Seriously, this is, hopefully just a bunch of loony yokels. But what if this was a trained group of anti-government mercenaries? They could have taken out members of Congress with ease. Total breakdown by Capitol police. Don’t they train for this???

There are only nine days left to submit your application to serve on the Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission. Commissioners will meet people from across the state and learn what makes their communities unique. #copolitics #coleg

Colorado lawmakers need to re-evaluate ballot access. All it took was $1k, a few notarized forms, & 9 supporters for Kanye West to make ballot as an unaffiliated candidate for president — that’s not enough, & inconsistent with access at large. #copolitics cpr.org/2020/08/06/kanye-wes…
