Acting like he's three and mom said "no cookies until after dinner".

(157 posts)Why should an insurrectionist be given preferential treatment? Let the courts (slowly) decide if she should be released early with "time served." You can bet that a newly discovered and completely innocent inmate would still be sitting in prison, waiting on justice to move at a snail's pace.
As for the Governor's stunt, he should own his actions. He has freedom of speech. He is also subject to the consequences of his words and deeds. If you give insurrectionists an inch, then they will be part of a successful coup next time.

(417 posts)Hes a 🤡 and been one for so long. Many Coloradans regret voting for him just like I do. We have to do a better job vetting candidates because he has and always been a rich libertarian that for the most part doesnt share our values. He used the party and platform to win but his actions during the pandemic told me all that I needed to know about him.

(417 posts)I keep harping on about the importance of vetting our candidates and most people think it is about Fetterman but it has always been about Polis. He is a terrible governor and has been for a long time. He looks out for Jared then cries about it when he gets called out. Hes the same guy that vetoed a bill passed in Colorado to give Workers more rights based on his own calculations.

(30,263 posts)he's a Jewish gay man, married with children, in a state that's home to Focus on the Family among a slew of other conservative/religious groups. Who knows what kind of death threats or other harassment he and his family were getting. But this is doubled-down trolling. No more benefit of the doubt, Polis. I regret voting for you when I lived in Colorado.

(3,430 posts)not saying that he didn't get them - but if he did, he wouldn't be pulling the trolling shit. Fuck him.

(25,622 posts)and got called out by a longtime DUer for doing so. Stand by what I said then and he's worse now with this Peters thing. Now he thinks he's "funny" trolling the Dems for censuring him? Just turn R already, Jared. You know you want to.
