Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Was there ever any doubt that she was lying?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 182 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, but it's fun to see the proof.

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 72 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The video was more than I could have even hoped for: ignoring a pregnant woman who asked her to stop, taking flash photo selfies, getting felt up in a crowded theater, and flipping the bird to the poor people who work there chef's kiss

[–] oaklandnative@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Plus her ~~husband~~ boy toy Hieled Hitler in the beginning!

*I'm kidding but it almost looked like he did. Though I guess that might not be a negative thing for the people that vote Boebert.

EDITED to correct inaccurate husband statement.

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not her husband. The party of family values’ champion seen here disrespecting a pregnant mother, getting handsy with her fuhrers only date, and putting her shirt back on to free up her hands for a goodbye bird.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word. The proof that she was vaping was that she said she wasn't.

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But yet somehow she rolled a nat 1 on this deception check. Hahaha.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Probably shouldn’t have put INT or WIS as a dump stat.

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then she wouldn't meet the requirements for the Politician quest line.

Boebert’s website:

As a mother of four children, I believe that life begins at conception, and I will always defend life

Boebert in reality:

Vapes indoor in front of a pregnant woman, then acts out when she’s told to be considerate.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 77 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I’m so tired of this right wing “fuck my neighbors, / countrymen, I can do whatever I want” bullshit.

I have a piece of shit like this living behind me. Dude is always shooting guns and illegal fireworks over the house at 1am, and when you approach him, he gets on a “you hate freedom” tirade.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Makes you wonder how much freedom he can take.

[–] CeeBee@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone needs to fire off their own fireworks as soon as another someone goes to sleep

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

I usually just call the cops on him, and then he has a Randy Marsh “I thought this wasa merrica” moment, pushes the officers, and goes to jail for the night, again.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 12 points 2 years ago

They don’t understand that there is freedom to and there is freedom from.

I can have the freedom to fire a gun in the air.

I can have the freedom from falling bullets.

I can’t have both, unless these freedoms only apply to me.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Look, I vape! -blows a giant cloud the size of someone’s head in a crowded theatre-

She knew exactly what was happening. I’ve been vaping near enough ten years and haven’t ever felt the need for that big or hot of a hit. I guess it would be viable to have a home build that you don’t use in public spaces, but personally I’ve always preferred small, low temp hits with significantly less exhaust. Though I suppose expecting her or those like her to be considerate of others is like expecting a capybara to have scales. Utter nonsense.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

for that big or hot of a hit.

She's a conservative so there is an innate need to prove they aren't weak or meek. She does this by picking on the weak and meek around her to prove she isn't "one of them".

Seriously what an idiot. If you need to hit your vape, at the very least go the restroom and small puff in the stall incognito style. Not trying to champion that and of course you should really go outside but good lord. Complete blatant dumbassery here.

When you elect someone to congress who emotionally peaked in high school.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

She dropped out of high school.

[–] Zweibel@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

High school is being very, very generous. Middle school is more likely the answer.

Not her first time her bullshit being called out because someone was recording it. She should start assuming that someone has recorded her before she opens her mouth to spew bullshit.

[–] RaincoatsGeorge@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 years ago

Gotta love how the theater tracking her like she was at the Jan 6th riot. Covering their ass for when she would inevitably try to lie her way out of it. Without the footage she would have just claimed she was kicked out for being a MAGA loser. No you were kicked out for being an entitled drunk ass, everyone can see it.

[–] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could we get a photo album of the cretins that voted for this smoothbrain?

Anyone see the part where her boyfriend there was grabbing her boob for a solid 2 minutes? Classy.

Look, we all know trashy ass people like Boebert

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nope, sorry, you're on your own there. I know a few ass-people but they aren't that trashy, not anywhere close.

She acts like she is drunk and/or high.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My bet is alcohol or coke. People high on weed usually don’t like to make a scene.

What a rabid frothed up cunt of a human. Trash

[–] Norule6@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago

You could say the same for those who voted for her.

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Let's see some drug tests.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Shitty people do shitty things

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Boebert is untrustworthy? Shocking!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Lauren "Fog Machine" Boebert

[–] HighElfMage@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I would say she did this to fundraise off of being a victim, but that would require a degree of foresight that I don't think she possesses.
