Yesterday’s ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot in Colorado based on Trump’s participation in an insurrection against the federal government on January 6th, 2021 has provoked a discomforting firestorm of backlash and even threats of secession and civil war from supporters of the ex-President. As the Colorado […]
As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, the next step in the road to accountability for disgraced local attorney Jenna Ellis, who pled guilty in October to a felony charge in the case against conspirators seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, is at hand with a new complaint to […]
If you haven’t seen the business headlines lately, the U.S. economy is so bad that the stock market hit a record high this week. Twice. As Reuters reports: U.S. stocks ended firmer on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching its second straight record high close, lifted by optimism that borrowing rates will decrease […]
Former President Donald Trump is the likely Republican nominee (again) for the top job in the land. As you are no doubt aware, Trump has never stopped complaining about his belief that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen because of various fact-free allegations about alleged criminal actions that nobody has ever been able to substantiate. […]
Everybody knows one. Every office has them. They are the people who make a workplace into a toxic environment with their words and actions (and microwaving leftover fish in the break room). The actions of one or two individuals can poison the culture of an entire office and make it difficult for others to do […]
When the United States Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v Wade in June 2022, it sparked nationwide outrage that cost Republicans dearly in the 2022 election and has continued to complicate GOP electoral interests in even the reddest of states. In the 18 months since Roe was overturned — thus removing national protections for abortion […]
UPDATE: Colorado Rep. “CNN Ken” Buck, who has never made a decision that he didn’t reconsider several times a day, is now wavering on authorizing an impeachment inquiry. As Raw Story explains, Buck told CNN’s Erin Burnett that he doesn’t think there is any reason to attempt to impeach President Biden…but on the other hand, […]

Much has been written and discussed in recent weeks (HERE, HERE, and HERE, for just a few examples) regarding an open secret about Republican Donald Trump’s Presidential Dictatorship aspirations for 2025. Trump supporters, including unofficial press secretary Sean Hannity of Fox News, have been quick to dismiss various reports as “fake news,” but this gets […]

For a keynote speech Thursday to attendees of a right-wing conference featuring major conservative and religious right organizations, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was tapped to explain how the conservative ideas explored at the conference “can be implemented in the Denver community,” and “how can these concepts work in a city as ideologically diverse as Denver?” […]
Here’s a headline that most rational Republicans really, really, really don’t want to see in the next year: “Republicans Want to Repeal Affordable Care Act.” Unfortunately for the GOP, they’re careening toward this very problem because Donald Trump is going to keep talking about Obamacare…whether Republicans like it or not. Last weekend, the frontrunner for […]
As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, President Joe Biden’s long-awaited trip to Colorado–more specifically to America’s Most Vulnerable™ GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s district to celebrate renewable energy investments Boebert has steadfastly voted against and then taken credit for–finally kicked off yesterday after his original plan to visit in mid-October was pre-empted by war in […]
Politico’s Kelly Garrity reports on another appearance by retiring GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck, condemning once again fellow Republicans who are still promulgating the “Big Lie” that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election as has become a regular refrain for Buck–this time on Face the Nation Sunday: “Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen […]
Last week, parliamentary elections in the Netherlands resulted in what’s being described as a shocking victory for the far right, with Dutch anti-immigrant demagogue Geert Wilders’ so-called Party of Freedom winning enough seats to (hypothetically) lead a coalition government. AP: He’s been called the Dutch Donald Trump. He’s been threatened with death countless times by […]

As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reported before the holiday break, the Colorado Republican Party’s Chairman of the Ballot and Election Security Committee, a position originally offered to indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters now held by no-less infamous election denier and January 6th insurrection spectator former state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks, sent a letter to […]
This morning, Colorado’s America’s most vulnerable incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert did something she in her term and a half in Congress has almost never done for local candidates who (at least at one time) could have used her help–an endorsement, not just for a fellow Republican but wading into a safe-seat GOP primary in […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports that the Colorado Supreme Court has accepted the appeals from both sides and will hear the case early next month: NEW: Colorado Supreme Court agrees to hear the Trump ballot access case. Oral argument: Dec. 6. Both sides appealed after a Denver District Judge ruled the 14th Amendment didn't apply […]
Via 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark, here is former Colorado Springs candidate for mayor and armed militia commander John “Tig” Tiegen having a normal one, which for “Tig” normal being threats to “shed blood” of FBI agents following the arrest yesterday of two more Colorado-based accused January 6th, 2021 insurrectionists: It’s important to remember that Tiegen for […]
The federal government will shut down just after midnight on Friday if Republican House Speaker “MAGA” Mike Johnson can’t work out a deal that will satisfy the competing factions of both the House Freedom Caucus and “reality.” In order to keep the lights on in this country, Johnson will likely be forced to resort to […]

UPDATE: NBC News reports that Democrats are warming to Speaker Mike Johnson’s continuing resolution proposal, potentially averting a shutdown at the end of the week and further isolating GOP hardliners like Rep. Lauren Boebert: After trashing the idea of a two-step strategy to fund the government, House Democrats signaled on Monday they are open to […]
We thought about doing a “Winners and Losers” post after yesterday’s election results, but we could have just listed “Republicans” in the “Losers” section and called it a day. The 2023 election was again a pretty terrible night to be a right-wing conservative — not just In Colorado but across the country — and produced […]
UPDATE #4: In Colorado, Prop. HH is losing and Prop. II is winning — both by fairly significant margins. —– UPDATE #3: By wide margins, voters in Ohio approve a ballot measure enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution…AND say ‘YES’ to legalizing marijuana. —– UPDATE #2: Big news to start the night for Democrats.
