This Governor needs to be gone! Shame on you sir! You just caved!

Tricia Zimmerman's avatar

It makes me wonder dirt did they dig up on Polis.

Katie Leona Rose's avatar

That is what I am thinking because there is no benefit in this for him except keeping some dirty laundry hidden from the public.

Tanzieschild's avatar

And the laundry will eventually see the light of day as it always does. Smh

The Russian technique that D learned from Putin is uncovering compromising shit on someone -Kompromat. He's used it on every republican and it's effing obvious many Democrats. Except Joe Manchin cause he was just always an a-hole saboteur.

Hes gay but who cares? He's probably done with politics anyway after being Governor. What fhe heh would make him capitulate?? Has anyone asked him??? His answer about free speech h sounded just like a MAGA....that was the tell. JFC....they're inside the wire & causing damage. Schumer & Jeffries are compromised....how many ???????

He is termed and apparently wants to go into the tech world after government so he's trying to cuddle up with the tech bros.

Hans's avatar

Nahh, he was likely promised a job in Trump's corruption.

Kathy Kelly's avatar

He started in tech and is going back to the tech bros.

Hans's avatar

Nah.. He was just promised a lucrative job in Trump's corruption.

Thankfully Polis is term limited. Also, Colorado Democrats stood up and censored him.

Michele Baxter's avatar

The Democrats have to stop playing Mr Goodguy! It gets us no where with our constituents who think we are weak and everywhere with MAGA ! Sometimes you just have to get down and dirty to show that you are not going let them win!! you want Trump and his goodies out then you have to fight harder!

Darnell Bush's avatar

Someone mentioned about Democrats needing to stop playing Mr Good Guy I totally agree, they need to treat fire with fire Democrats are two passive for me the message although they are lies from the Right is the chatter the noise that's loudest. in the media among Representatives among senators Democrats need to be more vocal and start denouncing the evil coming from the Right

Katherine Coleman's avatar

Maybe the Democrats that are doing this are not as good as you think they are. There is evil in both sides. Remember that

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

Tell us, please. What “evil” is being done on the Democratic side that is in the slightest way comparable to what the Republicans are doing?

Sarah5150's avatar

It's not the evil they are doing to the country today. It's the evil or dirty in their past or behind their closed doors that they are scared shitless about being exposed. They (capitulating Democrats) could be saintly in their current doings, but it's those shadows that haunt them. And whatever this governor did will come out... Eventually...

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

Which is more important to focus on: the “evil” that happened in the past, or the “evil” that is happening now?

James Barrett's avatar

The .problem is with the MAGA GOP who hold a slim majority. The Democrats do everything they can but are outnumbered by the fascists in both houses. We need to change that in November!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Thank you for calling out that smug, disinformed "both-sides" shit.

Randy Kalish's avatar

The donors become them, electorate sheep, no sense of service except to power.

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

Sounds like the right, all right.

Randy Kalish's avatar

The U.S. is an oligarchy under which serve the political parties to affect democracy in the mind of the electorate.

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

Your false equivalence indicates complete political ignorance. The Democratic Party pursues a more democratic society and less control by oligarchs. For example, Democrats support a more equitable tax structure, less control of the media by the wealthiest, programs that support public heath, education, and welfare, voting and workers’ rights. And I can go on. The GOP does the exact opposite.

Katherine Coleman's avatar

There are evil people on the Democratic side. Whether you want to believe it or not that are with those who are keeping us from getting where we want to go, you may not see it. But do you want Israel here cuz some of them do a lot of them do. Why do you think there has not been any wars on our land? They back up Israel and they are there. They are just hidden behind the ones that are in the redcaps the new cops. It don't matter what caps you have on. If you're evil, you're evil, whether you're on the left or the right

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

Want to try that again in English?

Katherine Coleman's avatar

If you don't like how I write, don't read it and scroll on by jerk

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

If you can’t be lucid, don’t write at all. If you don’t want to be blocked, Grandma, don’t call people “jerk”.👋🏻🖕🏻

Katherine Coleman's avatar

And in November what are you going to say? Oh, we can't do it yet. This excuse and that excuse and all we're going to do is sit there and say oh okay. Really excuses are both sides of the band, not just the right. It's the left too. They have excuses out there. Yang Yang

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

And they also don’t control the Senate, and if they regain control in ‘27, they won’t have the 2/3rds majority needed to convict and remove Trump unless enough Republicans join them.

Katherine Coleman's avatar

I don't know what are they doing on the it's on both sides. They already said it was wake up and why haven't the Democrats done a darn thing on getting them impeached really it's taking this long all the way to November. Really that's bull and you know it and I know it

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

The Democrats don’t have control of the House and can’t impeach anyone until they do.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Keep explaining it cause they just don't get it.

Darnell Bush's avatar

There may be evil on both sides but I'm going to tell you right now there's more evil on the Right so what's the lesser of two evils Democrats are not trying to strip away Blacks voting rights and benefits like Republicans and this Trump administration are doing.

Katherine Coleman's avatar

Well let me see both sides. Have evil and both sides can be connected in doing this for that very reason. I guess we won't know until the end will we and if the impeachment never goes through geez I wonder why that would be. All they do is keep giving excuses. Put it through. Get rid of Congress. Get rid of The lunatic. President and JD is no better. He's just a loser. The whole Congress everyone. Why is it taking so long? Why can you answer that?

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

You clearly don’t know both sides or how or system of government works.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

They never do, those who buy into the Soviet propaganda technique of "both-sides/whataboutism" never understand how our gov't actually works, they just expect Dems to wave a magic wand and fix everything on day one.

Katherine Coleman's avatar

The government can run us over do wrong left to right upside down but the people can't do nothing. That's what it shows me

Liana Huey's avatar

Not to defend Polis, but this capitulation is hardly the equal to T's setting aside $1.776B for those who broke into the Capitol and threatened, wounded elected officials and police and others, and otherwise desecrated the building.

Declan's avatar

it's still an insidious action that gives a PERMISSION structure for enemy to subvert elections....what is more vitally damaging than that???? It's firehose of bullshit. (Russian technique) its ALL damaging I know.

James Ferioli's avatar

Very true. Democrats fight like the biggest fuckin pussies! That's why the majority of people who are Anti-Trump are NOT Democrats.

Eric Leif Peters's avatar

Um, no. Got a source for that?

Sqrl Nikki's avatar

“the decision by Polis to go to legacy media and cut out independent media altogether is a pretty apt microcosm for Democrats’ failures”

“if there is one thing I want to see change on the left, it is this impotence”

These two statements sum up pretty much everything I have been feeling for so long, even during Biden‘s term and even during Trump‘s first. HOW LONG is it going to take?? Thank God for you Brian, and the other greats in independent media. Also, my first thought anytime something like this comes up is “they probably have something on him”.

Epttelle's avatar

VOTE HIM OUT! The PEOPLE need to put the screws to him so he can’t govern anymore if he’s not going to work for THEM - not a dictator 😡

Deborah Murphy's avatar

His term limit is over he done being governor anyhow

Pamela Williams's avatar

This is why the RepukliCONS are destroying our country… They suffer no consequences for their actions! Anyone who has raised a child will confirm that bad behavior is reinforced by the lack of consequences to selfish, childish actions!

Tricia Zimmerman's avatar

Makes me wonder what dirt they dug up on Polis.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Probably threatened him with doxxing by trumpanzees.

Rip Price's avatar

I thought for sure the Democrat named was going to be John Fetterman. I guess we'll have to add Polis to the list of traitors.

Nadine Roddy's avatar

That's exactly what I thought!

Doug Bell's avatar

I hope that Colorado Dems and independents make him pay for that. Its time to vote people like him out of office. There is no room for anyone that supports trump in this country any longer.

Liana Huey's avatar

He's term-limited, but based on this action, I doubt he'll even seek a higher office. If he does (speaking as a CO resident) he'll never again be elected.

Shari Bardash-Eivers's avatar

At this point, I believe our Constitution and democracy are simply performative. We are a fascist authoritarian regime and there are no real consequences for corruption. I am embarrassed by what this country has become but I have no place else to go. I have grown children relatively close by and probably only 20 more good years in me. I just want to be near my family, so I’m not going anywhere. But I also no longer take pride in who we are as a country and that’s both disappointing and sad.

Veronica von Bernath Morra's avatar

History will label him a traitor. KARMA is a bitch. Just wait till she visits him!!

Donna's avatar

It’s either some past dirt on Polis or it’s about money. Seems to be the only reasoning anymore. (Ex: Fetterman)

Phyllis's avatar

He's a multi millionaire, inherited.

Marion Murphy's avatar

Could not agree with your more! Shameful too when one lack courage even as one is a lame duck.

Gloria Mitchell's avatar

This is shameful. Did Trump pay Polis off? Polis needs to go, maybe he'll join the Rapeblicans.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

I’m sure the Governor will catch HELL for this. These people have no spine to do the right thing. This strong hold he has on the Governors in Red and Blue states needs to go.
