Pete Hague-Seth and the Affordability Hoax
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the State of Colorado lost a giant after State Senator Faith Winter tragically passed in a car accident, leaving a huge orange and blue void in the State Capitol and in so many of our hearts. We remember a state lawmaker who wasn’t one of 100 lawmakers, she was one of one. Then, the Secretary of War Crimes is earning his new title by defending the wanton murder of random boaters in the Caribbean Sea...until people point out that that’s actually a war crime.
Then, Lock Her Up or FREE TINA? The President of the United States, who clearly doesn’t understand or care how laws, the constitution, or our Republican form of Government works STILL has thoughts about one of his election conspiracy lackeys who was found guilty by a jury of her peers in one of the reddest counties in Colorado for hacking her own election equipment trying to prove the big lie was the truth. Then, is affordability a hoax? This $700 receipt from Costco has thoughts. Later, a Republican State Representative says the quiet part out loud, in case you were still somehow under the impression that those folks were there to try and make any laws. And finally, we check in with our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado to see how the various obvious and falsifiable lies he’s been telling all year are working out for him.
