Four Years For One Of Colorado’s More Notorious Insurrectionists

UPDATE: Here’s a photo of Robert Gieswein posing with his fellow “Three Percenters” in front of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s now-shuttered Shooters Grill: The town of Rifle is no longer Boebert’s militia Mecca. And that’s good, not even Three Percenters deserve food poisoning. —– Colorado Public Radio’s Tony Gorman reports on the 48-month sentence handed down […]

Just Stop Talking, Kristi Burton Brown

As KDVR FOX 31’s Lanie Lee Cook reports, yesterday Gov. Jared Polis issued a disaster declaration covering four counties hit by severe storms on Wednesday: Gov. Jared Polis issued the verbal declaration for Lincoln, Elbert, El Paso and Washington counties. Severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings were in effect into Thursday night as weather systems […]

Lauren Boebert’s No Good, Very Bad Week

“Thank God it’s Friday” is one of those mindless phrases that has been so overused that it’s almost embarrassing to utter the words anymore. That doesn’t mean it can’t still be an accurate expression, however – especially if your name is Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert is no doubt relieved to see this week come to […]

Six People Charged with Election Fraud over 2022 GOP Primary

(Always. The. Republican. — Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Shannon Tyler, Colorado Newsline June 21, 2023 Six individuals are accused of forging voter signatures in an attempt to get a congressional candidate on the Republican primary ballot in Colorado’s 7th District last year. Attorney General Phil Weiser announced Tuesday that the […]

Republicans Make Hero of Rep. Adam Schiff

While much of the oxygen yesterday in Congress was sucked up by Rep. Lauren Boebert’s half-baked and ultimately stalled articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden, another tit-for-tat political drama was playing out over a resolution from the GOP House majority to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California more or less entirely for the […]

“Manchin Whisperer” Hick Works To Stop Ill-Conceived Prez Bid

As Politico’s Burgess Everett reports, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, whose name is mud in many Democratic circles despite having voted after long deliberation with Democrats to pass important legislation in the first two years of Joe Biden’s term, is rumored to be entertaining a third-party presidential run supported by the “post-partisan” political organization No […]

Republicans Aren’t Taking Lauren Boebert Seriously Anymore

UPDATE: Boebert is really running out of friends, as The Daily Beast reports:   You can’t hear today’s interaction between Reps. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, but you can pick up the gist from the body language alone: Saw this conversation… not sure if it was a friendly one pic.twitter.com/tpz3z2Phtv — Acyn (@Acyn) June […]

Eating Your Own: State GOP Chairman Expands The Menu

As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog: Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, fresh off his eyebrow-raising attacks on fellow Republican and 2022 primary opponent Rep. Doug Lamborn, on Monday prevailed upon the state party executive committee to publicly “admonish, rebuke, and reprimand” four local Republican elected officials: […]

John Eastman’s Day of Reckoning Finally At Hand

As the Washington Post’s Jacqueline Alemany reports, hearings seeking the disbarment of former University of Colorado visiting conservative scholar and more recently the attorney selected by the Colorado Republican Party to fight Colorado’s open primary laws, John Eastman, are underway today in California: Eastman is facing 11 charges stemming from allegations that he was the […]

In Which Right Wingers in Colorado Go Truly “Batshit” Crazy

We took note last week of a proposal between the Colorado Republican Party and the Colorado Libertarian Party to “join forces” (sometimes) in an effort to prevent Democrats from continuing to win elections in Colorado. The idea stems from a belief among some politicos on both sides that Libertarian candidates — who have long been […]

Ex-GOP Chairman Joins Chorus of Dismay Against Dave Williams

Former Colorado Republican Party chairman and longtime political consultant Dick Wadhams is not generally speaking a figure who inspires much in the way of sympathy. Both as party chair and campaign manager for such high-profile losing efforts as Bob Schaffer’s 2008 U.S. Senate campaign against Mark Udall, Wadhams presided over a pivotal period of decline […]

Juneteenth Weekend Open Thread

Settled: Dave Williams Thinks Republican Donors Are Stupid

UPDATE: KRDO-TV political reporter Spencer Soicher with an eye-opening apropos report on growing dissatisfaction with Dave Williams’ performance as Colorado GOP chairman: “I don’t think anyone wants to see an angry state party in Colorado,” [Pols emphasis] former Colorado GOP Chair Kristi Burton Brown said. Burton Brown didn’t seek another term after the November election […]

Nuggets Victory Celebration Open Thread

Photo by Gov. Jared Polis via Twitter Like there’s anything else happening today. UPDATE: From a reader, the man of the hour and entourage:

Mayor Mike’s Silly Secrecy Over Power Grab Speaks Volumes

Former Republican Congressman-turned Mayor of Aurora Mike Coffman, as we’ve documented in this space over a period of years since Coffman won his current office in 2019 on the rebound from being ousted from Congress, has been on a long-term mission to stack the Aurora City Council with partisan Republicans–and even a former employee, now-Councillor […]

Boebert Introduces New Nonsensical Im(p)eachment Articles

As CBS4 Denver reports today, Colorado’s most frenetic fringe-right fandoozle Rep. Lauren Boebert is living out the axiomatic definition of insanity: doing the same stupid thing twice and expecting a different result: Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has introduced articles of impeachment against Pres. Joe Biden for “his unconstitutional dereliction of duty at the southern border.” […]

Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann Vaguely Afraid of Some Guy

Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann, a Republican up for re-election this November after losing last years’ CD-8 Republican primary to Barb Kirkmeyer, is apparently deeply concerned about the actions of an unknown individual who seems to have taken an interest in her campaign. Why, you ask? Well, it’s not exactly clear, but here it is for […]

Donald Trump Federal Custody Joie de Vivre Thread

UPDATE #2: Remember when now ex-Sen. Cory Gardner joked about sending Hillary Clinton to Supermax over her missing emails? Because we do, thanks to longtime local reporter Corey Hutchins: “I introduce myself most of the time by saying, ‘Hi, I’m Cory Gardner from the great state of Colorado, home of the Rocky Mountains — and […]

It’s Not Your Hippie Uncle’s Libertarian Party Anymore

This morning, the Colorado Republican Party led by politically radioactive chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams announced an agreement brokered with the Colorado Libertarian Party, as long as certain ideological qualifications are met by Republican candidates, to not field Libertarian candidates where they might serve as spoilers for Republicans in tight races: On the surface, […]

The Weakest Western Conservative Summit Ever?

TUESDAY UPDATE: KUNC’s Lucas Brady Woods documents the lamentation after what even organizers of this year’s Western Conservative Summit seem to agree was a sad sack of fail: Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was one of the headliners. Other speakers included Colorado representatives Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and former Trump attorney […]

Eating Your Own: Not Just For Dave Williams Anymore!

As Will Doran reports for WRAL-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina, the recent phenomenon of state Republican Party organizations dominated by far-right hardcore activists openly attacking Republican elected officials, which we’ve seen in Colorado as state GOP chairman Dave Williams attacks his 2022 congressional primary opponent Rep. Doug Lamborn at every opportunity, isn’t limited to our […]

Podcast: Mayoral Madness is Over! (feat. City Cast Denver)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Dark Brandon signed the debt ceiling bill to avert a global economic catastrophe, for now, and House Republicans are revolting! (But not after supplying a sufficient number of votes to pass the bill in the first place) As a result, we have occasion to ask our favorite […]

Holy Shit! Unsealed Trump Indictment is Devastating

UPDATE #3: Here’s the entirety of the statement made by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who said, “We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone.” Smith said that Trump’s actions “put this country at risk.” Jack Smith: “Today, an indictment was unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump of felony violations of our […]
