“You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.”

Weld County officials adopt new oil and gas "regulations" [sarcasm quotes mine]
They really don't like those public hearings where citizens actually stand up and tell them that they don't appreciate the fracking wells next door (in Greeley, they actually can be next door, even if next door is an elementary school, an assisted living place, or a huge low-income apartment complex).
This "streamlining" to benefit industry is crap and must be pushed back on. It's not like the price of oil is going to go up or become any cheaper to extract. This must be all about future gambling and holding on to market share.
Jared Polis for the New Democratic (aka "Blue Dog") Coalition Chair?
Since most "Blue Dog" Democrats have lost their seats, all of them in ignominy, Democrats' new strategy at maintaining a "Republican Lite" political posture is now called the New Democratic Coalition.
And though this continuing, failing strategy has been shown for what it is over and over, as it continues to betray Democratic ideals and our battered Middle Class, our beloved multi-millionaire congressman Jared Polis wants to run the damned thing.
That would be pitiable if it hadn't come from a millionaire Congressman-for-Life like Jared.
We're now looking at a President Donald Trump and a historic and ruthless rollback of popular (God Forbid!) and progressive (Wait, what?) achievements. Much of this can be attributed to Democrats' fealty to Wall Street, their abandonment of Main Street, and their complete inability to stand for the most basic principles that helped make the modern Democratic Party ideological home of America's Middle Class.
(Please refer to Wikipedia entries on “Franklin Delano Roosevelt” and “Harry S. Truman” if you are ignorant of this history – as our current elected leaders seem to be.-ed.)
Jared Polis will continue those failures in the name of the "New Dems". Michael Bennet – the unrequited Blue Dog – will quietly stand by.
And Colorado Pols won't say a thing about any of them.
"One in which we stamp out bigotry and discrimination and rise to the challenge of ensuring that our economy can work for all Americans."
It would probably help if the U.S. House of Representatives did away with the Black Congressional Caucus and the Hispanic Congressional Caucus. How much more blatantly racist does an organization need to get before they are considered politically incorrect?
When racial minorities are on an equal economic footing with whites with comparable education, when racial minorities aren't targeted for beating and shooting by police, when GOP strategists don't plot to disenfranchise black and latino voters, then those caucuses might outlive their purpose. But not until then.
@pseudo
This is just the beginning of a torrent of such moves by all of those who would exploit the current madness in our political world….
It is a good time to be Josh Penry.
What you can do to protect water: Ogallala aquifer, Missouri River, and the people who are standing strong to prevent the Dakota Access Pipeline #nodapl.
Call these sheriffs' departments, ask them not to deploy their people to suppress protesters at Standing Rock. A few are already refusing to send their staff to protect what is really an energy company's investment, not a pressing public interest. Donald Trump is an investor in the DAPL, via Energy Transfer Partners.
Also, many veterans are self-deploying to Standing Rock to act as human shields, according to this New York Times article.
