Even the Turkish government supports Jared.
Polis is Turkish for "Trump Stinks."
Who are you and what have you done with Cornholio?!?!?
He boofed himself into oblivion.
I wonder if he did so at a Proud Boys rally, or in jail.
Twenty minutes. That's how long my ballot sat on my desk before I filled it out, signed the envelope, attached two stamps and brought it to the mailbox. That ties the record for me that was first set in 2008 in terms of enthusiasm for voting.
A concern, though, is how daunting the ballot is to the average voter. Three long pages including seemingly dozens of Amendments, proposals and judicial retention questions.. I think campaigns, like Polis and Crow's, should encourage voters who are intimidated by the ballot to simply search for Democratic candidates to vote for, and leave the other stuff blank. There is nothing more important, this election, than to "vote 'em out" as Willie Nelson sings.
For the amendments just go to The World's Best Review of the Colorado Amendments & Propositions. Clear & short summations of each.
Saw Stapleton in action for the first time on Ch 9's debate last night.
Holy. I had no idea how poorly prepared he is for this kind of gig.
Polis– must be feeling pretty confident to wear a dark suit with light blue tennis shoes. A podiatry issue? Color blind?
Trend setter.
I know several parents who inevitably wear trainers, thinking that will help them keep up with their young children. So that could be an issue, too.
I mean…
Worst Congressional Style Ever? Yeah, Probably
I remember talking to a Congresswoman a couple of years ago and she also questioned Jared's style choices. But she clearly found him to be a quality Congressman on the issues.
When you've got "fuck you" money, you can dress as you goddamn jolly well please. (Or so it appears; I've got no personal experience with having "fuck you" money.)
Stapler doesn’t do extemporaneous very well. He said it himself.
It seems he needs a gay friend…
Jared needs to be "the contestant" on Queer Eye for the Queer Guy.
The Colorado Court of Appeals held today that statutes prohibiting the sale, transfer and possession of "large capacity magazines" do not infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms set forth in Article II, Section 13 of the state constitution.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners v. Hickenlooper, 2018 COA 149, ___ P.3d ___.
The plaintiff will no doubt seek review in the Colorado Supreme Court, which has complete discretion as to whether or not it takes the case. For now, though, suck it Dudley.
Huzzah ….
Fits right in with the Heller decision, which allowed guns "in common use" but doesn't limit restrictions on sales or accessories not needed for common activity.
Was Moddy’s girlfriend counsel of record for Hick?
You betcha! Part of the AG's job is defending the state, its agencies, and its officers/agents in cases like this. Taller Coffman's name appears first among counsel for the defendants, although I'm certain she did precisely 0.00% of the work.
Here is the real kicker. Since this only involves interpretation of the STATE constitution, Dudley and friends cannot eventually petition the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case. They are stuck with this decision or whatever the state Supreme Court issues in the event it accept the case on cert.
Yep, and since the claim preclusion doctrine precludes relitigating all claims that were brought or could have been brought in this case, Dudley's outfit and the other plaintiffs won't be file a brand new lawsuit asserting a Second Amendment claim.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how "big" Rocky Mountain Gun Owners is? I know it's a duly formed Colorado nonprofit corporation and all, but as a practical matter, is RMGO really anything more than Dudley Brown and the braying voices ricocheting around inside his skull?
RMGO isn't that big. Dudley's real cash cow is his national organization
Not political and apropos of nothing. I learned something last night that is so clever I'm telling everyone I know. Ever mark on a plastic surface with a Sharpie and then cuss 'cause you didn't mean to? Go over the marks with a dry erase marker and the Sharpie wipes right off. It turns out the dry erase pen has solvents in it. I saved myself from having to replace my eyeglasses with that trick. Google is your friend.
That's some useful stuff.

Colorado 6, final: Crow 47 (D), Coffman 38 (R, inc) We had Crow+10 in September. Widely considered a "lean Dem" race at this point, and this certainly won't dispel that notion
Didn't Moddy say the following a few days ago?
I think he did.
Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats Got Played Yet Again
Quite the quote by Aung San Suu Kyi. I'd say it is fear that has corrupted her…and she had always presented herself as fearless.
I've discovered another place to view Colorado's ballot. It's a site that emails you a daily rundown of national and international news as well as some quirky stories you don't see elsewhere. I like it a lot. Go here for the sample ballot and then check out the main site. It even provides a printable cheatsheet so you can whip through your ballot after you’ve studied up. https://www.theskimm.com/noexcuses
Whew! We just finished filling out our ballots. Like simultaneously defusing two bombs discovered on the beaches of Normandy (I've cut the red wire! Ok, cutting my red wire, too!)
You get writers cramp just voting against all the Denver tax increas es. There are four sales tax increas es just in Denver, plus all the state tax increases.
Republicans lie. It's what they do best. And it has been working for years.
Paul Krugman asks the question:
