Something to be thankful for: Mary Peltola beat Sarah Palin in the Alaska at-large House District ranked-choice election. Huzzah! Let the Grizz Mom fade into merciful obscurity. Peltola will be the first Native person to represent Alaska in the House.
And let us be thankful that Mary Peltola increased her percentage margin.
Special election –
General election –
Happy Thanksgiving! Best wishes to all.
Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo.
Et tu, amica.🙂
I am thankful to have escaped my libertarian blindness to reality. Warm greetings from the San de Cristos on Thanksgiving Day. We almost got boobert and in 24 months the long painful wasteful time with her will be over.
Happy Turkey Day from the Western Slope, where we look forward to boobert in our rear view mirror.
Hope you don't get too tired of "are we there yet?" though!
LOL
Happy turkey day from the East Coast. Still a Colorado gal and remembering all the great Thanksgiving Days back there. Including standing in a couple feet of snow smoking ducks, geese, and turkeys for T'Day.
Happy Thanksgiving all. All three of my daughters are home for the holiday which makes it wonderful!
Oh, and latest post – Success – Now we Need to Adjust
But didn't you say Dems had "worthless messaging", leading up to the election? Perhaps part of our "adjustment" for pundits on our side, should be holding off on such dispirited finger-shaking until the results are known.
How we Democrats Blew an Easy Lay-Up – by David thielen (substack.com)
As I've said several times since then, including in this recent post – I was wrong.
And you'll note in my post I do not attempt to say I can figure out what worked. I'm aware of (most of) my limitations.
CREW mentions Boebert's rank among the Trumpers.
Hope someone is able to take the time to go through the Boebert FEC filings to demonstrate Boebert's ROI from the trips to see Trump.
"…….Boebert's ROI from the trips to see Trump."
Perhaps that could also read "and her constituents' ROI…."
Narcissim Radicalism Maelstrom. Elon Musk has opened twitter up to all the far-right fraudsters.
There is an excellent explanation about Musk from Josh Marshall. He explains a lot of the coded language that I didn't understand.
Colorado is the basis for a “REPUBLICANS ‘R’ REVOLTING” column in the WAPO.
You already know the content — Republicans lost bigly and Boebert barely squeaked through.
But the headline, the writer, and the conclusion of the WAPO column struck me as interesting:
"new ideas and new approaches for 2024"
One way to find out quickly if this might indeed happen is to check introduced bills at the Legislature in 2023. If there is yet another "ban abortion, pro-life" bill introduced, then those "new ideas" and "new approaches" likely won't happen. Same if there's another bill to expand gun rights.
I've got a nickel that says we see both of those types of bills introduced!
Fat Donnie from Queens has a Ye problem…(pot, meet kettle)
Donald Trump Calls Kanye West a ‘Seriously Troubled Man’ After Mar-a-Lago Dinner
Colorado Republicans have a new idea or new approach?
To paraphrase Churchill, if they tripped across either one they'd pick themselves up and carry on as though nothing had happened.
More popcorn, please…
McCarthy “doesn’t have the votes” to be speaker, messy infighting likely.
via GIPHY
I like this Speaker scenario, which I may have mentioned before. Looks like the Rs will have a 222-213 edge. McCarthy doesn't have the votes.
Next best option to Greasy Mac is 6-7 common sense Rs nominate somebody like Rep Don Bacon (R-NE) or Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) as Speaker, with all the Dems voting yes.
We're 50:50 in this country. The races were IA3, NY17, MI10, CA13, CO3
In this election, the country's voters were closely divided. But as Michael McDonald of the US Election Project has it,
So, our country is divided something more like == 23.5%, 23.3%, 53.2%
Feeling a bit better about Colorado, at 58.5% (6th place). But Tennessee: 31.6%. West Virginia: 35.7%. Mississippi 37.1%. Alabama 37.7%.
Pols, here’s a new feature udea dor slow news days:
Who said the dumbest thing today?
Here!s Herschel Walker’sentry:
And our own local genius, not to be bested in the dumbdown sweeps:
Numbers I've seen suggest the "wrongfully silenced" were a fraction of the estimated "number of monetized monthly active users of 237.8 million." And we'll get some estimate of the changes next month —
I liked the description of RealClear Media Fellow Kalev Leetaru, who says "The Data Show Twitter Is Far From Dying." After pointing to remarkable stability of observable statistics, he describes the forum this way:
1990, huh? One of my nephews was born that year. He’s the most politically aware and engaged of them all, and never misses an election. His wife is a Brit, and when she gains her American citizenship, she’ll be right there with him.
