(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Republican leaders said today that a portrait of Trump will adorn a wall at the Colorado Capitol by late 2018 or early 2019. But in light of recent crimes apparently involving Trump, would they halt the placement of the Trump portrait if the president were impeached, convicted of crimes, or […]
That from local reporter John Frank, formerly of the Denver Post now working for the Colorado Sun: Stapleton told me: “The president is going to have to sort that out on his own. … He’s going to have to figure it out. That’s a Washington issue.” #copolitics #coleg #cogov — John Frank ☀️ (@ByJohnFrank) August […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) changes his position on immigration reform about as often as most people change their underwear. Back in June, amid the fervor surrounding the Trump administration’s decision to forcibly remove immigrant children from their parents, Coffman issued this statement in opposition to Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy. The final words of Coffman’s statement were […]
That’s Victor Mitchell, the Republican candidate for governor of Colorado who placed second with over 30% of the vote in that party’s four-way primary last June, calling on fellow Republicans today to ask for President Donald Trump’s resignation–and failing that, to move to impeach. Transcript: I’m an American, I’m a Coloradan before I’m a Republican. […]
Tuesday, August 21 will go down in history as the day that a sitting President of the United States was named as a co-conspirator in a criminal activity that could ultimately lead to the end of his administration. As John Dean, former White House counsel for Richard Nixon, told Bloomberg News: “I think we’ve established today […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The BBC reports that more than 41,000 people in Europe have been infected with measles in the first six months of 2018. There have been 37 deaths caused by this outbreak. Of the 57 states, districts, territories, and commonwealths in the most recent CDC report on kindergartners who had received the […]
UPDATE #2: The kiss of death. NOW: DONALD TRUMP NAME-CHECKS, PRAISES @SenCoryGardner #copolitics #cosen pic.twitter.com/I0rkFnqkCD — ProgressNowCO (@ProgressNowCO) August 21, 2018 —– UPDATE: And this one… —– Guess who was the third person to deplane from Air Force One this afternoon in West Virginia? Yup, that’s Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). You’ll be seeing a lot […]
UPDATE (4:20 pm): Cohen has directly implicated President Trump in pleading guilty today. Again, from the Washington Post: When it came to the campaign finance violations, Cohen implicated the president directly. He told the court that he worked with Trump to pay off two women to keep their stories of alleged affairs with Trump from […]
(Stay classy, Colorado Peak Politics – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A conservative blog in Colorado responded to a talk radio host’s assertion that Colorado state senate candidate Faith Winter is “overweight” by asserting that, “We don’t know if she’s overweight or not as we have not weighed her.” The blog, called ColoradoPeakPolitics, opined yesterday that […]
Some revealing comments from the Montrose County Republicans Women’s Luncheon last Friday by Rep. Scott Tipton about his view of the investigation into President Donald Trump’s dealings with the Russian government to gain leverage in the 2016 elections–as the Daily Press’ Katharhynn Heidelberg reports: United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions should not have fully recused himself […]
Welcome back to our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” For today’s, uh, episode, we take you to Florida, where Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan is getting hammered for what appears to be an egregious example of a “loan-to-play” agreement. From the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting: U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Sarasota), who sits […]
FOX 31 reported last week in rather inflammatory fashion about laws in Colorado pertaining to the killing of a pregnant woman, an issue that flares up politically every time such a horrible crime is committed: After a Frederick man was arrested on murder charges after the disappearance of his pregnant wife and two daughters, a […]
If you are mean to President Trump, you’re going to lose your security clearance. Trump isn’t even pretending otherwise. It’s time to Get More Smarter. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). If you are more of a visual learner, check out The Get More Smarter Show. […]
There is so much breaking news lately on the ever-widening allegations about Russian ties to the Trump campaign that it can be difficult to keep track of everything. With that in mind, we’ve created what we’re calling “The Daily D’oh!” to help you stay up-to-date on President Trump and the rest of the White House staff as more […]
Election Day is now just 11 weeks away, so it’s time to start asking you — our loyal readers — the big questions for 2018. As always, we want to know who you think will be the winner in this race — not who you support or who you would prefer to see emerge victorious. Cast your […]
A press release from Colorado Democrats today highlights some tellingly bad answers from Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton on health care in a new Colorado Springs Gazette story, helpfully pulling them out from behind Phil Anschutz’s paywall for public consumption: “Stapleton has been a yes-man for Donald Trump’s crusade to rob Coloradans of their health care, […]
CNN reports on the President’s Sunday morning Tweetstorm: President Donald Trump on Sunday compared the special counsel investigation to McCarthyism, saying Robert Mueller made the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy “look like a baby.” “Study the late Joseph McCarthy, because we are now in period with Mueller and his gang that make Joseph McCarthy look like […]
Vox reports on the angry response unfolding to the decision by President Donald Trump to strip former CIA Director John Brennan of his security clearance, anger that shows no signs of slowing: The man who led the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 has a message for President Donald Trump: Revoke my security […]
Politico reporting, if you were looking forward to watching President Donald Trump’s much-balleyhooed military parade later this year, you’re going to have to keep waiting: President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has canceled plans for a military parade in Washington, and ignited a feud with the D.C. mayor after accusing “local politicians” of price […]
The website 538.com is out with a new list of predictions for all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Take a look at what 538.com’s magic eight ball thinks of Colorado’s perennial battleground seat in CO-6, where incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) is trying to fend off Democratic challenger Jason Crow: Before we go any […]
The decision this week by President Donald Trump to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan continues to reverberate, being an unprecedented break with longstanding bipartisan tradition to strike back at one of the administration’s more potent critics. Trump’s original threats to revoke clearances for his critics was laughed off by House […]
This year’s biggest Supreme Court decision pertaining to Colorado directly, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, was a lopsided 7-2 decision but a ruling very narrow in its scope. In the majority opinion, the fundamental question in the case, whether bakery owner Jack Phillips has the right to discriminate against same-sex couples in his […]
The Charleston City Paper alerts us to a recent endorsement for Rep. Mike Coffman that we had somehow missed when it came out last month–the (highly) venerable crooner Pat Boone–though the manner in which they let us know is pretty amusing: An entertainer who made his career singing Christian hymns, but is better known lately […]
