While watching and rooting for Team USA in the Rio Olympics, I can’t help but think about the mad skills U.S. Supreme Court Nominee Judge Merrick Garland has displayed and that he could hold his own with our Olympians. (Maybe it’s just a hazard of being a lawyer that my mind goes there).
Opinions
State house candidate has trouble discerning fact from fiction
Republican candidates seem to be a fact-averse crowd, which explains how frequently they are duped on social media. Why would Coloradans vote for people or a party that passes on easily-refuted nonsense as truth?
It only takes a few seconds to check SNOPES and keep from appearing to be ignorant but GOP declines
When I saw it, I indeed knew it was “too amazing for words,”because it was never said. Whenever I’m wondering why the GOP would be so stupid as to post easily and verifiably false information, I remember that they have no popular policy positions to run on, so lying has become their campaign strategy.
Does Woods want Soros turned over to Russia?

What is Trump’s impact on races that will determine control of Colorado state government?
This is the moment for reporters to dig into Donald Trump’s impact on state legislative races in Colorado, and no races are more important than those in swing state senate districts, like Republican Laura Woods’ contest against Democrat Rachel Zenzinger and the race between GOP Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Doty and Democratic state Rep. Daniel Kagan.
Democratic Convention Wrap Up
Hillary Clinton’s substantial post-Convention bump in the polls was not a surprise to those who attended the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia. Having created a well-scripted Hollywood production, the Democrats seized the Ronald Reagan theme of “Morning In America” and, in a Jiu Jitsu move, took advantage of the Republicans’ “Nighttime In America” theme, trumpeted best by their presidential nominee, which posited the country was in decline. The contrast in themes was stark yet both have the potential to appeal to millions of people.
Colorado GOP Vice-Chair Derrick Wilburn gets a lot of things wrong
Derrick Wilburn, Colorado GOP Vice-Chair doesn’t seem to like primary sources. I had to click through four articles to find a primary source, and it turns out he is wrong about everything he claims the Department of Justice is doing. Click on the Swamp Thing icons to see how wrong.
