A man shot through a window and broke into the Colorado Supreme Court building early Tuesday morning and caused “significant and extensive” damage in several areas of the building before surrendering to police, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

The man was involved in a crash about 1:15 a.m. near 13th Avenue and Lincoln Street a short time before he forced his way into the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, which houses the Colorado Supreme Court, the Colorado Court of Appeals and several other state agencies, according to a Colorado State Patrol news release.

This comes two weeks to the day after the state Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump cannot appear on the state’s primary ballot based on his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach and riot by his supporters.

Police were investigating threats made to the Supreme Court justices in the week after the ruling and increased patrols around their Denver homes following at least one “hoax report,” the Associated Press reported.

    Its the majority of the Republican Party.

    This is from CPAC 2022, the largest PAC for just generally promoting Republicans, had a bunch of prominent and popular Republican speakers as well as less well known and more insane ones.

    Its basically ‘Oh my god, he admit it.’

    They all kept joking about being Nazis, then got offended when people got offended by that, then doubled down to the point that most of them just became indistinguishable from Nazis, but have propagandized themselves so well that they think anything that is not them is Nazis.

    You can try and talk with some of the more moderate ones and they will not explicitly support 100% exactly fascist policies all the time in their little dream world of ‘my perfect candidate’, but they’ll almost always vote for a fascist over anything else.

      Joseph Robinette Biden’s specific job description is to pretect the US and it’s Constitution from threats of harm from forces both foreign AND DOMESTIC via his power as Commander In Cheif of the armed forces.

      Instead he keeps telling us to join together with them and find common ground because they are his friends and have been for a long time.

          Nobody is blaming Biden for what Republicans do, we’re blaming Biden for not calling a terrorist a terrorist.
