Ayyyyy, Mr Polis did something I agree with. For the last few months I thought we'd completely lost him to the dark side.

Same…was/am worried, but this was a glimmer of hope.
ETA: And I’m a bit embarrassed to say I had to read it more than once to realize “a brutal Russian dictator” didn’t mean Trump.
On that Edit, give it a week...
Your username says it all. But, yeah… sigh
Good. This is what I want to see from the states. Go over the Trump admin's head. The states can work together to try and make up for what is being lost. Foreign relations, disaster relief, etc.
Fuck 'em. We don't need them.
Federalism for the win! We really don’t need the federal government if we aren’t acting as world police.

Our once great melting pot would get pretty lumpy as the cheese starts to cool down and coagulate, though.
We will have a squid games-like show featuring two teams, each of red and blue state governors soon enough.
I don’t like everything Polis does but this is a great, well written statement. Colorado continues to get things mostly right.
Can States send money to foreign governments? Would be great to divert funds from blue states that would normally go to welfare queen red states.
