Colorado Gov. Jared Polis fires two clemency board members over Tina Peters commutation
If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
Again, I wonder if Polis’s decision to overrule (and now fire) the clemency board has anything to do with his apparent membership in Peter Thiel’s secret society — Dialog. bsky.app/profile/crim...
What an absolute creep. Impeach his traitorous ass.
The man made a douchey decision and he shouldn’t punish the board for this dickhead move.
I'm betting Polis lands a job with one of Trump's billionaire buddies. For politicians, jobs after government service are the key to cash in on their experience. Polis's next job will pay a million or more a year. It's corruption, plain, and simple.
It’s sad that this is how people will remember him. He did such a good job of navigating the state through COVID, but Peters will be his legacy
So you are saying people aren’t remembering this as “fondly” as he said they would?
Who paid off this motherfucker?
I met Polis at a LGBT Democrats fundraiser in 2012 in NYC. Pelosi was also there. Barney Frank too. Pelosi had a tremendous energy, wisdom, and warmth. Barney was Barney — slightly irascible even in small settings. Polis was a cold fish, indifferent to communicating. Up his own ass. Today tracks.
Piece of shit rich guy pardons an unrepentant criminal to please the unrepentant criminal in the White House. When it's exposed he fires the honest, hardworking people whose recommendation he overruled. Politicians like Polis are why Democratic voters are fed up with the party. Playing favorites.
This is a real Trumpian move. Gov. Jared Polis fired two members of his clemency board after they spoke out against his decision to commute the prison sentence of election denier Tina Peters. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
Jared Polis is a major disappointment!
So he’s not a democrat
He should be impeached. Just because! Yes, I know he only has another 6 months. It would be a bipartisan measure!
He’s part of felon Trump’s crime syndicate. Abusing power and people. No Justice.
I hope this jerk has burned his political future…the Colorado Democratic party voted to censure him, but they need to go further…kick him out of the damn party!
She committed a crime , showed no remorse and is still lying . Why did he let her out/off?? Everyone wants to know . He certainly won’t win any Elections in Colorado ever again.
What a huge disappointment! He is showing his true colors
Could it be Trump got the FBI to set up a "Honey Trap?" Something really stinks because Polis said no for months them suddenly set the bitch free.
A Republican in Democrat clothing….
What a piece of shit. There has to be a story behind this that I hope comes out
All of this…? Needs far more attention.

What the heck is the deal with this guy?
Rather pointless inasmuch as he's term limited and this is his last year in office. Moreover, legislature has concluded its 2026 session. Dem Party has already censured him. And he's politically dead in this state. No more time shld be wasted on him.
They got some dirt on him or a skeleton in the closet—he has completely flipped in the past 18 months—
He’s looking for the easiest route to getting his bread buttered. Currying favor and firing those who oppose him is the audition for his bona fides.
Polis is maybe in the Epstein files or dome file that trump has.
He is a pos trump enabler I agree he needs to be impeached he is a disgrace
In freeing an unrepentant Tina Peters, Jared Polis overruled a unanimous recommendation of thePardons Board. He responded to disclosure of this fact by firing the entire board. Polis is now at the lowest point in popularity since becoming governor—the Peters matter is considered disastrous.
WTF got into him? Trump has something on him that he was trying to hide. Michael Cohen said Trump has dirt on everyone.
I hope his career is over. He deserves to be cancelled.
This is why what happened in Colorado yesterday, happened. 💯
Every State has this virus.
like marc andreessen is absolutely the kinda guy who would buy tina peters' clemency
or like, maybe not the man himself, but the sort of rich assholes who hang out in these circles, one of them is That Guy
I don't believe Jared Polis can be bought with money, but there are other currencies
Wasn’t he literally in those Thiel group chats, or am I thinking of somebody else entirely? I know Booker was which probably explains some things
If it was a bribe I would be more understanding but I think Polis is just like that and has somehow decided that attempting to steal election records is free speech
They received a letter from the governor today saying they were being dismissed for violating the board’s confidentiality standards. “You breached the required duty of confidentiality by publicly divulging board members’ votes,” Mr. Polis wrote to each of the women.
Polis is trash. He's anti-democratic, anti-republican trash. He's just a wounded narcissist who doesn't want attention or transparency.
"You correctly made me out to be a liar and a fascist so I'm going to punish you."
Well, Polis appears to be corrupt too. Good thing Colorado is getting rid of him.
What does the regime have on Polis? Threats? 🤔 That was NO reason to let the STILL-unrepentant liar/election denier Tina Peters have clemency. Now Polis has fired 2 members of the board that 2x voted unanimously to reject Peters’s application for a shortened sentence. 🧾 t2m.co/3VwH6biE
And this is why when accountability comes for these people in the Trump orbit, you can't believe any sudden claims that they're "sorry" or "I didn't know" or "following orders." They can't be rehabilitated. They want to destroy democracy and will put whatever mask on needed to get away with it.
He did what Yam tainted leader wanted to do but couldn't so I'm sure he will be rewarded with ambassadorship position or something similar
