UPDATE #2: President Trump responds, sort of, to questions about why all of his top advisers keep facing criminal charges: NBC’s @GeoffRBennett: “Respectfully, sir, it’s not just Steve Bannon, it’s Roger Stone, it’s Michael Flynn, it’s Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen. What’s it say about your judgment—” Trump: “Well, I have no idea.” — […]
Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has always struck us as an unusual public figure to say the least, mostly because he looks and talks like a perfect combination of Batboy and Marshall Applewhite: We’re not sure who exactly Scott is supposed to appeal to. Nonetheless he wins elections in Florida. Rick Scott is standing with […]
UPDATE: Gardner’s nonsense bill about pre-existing medical conditions doesn’t even work anyway: This recent bill from Senator Cory Gardner provides some protections for people with pre-existing conditions, but it leaves out a big one: Insurance companies would still be able to deny insurance entirely to people who are sick.https://t.co/CaYLVViGMh pic.twitter.com/FEs99fsQLm — Larry Levitt (@larry_levitt) August […]
As the Denver Post’s Bruce Finley reports, in case you haven’t been outside, opened a window, or breathed deeply in the last few days: Climate change hit home in Colorado this week, exacerbating multiple environmental calamities: wildfires burning across 135,423 acres, stream flows shrinking to where state officials urged limits on fishing, drought wilting crops, […]

(If it walks like a duck… — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) says repeatedly that he wants to protect people with pre-existing conditions from losing their health insurance, yet he’s voted repeatedly to eliminate or gut the federal requirement that insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions. Now Gardner has introduced […]
The currently raging QAnon unified field theory of crazy, which if you haven’t heard is a global cabal of wealthy elites to abduct children and variously abuse them sexually and/or obtain from their blood a wonder drug known as adrenochrome t0 stay forever young–look it up–has found a home in the Jefferson County, Colorado Republican […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was asked today to provide his thoughts on President Trump’s attacks on the U.S. Postal Service. He said a lot of words. Sen. Gardner did not directly answer a follow-up question about whether the postmaster general is doing a good job. #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/sS2qN5re9A — Justin Wingerter (@JustinWingerter) August 17, […]
MONDAY UPDATE: WTF? SAVE THE POST OFFICE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2020 —– National Public Radio reports on an admission so jaw-dropping it could only be…an average Thursday in Donald Trump’s train wreck presidency: While President Trump has long railed against mail-in voting, falsely claiming it leads to rampant fraud, he appeared to […]
The Denver City Council will hold its regular weekly meeting tonight, where one City Council member hopes to force a vote on a massively-consequential proposal that she hasn’t even sketched out herself.

CBS4 Denver: A new week of politics in Colorado is beginning with more defense of Colorado’s mail-in voting system, as President Donald Trump says he doesn’t want to slow down the mail.

UPDATE: It’s been more than 10 days. Still no bill text: —– Politicians can do craven, gutless, despicable things when they are worried about their own re-election. Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is on another level entirely. Today marks the one-week anniversary of the introduction of legislation that Gardner has not talked about other than […]
From the high-commission conservative fundraising site Freedomfy–that’s right, kids, Jon Caldara has a piece of the action–comes a preview of an upcoming Very Important Self-Published Book™ written by a hefty group of Republican lawmakers and hard-right local activists just in time for the 2020 election season: UNMASKED2020: Colorado’s Radical Left Turn and a Warning to […]
As readers know, Sen. Cory Gardner is generally reported by the press as being “in support” of Colorado’s mail ballot system.

For the fourth consecutive week, we are discussing on a Friday the failure of Senate Republicans to make any movement whatsoever on another coronavirus stimulus bill.

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports on a new poll that, if accurate, shows Republicans in deep trouble in a congressional district that was held easily by ousted incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton for a decade: The survey of 400 likely voters in the 3rd Congressional District found Diane Mitsch Bush, a Democrat, with […]
NPR reported yesterday that mail ballot collection boxes, which have proven highly popular among Colorado voters–and that’s before President Donald Trump started monkey-wrenching the U.S. Postal Service coincidentally just a few months before an election he insists without factual basis will be defraudulated by mail ballots: Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett…told the U.S. Senate […]
