headline-grabbing misbehavior.
That article's author knew exactly what they were writing.
Seems they didn't want to jerk us around ..or did they?😏
It's incredible what can be done with the stroke of a pen.
Oh come on
It’s not that hard when you have the wits
yeah, this really blew up in her face
don't insult the intelligence of blow up dolls...
I was actually surprised I didn't see a bukakke joke first thing in the thread.
Is there a pun beyond "grabbing" that I'm missing? This is the Nazi lady with a history in porn, right?
Google "Boebert and Beetlejuice" and you'll learn more about the Congresswoman you wish you didn't.
Ugh, thank you... I guess. The vaping while in the audience watching a theater show isn't even the worst part of it, huh.
Definitely not.
House Minority Leader Mike Lynch ®
This will never not be funny to me, the way ( R ) gets translated to Registered Trademark.
a district where she has been a relative stranger.
Unfortunately she's not a nobody, she's been all over the news for years and she's a household name for both parties at this point. Even though she hasn't been part of that district I guarantee every one of the voters have heard her name and since it's a heavily right leaning district it's a toss up as to how they feel about her.
Yes, she's had a few scandalous news stories about her but that's far from a deal breaker for Republican voters, but she's been a hardcore MAGA nut job the entire time and Republican voters absolutely love that shit.
She had to change districts due to electability reasons, which isn't a good look for her. She is also going against a state Republican in the primary with deep political connections.
I can see the primary going bad for her, especially if Trump is off the ballot.
I mean whoever she ends up running against in the primaries (or general) will have a field day with "she represented her district so poorly she had to change to ours".
Let's hope, but the 2016 election taught me a hard lesson about counting chickens before they're hatched. I don't think I'll ever consider any outcome a sure thing again regardless of the odds.
The fact she's known on a national stage could work against her tho.
Fuck that white trash anyways.
You can just say trash, and not make it about race.
Ibram X. Kendi said something about this that made me stop using the term "white trash". Basically, the idea of the term is that "white trash" don't uphold the virtue of whiteness, that whiteness is goodness, and white trash are white in skin color only. Thus, using the term supports white supremacy, whether or not you realize it.
So thank you for saying something, even if it's unpopular.
I appreciate this comment.
Theres a specific flavor of trashiness that exists only in some of the most oblivious white people, usually at Walmart.
Don’t make obliviousness about race. And while I do agree it’s fun to make fun of “Walmart people,” there are plenty of trashy people who can afford to shop at better stores.
win at least 10% of support from the delegates at the Republican party’s biennial convention
Boebert's gonna need to bring some lotion.
Is that a burn or a handjob joke? :)
Suffice to say, might not be the only thing blowing in her face
She can always get into porn if the whole… whatever it is that she does–thing doesn’t work out.
State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R), another of Boebert’s opponents, asked, “Does she think we’re that stupid? Does she think we’re going to be fooled by this trickery?… Seat shopping isn’t something voters look kindly on.”
Well . . . Yeah. The CO republiQan voters are verifiable shit-for-brains idiots. It’s delusional to think otherwise, and that’s why I don’t think State Rep. Richard Holtorf is being anything but hypocritical here. He knows all too well what drooling, fox-news-mainlining, pinheaded chowderheads his voters are, and how they’ll fall for any fucking flag-waving bullshit like BoeBoe.
"Judge shopping, however, we're totally cool with."
Boebert will be joining an already crowded field of seven other candidates, including state House Minority Leader Mike Lynch (R)
Holy cow I had no idea. That's quite the person to run against. Is he the incumbent?
No Ken Buck holds the seat and is retiring
Why is mike lynch, who I assume already has a district, running there?
He is a state house rep, no a national house rep
He has a seat in the Colorado state House, and is running for a seat in the US House.
if only her car or microwave would take a hint and do the same
It seems as every time there is a news article about her they use a picture with her mouth open.
I think they're trying to imply that a lot of things have blown up in her face.

Lowrent Bimbot strikes out again.
turns out that running around giving handies at kids' shows while yelling transphobic slurs at anyone who will listen is no way to run for office.
Sounds like the perfect thing to do in a red state.
I wonder if she'll go back to being an escort?
The number of misogyny in this thread is too damn high.
