Denver Gazette Running Ads With Falsehoods About Gangs Seizing an ‘Aurora Apartment Complex’

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder It’s now well established that Venezuelan gangs did not take over apartment complexes in Aurora, but the Denver Gazette, a conservative online newspaper owned by GOP billionaire Phil Anschutz, is still running Facebook advertisements falsely claiming that a “Venezuelan gang used violence to seize […]

Republicans Misunderstand Leverage in Stupidest Shutdown Threat

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is really not very good at this whole governing thing. Like, historically bad. With less than 50 days to go until the 2024 Election, Johnson on Wednesday tried to ram through a continuing resolution to fund the government tied to a proposal so idiotic that many House Republicans publicly […]

Yadira Caraveo Not Letting Gabe Evans “Memory Hole” His Fired Political Director

As the Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports, incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo, defending her seat from freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans, took the offensive yesterday against Evans over the firing last week of Evans’ political director Jessica Spindle, a longtime Evans ally who was exposed by the Colorado Times-Recorder to have a lengthy history of overtly […]

Colorado Republicans Keep Learning the Cost of Incompetence

The Colorado Republican Party is currently overseen by Chairman Dave Williams…unless you think the true leader is “Chairman” Eli Bremer. You might be right either way. The headquarters of the Colorado Republican Party is in Greenwood Village, south of Denver…or maybe it is in Colorado Springs, where Bremer recently opened a “satellite” office of the […]

Aurora Apocrypha Helps Trump Crash And Burn On National Television

Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris faced off against former President Donald Trump in what could well be their only debate before the November elections. If this does prove to be the only debate between the candidates it will not be the choice of the Harris campaign, who after last night immediately offered Trump a […]

The Grope Felt Round The World: One Year After #Beetlebert

To say that the Colorado political landscape looked very different one year ago today would be an understatement like few in our years of history covering Colorado politics. On September 10, 2023, the fate of Colorado’s perpetual motion machine of political mayhem Rep. Lauren Boebert was very much in doubt. Five days before, Boebert sent […]

Mayor Mike No Help Stopping The Crazy Tren de Aragua

It started with a rally in late July by Venezuelan metro area residents protesting against the fraudulent re-election of that country’s Nicholas Maduro, an event that was impulsively and wrongly condemned by Republicans on the Aurora City Council who should have been on the same side of opposing a socialist dictator but instead gave in […]

Initiatives 50 and 108 are Officially Dead as Democrats Emerge Victorious

The wicked witch is dead. Both of them. As the Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced via press release this morning: Proponents of Proposed Initiative #50, “Voter Approval to Retain Additional Property Tax Revenue,” and Proposed Initiative #108, “Valuation for Assessments,” have withdrawn those measures from the 2024 General Election ballot. As a result, those […]

Dueling Meetings & Disputed Votes: Colorado GOP Chair Doubles Down on Defiance

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Defiance defined Saturday’s meeting of some members of the Colorado Republican Party’s Central Committee. Comprised almost exclusively of supporters of Dave Williams, the meeting was essentially a MAGA celebration for the former state representative, who insists he is still in charge. Williams and his […]

Gabe Evans, Like Trump, is Still Confused on Voter Views About Abortion Rights

It’s no secret that the issue of abortion rights has been a primary driver for voters since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade that removed federal protections for reproductive health care for women. In every state that has held a vote on abortion rights since the 2022 SCOTUS decision — red […]

Rep. Brandi Bradley Desperate To Start Her Very Own Culture War

Colorado state Rep. Brandi Bradley, now doing double culture-war duty as the leader of the brand-new Douglas County chapter of Moms For Liberty (yes, those Moms For Liberty), has been on the clamorous frontlines of every conceivable wedge issue during her relatively short time in office, earning her a spot in the Colorado House Republican […]

Trump’s Insane Slam On The Medal Of Honor Leaves Pueblo Asking WTF

CBS News‘ James LaPorte reports on comments from ex-President Donald Trump last Thursday that have outraged veterans and sent Trump’s cable news surrogates scrambling for acceptable explanations–certainly not the first time that Trump has bizarrely disparaged Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the nation, but in clear terms that make […]
