Don’t Do It, Lang!

Colorado Republicans are having a difficult time finding candidates willing to run for statewide office in 2022. Since the GOP can’t manage to find anyone new who is willing to embrace the base and turn off everyone else, they are now looking at ways to recycle. We’re just 14 months away from the 2022 election, […]

What Does Heidi Ganahl Stand For? Lorem Ipsum!

UPDATE: Ganahl’s campaign seems to have fixed its problem, though they could still use some words for their “Issues” section: —– It’s been two weeks since the launch of Republican University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for governor, which both sides of the aisle agree with unusual frankness did not go well. After a […]

Everyone Should Know About the “Eastman Memo”

Margaret Sullivan has an important column out today in The Washington Post about something that every American should be intimately familiar with: The “Eastman Memo.” In a normal world, the “Eastman memo” would be infamous by now, the way “Access Hollywood” became the popular shorthand in 2016 for the damning recording of Donald Trump’s bragging […]

Colorado’s Olympian Insurrectionist Cops A Plea

The Denver Post’s Shelly Bradbury reports on the plea agreement accepted by a federal judge yesterday in the case of Klete Keller of Colorado Springs, an Olympic gold-medal swimmer facing multiple charges after helping storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6th for the purpose of disrupting the certification by Congress of Joe Biden’s victory in […]

Winners and Losers of the 2021 Congressional Redistricting Cycle

Be Disgusted By “Replacement Theory,” But Don’t Be Surprised

Oliver Willis at the American Independent reports on a video posted yesterday by freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, in which Boebert clumsily (this being Boebert’s only speed without a script) embraces a well-known racist trope known as the “Great Replacement Theory”–the theory that white people are being deliberately replaced by nonwhite immigrants in the United […]

Another Day, Another Nationwide Boebert Dunkfest

And with that, as Huffington Post’s Josephine Harvey reports, Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert was trending once again: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) got shot down by critics on Monday after tweeting a false analogy comparing the coronavirus to a headache. “I woke up with a headache this morning. I took some Tylenol. Now if everyone else […]

Im(p)eachment Inanity

Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) made national headlines over the weekend thanks to the absence of one little ‘p’ from a press release announcing that she had filed im(p)eachment paperwork against both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Boebert wants Biden and Harris to be im(p)eached on account of “colluding with the Taliban” […]

GOP Pundits To Heidi Ganahl: Get Ready To Lose

Tomorrow will mark two weeks since Republican University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl launched her campaign for governor, and the bipartisan consensus view with the benefit of that much hindsight is that Ganahl’s campaign kickoff was a messaging failure–squandering months of overwrought preparation, including a contrived “podcast tour” to build Ganahl’s poor name ID while […]

The GMS Podcast: Operation Naptime/ Tina Peters Returns

This week on Episode #87 of The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii break down the worst Colorado campaign kickoff this century (take a bow, Heidi Ganahl!) Elsewhere, Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters returns to Colorado and immediately starts begging for money in order to help pay off what […]

Meritless Defense: “Honey Badger” Can’t Save Tina Peters

We’ve been holding our peace over the past few days as the “defense” of embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters against allegations that she allowed unauthorized access and the subsequent public leaking of proprietary election system data has taken shape. Represented by former Secretary of State and discredited election conspiracy theorist in his own right […]

Boebert Introduces Articles Of “Imeachment” Against Joe Biden

UPDATE 12:10PM: Fun while it lasted, the “imeachment” crisis has mercifully been ended. UPDATE 12:05PM: It’s possible that Rep. Lauren Boebert’s staff is arguing right now over whether to delete and “look weak” or…you know, not look like complete idiots. That’s the only explanation we can come up with for why this painfully glaring typo […]

Oh Noes Conspiracy Theorists! Arizona “Audit” Goes Bust

After months of speculation, hype, and repeated false-start announcements of an impending bombshell that never materialized, ABC 15 News in Arizona reports on the end of that state’s ridiculous second-guessing by Republicans who refused to lose graciously, a process they misleadingly called an “audit” of the 2020 presidential elections: Nearly six months after it started, […]

Did You Meet FreedomWorks’ Traveling Insurrectionist?

As Politico reports, an employee–scratch that, now ex-employee–of the well-known conservative astroturf organizing group FreedomWorks, Brandon Prenzlin, recently joined the 650-odd insurrectionists facing charges over the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th supporting efforts to overturn the 2020 elections: An FBI investigation that included an airport stakeout led to the arrest Friday of […]

Cause And Effect: How Boebert Reacted To Eastman’s Coup Plot

The publication of the new tell-all book Peril from legendary investigative journo Bob Woodward and veteran Washington Post reporter Bob Costa, detailing the chaotic final days of Donald Trump’s desperate attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 elections, has exposed new details about the involvement of then-University of Colorado Visiting Scholar of Conservative Thought […]

Sure Enough: Boebert’s Campaign Paid Shooter’s Grill Rent

THURSDAY UPDATE: This story is getting lots of national attention. —– Forbes’ Zach Everson reports the latest twist in the case of several thousand dollars in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s campaign funds that were erroneously (?) used for a then-unspecified recurring personal expense–a discrepancy that the Federal Election Commission asked Boebert to fully document in August. […]

Never Change, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners

Lest you had any mistaken sense that Colorado Republicans were setting aside their differences ahead of a challenging midterm election next year, the irascible no-compromise gun rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners sets the record straight to commemorate World Rhino Day 2021: Come on, it’s funny–and the Photoshopping could be worse! And it is in […]

No Excuses: Get Your Free COVID-19 Rapid Tests Now

Jared Polis to be distributed free to all Colorado residents just in time for cold, flu, and worse season: It’s part of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s growing program to deliver COVID-19 tests to parents or guardians to test […]
