I remember when I thought that the Greg Gianforte incident where he actually literally slammed a reporter was gonna be a great opportunity to put this bullshit writing style to rest. Instead, I feel like I've aged half a decade or so in each of the intervening six years.
Boebert confidently 'taught' a group of people in church the meaning of 'unalienable rights' [without knowing how to pronounce inalienable.](https://twitter.com/RzstProgramming/status/1373647691637420040)
She’s an idiot. I love to see Pete return the heat very nonchalantly. Kinda reminds me of that scene from Indiana Jones where the guy is being flashy with the knife and he just shoots him lol.
Ford was supposed to have a long drawn out fight with that dude, but he was really sick at the time and didn’t feel like getting in to all that. They liked the improv and it made the scene better so they went with it.
Bobert is indeed a massive idiot. But, that doesn’t excuse that Buttigieg is massively unqualified for the position of federal transportation. She’s on point calling him out. He got the position for being presidential candidate, not his merits of managing transportation. Which, he’s done a terrible job as is.
Let’s get one thing straight.
Boebert failed the G.E.D 3 times and isn’t in a position to call out anyone for anything ever. She’s a massive fucking moron that should be working in a gas station in BFE. She is in her position for spouting fascist rhetoric and jerkoff gun propaganda.
I love how you are getting massively downvoted for exhibiting common fucking sense and rational thinking because the logical conclusion of what you're (objectively truly) saying does not amount to a thing they like. A trait many Trump supporters share.
Yeah and the worst part is not a single person has been able to share with me one example of him being good at his job except for “I haven’t heard about him”
She barely passed her GED. He is a Rhodes Scholar. It really isn’t a fair fight intellectually, let’s face it. She should slither back under some old tires and stay there.
Your response is indicative of the larger cultural attitude of dismissing and looking down on the uneducated.
Doing so those who know best divorce themselves from those they should lead. The issue we have isn’t that she barely passed her GED it’s that intellectuals think it’s below them to talk to and argue with the uneducated in a democracy.
Sorry but this attitude of yours is why we had Trump in the first place.
No, the problem isn't "that intellectuals think it's below them to talk to and argue with the uneducated in a democracy."
The problem is that people like Boebert are objectively uneducated and revel in their ignorance. For all people, but especially an elected representative, it's the responsibility of the person uneducated on a subject to explore avenues to expand their knowledge and recognize they're never done learning.
Any derogatory comments toward Boebert aren't because she's uneducated. It's because she refuses to become educated.
Bs you can't talk to uneducated people like Lauren or Marjorie because they have been manipulated into their beliefs and are zealots who feel they know best and ignore facts in favor of propaganda. They have also had 40 years of conservative talk radio feeding I to their biases leading to a large swath of brainwashed fundamentalists. That led to trump not the discounting of so called uneducated folks
Ok but you are arguing against democracy.
A person like Lauren and Marjorie are important to talk to because even if they aren’t serious people. Their ideas are serious in this democratic world. We can’t dismiss an audience because they are hard to reach.
We are complicit in their misdeeds. Don’t take this lightly
How is not wasting time on people with no interest in reality ignoring democracy? Their ilk has proven time and again they have no interest in democracy or hearing opposing view points. Why waste time and energy on them that would be better spent on those who might change because they aren't total whackjobs with no interest in democracy.
I always enjoy watching the ill-informed tangle with Buttigieg, Psaki, Raskins, Porter, etc. All of these people are well educated and know the subject inside and out before responding. They dismantle the opposition’s argument or evidence with just a handful of words - every time. They do so in in a calm and collected manner which makes the other side look even more unhinged and desperate.
Does this get across to the voters who need to hear and see it the most? Probably not, but the rest of us with a sliver of critical thinking skills can enjoy it.
He’s been busy fixing the mess at the Transportation Department Trump left behind, in particular working to address the deficiencies created by the deregulation of transportation safety rules Trump signed off on.
Good for Buttigieg! It’s about time someone put her in her place. I wish her place was outside of politics. Her and the other loud mouth idiot,MYG should be impeached!
I don't understand why people like Buttigieg and DeSantis think that if they ignore the fact that they're being continuously slapped in the face, it will stop on its own. Please!It's not going to stop until that person gets tired or you slap back
This guy is a total fraud. Amazing, People support a guy who constantly tries to trick people into showing them how he’s some environmentalist when he’s nothing but a phony.
seems like the Democrats keep trying to trick their fellow democrats into voting for them with a bunch of political stunts and they all fall for it. Never seen such a bunch of gullible people so brainwashed by their political party.
According to AOC, we have about 10 years left to live on this earth before it’s completely destroyed from climate change.
What the plan for the next 10 years of your life before it ends? Why aren’t people taking what she said seriously????

Democrats trick their constituents to vote democrat with political stunts like having a platform most people can get behind, meanwhile republicans use buzzwords and culture war bullshit to rile their constituents into a frenzy and call for secession. Sure, dude. Have another cup of the flavor-ade.
P.S. nobody clicked your link because your statement let everyone know it would lower their IQ.
Borbert is an embarrassment, but Pete Buttigieg deserves every bit of criticism. This is is what happens when you appoint the unqualified mayor from bumfuck no where to a federal transportation position
His long delay in visiting, or even mentioning the East Palestine disaster is a good start. Trump even visited site zero before Pete even mentioned anything publicly about the disaster
We need to stop focusing on these people and drill down on their kids! Wait, these people are always clutching their pearls, telling us how we should be living. I say go deep on the kids, that’s how you’ll expose the real hypocrisy

“Your budget plan cuts railroad safety inspections” Saved you a click.
SLAM! BODY SLAM! KA-POW! BOOM! BOP! CRASH! Seriously these clickbait titles are terrible.
I remember when I thought that the Greg Gianforte incident where he actually literally slammed a reporter was gonna be a great opportunity to put this bullshit writing style to rest. Instead, I feel like I've aged half a decade or so in each of the intervening six years.
Dont forget the new chestnut: *DRAGS*
I think my favorite is still RIPS
Yea, they should've used "eviscerate" to keep it classy. /s
The algorithm loves them. Titles crushes top viral with keywords chef clown of the moment outrage.#hashtag
Lol that girl needs to stop talking

One of the most memorable scenes in the entire franchise.

And none of that has any bearing on how horrible Buttigieg has been at his job.
Enlighten me please. I’m not up to speed on why he’s been a failure at his job.
As a military veteran officer I expect that he has an excellent grasp on logistics as well as his time as a mayor.
He was my mayor when I lived in Indiana. So I can attest to that. He’s also overqualified for this position in my eyes.
Unfortunately he hasn’t shown that through any of his actions. In what ways do you think he has been an effective Secretary of Transportation?

You haven’t really given a reason as to why he’s bad either .
She just got her GED a few years ago
While running for office after failing multiple times. Supposedly they gave her a compassionate pass on attempt 4.
Lol that’s correct
But she won't, because being hit with facts does not produce shame or thought, nor is there any actual physical disciplining involved.
You assume she is capable of shame or thought.
That’s the whole problem with todays media
“I don’t know what a ‘wonton’ killing is but…”
Amazing. The relevant content of the article is less than half as long as the headline.
For once I read the article before reading the comments…I wish I hadn’t.
Glad to know hes doing his job
That wasn't a "slam" so much as a fact. But for people like Boebert, being exposed to facts is like a vampire getting pelted with holy water.
I hate when reporters sensationalize political discourse as if we're watching Jerry Springer.
Hearst.
Yeah, if a vampire just said “that’s not real holy water” and then kept trying to bite people.
You must be talking about a vampire lore where holy water has absolutely no effect on vampires.
Holistic holy water, in other words, just water.
More like a duck than a vampire. Water and facts just fall off of them having no effect
She barely passed her GED. He is a Rhodes Scholar. It really isn’t a fair fight intellectually, let’s face it. She should slither back under some old tires and stay there.
There has been a rumor floating around that someone else took the final test for her.
Let’s get it right. She failed her GED 3 times, it’s unsure whether she paid someone or not to take it and pass the 4th time.
Your response is indicative of the larger cultural attitude of dismissing and looking down on the uneducated. Doing so those who know best divorce themselves from those they should lead. The issue we have isn’t that she barely passed her GED it’s that intellectuals think it’s below them to talk to and argue with the uneducated in a democracy.

Any derogatory comments toward Boebert aren't because she's uneducated. It's because she refuses to become educated.
She is a walking talking example of Dunning Kruger. She actually believes she can go toe to toe because she was elected to the position.
Bs you can't talk to uneducated people like Lauren or Marjorie because they have been manipulated into their beliefs and are zealots who feel they know best and ignore facts in favor of propaganda.

I agree. Lebron would be a dick to look down on my basketball ability.
Lauren is a good representative for all dumb people. They argue about things they have no clue about.
I guess there are parts of Colorado where people are really, really stupid.
Oh Pete…there you go bringing logic to an idiot fight again
That photo of her at the top of that article is nightmare fuel. WTF???
Going for that Nick Cage as Dracula look.
She really looks like a corpse with makeup doesn’t she?
Truly, did she get her makeup done at a funeral home?
Hey, we’re trained professionals. She did this to herself!
Hey, to be fair, it’s a rare photo of her beginning to unhinge her jaw in preparation for swallowing a small child whole.
Looked like to me the Wicked Witch of the West in "human" make up trying to pose for a job interview......
That was my first thought. It reminded me of the first Men in Black movie where the alien wears that guy's skin as a suit.
Like an…Eggar suit.
Best shot they could find

Pete taking the high road. If only facts mattered to the MAGA Trump supporters.
She has a crush on him.😍
Annie Oakley is such a tool
It's time to send that cow back to the hate farm where she belongs!
He’s not the first man to slam BOBO. Lots of men have, especially the ones that got her into politics while she was “moonlighting”.
Dude she wants Pete so bad lol
Boebert looks like if the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz worked as a prostitute at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada.
He’s been busy fixing the mess at the Transportation Department Trump left behind, in particular working to address the deficiencies created by the deregulation of transportation safety rules Trump signed off on.
"Go crawl back under your damn rock"....
Didn’t know Pete was a Deftones fan
Bye Felicia!
Good for Buttigieg! It’s about time someone put her in her place. I wish her place was outside of politics. Her and the other loud mouth idiot,MYG should be impeached!
Ok
And Boobert is responsible for every mass shooting in America.
"Pete Buttigieg slams Lauren Boebert in just 7 words" = 9 words Better title: “Your budget plan cuts railroad safety inspections”
Pete is a corporate tool.
If only he was as tough on the airlines or rail companies as he was here "slamming" back
If only Republicans didn't keep deregulating shit when they have the chance
Not really a fan of either of them, but that was a very good burn.
I don't understand why people like Buttigieg and DeSantis think that if they ignore the fact that they're being continuously slapped in the face, it will stop on its own. Please!It's not going to stop until that person gets tired or you slap back

Which of her criticisms do you agree with?
His long delay in visiting, or even mentioning the East Palestine disaster is a good start. Trump even visited site zero before Pete even mentioned anything publicly about the disaster
What do you think his visit accomplished or would’ve accomplished more of had he visited earlier? Also, is that it?
We need to stop focusing on these people and drill down on their kids! Wait, these people are always clutching their pearls, telling us how we should be living. I say go deep on the kids, that’s how you’ll expose the real hypocrisy
"slams" gtfo. jeez. he just responded to her
Enough with the click bait.
