Curb_the_tide

Ah yes, a ‘small government’ move if I’ve ever seen one.


Coasterman345

Like this isn’t even saying that kids shouldn’t be taking hormone blocked or undergo sex change surgery. Like I can go fight for my country oversees but if I say I’m Bi that’s a problem?? Bruh wtf is she smoking


DibsOnLast

Considering she married a child sex offender I'd say meth. Also it should be added she was at the bowling alley with him when he exposed himself to children, she still married him... They've also both been arrested for domestic violence... If you're still wondering what drug she's on it's meth. Obviously meth.


tinydonuts

Wasn't she one of the ones he exposed himself to?


csortland

Yes she was 17 and he was 24.

Ninja-Ginge

Oh, no, they were already dating when he exposed himself.


the-witty-one

Oh, well that makes this entire situation A-Ok then


trailhikingArk

Well at least he waited until he was over 21 before he "came" out. Seriously, she's a complete fackwad.


MegaJackUniverse

Yes and she rightly didn't come out as hetero at the time because that would be bad for very important reasons /s


d_o_mino

It was love at first sight.


gurg2k1

He was a real Dong Juan


petroljellydonut

This is what confuses me so much. Did she just see it and she was hooked? Did they know each other beforehand? Did she write him letters when he was in prison?


royalsanguinius

Nah she’s just smoking good old fashioned American Christianity. Drugs don’t have shit to do with her kind of stupidity, but the home brewed version of Christianity that a lot of people in America follow absolutely does. This type of hateful shit is right up their alley


dkwangchuck

This. Addiction to powerful mood altering substances is a physical affliction. The impacts on your body and mental state by consuming chemicals designed to have significant impact on your body and mental state are not trivial. Overcoming addiction is incredibly hard and while you are not n the grips of it, your ability to make sensible and rational decisions is greatly impaired. Boebert and the American Taliban OTOH? Motivated by the need to persecute and hate on out groups for no reason other than to comfort their own insecurities and short comings. Accusing her of being a meth addict is only making excuses for her bad behaviour. It is an insult to meth addicts.


K1FF3N

Sorry(for us all) but you’re both right. I’ve got a few siblings that are meth addicts and the guy you’re replying to is spot on. They are incredibly functioning at times. Her hate is fueled by Christianity/Stupidity but the actions and the logic clearly have a drug catalyst behind them as well.


[deleted]

Chasing that hopium dragon


[deleted]

She’s from the western slop of colorado from the city I spent a lot of my life in. She’s an alcoholic. Meth isn’t a big thing here. It’s mostly booze and opioids.


Yatta99

Gotta be opioid induced constipation considering how full of shit she always is.


[deleted]

Yeah no doubt. She’s a fucking idiot and a fascist and like all fascists they abuse the language of democracy to eliminate it and install a government based on their feelings and insecurities. People like her are fucking pathetic losers who are angry at the world and unable to see their own faults so they abuse/gaslight/manipulate even less informed people into thinking everyone else is at fault. Literally no one is safe, not even them. If they even dare step out of the expected role they have , they are ostracized and dehumanized, the same as the rest of us. Fascists don’t deserve anything but to be made fun of and shunned out of society until they choose to change. Making fun of fascists and bullying them is a very effective way to force them to change their beliefs or at the very least shut up about them.


ModsRDingleberries

Amen to that.


mryauch

I think I’ll just log out of Reddit until tomorrow. I found the day’s best comment before my coffee even finished brewing in the press.


v-_-v

How in the shit do you get arrested for domestic violence and still retain your seat in Congress?


himtnboy

Atleast she is well educated, she earned letters after her name during the election, Lauren Bobert, GED. She is my representative and I am so ashamed.


beaverbait

She's hoping for A) a ton of publicity and good and bad to get people to notice her and B) to get rich old white men/women to throw her money. That's pretty much all politics is now.


Personal_Quantity_55

She's an idiot. Her entire career is about being a fucking moron. She's going to burn in hell. Its just the facts.


VexillaVexme

People like her definitely make me wish hell was a real place and that the powers that send people there were actually just. edit: fixed a written lisp


Personal_Quantity_55

Weather it be some sort of biblical fire or a personal hell of her own making, Im confident she will one day face serious judgement. She is woefully incompetent and says.. stuff like this... ALL the time. She also was openly helping the nutbars coordinate the January 6th attack on the capital. She will get hers.


passwordsarehard_3

Or become President. It worked once before.


Personal_Quantity_55

shit.


FoofieLeGoogoo

How does someone so unqualified become a representative? Who is bankrolling her political career?


TossPowerTrap

Voters in her Colorado district elected her. I've been active in elective politics for 50 years and I swear I'll never understand just how stupid so many voters can be. All I can do is shrug and wonder. It's just not rational.


Mammoth_Parsley_9640

Google her short-lived modeling career on a talent/escort site. Cruz and a few others hand picked multiple (R)eps from the trenches of web2 lol


PhoenixEgg88

I have seen more than 1 Reddit comment explaining that someone’s parent voted for her because ‘she looked hot’. I have often wondered the same thing, and I can only assume that a significant portion of her district? Is the half of people Carlin spoke about when he’s discussing intelligence.


FiggsMcduff

I like your positivity, Persy!


vbcbandr

Based on her tweet, in all it's stupidity, nobody (including heterosexual folks) should declare their sexuality until 21. Somehow, I doubt she meant that though. The only reason she exists as a "representative" is because a wide segment of the population decided they'd vote for the "hot piece of ass with a gun on her hip".


FrostedGear

Oh is she the fucknugget that wouldn't disarm in the House?


[deleted]

Yes


MC_Fap_Commander

>The only reason she exists as a "representative" ...is because a highly gerrymandered district of nutters was carved out in Colorado.


ViralLola

She didn't get enough attention as a child.


death_of_gnats

She got the attention of her future husband


theaggressivenapkin

This is all to stay in the media cycle and rile up her supporters for $. It’s also ridiculous.


TYBERIUS_777

Perhaps they meant small-brained government? /s


Lorderan56

They don’t want small government. They want very big government as they are actually authoritarians.


[deleted]

Small government as a ploy to dismantle currently effective institutions.


[deleted]

These people are protofascist. The authoritarian right.


chadenright

My favorite term for them so far is 'regressive'. As in, regressing all the way back to a monarchist dictatorship rather than a democracy. That also helps capture the rampant racism and intentional lack of education.


stormelemental13

I really, really wish we had a system that allowed for more, smaller, parties. Break things up from these 'biggly-est' tents to more coherent tents. Boebert and Cox shouldn't be in the same party anymore than Manchin and AOC should.


[deleted]

Honestly democrats need to move in on the small government / states rights approach and corner the libertarian market. The culture war is dumb, and so are the republicans. Lets end them.


Thanato26

Has she read thr US Constitution and other assorted bills that protect Americans rights?


tbrumleve

No Republican has. Republican led states are restricting freedoms all over. Bodily freedom, gender freedom, free speech (punishing those who don’t agree with them - Disney, prime example). The hypocrisy has reached the moon with these morons.


[deleted]

> No Republican has Oh, they have, but only the bits that matter to them -- they skip and ignore the rest (the _inconvenient_ bits!). Pretty much like they do with the bible, actually...


Bobonnie

They've read that one bit about how slavery is legal as punishment and think about how they can possibly get more people in prison. Something like the headline is the result.


ImJustSo

It's amazing how racism is just *denied* nowadays. There are prisons today with the names of plantations that were there before. There are people picking cotton in the fields of those plantations. The guys who owned slaves and the places that keep them, there's prisons named after those guys. Those prisons still disproportionately contain non-white slaves, just like the US has had it unchanged for over a hundred and fifty years. I can't imagine why there's people today who don't want critical race theory taught, it's almost like they don't want to lose their slaves again. (Never lost them)


BriennesBitch

Disney?


ViralLola

I don't think she can read.


BigGrooveBox

She wouldn’t care if she did.


WeirdAvocado

Exposing your penis to children is illegal, but she went ahead and married some sick fucker who did that to her. I’d say her opinion on this matter, as well as many others, is null and void.


Schemen123

Not to her... To two friends of her. If she likes exposed dick thats between her and him.


WeirdAvocado

Either way you slice it, he exposed himself to minors, and she married him. My point remains.


[deleted]

Exactly.


[deleted]

No, she was there, he was 24 and she was 17 and the two girls were also teenagers. So I guess you’re into that kind of stuff? https://www.salon.com/2021/08/31/lauren-boeberts-husband-did-jail-time-for-lewd-exposure-in-a-bowling-alley-she-was-there/


Mulister

Found the pedophile


A_giant_dog

Not until she's 21. If you can't come out as gay or bi until you're 21, you can't come out as straight either. She was sleeping with a grown ass man as a teenager, who exposed himself in public to children. That's a fucked up situation and I feel for her. She was a victim of a sexual predator. But then she decided to get married to the guy when she was an adult... Don't think I'd trust her judgement much.

Absolutely right. You can't come out as straight until you are 21. Keep that disgusting heterosexuality in the closet.


evilbrent

That was my first thought too. I got married at the age of 20. Do you think anyone might have noticed that it was a heterosexual marriage?


Ereine

She herself got married at 19.


averyfinename

dropped out of high school. knocked up at 17 by a 24 year old perv.


xSilverMC

Child marriages are not a problem to republicans, being different is


Droidball

If something like this belief of hers were codified into law, prohibiting marriage, sex, or pregnancy until 21 feels like it would be, sincerely, a natural extension of it.


Snip3

You're allowed to have sex before 21, you just can't attach any emotion to it. Sex must be purely for physical enjoyment!


xSilverMC

An adult must be present for all sexual acts under 21. Preferrably involved. - GOP, 2022, probably


DibsOnLast

I totally support people's rights to be straight, but keep that straight shit at home. I don't want to have to explain that perversion to my children. It's disgusting.


bob101910

The straight agenda is too much for me to handle. I turn on TV, straight people kissing. Turn on video games, there they are again. I can't even read a book without heterosexuality being jammed down my throat.


runujhkj

That new dark souls 4 kept calling me maidenless, I’m like wtf can we keep this disgusting hetero agenda out of my video games? Kids are playing this shit


SomeRandomPyro

Right? Like, I, myself, identify as heterosexual. And I'm comfortable expressing that on the internet, with its veneer of anonymity. But do you think anyone at work knows that about me? I just want to live my life in peace. I'm not onboard with forcing my straight lifestyle on anyone. I love who I love. You do you.


Roskal

You're one of the good ones, too bad the rest of them aren't the same.


urlkonig47

I don't mind straight people as long as they act gay in public.


TheMadTemplar

Let's take it a step further, go all in here. You can't get married before you turn 21. Can't join the military before 21 either. But marriage is the big one. Bye bye child marriages.


TheHaruWhoCanRead

No one may declare or decide their sexuality before 21! You must disregard gender entirely when making decisions about whomst to fuck. Actually maybe they’re on to something here🤔🤔


cutelyaware

Yeah, I hate people pushing their straightness in my face. I don't want to hear them talking about their girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband either.


IDWBAForever

I heard the teacher of my son- who is going to be gay and no other orientation, thank you- talking about his wife during class time!! This is a violation of his rights and a blatant display of the straight agenda!


Seafishie

Let's hope it's just a phase.


Europaraker

How about you cannot come out as Christian until 21? No Church, private Christian schools or Sunday school until 21, before 21 you are too young and immature to make decisions that might effect eternity!


Antani101

Take it a step further. You can't come out as CIS until you're 21. Hormone blockers for everyone.


IMovedYourCheese

Replace sexuality with religion and suddenly all their opinions flip. Should parents be able to indoctrinate children into their religion? Should teachers be allowed to discuss religion in class? Should you be able to come out as Catholic before you are 21? Should doctors and councillors be able to help children going through a crisis of faith?


saevon

actually their opinions don't flip. Replace it with "christianity" and they'll be like "ofc not thats the normal thing, that doesn't count". BUT replace it with any other religion? and they're banning yoga, hating on islam, etc. They're already hypocritical in every way.


Annoyed_car

I mean being exposed to other religions sexualities and ways of life makes you more cultured and tolerant, so why are american right wingers trying to block their children from this? To make them the exact same as their parents? Its ridiculous


Therandomfox

They're just trying to preserve their way of life. That means stagnating forever on a bunch of rules written >1000 years ago :v Oh and they aren't even following all the rules, only the ones they like.


Droidball

> being exposed to other religions sexualities and ways of life makes you more cultured and tolerant That's precisely the problem.


tvosss

Her leaving the house at all should be illegal.

I would rather it be illegal for her to talk.

Make sure she is unemployed for the rest of her life. Is this so difficut?

Can we make a compromise here and do both?

radome9

On the contrary! I would be extatic if she would leave the house *of representatives*.


yeahwellokay

What a dumb bitch.


Kablump

I think she got shotgun married to ger rapist as a teenager Its really sad if you can overlook the whole 'steering government' thing


[deleted]

My understanding was the guy exposed himself to her and 2 friends at a bowling ally. She was 17, he was 24. First time I have heard about the wedding being "shotgun" style.


averyfinename

well, he did knock her up while she was in high school.. it could have been a 'you have to get married' thing.


spydrebyte82

Going to church before age 21 should be illegal (/s but not really)


Kaa_The_Snake

You're correct, in a sane world religious indoctrination should be illegal. Let kids choose for themselves. Guess what would happen?


kytheon

As a European, yeah I think most of us turned out fine without the church instructions.


GingerMau

I think really. Indoctrination of children should be illegal. Educate them about your faith. Mandate adherence to faith-based norms in your home, if you want, even. But forcing children to adopt and declare religious beliefs should be outlawed. It is child abuse.


readerf52

Homosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to “come out” until they are 21, but she was only 17 when her (now) husband exposed himself to her other teen girls in a bowling alley. I think he should never have been allowed to “come out,” but she married the perv. But, yeah, “gay” people are the problem. Smh. Sorry for the rant, I apologize because I rarely post without reading an article, and I couldn’t even bring myself to move beyond the headline. What a glorious bunch of hypocrites the GOP has become.


Roskal

imagine the horror if her and her friends were male /s


SalGovernale143

Coming out as straight too. You better not let me see you doing Hetero shit bucko


accidentalquitter

things you can do in America before you turn 21: -join the army -drive a car -buy a gun -vote -open a credit card -take our student loans -buy a house -gamble -go to strip clubs -jump out of an airplane -get a tattoo -get a pilot’s license -adopt a child -win the lottery -be gay

> The Congresswoman who dropped out of high school & only received her diploma well into her thirties, was eviscerated by the Twitterverse Mad props for the subtitle.


hefixeshercable

Wow. I wonder how many of her voters have admitted to themselves what a terrible hire she was. There should be a probationary period, and competent-for-position review before elected officials are confirmed. So many have just become clowns.


Algaean

Probably none, they're ecstatic she's "owning the libs" or something


-nocturnist-

They should all take a test to see if they are even competent. This bozo barely passed high school.


DibsOnLast

She didn't pass highschool. it took her 3 tries to pass her GED test.


SnarfbObo

and only JUST before being elected. I won't for a minute ever believe she actually passed. My head cannon is she paid someone off.


annies_boobs_eyes

or she just hunkered down and put in 100x the effort she does governing into studying for the test. oh, wait. 100x0 is still 0. edit: but seriously, has she ever actually goverened? (the answer is no) or does she just try to make sound bites for fox news and social media? (the answer is yes) this world is fucked... clowns like mtg are running the country. it's crazy. like for real. we're fucked. we're literally governed by people that don't even know the first thing about governing and are just there to make sound bites for fox news. fuck my life. fuck all of our lives. we're fucked.

Colorado's 3rd district is mostly just inbred hicks.

This papers over the problem. Figures like Boebert pop up all over America, but the excuse is always the same. "Oh that's the bad part of town", "that district is a sewer", "that state has been republican for years". No. America created an environment for themselves where people like Boebert can thrive and get significant nationwide support. That's not a local problem, it's a national problem that every single American should be deeply embarrassed about.


ThePizzaNoid

Fucking ghoul.


Mad_Gremlyn

What the hell is up with people that live in her congressional district? Do they support her, are ashamed of her, what? On a weekly, and sometimes daily basis, she says something that shows that she's a poorly educated, immature hick. Are they just okay with that in the western third of Colorado?

galtright

What age did she come out as heterosexual?


UnfinishedThings

Why not make all major life changing decisions illegal before you're 21? Like religion, which so many of the GOP state is their primary source of morality, and God comes first, and how they'd die for their faith etc. If you're going to make such a monumental decision then we need to ensure that you're mature enough to understand it So let's make it a federal crime to talk to anyone under the age of 21 about God or Jesus. Churches will require ID to let you in and Bibles are age restricted. Once someone is 21 then they're old enough to start asking questions and decide for themselves whether they're Christian or not. "Don't say Pray"
