The federal government will shut down one week from today as the clock ticks down on the Continuing Resolution (CR) that was the last legislative act of since-deposed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. New House Speaker Mike “No T” Johnson (seen here making what will likely become a permanent meme face) has been trying to keep […]
Here’s an email blast we were forwarded from America’s Most Vulnerable™ Rep. Lauren Boebert’s campaign to volunteers regarding upcoming “grassroots activist boot camp” events, part of Boebert’s desperate political revamp as her rendezvous–with destiny, not the fun kind–in 2024 looms larger on the horizon: The first thing you should notice here is the heavy emphasis […]
Last Thursday, as 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports, retiring GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck testified remotely from Washington in the Denver District Court trial seeking to disqualify ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Colorado primary ballot for his role in inciting the January 6th, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the associated plot to deny Joe […]
UPDATE #4: In Colorado, Prop. HH is losing and Prop. II is winning — both by fairly significant margins. —– UPDATE #3: By wide margins, voters in Ohio approve a ballot measure enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution…AND say ‘YES’ to legalizing marijuana. —– UPDATE #2: Big news to start the night for Democrats. Incumbent […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…it’s our Buck, Boebert, and Body Armor episode! Jason Bane’s powers of psychic prognostication REIGN as “KenSNBC” makes it official he’s not running for reelection in 2024. Remember, if you want to know what the future holds in Colorado Politics, tune in to the Get More Smarter podcast. […]
As we took note of last week, America’s most vulnerable Republican incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert has been the subject of a wave of political journalist “think pieces” analyzing in detail how her already-flagging campaign for a third term after winning her second by a mere 546 votes has been further damaged by “the Beetlejuice incident.” […]
Predicting political outcomes is a tough task, in large part because there are so many variables that can change in a relatively-quick period of time that completely upend the conventional wisdom. A few key events can take something that might seem like an otherwise ridiculous premise (like, say, Donald Trump becoming President of the United […]
Though you’d be excused if you missed it in the rush of news, yesterday in the immediate aftermath of Rep. Ken Buck’s formal announcement that he would not run for re-election in 2024 the first candidate announced in what’s expected to be a clown car of Republicans vying to succeed Buck in this safest of […]
UPDATE (FRIDAY): The executive director of the “no compromise” gun fetish rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) took issue with the cost of body armor that we found online. If there is a point to this argument from Taylor Rhodes, we must have missed it: —– [mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“We had the potential for […]
Seth Klamann of The Denver Post reports on some great news coming out a new budget proposal unveiled Wednesday by Gov. Jared Polis: Gov. Jared Polis proposed fully funding Colorado’s public education system for the first time in 14 years Wednesday, even as he unveiled a budget plan that he said signaled a return to […]
As readers know, this weekend’s annual Colorado Republican Party fundraising gala will feature as its keynote speaker infamous serial election denier and Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, one of the most ardent supporters of ex-President Donald Trump who argues to this day that both Trump’s re-election in 2020 and her own loss in last […]
UPDATE #2: Here’s the final Buckpedal: —– UPDATE: Via The New York Times: “We lost our way,” said Mr. Buck, 64, who announced his intentions in interviews and a video news release. “We have an identity crisis in the Republican Party. If we can’t address the election denier issue and we continue down that path, we […]
The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports from the trial playing out this week in Denver District Court, seeking to force Secretary of State Jena Griswold to remove ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot under the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause barring people who try to overthrow the government from running to lead it. […]
Over the past few weeks, the scholarly discourse that typifies Republican presidential primaries, especially in the era of Donald Trump, has lighted on a crowdsourced speculative inquiry into one burning question: Does Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wear lifts inside his generously-apportioned cowboy boots? Former President Donald Trump, who is the leading candidate for the GOP […]
Back on September 15, when the #Beetlebert scandal was growing in size quicker than Rep. Lauren Boebert’s date at the Buell Theater in Denver, we wrote in this space that the vaping and the groping and the carrying on could be the thing that finally ended Boebert’s career in Congress: #Beetlebert might well mark the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, there’s (finally) a new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives; while he shares all but one consonant with the new Mayor of Denver, that’s where the similarities end. MAGA Mike Johnson is a real freak; we discuss whether or not he can make Congress function and […]
(Down the rabbit hole! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Supporters and opponents of gender-affirming health care for transgender youth held consecutive rallies at the state Capitol over last weekend. Both included state legislators, advocacy groups and some counter-protestors, but that was where the similarities ended. After “Gays Against Groomers” (GAG), a national group founded just […]
Proposition HH, one of the two statewide measures on the ballot in 2023, has been generating a lot of media coverage lately — in no small part because there’s not much else to really talk about in this election cycle that affects everyone in the state. If you’re unfamiliar with Prop. HH or just need […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) had a nice time on Capitol Hill this week celebrating the election of her pal Mike “No T” Johnson as the new Speaker of the House. Unfortunately for Boebert these days, good news is often followed by bad news. In this case, another big endorsement for her main Republican Primary Election […]
(McPlagiarist musings — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis acknowledges that Congresswoman Lauren Boebert messed up in the Buell Theater, where she vaped near a pregnant woman, flipped off staff, and carried on with her date to the pleasure of comedians worldwide. But McInnis, whose demise in the 2010 Colorado Republican […]
What do you need to know about new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? Well, we’ll tell you in a moment. But there’s a shorter version of this answer: Congressperson Lauren Boebert is a YUGE fan of the four-term Republican from Louisiana. Boebert, in fact, stood literally right next to Johnson during his first press […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “I pick up the Bible in one hand, and I pick up the newspaper in the other. And I read almost the same words in the newspaper as I read in the Bible. It’s being fulfilled every day round about us.” – Billy Graham According to the New York Times, Pastor Jared […]
UPDATE #3: Colorado Congressman Ken Buck did what Buck does — he Buckpedaled. After pretending for weeks to be really concerned about whether the next House Speaker nominee embraced The Big Lie from the 2020 Presidential election, Buck just…stopped caring: .@RepKenBuck makes a distinction between Jordan & Johnson’s j6 involvement; however, he didn’t ask him his […]
UPDATE #7: Hello, “Square One.” Emmer already dropped out of the running to become House Speaker. Via The Washington Post: Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the House majority whip, and the third Republican speaker pick since the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), had been elected as the GOP nominee on an internal ballot earlier Tuesday. However, […]
Colorado State Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams has had what you could charitably call an awful first eight months on the job. He’s spent a majority of his time insulting other Republicans; sending out horrible emails and social media posts; and raising so little money for the GOP that the Party STILL hasn’t even been […]
