Gary, Lyn and Dee discuss goings on in Denver and DC.
Rank Choice Voting is moving in the Colorado State House. It’s through two committees already. Tax filing date has been moved to 5/17. Homeless people get a windfall. The Foreign Influence Act is progressing in the Colorado State House. Spain is going for a four day work week. Should we try it here? What’s Mom worth? Are we heading for universal pre-K? The FBI is going to be looking into a sham investigation. There were a lot of questions left unanswered in 2018. Will we finally get to the bottom of things?
Boebert speaks. What did she say? Tours? Investigations? State Senator Paul Lundeen is trying his hand at Voter Suppression. Did the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) give him this piece of legislation? With the best voting system in the country, Lundeen wants to try this? People of Colorado Senate District #9, vote this guy out! The Weapon of Mass Obstruction is trying to burn the U.S. Senate down. Senator Lindsay Graham says he’ll do a talking filibuster to stop the John Lewis voting act. We’d like to see the old windbag do it. Get the popcorn.
The B.1.1.7 Covid-19 variant is not too kind to kids. Parents watch out! Something else might be coming home besides homework. The Mississippi governor is turning down Covid-19 relief money. Says it’s “Socialistic.” What do the residents of Mississippi think of losing $600M of federal aid? One hundred seventy-two Republicans voted against the Violence Against Women’s Act. What are they thinking? Time for their wives and significant others to send them packing. Asian hate crimes? Bad news for the country. The gun in the Georgia incident was bought on the same day it was used. You can’t register to vote on the same day, but guns … oh sure. What could go wrong here?
