Mesa County Clerk Losing Her MAGA-Loving Mind

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, GOP Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who once defended the integrity of the recent elections carried out in part by her office on Dominion Voting Systems hardware, has…lapsed into behavior substantially less responsible: Despite public statements that Colorado’s election system is safe and secure, Mesa […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #4: Lunacy Becomes GOP Platform

Republicans have not been very competitive in Colorado elections in recent years, helping to turn what was once a swing state into a solid blue rectangle. Republican ineptitude was not a new story in 2020, but there was a different flavor to the Colorado GOP’s brand of nonsense in the weirdest year any of us […]

Boebert vs. Buck: Who’s In Charge Of The Colorado GOP?

The Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reported yesterday a development in the ongoing struggle by beaten President Donald Trump to undo his loss to Joe Biden, and while it’s not what you’d call a game-changer it certainly adds drama to the story in terms of Colorado Republican divisions on what happened in the November elections and […]

Top Stories of 2020 #5: Tipton’s Fall, “Q*Bert’s” Rise

As the old saying goes, “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” And the story of the ascension to Congress by the most unqualified and unabashedly fringe candidate perhaps in Colorado’s entire history began with the very much unexpected defeat of five-term incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton in the 2020 CD-3 Republican primary by […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #7: Not Once, Not Twice, But Thrice

We don’t have to tell you that 2020 has been a strange year. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, many Colorado businesses were forced to close their doors; some shut down permanently, while others closed and re-opened and closed and re-opened depending on the level of positive COVID-19 cases in the community. The Colorado legislature was […]

Sen. Donovan Busts Down Mike Pence In Vail

Newsweek reports today following up on a CBS4 Denver story from the weekend: Vice President Mike Pence’s vacation in Vail, Colorado drew the ire of a state senator who is using his visit to highlight how the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted her home state. Pence quietly left Washington, DC as President […]

Lauren Boebert’s Getting Kind of Scary

In the weeks since the election as outgoing defeated President Donald Trump’s half-baked legal challenges and shockingly unscrupulous pressuring of everyone from low-level election officials to state governors to overturn the election continue, Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert, Colorado’s “QAnon”-familiar pistol packing hard-right Congresscritter-elect from the Third Congressional District, has cheered Trump’s refusal to accept the results […]

Flailing Trump Does Democrats, Americans Big Favor?

Politico reports on the latest turmoil over what was a done deal just a day ago, another round of economic relief to keep the sputtering economy going through what everyone hopes is the last winter of the COVID-19 pandemic: President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted the $900 billion coronavirus relief package passed by Congress, calling […]

Restore Your Faith in Politics…Even Just a Little Bit

Because California Sen. Kamala Harris is the Vice President-Elect, California Gov. Gavin Newsom was required to select someone to replace her for the remainder of her Senate term. On Monday, Newsom selected California Secretary of State Alex Padilla for the job. Padilla’s selection may not have been a huge surprise, but watch this video of […]

Not Laughing Off Lauren Boebert’s Latest

As readers know, we’ve kicked off a recurring series of posts we call “Deep Thoughts By Lauren Boebert,” consigning some of the more bizarre pronouncements from Colorado’s newest Republican member of Congress to posterity before they get deleted or otherwise lost in the din. Rep-.elect Boebert’s…unique blend of homespun frankness and susceptibility to whatever nutty […]

Deep Thoughts By Lauren Boebert: “Irony”

It’s time to return again to a new feature we call “Deep Thoughts By Lauren Boebert.” When last we caught up with Congresswoman-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, she was busy trying to explain the “algorithms” that done messed up the 2020 election for her man President Trump. Today, Boebert sent out a tweet that wouldn’t even […]

Jeffco GOP Jumps On, Falls Off Election Fraud Bandwagon

Denver7’s Adi Guajardo reports on the latest attempt by the increasingly unhinged Jefferson County, Colorado Republican Party to join in the distraction so many Republicans are enjoying today, consoling themselves over Donald Trump’s defeat–and in Jeffco, another ballotwide shellacking of Republican candidates–by asserting that elections in Colorado’s foremost bellwether suburban county were “tainted”–by the dead, […]

Crackpot GOP “Election Fraud Hearing” #Fails Very Bigly

Yesterday, as readers know, the Legislative Audit Committee in the Colorado legislature convened at the request of outgoing GOP Rep. Lori Saine to hear “expert testimony” on whether elections in Colorado–carried out in 62 of 64 counties on Dominion Voting Systems hardware–were somehow not free and fair, in so doing supporting the contention by outgoing […]

Univ. of Colo. Regent Heidi Ganahl Uses Far-Right Social Media Sites That Allow Bigotry & Misinformation

(Sadly, no surprise here — Promoted by Colorado Pols) University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl took to social media last week to announce her new side-gig as a conservative columnist for the Denver Gazette. In addition to posts on Facebook and Twitter, Ganahl shared the news on alt-right site Parler, which is known as a […]

Cory Gardner is a Bad Example

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Democrat Joe Biden for winning the Presidential election today, exactly six weeks after Election Day. As The Washington Post reports: “The electoral college has spoken, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” said McConnell (R-Ky.). He also nodded to the historic elevation of his Senate colleague, Kamala […]

Let the Nonsense Commence!

UPDATE (10:44 am): 9News political reporter Marshall Zelinger has already had enough: I’m going to stop live tweeting the Colorado Legislative Audit Committee until there is proof provided of election fraud. Testifying that we should find something if it exists, without providing proof of what you think exists is not news. #coleg #copolitics — Marshall Zelinger […]

Lauren Boebert: Talk First, Think Later

Congresswoman-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert has been one of the leading voices in Colorado parroting President Trump’s numerous fact-free claims of election fraud. Not that she actually understands any of what she is saying. Take a look at what Boebert Tweeted this afternoon before deleting it less than an hour later — after many comments like […]

Where Are The GOP “Law And Order” Hand Wringers Now?

Eugene Scott writes for the Washington Post, and there’s a local corollary to the moral of his story: President Trump and many other Republican officials spent much of this year characterizing anti-racism protesters as “violent demonstrators” who put the safety of Americans at risk. But this past weekend’s gatherings of Trump supporters backing the president’s […]

BREAKING: Trump Coup SCOTUS “Hail Mary” Fails

UPDATE: Reactions starting to come in, and Rep. Lauren Boebert isn’t going to let some silly U.S. Supreme Court tell her what’s what: I told the president to keep fighting & use every bit of authority our Constitution grants. The Supreme Court does not decide the winner of the election. Congress does. pic.twitter.com/vM8nRTPsOF — Lauren […]
