Two new stories today highlight what former Gov.

Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign was all about how America was totally the best country ever (or would be, if he were elected). The infamous “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan has since morphed into the logically-inconsistent “Keep America Great” or “Transitioning to Greatness” tagline(s) as Trump’s re-election campaign steams forward. Is America already “great” […]
Politico helps us sort through another historic victory for LGBT Americans at the U.S. Supreme Court today: The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the key federal law prohibiting discrimination in the workplace protects gay, lesbian or transgender employees from being disciplined, fired or turned down for a job based on their sexual orientation.

No Republican candidate stepped forward to challenge the lone Democrat, Nolbert Chavez, who’s running to represent a swath of suburbs outside of Denver on the University of Colorado Board of Regents, the governing body of the university. So the GOP has almost certainly handed the seat to Chavez in November. Republicans wouldn’t be expected to […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Donald Trump lies all the time, but we know he prizes loyalty over all else. So when he says Cory Gardner has been with him 100%, we believe him.
UPDATE: On Wednesday morning, the Romanoff campaign sent out an email to supporters claiming that he won the debate on Tuesday…citing five anonymous social media messages. —– The Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate took part in a 30-minute debate on Tuesday evening that was not particularly enlightening for undecided voters. But it was the aftermath […]

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, Coronavirus is not our first topic as protests about police violence take over headlines; Colorado Republican lawmakers do the worst thing they could have done; and we find our second favorite U.S. Senator, Cory Gardner, in a really bad place (again).

As Denver7’s Blair Miller reports, the wild and mostly meritless ride of a complaint before the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission against former Gov. John Hickenlooper ended late Friday, with two findings that Hickenlooper violated the state’s gift ban imposed under the 2006 ethics reform law known as Amendment 41: The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission on […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The leader of the Otero County, Colorado, Republican Party was “suspicious from the get-go” about the George Floyd video, thinking it might have been faked to harm Trump in November. “Interesting perspective.

UPDATE: More from CBS News: But black unemployment rose slightly from 16.7% in April to 16.8% in May, in a month the president declared a “tribute to equality” as the nation protests racial discrimination and police brutality. Mr. Trump also seemed to declare success after a week of protests that swept the nation. “Equal justice […]
The Hill reports on another Republican colleague of Sen. Cory Gardner’s daring to take a teensy baby step in the direction of accountability for President Donald Trump as outrage over Trump’s handling the unrest over police violence grows: “I think the president has done a pretty good job on his prepared remarks because he has […]
UPDATE: Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is also speaking up for Mattis: “The president did not fire him.

The president tweeted a very […]
UPDATE #3: The Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter updates as the battle between Gov. John Hickenlooper and a technologically-challenged Independent Ethics Commission rages on: “John Hickenlooper has made clear he will testify in person. Today’s debacle of a hearing has made clear that WebEx doesn’t work for a legal proceeding like this,” said Melissa Miller, a […]
CNN reports while some Republicans privately cheer, but not in Colorado: Nine-term Congressman Steve King of Iowa will lose his Republican primary race to state Sen.
