As the Washington Post’s Jacqueline Alemany reported this morning, newly-elected Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson broke some tough but long-due news this week to members of his caucus who have spent the year determined to impeach President Joe Biden with or (as it turns out) without evidence: it’s not happening. In a closed-door […]
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 […]
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into […]
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 […]
We thought about doing a “Winners and Losers” post after yesterday’s election results, but we could have just listed “Republicans” in the “Losers” section and called it a day. The 2023 election was again a pretty terrible night to be a right-wing conservative — not just In Colorado but across the country — and produced […]
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 […]
“A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small.” –Donald Rumsfeld
As Joyce Cutler reports for Bloomberg Law News, former University of Colorado Benson Center Visiting Conservative Scholar and currently retained attorney for the Colorado Republican Party John Eastman had another very bad career day, with a California State Bar Court judge issuing a preliminary ruling in the case seeking Eastman’s disbarment for his role in […]
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 […]
Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) announced today that he would not seek a sixth term in 2024, which is something that we predicted both on Colorado Pols and the Get More Smarter Podcast in early August. Buck had apparently grown weary of complaining about things, taking multiple positions on every issue, and then contributing absolutely nothing […]
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. […]
Denver7’s Óscar Contreras reports on the sentence handed down yesterday to Jacob Travis Clark of Colorado Springs, once proud to have been one of the first to make his way into the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 with the intent of taking control of the building and thus preventing the certification by Congress of […]
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 […]
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, […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, as U.S. House Republican aspirations of selecting a new speaker and thus getting back to the pressing business of running the country collapsed in yet another heap of chaos and despair last Friday, one of the prime movers in the political destabilization that has resulted in the longest-running […]
