34. He has leaned right for corporations
Fri May 15, 2026, 08:28 PM
Friday

since the beginning of his first term, this second term was as a lame duck, so he could do anything he wanted and he took a hard right towards corporations.
After all he was raised in a large Corporate Family, and educated in Corporate influenced Business schools. He then had his families money to back him in starting a business...........

He has been talking back and forth with Trump for some time about pardoning her. She tried to undermine the voting system. She allowed access to the voting machines, by a couple of Republican Nerds. Supposedly to check to see if the voting had been tampered with by those machines......what the news never mentions is that they were after the Hard drives/software of those machines used in many states, not just Colorado. You can bet they were exploring the software to see how it could be tampered with, much like EIS? did in the 2004? Election.

Rumor is, that Polis is gonna back our U.S. Senator who is running to replace Polis as Colorado Governor, and in turn, Bennet will recommend Polis to fill out Bennet's term in the U.S. Senate. Bennet couldn't run a pop stand, as he proved in his only claim to fame being Superintendent of the Denver Public Schools, in which he made some major blunders.
We have heard previous little from him, Hickenlooper, and DeGette the entire time they have been in the U.S. House and Senate.
Seeing as Colorado is being targeted BIGLY by the Republicans, trashing on us every chance they get, you would think that those three would have been screaming their heads off from the rooftops.....NOT........they have said nothing this past decade. I saw where DeGette is already running campaign ads, like she has never had to do before......she must be running scared?
Bennet is running ads for Governor, and that is the first we have heard anything from him in forever...... Wonderful that he can spend his time in Colorado Campaigning, and keep his job/income as U.S. Senator..............
