Colorado’s top import (by far) is Canadian petroleum (Suncor refinery). FYI if you buy gasoline.

Colorado’s top export is beef. This could be a rough stretch for ag.

Can't somebody do something?

Is our constitution this fragile that one bloated corrupt vulgar con man can take it all down?

I recently watched the documentary, TITANIC: BAND OF COURAGE, on PBS. What struck me most was that the families of the musicians couldn't claim compensation from the White Star Line as they were independently employed by an agency that then billed families for the lost uniforms after the sinking.

Here’s a crazy idea. Let’s make sure the proposed new FBI Director can pass an FBI Background Check.

If you voted for a man that organized a violent attack on our nation's capitol and elected leaders, I don't want to hear you complain about Hunter Biden's pardon.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."

I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.

The very same people that pointed out that Kamala Harris had no proof of working at McDonalds 40-years ago are just fine with no vetting & no background check for the highest and most powerful offices in the government.

Let that sink in.

The double standards are unbelievable.

The father of twelve children, who promotes families having more children, spent Thanksgiving with none of them. Instead, he was discussing video games with Barron and awkwardly bopping to YMCA, referred to as the ‘Gay National Anthem’.

Jean Rather, surrounded by loving family and friends and her beautiful artwork, died in Austin, Texas, on November 26, 2024. Her cause of death was cancer. She was 89.

My sincere condolences to Dan Rather and his family. 💙

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.

It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.

Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

100%. It's a simple, elegant plan for Elon and his cronies:

Step 1: gut the federal workforce

Step 2: secure a zillion dollars in extra contracts to perform all the functions you just gutted at a massive markup

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
