The governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, needs to hear from everyone how he royally screwed up especially as elections are right around the corner. He let an unrepentant, treasonous, traitor who was convicted on 7 counts and sentenced to 9 years in prison FREE after only a year or so!! He caved to this regime and that sends a detrimental signal and we, all the rest of us will pay!!! Front desk gov. office: 1-303-866-2471; Gov. Jared Polis, 200 E. Colfax Ave. RM. 136, Denver, CO. 80203. She is to be let free June 1st.

"This is the problem with sending a transactional politician into a room with a strategic one. "

Put another way, this is the problem with sending a clown who believes in the power of magical thinking into a room with a strategic partner who has done their homework.

I'm not a geopolitical scholar, but I do know a simple-mind when I see one. I'm going to imagine somewhere in that head Trump has a marble rolling around thinking something like this: A) Taiwan manufactures many/most of our advanced semiconductors and China wants Taiwan. B) Appalachia voter overwhelmingly for Trump,and Appalachia has lots of underemployed coal miners. Big idea: give China Taiwan, move advanced semiconductor manufacturing to Appalachia, where for sure those workers can be trained to make them (when they're not assembling iPhones), = Trump is a big winner.

Many of us in Colorado are deeply disappointed in our Governor! How has he not learned that appeasing a bully only guarantees more bullying!?? We've gritted our teeth and survived this revengeful regime's response for 18 months already and now he caves over this?!! You can bet he will hear from us.

Who knows what Trump agreed to behind closed doors with Xi. I believe Xi had him with ballroom!

Brilliant. Horrifying but so well presented that it would be difficult to not see clearly what Twump has become and in turn what he has done to our reputation as a nation. The last bit, reminding us what Tina Peters actually did, is the stink on top of the shit cake that is the story of America right now.

Maybe it’s the insomnia. Maybe it’s the still cool weather despite being mid-May. Maybe it’s the daily aches and pains in my aging bones. But I’m finding it increasingly more difficult to maintain hope.

What an absolute shit show one addle-brained malignant narcissist is making of the entire geo-political landscape.

If there is a light it is that Canada, where I call home, has slipped from the megalomaniacs radar….albeit likely a temporary slip.

"Think of it as epistemic vandalism with a government letterhead."

Trump is the living embodiment of one of Plato's cave prisoners.
