Drake, who related a story of not taking no for an answer, trying to buy sex.
And…that's not counting the allegation of child rape, which the alleged victim just withdrew, citing threats to her life.
In the nightmare scenario of a Trump presidency, no one would let their daughters be interns, or alone with him, at all.
I would limit it to the non-consensual physical contact which would include the child rape case. If you try to include all the other disgusting behavior, it gets too complicate to keep track.
Frank, 16 is the number of non-consensual physical assaults where Trump's victims have come forward. If you include all the other disgusting behavior, even just what's documented, there's probably no end in sight.
Good point. Those are the ones who have come forward. It's like the tip of the iceberg. There may still be 90% we haven't seen yet.
AC,
What makes you think that the Dimocrat GOTV effort does not try to get unaffiliateds to vote? Their database "knows" how every potential voter will vote. They contact everyone who will vote for Crooked Hillary.
He thinks the unaffiliateds are all going for Drumpf….?
Perhaps he thinks "unaffiliateds" is a political party…?
He also ignores the fact that some *(perhaps even many) Republican women are taking Barbara Bush's advice – as opposed to Laura Waters Woods and Clarice Navarro's – and refusing to vote for the Groper.
Dave:
Dems are not voting in the numbers they need, post the Comey announcement. Do you really think the fact that Dems not only trail the Republicans but also the Unaffiliated yesterday is a sign of Dem strength?
If so, I expect you will truly surprised on Wednesday morning.
Ac, have you seen the Latino vote in florida and nevada. Your racist pig candidate may give the white house to the democrats for a generation.
And the SCOTUS.
More good news for you, AC…
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-campaign.html?_r=0
Non-Cuban Latinos, and Florida has tons of them, skewed Dem even before Trump’s campaign of the bigots by the bigots and for the bigots. And he’s not going to get as much of the Cuban vote as former Republicans have either.
When our Librarian is done chewing on that, he and his bff can choke on this Gallup poll.
Corrupt Donald may want to build a wall on our southern border to keep out illegal Hispanics. But he can't do a damn thing about Puerto Ricans migrating to Florida in search of better opportunities, and voting Democratic. After all, Puerto Ricans are already US citizens.
The only surprise on Wednesday will be if shamed Republicans don't admit that it was a mistake believing that they could let a snake oil salesman like Trump represent their once-respectable party.
Trump is only out for himself, preying on gullible (and cynical) voters who are willing to swallow his miracle cure empty promises. If somehow he manages to get elected he would immediately start denying he ever made any promises at all. Each day would bring a radical revision of any past positions or "policies" he might have "believed in" the day before.
Even Wall Street is afraid of the damage he'll wreak. Do you really think you're better off with a maniac like Trump?
The only thing the GOP has holding the party together is their hatred of all things Clinton. It really must suck to be you.
The only thing the GOP has holding the party together is their hatred of all things Clinton
Well at least they found something to fill the void that will be left after January 20 when they no longer have their hatred of all things Obama to hold them together.
Of course, Trump isn't why the GOP is no longer respectable. The GOP throwing away their respectability hand over fist to pander to bottom dwellers for decades is why Trump is now a perfect fit as their 21st century standard bearer.
Trump is the 21st century GOP. Trumpians, racist, bigoted, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, misogynist, ignorant, seething with hatred and resentment, seeing conspiracies against themselves everywhere they look, are the 21st century GOP base.
None of this is an anomaly.
AC,
I will be here on Wednesday and I expect you to be here also.
I also expect you to reveal your real name as I have.
,dave
His real name is Suckass Shillboy.
Andrew: since you refer to Hillary as a criminal, please share with us the crimes for which she has been indicted, tried, and convicted? Oops, my bad; and too bad for you. There aren't any.
Regards, C.H.B.
(proud to be a RAT: Republican Against Trump)
CHB
She is a criminal.
She has not yet been indicted, tried or found guilty.
She may well be pardoned, but she is still a criminal.
Ummm…. that's not the way it works under our constitution. You can say that you think she's a criminal, you can state it as your opinion but when you state it as established fact it's a lie. Period. Every single time you, Trump or anyone else says it.
The Constitution? You mean that worthless piece of paper that Republicans like to use for toilet paper — that Constitution?
AC
You are a lying sack of shit.
The sack may be paper or it may be burlap,
But paper or burlap, you are still a lying sack of shit.
Have a shitty day.
Sorry, Andrew. In this country, one is innocent until proven guilty, despite what you and Corrupt Donald say about Hillary.
Gee, AC. I guess you forgot to include a link to your evidence that Dems aren't voting in sufficient numbers. Unless you're just regurgitating a talking point? As usual?
Looks like the Secretary of State missed that ballot count "fact." According to the database, 7k +/- Dems advantage at the end of the day Thursday, same thing on Friday.
Andrew — a bit more cherry picking from you. Who knew the trees were still in season?
According to Magellan Strategies (a Republican founded data firm), at this time in 2012 the percentage of early voting by party was 36.8% Republican, 34.9% Democrat and 27.3% unaffiliated. As you may remember, the 2012 results were: Obama 1,323,102 Romney 1,185,243
As of the last Sec of State update, processed by Magellan Strategies: "The ballots returned by party now stands at 597,567 for Democrats, 597,194 for Republicans and 474,733 for unaffiliated voters…. The percentage of ballot returned by party is 35.3% Republican, 35.3% Democrat and 28% unaffiliated."
That means Republican down 1.5%, Dems up 0.4%, and unaffiliated up 0.7%. Would you care to argue Republican voters are more loyal to Trump than Romney? Or Democrats and Unaffiliated are more likely to vote for Trump than Romney?
Groups under-represented in the balloting so far (compared to the final 2012 vote): ages 18-34, 35-44, 45-54. Hmm, wonder how those votes will break when they get to the polls?
Female voters are down slightly.
Those who voted once or twice out of the last 4 general elections.
Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Pueblo and Weld counties are still below their proportion of the 2012 vote, while Broomfield, Douglas and El Paso counties are over-represented.
In sum – where do you specifically see Trump doing so much better than Romney that he would win Colorado?
Wrong place
You just keep telling yourself that, AC.
Actually, I think last night's activity in Nevada is a pretty good indication that Democratic turnout operations are working well. In fact, I think it's time for a prediction. Secretary Clinton will win all swing states except Ohio and Iowa (in other words, Clinton will carry NH, NC, VA, FL, PA, MI, WI, CO, NV, NM). She will carry all of the states that have generally voted Democratic during the past six or eight Presidential elections and I predict that she will carry one state that was expected to vote for the GOP (possibly AK, AZ, or TX). She will be elected with well over 300 electoral votes.
Lots of gateway issues this morning….hackers still trying to shut you down?
or was the system trying to puke up all the Andrew Carnegie it had to ingest earlier?
Me, too. I think I got four of them before it let me in.
Putin 🙂
More good news for Pee Pee, Fluffy, and the PissAnt..
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-n-c-counties-must-restore-voters-illegally-purged-from-rolls/
It's not working, fellas…
AC can suck on this good news too 🙂
Looks like the GOP strategy of relying on old, angry white men with one foot in the grave isn't going to work this year!
Another perceptive summary of why AC, Moddy and anyone else thinking a President Trump is a good idea have their head thoroughly jammed up their ass:
The Clinton ground game is quietly building a majority in Iowa.
Interesting numbers in this poll. Overall, 44 -43 Clinton in 4 way race including likely voters and those that have voted. But Trump gets 47% to Hillary's 37% among the 74% that haven't voted yet. So that means in this poll, Hillary leads 2 to 1 among early voters. Apparently in Iowa election day voting usually favors Republicans, but I would rather have the votes in the bank rather than plying catch up.
Are you a Democrat? Do you want to feel better?
Read this http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2016/11/data-wars-trump-bought-battery-powered-toy-car-for-toddlers-hillary-runs-up-engined-race-car-and-a-t.html
“The data wars will contribute 4% to Hillary’s victory margin on November 8.”
If Obama had a son he would spew profanity like Jay-Z.
If Powerless Pair had a brain, he would…oh, forget it. Let's not speculate about impossible things
Powerful really should do some research. Profanity? I think it was the late SCOTUS Justice Potter Stewart who said something like "one man's profanity is another man's lyric."
Powerless, are you suggesting Obama is Drumpf's father?
And you say this because? Never mind, Pee Pee. We know why.
Quinnipiac today has Hillary up 5 points in Ohio! She also leads in North Carolina and Florida. Winning even one of these keeps the Pussy Grabber out of office and headed to his fraud trial.
Psychologists are already deconstructing Trump's mental illness:
As Moddy and AC have shown, Trump's psychosis is contagious.
Andrew Carnegie,
I always realized you were conservative, but didn't fully understand you lack principles.
There is one Trump I do feel a little sorry for….
That would be Melania. When she gave up the life of a model to be the third trophy wife for what we then took to be an egotistical and eccentric millionaire, no one ever told her she had THIS in her future.
She probably figured she would simply have to spend a lot of time standing next to him at public events, saying very little (least she run the risk of taking some of the attention off of him) but standing and looking at him in awe.
She probably figured there would be a lot of time for travel and shopping (definitely the benefits of marrying him) and the occasional performance of her conjugal duties (definitely the cost of marrying him).
Nothing prepared her for THIS. And let's face it – it takes a certain type of person to be a political spouse. And that it not a partisan point. Whether we're talking about Nancy Reagan or Hillary Clinton, they each got in on the ground floor and knew exactly what they were getting into when they married their husbands. (As anyone who's watched House of Cards knows, I myself would be nothing without my delightful cold-blood, manipulative Claire by my side.)
SNL cold open: Kate McKinnon goes all Lucy Ricardo while Alec Baldwin smooches Putin, the FBI, and the KKK. Then the actors break character, and….
On The Enlightenment of a Tea Party Journalist
Looks like becoming the Editor of the Denver Post may have finally opened Chuck Plunkett's eyes to reality.
Yet out of the other side of his mouth he laments the hounds of hell being unleashed without the fracking industry, such paragons of virtue they are.
Voting for Donald Trump — what could go wrong?
Heard on This Week: “When you don't like a candidate, he can still win, but when a candidate doesn't like you, he's in trouble"
Hey, wait a minute! I thought condos weren't getting built because we held builders responsible when they built crap homes…
Ultra-low construction unemployment a drag on state economy
Just like "the loan sharks will leave the state if we institute payday lender reform"?
Hidden in that article is the main reason construction workers aren't sticking around in Colorado: There's no affordable housing available.
Construction companies are razing ranch houses in Glendale, and putting up mega-mansions, they are making high rise office buildings in downtown Denver, and cookie-cutter subdivisions everywhere.
In Denver, even the sleazy motels on Colfax have doubled their rates. There is nowhere that a person making less than $20 an hour full time can stay.
Donald Trump wants to finish his campaign the same way he started it — UGLY:
Small earthquake this morning in the Kersey area east of Greeley. The 3.1 magnitude quake was felt by hundreds, reported by dozens. Earthquakes are related to the injection of liquid waste from fracking into the fractured zone under the earth.
