  1. Joe Biden said he wrote the 3.5 trillion, spending bill, it was his bill. I’m sure glad he wrote in 3 billion for tree equity. The question is, will plants feel disenfranchised?

    1. Woah, Pear. Better step away from the ivermectin. Stamp twice if you disagree.

      barnes, better get out here and make the spam diaries go away and tell us something irrelevant to commemorate.

    2. Answering, again, the question: . . .

      . . . “What’s the second thought that comes into the minds of old men desperate for attention, first thing in the wee a.m.?” . . .

      1. JID, I was referring to KBB's continued insistence, in talk radio shows like Boyle's (where she appears regularly) that the CO GOP should "look to the future" and not talk about Trump's loss in 2020.  Boyles tries to pin her on it over and over ("Was the election stolen?") and she just slithers away.  As it turns out, she presided over a group that was determined to promulgate the Big Lie, and flood the courts with baseless lawsuits.  Opportunist or liar?  Maybe just a typical Colorado Republican, moon-walking in a skirt and lying with every breath.

        Oddly, I think her lieutenant Priscilla Rahn (vice chair) is better spoken and certainly has less stinky laundry to content with.  Perhaps she will step in when KBB resigns.  

          1. Surprisingly (since Boyles still holds closely the birther crap), he thinks the Big Lie is indeed a Big Lie, and will be the death knell for the CO GOP.  He claims he wants CO to go back to being purple, by "finding another Ronald Reagan" for its bench.  There are tons of holes in *that* fine theory, but at least Boyles is urging all GOP candidates to admit that Trump lost, fair and square.  

              1. Should Boyles be pilloried (for whatever of his many transgressions, past or present) it’s long, long overdue and well deserved . . .

                . . . you can put me down as a “yes” for donations of overripe tomatoes and vegetables. 

                1. I mean, I'm down to pillory Boyles whenever. 

                  But speaking of Denver area conservative talk radio, I landed on 93.7 "Freedom" during my lunch break today. 

                  It was the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. Just by the names, you kind of know where they'll land on the Big Lie, vaccinations, etc. But their main point over the lunch hour was that people are suppressing conservative's free speech.

                  That's right – the conservative Iheart talk radio show with all the sponsors in a sea of other pablum classic rock and Christian stations is complaining that conservative speech is being suppressed. Buck and Clay also managed to land some hits at the Facebook whistleblower, and throw in some QAnon references about Bill Maher being "redpilled", whatever that means. 

                  1. You piqued my curiosity, kwtree so I went a-googling: The terms “red pill” and “blue pill” refer to a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in contented ignorance with the blue pill. The terms refer to a scene in the 1999 film The Matrix. Wikipedia

  2. Former Fort Collins City Councilmember Gino Campana files for US Senate Run:

    The owner of Bellisimo development company, which built the Artisan Village at Jessup Farm, Bucking Horse subdivision and Pateros Creek neighborhood on Wood Street, Campana, 51, has long been active in Republican politics and an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump. 

    A month before he left office, Trump nominated Campana to become chairman of the Public Buildings Reform Board, an independent, nonpartisan board that looks at reducing the federal government’s real estate holdings as a cost-saving measure.

    So it’s Trumper vs. Trumper (vs. Trumper?) in the US Senate Race. Although I’m not sure being a City Councilmember qualifies you in any way for the US Senate. Campana is apparently rich, though, so there’s that (someone should probably look at whether he enriched himself or any of his buddies while on that “nonpartisan board”). Do note that this may be a factor in Trump’s endorsement picks.

  3. A bit of good news about vaccine mandates. Denver Post reports:

    Out of UCHealth’s 26,500 employees statewide, 119 — or less than 0.5% of the system’s workforce — did not get a COVID-19 vaccine or receive one of the exemptions, spokesman Dan Weaver said in an email.

    “Any of those leaving UCHealth employment are welcome — and encouraged — to re-apply for their positions should they decide to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and wish to return,” Weaver said in a statement.

    The vaccine mandate has actually improved staffing levels, Weaver said in the statement, since fewer employees are testing positive for the virus.
