I grew up with the word "butthurt," which has since my youth apparently become somewhat controversial. It was not in our common usage meant to convey more than inappropriately hurt feelings. After deliberation I have decided to keep "butthurt." It just fits. I can't spare it.

The hard truth is I have been wrong about enough things lately that it really is time to shut the hell up for a bit. I tell other people to do this all the time and sometimes you need to take your own advice. This hellsite is the least productive thing any of us do. #copolitics

Look at this photo the clown is sharing with some text he thinks hurts Manny Rutinel. You just keep on sharing big guy. #copolitics
"They live in the suburbs and don't give a shit about this" I didn't think Alan was also dumb enough to fall for Manny's "these aren't the anti-ag enviro activists you're looking for" mind trick, but this is where he arrived.

One of the things that proved decisive this year was the active participation of issue-advocacy nonprofits in the Democratic primary on the side of lefty candidates who almost all prevailed. This was not without controversy, but if it prosper... And it did. #copolitics

I don't have to worry about cyclosporiasis because I eat overprocessed shit. First time that's ever been in my corner.

At some point people are going to figure out that Victor Marx is balls deep in the Charlie Kirk conspiracies that Colorado's Republican nominee for Secretary of State is obsessed with. Note how I'm not @-ing anybody. This will go kablooey in its own good time. #copolitics

Let's take a moment as polite bipartisan society and honor Barb Kirkmeyer's years of service. You know, like we just did for Diana DeGette. Yes this is sarcasm. #copolitics

I don't think Victor Marx is sane enough to understand he's the dog that caught the car. I assume he's got the same messianic certainty he's on God's path as Boebert at this point. And OMG the running mate. Who is going to be the sacrificial lamb? So much fun. #copolitics

They think they've got a live one, but most voters in #CO08 are not in the livestock industry. They live in the suburbs and they don't give a shit about this. Sounds kind of healthy if anything. Gabe is toast. #copolitics
🚨 UNEARTHED Colorado Democrat Manny Rutinel β€” who is running in one of America’s top agriculture-producing counties β€” says "the globe must dramatically shift away from animal products" and rely on nuts and berries.

Victor Marx is so amazingly batshit that you have to deal him out in small doses or people are just not going to believe it. This is actually the biggest risk, that he saturates people's crazy receptors so much they don't see it anymore. It's a Trump trick. #copolitics

THANK YOU, COLORADO. Because of you, your time, your door knocking, your phone calls, and your belief in something bigger than politics, we just won the Republican nomination for Governor.

This victory belongs to every volunteer and supporter who refused to give up on our state. I am grateful beyond words.

Now the real work begins. 

Colorado families are facing real challenges. High costs. Unaffordable housing and healthcare. Fears about unsafe neighborhoods and schools. 

Let’s face it, Colorado has changed, and not for the better.

But there is hope. We can unite and build a better, stronger Colorado for all of us. 

This isn’t about a single political party. It’s about a single, unified Colorado!

The general election starts now. Let’s go win it together. Victor2026.com

Victor Marx is Colorado’s Republican nominee for governor. In a statement Barb Kirkmeyer writes: β€œNow the voters will make the final decision in November, and I hope they choose the path that is best for Colorado. And, for the record, I still haven’t killed anyone.” #copolitics
