  1. Every day it gets more and more likely that Farting Rudy will be practicing his art in a federal prison soon.  Does that raise questions about cruel and unusual punishments for those unfortunates incarcerated downwind of him?

  2. BLM headquarters moving back to D.C. from Colorado

    The controversial move, made in August 2020, was not well received by BLM employees, the department noted in a news release. It “failed to deliver promised jobs across the West and drove hundreds of people out of the agency,” Interior said. “Of the 328 positions moved out of Washington, D.C., only 41 of the affected people relocated, with three moving to Grand Junction.”
     

    Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., whose district includes Grand Junction, called the decision “partisan” and attacked the state’s Democratic senators, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, for not “standing up” for the state.

    “Bennet and Hickenlooper combined couldn’t find the courage to place a hold on just one nominee” in order to keep the headquarters in Colorado.

    Maybe BoBo can find the courage to take on Michael Bennet next year and show him who’s boss?

    1. I hope the Department of the Interior can regain much of the intellectual capital it lost as a result of the ill-advised fiasco. 

      This will wind up costing the taxpayer millions of dollars for no benefit. Cory Gardner might as well have wiped his ass with it.

    2. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., whose district includes Grand Junction, called the decision “partisan” and attacked the state’s Democratic senators, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, for not “standing up” for the state.

      Sorrty, Bobo. As you surely must know: You can’t eat your sliders and barf ’em too! . . . 

      . . . No way was your buddy, Tina Peters, ever gonna’ be able to return and assist with Mesa election results, what with all them jackbooted BLM spooks and their black helicopters and Chinese surveillance drones sniffing around GJ.

       

  3. I continue to be amazed that the Orange King and his hyperbolic Horde are allowed to foment rebellion with impunity. I just read a Vanity Fair accounting of the vast sums of money the OD and his family have appropriated for themselves, particularly through extended Secret Service protection they neither deserve nor need.

    As we watch the truly unbelievable farce known as “Tina Peters Saves America”, I keep looking for all those “Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush, Republicans to DO something about this. Have you no leaders among you? Are you waiting for…a clear signal of danger? 
    Al Qaeda or QAnon….is there a real difference?

     

      1.  “I think this will be all behind us in a couple of years.”

        Well, those two are certainly behind us and we didn't even need to wait for a couple of years to pass.

      2. https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/09/18/after-spreading-covid-misinformation-pastor-r-loren-sandford-has-died-of-covid

        "Another pastor who downplayed or denied the seriousness of COVID has died from COVID.

        This time it's R. Loren Sandford, a pastor from Denver, Colorado, who spent much of the past 18 months pretending the pandemic wasn't as big a deal as scientists were making it out to be and sowed misinformation about the vaccine. It was clear he hadn't received the shot."

  4. Rudy may have had a bigger crowd at Four Seasons Landscaping? A Toby Keith concert in Kabul? (It’s a possibility that nobody showed up because there was a conspiracy theory floating around that it’s a setup by the FBI).

        1. 241 to 172 ????? . . . 

          How the hell is anyone even supposed to believe that obviously made up and erroneous vote count???

          . . . Moderatus only has twenty fingers and toes!

          (And, between all his adult household Committee members they reportedly only have, . . . umm . . . er . . . huh? . . . well, “a few more than twenty”. . . [“still tbd”] . . . between ’em!?)

        1. Only 34% voted FOR opting out?

          That raises questions about a lawsuit against the Sec of State to force an opt out. They cannot bring a suit and claim that a majority of their party’s governing body voted to opt out albeit by less than 75% since that didn’t happen.

          Can they argue that in the Party of Trump today, the 35% to 40% who are the loudest and most fanatical actually constitute a “majority” in the alternative reality in which they exist?

          Cry havoc and release the kraken!

  5. Behind The Scenes. . .

    Answering all your important questions surrounding this week’s biggest unsolved mysteries:

    “How and why did Tina Peters finally decide now to risk her life to return to Mesa County from the protection of Der Meinkissenbunker?” . . .

     

  6. Probably overlooked this week by all the excitement generated here from Heidi Ganahl’s bigly Rosie’s Diner announcement . . .

    The race to become the first billionaire to build a (tax-deductible) private golf vacation resort on the moon took a giant leap forward this week . . .

    The crew members also had a call with the actor Tom Cruise. An online betting app also announced that Mr. Isaacman placed the first wagers from space.

    On Friday afternoon, the crew members rang a closing bell they brought to orbit for the New York Stock Exchange and later, they presented a 10-minute live update on YouTube as they zoomed around the planet.

    The commercial opening of space is to continue next month when Russia launches an actress and a film director to the International Space Station. They will be shooting scenes for a movie called “The Challenge.” It would be the first full-length fictional movie to be made in space.

    It might not be the last movie, either.

    In May 2020, Jim Bridenstine, then the administrator of NASA, confirmed that the space agency had talked with Mr. Cruise about shooting a film on the space station.

    . . . Wasn’t it Gandhi who once said:  “The greatness of a nation and its progress can be judged by the number of its wealthiest that it blasts into space.” ??
