Lauren Boebert Pays Respect To January 6th Insurrectionists

1. Would it be too much to ask that Pols writes some stories about the legislation that Neguse or Crow or Petterson are working on.  Basically a few stories about people getting stuff done instead of this celebrity pig doing nothing of substance.

   1. Unfortunately, anything that Neguse, Crow or Petterson may put their names on will go nowhere unless it has the blessings of "My Kevin" and Steve Scalise. Which means anything more than the naming of post office building is dead on arrival. (And even getting the post office named will require the Dem rep to sell his or her soul to the devil.)

      1. There always are potential points of common interest in a state's delegation — for example, getting the Space Command left in Colorado.  All members can "work" that issue — without requiring legislation or votes.  And there may well be some legislation being considered by the committees where they serve that COULD be guided toward reasonable solutions by the Three Young Democrats.

         Of course, the top option below the Colorado Pols user names is New Diary … so someone interested in what is happening could, in all likelihood, be able to write up a summary of the work being done – or at least what is publicized in the newsletters, press releases, and tweets of the three.

      2. Being cynical is even more debased than what Ms Bloviate does for her kicks.  How do you know they are doing nothing when you know nothing about what they are doing?

   2. What LB is a Worthless POS said.

      I will add, she won by 546 votes last fall.  When everyone expected her to walk to victory.  Why?  Because the people of CO-3 were getting sick of her little shit show.  Many nominally Republican leaning people soured on her, making her victory razor-thin.   

      That should have scared her straight, but it didn't.  She doubled down.  The people of that district should be reminded of that in the hopes that it will induce a bigger backlash against that worthless POS in 2024.   Either way, ignoring her completely won't make her go away.

2. Those being held in jail are experiencing the benefits of

    * the US judicial branch created by the budgets passed by Congress (and structurally  untouched since “1990, when Congress expanded the circuit courts by 11 permanent seats and the district courts by 61 permanent seats.”

    * the jails funded by Congress,

    * the choices of those charged with crimes to NOT plead guilty, get sentenced and begin serving their time,

    * in several cases, the delays of the attorneys of those charged, as they apparently are dragging out the cases by various motions, and

    * (of course) the determination by the courts that those deemed dangerous or a flight risk should not be granted release on bail. 

   NPR’s ongoing tracking database now says

   • Number of people charged, federal: 994
   • Number of people charged, D.C.: 24
   • Number of people who have pleaded guilty: 541
   • Number of individuals who have had jury or bench trials: 67
   • The number with mixed verdicts: 24
   • The number convicted on all charges: 42
   • The number acquitted on all charges: 1
   • Number of people sentenced: 445
   • The percentage of people sentenced who have received prison time: 58
   • The median sentence for those who received prison time, in days: 60
   • The number of cases dismissed: 5 federal; 8 D.C. Superior Court

   Several of the dismissed cases have happened due to the death of the person charged before trial or sentencing could be completed. So, 608 individuals pleaded or have been found guilty — 1 has been acquitted. Nothing like any other tourist excursion I’ve been on, and the only other examples that come anywhere close are soccer/football rowdies going to an away game.

   1. I think this is a delightful learning experience for many individuals about how our criminal justice system works.
