As we noted last week, convicted ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is in what can be best described as a state of wholesale denial after being found guilty one week ago today on 7 of 10 counts related to her plot to allow unauthorized conspirators access to Dominion Voting Systems equipment in a failed attempt […]
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 […]
UPDATE: An eagle-eyed reader pointed out that the statue featured prominently in the “Second Amendment Caucus” logo is no longer in that spot in front of the State Capitol. That statue, which depicted a Civil War soldier who was part of the First Colorado Cavalry unit that took part in the infamous “Sand Creek Massacre,” […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s official, Colorado lawmakers are headed back to class along with the kids later this August, with the goal of saving the state’s schools and local governments from the threat of two ill-advised far-right ballot measures: Colorado Public Radio reports Gov. Jared Polis won’t be signing any compromise without confirmation that controversial Initiatives […]
As Hannah Metzger reports for Westword, former Centennial Institute director turned right-wing radio host Jeff Hunt has struck a blow for political expression inside the Colorado Capitol building, forcing a rule change to allow spectators in the House and Senate galleries to wear their viewpoint on their literal sleeves: Seventeen months after Jeff Hunt was […]
We’ve been discussing in this space what it means when Republican politicians try to couch their positions on abortion rights by saying that such decisions should be left “up to the states.” For Republicans such as Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Gabe-ish Evans [pictured], a candidate for Congress in CO-08, this is a way of […]
Sometimes, to paraphrase the old saying, the content writes itself–like this announcement for a “garden party pot luck meet and greet” event for Rep. Lauren Boebert coming up early next month at the no-doubt lovely home of Evelyn Zur at Parker’s swank Pinery Country Club: It looks to us like this could be a photo […]
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” –Maya Angelou
As 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark reports, another head-on collision between online conservative mythmaking and reality is playing out in Aurora, where the city’s nominally nonpartisan but de facto Republican-controlled city government under Mayor Mike Coffman is dealing with a run-down apartment building which has been hyped into some kind of international gangster “no-go zone” by conservative […]
On its face, this was just another incendiary Tweet from Colorado’s patron saint of incendiary Tweeting, Rep. Lauren Boebert: But as Natalie Musumeci reports for Business Insider, unlike most of Boebert’s social media firehose spray of attention-seeking vitriol, it was possible to determine exactly where the Congresswoman from Rifle Windsor was at the time of […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports, following up the testimony of former Mesa County deputy clerk Belinda Knisley against indicted ex-Clerk Tina Peters in her trial on felony identity theft and official misconduct charges, another former subordinate of Peters’ who like Knisley took a plea bargain for reduced charges in exchange for testifying against her former […]
Here’s an invite to a fundraiser in Aspen this Saturday so exclusive that as soon as it was discovered on the website of the Orange County, California GOP, it was swiftly removed from view. And don’t worry about actually attending, the event is reportedly already sold out: Generally speaking, when the minimum ask for dinner […]
The trial of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on multiple felony counts stemming from the illegal access and theft of data from Dominion Voting Machines equipment in her care back in 2021 heard testimony yesterday from Peters’ former chief deputy clerk Belinda Knisley, who accepted a plea agreement almost two years ago in this […]
UPDATE #2: The Trump campaign is perplexed at how to respond: —– UPDATE: Colorado’s Gov. Jared Polis thumbs-ups the selection of fellow Gov. Tim Walz to serve as Vice President after humorously level-setting his own chances of being picked last month: With a proven Governor on Kamala Harris’s ticket, the path to victory is now even […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder After more than a decade of public service, Colorado Springs Republican Mark Waller has not been an elected official for over three years, and given his party’s current state of chaos, that suits him just fine. The former house minority leader served in the […]
As the Washington Post’s Yvonne Wingett Sanchez reports, suspended Colorado lawyer and convicted felon Jenna Ellis has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in Arizona in the indictment against a number of officials from Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign and conspiring Arizona Republicans, in the plot to replace the legal electors in that state with a slate […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…Ian is out of town volunteering at a no-kill aardvark shelter, so Christy Powell is here to save Jason from talking to himself. Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has changed EVERYTHING and Donald Trump’s campaign is falling apart. It’s been a wild few weeks. Former Mesa County […]
A new and heavily misinformed front in the ongoing debate over gender identity and sports opened this week at the Olympic Games in Paris, when a female Algerian boxer widely misidentified as “transgender” easily defeated an Italian female boxer, leading to a fresh round of allegations that “woke culture” was allowing “men to play in […]
The pratfalls and misadventures of the Colorado Republican Party have been a key storyline throughout the 2024 election cycle. The infighting that has consumed the Colorado GOP for more than a year isn’t letting up despite the fact that ballots drop in Colorado in about 10 weeks. Candidates and campaigns are now speaking out more […]
Colorado Republicans are, in a word, absurd. If you follow politics at all in Colorado, you are aware that the Colorado Republican Party is in the middle of a spectacular shit show related to various attempts at ousting State Party Chairman Dave Williams. The fact that Republicans are bogged down with this nonsense with just […]
CNN reports from the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where Donald Trump appeared yesterday for a sit-down interview with three Black journalists that even on the Trump scale of incendiary shock value is difficult to overstate: a performance that would have ended any other political career, and although it’s not the first […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Nancy Lofholm reports for the Colorado Sun: Outside the courtroom Wednesday, former child actor-turned-election denier and COVID-19 skeptic Ricky Schroder confronted reporters. He carried a Bible and recited prayers for Peters… In spite of being confined to home (except for her court appearances) and having to wear an ankle monitor, Peters has continued […]
The issue of abortion rights has been a real problem for Republicans since the June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade that removed federal protections for the procedure. Since that decision, voters in every state that have had an opportunity to vote on the issue — including beet-red states such as Kansas — have overwhelmingly […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last Friday Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans publicly called on his own state party chair to resign, and for the party’s central committee to vote him out if he refused to step down. GOP calls for Williams to step down boiled over last month […]
In the waning days of the 2024 legislative session in Colorado, both Democrats and Republicans came together on a property tax reduction bill to help Colorado families. This bipartisan group believed that SB24-233 would have the side benefit of preventing two different property tax measures from appearing on the November ballot. A Big Business-aligned group […]
