Rep. Ken Buck, as readers know, keeps a reportedly nonfunctional AR-15 style assault rifle in his office–at least we hope it’s not ready to lock and load, along with the Washington, D.C. attorney general’s office and the U.S. Capitol Police! Either way, it was only a matter of time before Rep.-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert arrived […]
(Let your inner vile shine – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Times Recorder calls out bigotry, racism, hate, and insensitivity that cling to fringe elements of humanity. But at what point is it counter-productive to shine our spotlight, such as it is, on conservatives who fully admit they’re delivering ugly online outrages simply to […]
UPDATE #2: Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley), who also serves as the State Republican Party Chairman, won’t answer questions about the Presidential election…but he’ll happily take time to write a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking for an investigation into “Hunter Biden’s laptop.” —– UPDATE: It’s worth noting that this is not a new phenomenon. As […]
On 10/29, officers responded to activity at a ballot box where someone appeared to place an on fire paper in the box. El Paso County Clerk & Records office verified no ballots were damaged. We are seeking the public’s help identifying the suspect. Call (719) 444-7000 w/ info. pic.twitter.com/WxqG1M3fzs — Colorado Springs Police Department (@CSPDPIO) […]
Here’s a photo of former Secretary of State now Colorado Springs Councilman at-large Wayne Williams, in cozy maskless proximity with his friends Suzanne Taheri (you probably know her as Suzanne Staiert, former deputy Secretary of State and failed 2020 SD-27 candidate), and the ubiquitous Lynn Bartels, Williams’ former spokesperson and a longtime local media fixture […]
Congresswoman-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert didn’t even wait until she was sworn-in to office to start her own political grifting operation. We were perusing the latest campaign finance reports this morning and came across a whopper of an expenditure: A few weeks ago, Boebert wrote herself a check from her campaign account in the amount of […]

Yesterday morning, co-lead attorney in outgoing-whether-he-likes-it-or-not President Donald Trump’s flailing quasi-legal quest to overturn the 2020 elections, Colorado’s own Jenna Ellis, warned America that something juicy was coming in hot: The failing NY Times plans to run a hit piece today. They’re trying to undermine the public’s confidence in the President’s election integrity battle by […]

UPDATE: We’d be remiss if we failed to note in this post how Rep. Ken Buck himself helped spread baseless worries about Colorado elections, asking the Department of Justice to investigate a now-deleted error-riddled CBS4 Denver story about “dead voters.” The head of Colorado’s Republican party, Congressman Ken Buck is asking the Justice Department and […]
Here’s a clip of hard-right GOP Rep. Dave Williams of Colorado Springs speaking on the floor of the House today as the COVID-19 relief special session of the legislature wrapped up–and these are words, as we’ll explain, we never thought we’d hear out of Rep. Williams’ mouth: You know, there were a hundred restaurants–I believe […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) You knew the only thing stopping Congresswoman-elect Lauren Boebert (R-CO) from exploding across the conservative underworld nationally was actually getting elected. Now that she’s cleared that obstacle, Boebert is lighting up social media, Fox News, and other right-wing platforms as she launches her national campaign for…anything that will draw more attention […]
Salon reports on another amateur-hour stumble by Rep.-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, in the process of which calling attention to substantial help Boebert got this year from a major far-right Republican luminary: The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) sent a letter last week to Representative-elect Lauren Boebert, R-Co., asking the QAnon sympathizer to disclose her campaign’s fundraising […]
This story from The Washington Post about President-elect Joe Biden’s economic team caught our attention for the ridiculous but altogether predictable move from Congressional Republicans to suddenly pretend to be worried about the national debt again: President-elect Joe Biden’s choice of economic advisers highlights a commitment to spend whatever is needed to restore a full-employment […]

As the brief special session of the Colorado General Assembly got underway yesterday, the presence of a Republican legislative staffer who had posted to social media on November 24 saying “I have COVID” on the House floor, improperly wearing her mask to boot, set off a round of recriminations that earned disproportionate media coverage relative […]
The 2020 election is over (yes, even for you, President Trump), which means it’s time to gaze into our crystal ball and take a first look at 2022. Go check out The Big Line 2022, then come back here and air your grievances. Keep in mind that early editions of The Big Line are more speculative […]
Faith Miller reported yesterday for Colorado Newsline on the goals for the (hopefully) three-day extraordinary session of the Colorado General Assembly that gaveled in today to work on a package of economic relief bills at the request of Gov. Jared Polis: The administration of Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic leaders in the state House and […]

David Mullen of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports: About 70 demonstrators gathered Saturday near the Colorado State Capitol to protest what they alleged was fraud in the presidential election. Calling themselves the Colorado Election Integrity Project, the group waved “Trump 2020” banners and held up signs reading “Stop the Steal” and “Masks, Tyranny, Corruption + […]
We wrote late Monday about the asinine announcement by Jefferson County Republicans that they “refuse to certify” the results of the 2020 elections, something they are not responsible for actually doing as the county canvassing board and Clerk George Stern certify the results. When asked why they were choosing this meaningless method of protesting results […]
