Gardner’s Annual Christmas Party Returns to the Brown Palace Tonight

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Senator Cory Gardner has been hard to find in Colorado this year.

Kirk Widlund: The Nazi In 710 KNUS’ Closet?

Brought to our attention yesterday though it’s been out for a few days apparently–the Colorado Springs Anti-Fascists, yes that means “Antifa” but before you pass judgement understand that this particular group has successfully exposed more than one local-area neo-Nazi via straightforward online sleuthing methodology, including an Air Force master sergeant at Schreiver Air Force Base […]

Warren Campaign Deploys To Colorado

A press release from Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign today announces the hire of a state director for Colorado and field offices set to open: Today, Warren for President announced that PaaWee Rivera will serve as Colorado State Director for the campaign. Rivera is a longtime political operative with extensive electoral organizing and community engagement […]

Silly Ethics Complaint Reaches New Level of Ridiculousness

As we noted last month, a still-pending ethics complaint targeting former Gov. John Hickenlooper is a complete and total nothingburger. But don’t take our word for it…and don’t rely on the opinion of the The Denver Post’s editorial board, either. Just take a look at what happened today when the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission gathered […]

Everybody Does Impeachable Things, Says Ken Buck

Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley), who moonlights as the Colorado Republican Party Chairman (or vice-versa), has been struggling to come up with a coherent and consistent defense of President Trump in the face of mounting evidence for Trump’s impeachment. While Buck has been critical of the impeachment process and protective of President Trump, he also hasn’t bothered […]

Colo GOP Offers Workshop with Pence Nephew, who ‘Manufactured’ Trump Rallies

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The political operative who orchestrates Trump’s political rallies, which are seen as both as hate-filled and wildly successful, is conducting a training for fellow Republicans in Colorado on Saturday.

Cory Gardner Jokes He’s Mad at his Ancestors For Settling in Yuma Rather Than Aspen

(Trading in that Carhartt for Columbia – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A favorite Republican meme, “the war on rural Colorado,” was jokingly stoked by an unlikely source today: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO). For as long as he’s been in politics, Gardner has cultivated his image as a farm boy from the plains. In speeches and […]

National Republicans Empty Couch Cushions for Gardner

You may have missed this story in The Denver Post last week about the half-assed re-election campaign efforts underway on behalf of Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma), who is widely considered to be the most endangered incumbent Republican Senator in the country in 2020. As Justin Wingerter wrote for the Post just before Thanksgiving, there is a conspicuous lack of […]

Today in BS: The “Pueblo Antifa” Brawl That Wasn’t

As KRDO-TV reports, you can’t believe anything everything you read on right-wing media: According to large online conservative news outlets like The Blaze and Red State, it was a member of Antifa blocking traffic in a political protest that was seen in a viral video being thrown down and punched by an SUV driver last […]

Just Impeachie: Know More Than Your Drunk Uncle

UPDATE: President Trump now insists that he definitely did not do that thing that he already said that he did: President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied that he directed his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to go to Ukraine and seek out investigations on his behalf, contradicting his own words to the Ukrainian President in the […]

Gardner Again Finds Narrow Audiences in Colo Visit during Senate Recess

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) spent part of this week doing what you might call under-the-radar campaigning along the front range. It’s been over two years since Gardner has faced constituents at a town hall meeting . But Gardner has attended fundraisers, invitation-only discussions with businesspeople, and small press events or gatherings, announced with little […]

Steve Reams Gets His Border Photo-Op On

It’s a rite of passage for Colorado Republicans aspiring to higher office to take a trip to the Mexican border (needless to say, well outside their jurisdiction) for the purpose of demonstrating their commitment to “stopping the invasion.” Back in 2010, a group of Republican state lawmakers made a now-infamous trip to Arizona hosted by […]

“No You Don’t” Have to Vote for “Weenie” Gardner, Says Talk Radio Host Boyles

Rick Perry Accuses God of Election Tampering

Outgoing Energy Secretary Rick Perry is likely complicit in President Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate one of his political opponents (which, of course, has led us to Congressional impeachment hearings), and at the very least appears to have used his Cabinet position to enrich his friends. If you’ve been wondering how Perry and other […]

Schiff: Impeachment Report Coming After Thanksgiving

As The Washington Post explains, impeachment hearings against President Trump will soon be moving from the House Intelligence Committee to the House Judiciary Committee: Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) said Monday that House investigators will transmit a report on Trump’s conduct in the Ukraine controversy to the Judiciary Committee shortly after Congress returns […]

The Future is Served! No thanks to Sen. Cory Gardner.

OK Boomer, and Gen X listen up too: Young people aren’t having any of the “it’s too hard!” whining. In this “season of gratitude” perhaps we should also consider a “day of mourning,” and not only for the theft and transgression, the original sins, at the root of our nation, but for the future we […]
