โ€œBurn it to the groundโ€: Rep. Keltieโ€™s political metaphor for a Phoenix to rise from Capitol corruption

As the legislative session comes down to its final days, one freshman Republican has harsh words for her Democratic colleagues. State Rep. Rebecca Keltie (R-Colorado Springs) in a Sunday evening interview on a libertarian podcast called her fellow legislators evil, soulless, and corrupt, before saying she thinks Colorado needs to be burned to the ground so Republicans can rise from the ashes.

โ€œIโ€™ve never seen a group of people that are so โ€ฆ for lack of a better term, evil. I feel it when I come in there. I pray as soon as I enter the building. As soon as I enter that room, I pray. While Iโ€™m in there, Iโ€™m praying. Iโ€™ve never prayed so much in my life. โ€ฆ I went in there with an open mind of respect,โ€ said Keltie.

The payments continued for some Coloradans months after their deaths because of outdated reporting and system delays, state officials said.

The new Robert De Niro show is elite propaganda

The year was 2012, and I was 16, watching Mitt Romney debate Barack Obama on TV with my stepdad, a log truck driver whoโ€™d raised me since the age of fiveโ€”and whose verdict was this: โ€œIt donโ€™t matter anyhow.โ€ He said it, spitting his Copenhagen longcut into a Dr. Pepper can. โ€œTheyย already decided whoโ€™s gonna win anyway.โ€
