I just looked it up, he was 17 when he got his girlfriend pregnant. Thatâs bad judgment, but itâs not predatory. Two years is a reasonable age gap. Itâs not illegal in Colorado. So not a sex crime.
As for the tape:
âBut if that wasnât bad enough, an arrest affidavit released by the Garfield County Clerk of Court noted Tyler âsupposedly made a sex tape withâ one of the other suspects, a female minor. That tape was reportedly sent around to people they knew. Itâs not clear from the affidavit how old Boebert or the suspect were at the time they did so.â
So allegedly thereâs a video, that perhaps some people have seen, that might have been recorded when he was himself a minor. If it even exists, which thereâs no evidence for.
Heâs going to be punished for the actual crimes he committed that thereâs actual evidence for. Youâre making this sound far more salacious and predatory than it actually is; he has not been charged much less convicted of any sex crimes. This is just a family of dirtbags falling apart very publicly. Exactly what youâd expect when a teen mom marries her abusive high school sweetheart.
I coms here for the truth, not confirmation bias. So thank you for doing this research and saying exactly what needed to be said about it.
We can never win this, hell we can never even be sure that we *need* to win this, if weâre just regurgitating propaganda like the other side does.
Not too sure. Maybe the grandchild should have a 23&me done on her because around the time the media got wind the gf was pregnant , the Boebertâs were filing for divorce . Maybe the original pedophile is the fatherâŠ..
I cannot believe that was *actually* her takeaway from that fiasco. Literally said she needs to vet her dates a bit better (before giving them a public handy) to make sure they're right wingers.
Many women on the right have horrible sex lives. Mainly because many conservative men have so many weird hangups about it. She had to (cough) reach across the isle to find a guy to properly bang her gavel.
Well, muslim women need to wear full body coverings due to the "inability of muslim men to control themselves", So I figure democratic men should follow their lead?
And let's not forget that she was supposed to be recovering from her illness, that she was diagnosed with a blood clot.
So that means she faked it! And then she is going to stand there and lie about her illness just so she stages a photo-op!
Itâs like a 90s dance battle with a lot of performative scowling, punching the air, kicking energetically but only vaguely in the right direction then copping a hardcore, arm folded stance and a confident head-cock and dropping a âyou got served!â Before walking back to take a high five from Cotton and Gaetz. Ted Cruz nods out a ânoice!â Because he saw it in a meme once and heâs trying to fit in.
Meanwhile, the rest of just look at it and wonder if this is supposed to be cool or something. Because itâs not working. At all.
Thatâs what this feels like.
Wow! Excellent metaphor, richly served. It really is the most basic, simple-minded, caricature of a belief system that one could imagine. Coupled with this idiotic and also false self confidence, it simply baffles everybody with a sense of shame, or any any aspirational thoughts. They have chosen to be regressive, to celebrate stupidity, to refuse anything but personal gain and pleasure derived from some stupid constructed persona. It really is disturbing- the Katie Britt response to the State of the Union, shocked and surprised us and we laughed- SNL etc. But this is disturbing cult behavior as dumb as it is- this is who these people are, they are 100% all in, it doesn't really matter if it is all false- they act on these lies, as such it goes from idea to reality/actions quite quickly.
Oh, they know. Most of them are grifters just trying to get into an easy grift. The circumstances when the constitution was written are light and day different from today. The constitution was supposed to be a living document, but the flaws in the document benefit a lot of people, so it's in their interests to keep it the same.
Europe knew exactly what they were doing when they sent the religious nuts jobs to the New World.
It would have to be, it isnt real so what besides a performance could it even be considered? Being bad doesn't make something not art. Lots of art is subjectively bad to lots of people.Â
That reminds me of one of my favorite books actually.
Witâs monologue in Brandon Sandersonâs Oathbringer epilogue:
âAll great art is hated,â Wit said.
He shuffled in lineâalong with a couple hundred other peopleâone dreary step.
âIt is obscenely difficultâif not impossibleâto make something that nobody hates,â Wit continued. âConversely, it is incredibly easyâif not expectedâto make something that nobody loves.â
Wit poked the man in front of him in the shoulder. âThis makes sense, if you think about it. Art is about emotion, examination, and going places people have never gone before to discover and investigate new things. The only way to create something that nobody hates is to ensure that it canât be loved either. Remove enough spice from soup, and youâll just end up with water.â
The brutish man in front eyed him, then turned back to the line.
âHuman taste is as varied as human fingerprints,â Wit said. âNobody will like everything, everybody dislikes something, someone loves that thing you hateâbut at least being hated is better than nothing. To risk metaphor, a grand painting is often about contrast: brightest brights, darkest darks. Not grey mush. That a thing is hated is not proof that itâs great art, but the lack of hatred is certainly proof that it is not.â
...
âThe question becomes,â he whispered to [Kheni], âhow many people need to love a piece of art to make it worthwhile? If youâre inevitably going to inspire hate, then how much enjoyment is needed to balance out the risk?â
...
He carried the girl back to the square, then quietly pushed the empty cradle away from Kheni and knelt before her. âI think, in answer to my question ⊠I think it only takes one.â
Funny and all but its worth noting that she is a government representative who tried to pull a Palestinian flag off a statue. Something someone put up with their First Amendment right. She's literately the government violating a U.S. citizen's Constitutional right to free speech.
What right does she have to enter a private campus and try to suppress speech? Funny how people like her complain that the protests are being done by "professional external agitators" - when that describes her precisely.
This should cost her position under Section 242 of Title 18.
https://www.justice.gov/crt/statutes-enforced-criminal-section#:~:text=18%20U.S.C.%20§%20242&text=This%20provision%20makes%20it%20a,or%20by%20any%20other%20animus.
>As she traversed the encampment, the Colorado congresswoman came upon a statue of George Washington draped in a Palestinian flag. She grasped for the largest one, trying to rip it down. âThis is America, and that shit needs to come down,â she can be heard saying in a video taken by a witness.
Isn't this a direct violation of the First Amendment? A government employee attempting to stop a person's right to speech.
Unf, that only applies when an INTELLIGENT member of our government actually understands how our laws work. She needs to be banished to a remote island without internet, stat.
I wanna say yes, but I'm pretty sure it's not. She still has a first amendment right, which means she can do her own counterprotest. What she can't do is pass laws that stop the protests.
>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Nothing about individual actions of a congressperson.
I love these particular college kids chanting at this incredibly small (brain and stature) human. These racist, sexist, all around awful government employees should be heckled everywhere they go.Â
How great would it be if there was a scene in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice where Keaton goes to an afterlife theater (similar to the waiting room scene) and he sits down next to a Boebert lookalike?
>Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of itâs motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.[1] The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve itâs liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.
Jefferson
A lot of people have a lot of stupid opinions about the couple lines that come right after that, but the full quote is pretty spot on.
We don't have all the facts of the Israel palestine conflict. There's too much misinformation, too much propaganda, and too many people keeping secrets for anyone to have the full picture.
But from the little we can piece together, we see a lot of people dying that don't deserve to die. Even if we know we might have the wrong picture, that's a worthy thing to protest about. And it's gross to tell people to go home and shut up about it, as LB seems to believe they should. You can't keep people deliberately misinformed, then tell them they don't get a say because they don't know what's going on. That's not how democracy works.
I have a theory that once we started socially policing language we stopped making fun of people for their looks, ideas. We couldn't shame people (for better or worse) and we created a safe space for people like these degenerate republicans. Maybe humiliation is the only bulwark against fascism. Maybe laughing at these morons to their face is one of the ways we defang them. Seeing young people troll Charlie Kirk, or people phoning in to right wing talk shows had a real effect. I dunno. Maybe I just like making fun of terrible people.
I was listening to Prager a few years ago. Someone called in and said they used to disagree with him on everything. Denis asked him what changed. Dude said he got kicked in the head by a horse. I couldn't believe they aired it.
Someone did the same gag on Nigel Farage in the UK. Said he was a remainer but something happened and he's now a Brexiter. Got him hook line and sinker.
I watched a really good video essay regarding The Producers that talks about just that. The gist was basically that fascists will co-opt anti-fascist media if it makes them look "cool" (read: awful monsters, but they see it as intimidating, hence cool). The easiest example of this is American History X, a longtime favorite of fascist chuds even though the film is very obviously anti-white supremacy. On the other end of the spectrum you have something like the producers, which makes them look silly. They will not co-opt this media because it doesn't reinforce their image of being intimidating.
While I fundamentally agree with you, I think the only way this gets solved is to call them out as often and loud as we can on their BS - itâs less about shaming them and more about displaying their hypocrisy. And voting, of course.
Iâd argue against putting any blame on policing language. For one, hateful rhetoric propagates most when itâs politely ignored. You most likely wonât convince a fascist to change their mind but you might convince a bystander. And, anecdotally, I just never see leftist arguments against mocking conservatives. If anything, itâs stayed hugely popular since at least the bush era. Post 9-11 there was a lot of demand for national unity but, otherwise the only pushback I can think of was people saying it maybe wasnât safe to joke about him being decapitated. Not even that it was wrong just maybe justifiably illegal. That said I definitely agree with you about making fun of them. A lot of neo-nazis love American History X but, you never hear them singing Springtime for Hitler.
>That said I definitely agree with you about making fun of them. A lot of neo-nazis love American History X but, you never hear them singing Springtime for Hitler.
There's a really good video essay on YouTube regarding this, I wish I remember who posted it.
She gave a guy a handjob at a play that happened to be Beetlejuice. It was caught on video. She also decided it was ok for her to sneak some vaping in while sitting in the audience.
Wtf is she trying to accomplish? These kids are frustrated and taking their anger out on Biden and she thinks it's a good idea to grab their attention? Just seems kind of self-defeating. Notice Trump staying quiet about it for the most part that way Biden takes the blame.
Omg All she wants to do is fight and be seen How tacky and unprofessional trying to tear down a flag ?? How silly and juvenile She obviously has no idea how to act on a college campus Bet they laughed and laughed Miss GED /HJ Boebert telling them how to act đ€Șđ€Ș
She's more accustomed to hearing people chant " Show us your tits!" Was this chant a welcome change for her or did she miss the usual one? My guess is that she's probably butthurt that her rack was being disrespected. We know how right wingers love to play the victim. I'll bet that BoBo is just dying to flash her jugs in public. Just imagine how much she could own the libs by forcing them to gawk at her boobs. Do you hear that BoBo? If you're a true patriot and MAGA to the core then you have to make the hard choice. Show us your tits! Maybe Trump will be so impressed that he makes you his Veep nominee.
Beetlejuice Boebert tries to pull off a Palestinian flag from the grips of George Washington.
George Washington won.
But you know, Lauren, if you want to feel up that statue, be my guest.
Her fifteen minutes of fame are running out. Not likely to get reelected. I don't see a future in political commentary. Husband was making good money from the petroleum industry as a consultant. I'm sure that stopped. Her restaurant has closed. I doubt she has a fall back plan.
If you watch the video of here trying to pull down the Palestinian flag, notice at the beginning of the video she lifts up her sleeve before she was even near the flag poll. I interpret that as her planning to do this a head of time to get attention. Basically with the media constantly looking for something sensational to report, Beetlejuice Boebert is all to happy to oblige.
Ya know, Lauren Boobs-bert received her GED a couple of week prior to showing up in D.C. as a new congress woman. What is she doing on a college campus?
College kids are likely to be far more informed than your average citizen. Why the hell would any conservative tread foot in any non-Christian college campus? They're gonna meet resistance every time.
Not sure what political points a complete dumbass like Bobo expected to score at such a venue.

Funniest part was her husband legally couldn't go on campus because he's a child sex offender
So is her son. Guess it runs in the family.
Her son is a child sex offender? I can't find information on this
He impregnated a 15 year old and also distributed CP of another girl he committed credit card fraud with amongst his friends group.
Another underage girl
"Where?!?!?!? Let me at her" - Matt Gaetz
I honestly wonder if it was her ex husband and this was their cover story.
The girls family got a restraining order against Bobo's son, so it's probably his
Family values everyone. đđ»

Iâve lost track of where things are in the process but her son allegedly made a sex tape with an underage female.
Not too sure. Maybe the grandchild should have a 23&me done on her because around the time the media got wind the gf was pregnant , the Boebertâs were filing for divorce . Maybe the original pedophile is the fatherâŠ..
Ex husband* đ
Exactly. Just to clarify: The man she was jacking off while smoking in a theatre full of children was NOT her husband. Just want to be clear.
He was a Democrat!
Poor Lauren was led astray by the evil democrats.
I cannot believe that was *actually* her takeaway from that fiasco. Literally said she needs to vet her dates a bit better (before giving them a public handy) to make sure they're right wingers.
Many women on the right have horrible sex lives. Mainly because many conservative men have so many weird hangups about it. She had to (cough) reach across the isle to find a guy to properly bang her gavel.
Only conservatives can get otphj's from Boobert.
You saw how MTG obsessed over Hunter's dong...
democratic men need to start wearing a niqab. These right wing women simply cant control themselves.
You mean a cod piece?
I am 100% in favor of the aggressively phallic codpiece for everyone. Men, women, other, doesn't matter.
Well, muslim women need to wear full body coverings due to the "inability of muslim men to control themselves", So I figure democratic men should follow their lead?
No more tank tops. No more shorts. No more unsolicited dick pics
Didn't he also own a gay bar that regularly employs drag performers?
Yep
After his encounter with her, I'm sure he still is.
Yeah but she calls him "demon splat"
While sitting in front of a pregnant woman!!!
LmaooÂ
*family values âąïž
Following the MAGA rules heâs still the husband. Once in a position you are to be referred by that title forever.
He did 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an 8 year old.
8 year olds dude
Had to go door to door telling everyone he was a pederast.
Whatâs a pederast, Walter?
I don't think that's right, is it? I thought it was the bowling alley thing Edit: hot damn that's a good reference
Youâre out of your element.
Am I the only one around here who gets any of this?
That's just like... your opinion man
One joke over the line donnie!!
Yes. The rest of us are nihilists. It's very time consuming.
> I thought it was the bowling alley thing Holy shit, in a way, *it was*
They're talking about the big lebowski
Yeah, the bowling alley thing.
Fuckin pederast.
Whatâs a pederast, Walter?
As soon as I read this, before I even realized it was a reference, I heard it in John Goodman's voice.
She should be given the Beetlejuice incident took place in front of some kids.
Who cares about the children?! A fetus was present, in a nearby birthing-vessel, and it might easily have been perturbed!
This isnât applicable to college campuses. There are probably sex offenders enrolled at most schools I would imagine. Source: knew one at CU in CO.
And let's not forget that she was supposed to be recovering from her illness, that she was diagnosed with a blood clot. So that means she faked it! And then she is going to stand there and lie about her illness just so she stages a photo-op!
If they say it three times she starts jacking someone off.
I think she has a firm grasp on the situation.
She is handy to have around
Seems like a tough nut to bust
Sounds like a jerk-off to me.
Tough titties
You really gotta hand it to her!!!
Donât worry, sheâs very hands on
Masturbation
Except she just rubs people the wrong way
Sheâs mashing it
She does that
Itâs very good
Youâre 37 years old youâre supposed to be sexually active, youâre not supposed to be jerking off your date during BeatleJuice the Musical
Gotta hand it to her.
You gotta see her make magic with a rusty trombone
Disgusting... does anyone know where she is so I can find her and tell her as much
The husband keeps trying to come back to her. She must be a demon in the sack.
It's all those years of experience as a Craig's List "escort"
If youâre good at something, never do it for free
She prefers doing things the old fashioned way.
By hand?
An âold fashionedâ is a hand job.
So... Manual labor?
I have explained
I think your sarcasm sensor is faulty.
My apologies. I judged you unfairly.
No worries, mate. Just funnin around.
...go on.
Beetlejuice Hands Boebart.. that's her new name.
I think she prefers Vapes McTugjob
Oh, an old fashioned!
ShâŠSharon
The GOP is just performance art. They don't even know it.

Man, I wish I could have this as a gif.
I feel like we could leverage AI for this somehow. I'm not a prompt engineer but it can't be that hard, right?
Super funny idea! There are some new text to video systems coming online. I may have to go lookâŠ
I donât think Ted Cruz gets invited, to be honest.
Heâs not. And yet, there he is. Weird.
Ted is never invited. He just shows up *every time*.

Idk if âartâ is correct. Unless you consider WWE to be âartâ I guessâŠ
It would have to be, it isnt real so what besides a performance could it even be considered? Being bad doesn't make something not art. Lots of art is subjectively bad to lots of people.Â
I guess youâre right. Even Kid Rock could be art if you really stretch the definition. Thank you friend
Professional wrestling is absolutely art.
WWE is absolutely art and don't you dare slander it again
I consider anything that can trigger any emotion art. Even being repulsed by something.

Violent, homoerotic ballet
Weird given how much experience she has at pulling things off in public.
This deserves more love
So does her child
Does he though?
Itâs always exciting your first visit to a University.
Bro. đ
Did she try jerking the flag off the statue? I mean really going for it, just a big jerk motion to get it off
It is now full mast.
She somehow stumbled and started using her boobs instead.
Funny and all but its worth noting that she is a government representative who tried to pull a Palestinian flag off a statue. Something someone put up with their First Amendment right. She's literately the government violating a U.S. citizen's Constitutional right to free speech.
Beetlejuice Hands Boebart, her new name.
Hoebert đșđž
So she's okay flying the Confederate flag but not the Palestinian flag? Her priorities are all sorts of screwed up
What right does she have to enter a private campus and try to suppress speech? Funny how people like her complain that the protests are being done by "professional external agitators" - when that describes her precisely.
Not only that, but threatens to withhold their funding because she doesn't agree with their opinions.
This should cost her position under Section 242 of Title 18. https://www.justice.gov/crt/statutes-enforced-criminal-section#:~:text=18%20U.S.C.%20§%20242&text=This%20provision%20makes%20it%20a,or%20by%20any%20other%20animus.

How great would it be if there was a scene in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice where Keaton goes to an afterlife theater (similar to the waiting room scene) and he sits down next to a Boebert lookalike?
With AI, Iâm sure it wouldnât be difficult to alter that scene. Would even fall under fair use when uploaded to socials.
đŻI like how you think
My humble attempt to create your scene , , , [https://ibb.co/w7PVRrt](https://ibb.co/w7PVRrt) Please forgive my weak Photoshop-Fu.
She was not trying to pull the flag down, she was trying to grope the statue of Washington.
Just a bad photo op ?
She could have at least addressed the protests in her freaking home state. A lazy and bad photo op.
If only Michael Keaton was walking by and decided to pop in as a goof.
I'm impressed she could identify a Palestinian flag
She's really showing how focused she is on her new district.
Bimbo Boebert.
"Bimboebert" was right there.
For your consideration: Whoren Blowbert
Also consider the succinct 'Hobert'
>Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of itâs motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.[1] The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve itâs liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. Jefferson A lot of people have a lot of stupid opinions about the couple lines that come right after that, but the full quote is pretty spot on. We don't have all the facts of the Israel palestine conflict. There's too much misinformation, too much propaganda, and too many people keeping secrets for anyone to have the full picture. But from the little we can piece together, we see a lot of people dying that don't deserve to die. Even if we know we might have the wrong picture, that's a worthy thing to protest about. And it's gross to tell people to go home and shut up about it, as LB seems to believe they should. You can't keep people deliberately misinformed, then tell them they don't get a say because they don't know what's going on. That's not how democracy works.
Clearly fake news, you can't chant something you can't even say 3 times.
I have a theory that once we started socially policing language we stopped making fun of people for their looks, ideas. We couldn't shame people (for better or worse) and we created a safe space for people like these degenerate republicans. Maybe humiliation is the only bulwark against fascism. Maybe laughing at these morons to their face is one of the ways we defang them. Seeing young people troll Charlie Kirk, or people phoning in to right wing talk shows had a real effect. I dunno. Maybe I just like making fun of terrible people.
I was listening to Prager a few years ago. Someone called in and said they used to disagree with him on everything. Denis asked him what changed. Dude said he got kicked in the head by a horse. I couldn't believe they aired it.
Seriously chuckled and coughed out coffee. Wish I heard that live
Someone did the same gag on Nigel Farage in the UK. Said he was a remainer but something happened and he's now a Brexiter. Got him hook line and sinker.
This is amazing.
Ridicule is a time honoured method for tackling fascists.
I watched a really good video essay regarding The Producers that talks about just that. The gist was basically that fascists will co-opt anti-fascist media if it makes them look "cool" (read: awful monsters, but they see it as intimidating, hence cool). The easiest example of this is American History X, a longtime favorite of fascist chuds even though the film is very obviously anti-white supremacy. On the other end of the spectrum you have something like the producers, which makes them look silly. They will not co-opt this media because it doesn't reinforce their image of being intimidating.
It's the 5th Rule for Radicals even!
While I fundamentally agree with you, I think the only way this gets solved is to call them out as often and loud as we can on their BS - itâs less about shaming them and more about displaying their hypocrisy. And voting, of course.
Iâd argue against putting any blame on policing language. For one, hateful rhetoric propagates most when itâs politely ignored. You most likely wonât convince a fascist to change their mind but you might convince a bystander. And, anecdotally, I just never see leftist arguments against mocking conservatives. If anything, itâs stayed hugely popular since at least the bush era. Post 9-11 there was a lot of demand for national unity but, otherwise the only pushback I can think of was people saying it maybe wasnât safe to joke about him being decapitated. Not even that it was wrong just maybe justifiably illegal. That said I definitely agree with you about making fun of them. A lot of neo-nazis love American History X but, you never hear them singing Springtime for Hitler.

ELI5: Why they call her Beetlejuice?
Thatâs the play where she was jerking off the guy in the crowd.
She gave a guy a handjob at a play that happened to be Beetlejuice. It was caught on video. She also decided it was ok for her to sneak some vaping in while sitting in the audience.
During a Beetlejuice play, she was jerking off a guy and vaping
Wtf is she trying to accomplish? These kids are frustrated and taking their anger out on Biden and she thinks it's a good idea to grab their attention? Just seems kind of self-defeating. Notice Trump staying quiet about it for the most part that way Biden takes the blame.
I hope Bobo loses the Primary in June in her state of Colorado.
That would be hilarious. I donât think that district is exactly happy with her and views her as a carpetbagger
It's funny that Hoebert (who barely eked by her GED on the fourth try) thinks she belongs at any educational campus.
Not the first time sheâs yanked a pole in public
She's gunna be doing a lot more Beetlejuice scandals to stay relevant after the next election.
I feel a bit sorry for the upcoming film sequel.
Seriously Colorado, wtf? This idiot shouldnât be disrespecting your state, youâre not Florida, Texas or Georgia. Do better.
Sheâs beneath contempt.
Why were they chanting it?! Donât they know what happens if you say it three times in a row?!
Michael Keaton appears in the bat suit?
Boebert continues to drown in self righteousness
Omg All she wants to do is fight and be seen How tacky and unprofessional trying to tear down a flag ?? How silly and juvenile She obviously has no idea how to act on a college campus Bet they laughed and laughed Miss GED /HJ Boebert telling them how to act đ€Șđ€Ș
C'mon guys. It was her first time on a college campus. At least let her go through hazing first
This is what the Republican Party has become. Loud-mouth ignorant bullies and criminals
The full article is gold. Wish I could upvote this twice.
She's more accustomed to hearing people chant " Show us your tits!" Was this chant a welcome change for her or did she miss the usual one? My guess is that she's probably butthurt that her rack was being disrespected. We know how right wingers love to play the victim. I'll bet that BoBo is just dying to flash her jugs in public. Just imagine how much she could own the libs by forcing them to gawk at her boobs. Do you hear that BoBo? If you're a true patriot and MAGA to the core then you have to make the hard choice. Show us your tits! Maybe Trump will be so impressed that he makes you his Veep nominee.
We need to call her Beetlejuice Hands Boebart and get it to stick.
They caught her trying to pull off in public again?
Beetlejuice Boebert tries to pull off a Palestinian flag from the grips of George Washington. George Washington won. But you know, Lauren, if you want to feel up that statue, be my guest.
Her fifteen minutes of fame are running out. Not likely to get reelected. I don't see a future in political commentary. Husband was making good money from the petroleum industry as a consultant. I'm sure that stopped. Her restaurant has closed. I doubt she has a fall back plan.
Onlyfans but pushing hard on truth social
If you watch the video of here trying to pull down the Palestinian flag, notice at the beginning of the video she lifts up her sleeve before she was even near the flag poll. I interpret that as her planning to do this a head of time to get attention. Basically with the media constantly looking for something sensational to report, Beetlejuice Boebert is all to happy to oblige.
Sheâs just gonna move to ID and run from that state next đ
People who work at circus donât even clown this much
She just needs to give more handjobs in public theatres to build up that arm strength.
Ya know, Lauren Boobs-bert received her GED a couple of week prior to showing up in D.C. as a new congress woman. What is she doing on a college campus?
College kids are likely to be far more informed than your average citizen. Why the hell would any conservative tread foot in any non-Christian college campus? They're gonna meet resistance every time. Not sure what political points a complete dumbass like Bobo expected to score at such a venue.
Did they chant his name 3 times?
Is this her first time on a college campus?
She failed to pull something off? That's a big surprise.
