AP reporting via National Public Radio on the scandal engulfing the Florida Republican Party as well as the nationwide right-wing movement of concerned Karens known as Moms For Liberty, as the Florida GOP chairman is stripped of his pay and responsibilities over allegations of sexual assault stemming from the failure of what the 1980s band […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast: Bidenomics? Bidenflation? Bidenpeachment? What portmanteau can’t we create with the President’s last name? Our 8th favorite member of congress from Colorado is living it up in the big apple! Has Lauren Boebert given up on winning reelection or has she just not realized that New York City […]
If you haven’t seen the business headlines lately, the U.S. economy is so bad that the stock market hit a record high this week. Twice. As Reuters reports: U.S. stocks ended firmer on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching its second straight record high close, lifted by optimism that borrowing rates will decrease […]
Notable news this afternoon from the U.S. Supreme Court, which has declined to halt the implementation of new laws in the state of Illinois to ban firearms meeting the criteria of an “assault weapons” as well as (Colorado readers take note) the state’s new limit on gun magazine capacity. NBC News Chicago: The Supreme Court […]
Everybody knows one. Every office has them. They are the people who make a workplace into a toxic environment with their words and actions (and microwaving leftover fish in the break room). The actions of one or two individuals can poison the culture of an entire office and make it difficult for others to do […]
As The Washington Post reports: House Republicans voted Wednesday to formally authorize an impeachment inquiry against President Biden in an effort to strengthen their oversight powers as Republican lawmakers continue to investigate the Biden family’s finances. The inquiry, which was launched without a vote in September by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), then serving as speaker, […]
When the United States Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v Wade in June 2022, it sparked nationwide outrage that cost Republicans dearly in the 2022 election and has continued to complicate GOP electoral interests in even the reddest of states. In the 18 months since Roe was overturned — thus removing national protections for abortion […]
As Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, add two more Republican elected officials to the growing number publicly refudiating America’s Most Vulnerable™ incumbent GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert in the aftermath of the “Beetlebert” scandal and announcing their support for Boebert’s opponent, Barbora Hurd’s husband: State Sens. Bob Gardner and Larry Liston […]
UPDATE: Colorado Rep. “CNN Ken” Buck, who has never made a decision that he didn’t reconsider several times a day, is now wavering on authorizing an impeachment inquiry. As Raw Story explains, Buck told CNN’s Erin Burnett that he doesn’t think there is any reason to attempt to impeach President Biden…but on the other hand, […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Republicans from Colorado to Washington DC to North Carolina, to South Carolina, to California, and probably everywhere else too, in between are a big, big mess. We ask the question on everybody’s mind, how the hell does anyone still vote for them? The rats are fleeing the […]
The Daily Mail first broke the story yesterday, followed quickly by the Phil Anschutz-owned Washington Examiner, of the latest questionable use of campaign funds by sophomore sophist Rep. Lauren Boebert–VIP tickets in August to watch her then-boyfriend and Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher compete in the arduous Leadville Trail 100 bicycle race: Republican firebrand Lauren […]

One of the principal criticisms of Colorado’s Tasmanian devil of controversy Rep. Lauren Boebert is that she spends too much of her time on wedge-issue grandstands and political sideshows like the half-baked impeachment of Joe Biden, and not enough time on issues actually pertinent to the people and economy of the vast expanse of Colorado […]
As you probably already know, Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) is among the more than three dozen Republican incumbents in Congress who are not seeking re-election in 2024. That makes the fourth congressional district one of the more interesting races to watch in Colorado — at least through a Republican Primary Election — in an otherwise […]
The Colorado Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments today in the case of whether or not Republican Donald Trump should be barred from the 2024 Presidential ballot in Colorado on account of the fact that he incited an insurrection. Today’s arguments are part of an appeal from a November ruling in which Denver District Court […]
UPDATE: Via Caitlyn Kim of Colorado Public Radio, the National Republican Senatorial Committee needs a proofreader: —– Republicans are in risarray. As The Washington Post reports, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is among a quickly-growing number of Congressional Republicans who are taking their “talents” someplace other than Capitol Hill: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the former […]
As the Washington Post’s Liz Goodwin reports, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville announced today that he is dropping most of his unilaterally imposed holds on military promotions, ending an impasse that had become a major bipartisan controversy as frustrated fellow Republicans finally joined with Democrats to demand Tuberville’s ten-month grandstand end: Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) announced […]
The Colorado legislature will reconvene in about a month (January 10, 2024, to be exact), and it will likely kick things off with a different clown in charge of the circus that is the House Republican caucus. The current Chief Clown is House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, but Lynch has been widely expected to run […]
The Colorado GOP’s new point man on election integrity, notorious election denier Ron Hanks, who kicked off his efforts by telling the Republican members of local election boards to refuse to sign off on certifying their county election results, escalated his rhetoric recently by calling Secretary of State Jena Griswold Hitler. He also convinced five […]
It’s an announcement we’ve been expecting ever since incumbent CD-4 GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck said he would not seek another term in Congress, as the Fort Morgan Times’ Brian Porter reported in early November: Jerry Sonnenberg, who served maximum terms in the Colorado House and Senate before returning home to serve as a Logan County […]

We told you this was coming. Early last month, we took note of a story in the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner, a news site owned by Colorado billionaire and major Republican funder Phil Anschutz along with local newspapers including the Colorado Springs Gazette, critically assessing the damage done to vexatiously vulnerable GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert by […]
For a keynote speech Thursday to attendees of a right-wing conference featuring major conservative and religious right organizations, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was tapped to explain how the conservative ideas explored at the conference “can be implemented in the Denver community,” and “how can these concepts work in a city as ideologically diverse as Denver?” […]
UPDATE #4: Rep. Lauren Boebert explains her vote, warning darkly of the precedent set by expelling a member of Congress prior to their formal conviction: Expelling an elected official without due process is an extreme measure and sets a dangerous precedent that I could not support. George Santos was elected by New York’s Third Congressional […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The chair of the Colorado Republican Party says he doesn’t want civil war, but he’s sees one in America’s future under two scenarios: one, if courts remove Trump’s name from the ballot or, two, if “they’re successfully able to keep engaging” in blatant election fraud (even though Williams or other Republicans […]
