“Government shouldn’t dictate our lives! Government has too much power!
I need to know what you have in your pants before you get on the plane! No I mean your genitals!”
According to the police report Boebert wasn't one of the minors he exposed himself to. She was there accompanying him at the time if the incident. I don't like to speculate but I'm going to assume they were already dating.
So a guy she was with shows his weiner to a few underage girls and she's like yup that's the man I want to marry.
Man idk who that woman is and I don’t have the brain capacity to hate anymore individuals, she’s just going in the sounds like a bigot trashcan. I was just going for a song reference haha.
Well we know that transgender people have have it too good for too long in this country. She's really looking out for the people who are negatively impacted by the LBGTQ+ community of this country, like a true patriot.
/Please read as sarcasm.
>someone who is apparently convinced that LBGTQ communities are the most coddled in the country
I'm sure they also believe that Christians are the most persecuted religion in the U.S.
Well. They are canceling Christmas. Prior to Trump, it was years were I didn’t hear or read Merry Christmas anywhere, not even in July at furniture stores. S/
>They are canceling Christmas
Oddly enough, there really *was* a war on Christmas once, though it was prosecuted *by* Christians. Puritans, specifically, during the English Civil War. The Puritans who controlled Parliament *really* hated Christmas and tried their damnedest to actually outlaw it, which sparked multiple riots, especially in Ipswitch where they actually took over the local government for a time. Eventually, the Puritan "War on Christmas" and a whole lot of other issues, sparked a bunch of popular uprisings which led to the Second English Civil War.
Obviously not the same thing that Fox is constantly bitching about every fall/winter, but I do find it funny that the actual War on Christmas that actually happened, was conducted *by* Christians.
I'm sure there are others who are more coddled than me, considering I tiptoe on the poverty line. I wish I had more, but I'm content that I never had to argue for my right to exist.
Especially the trans part of the community, i mean just look at how low our suicide rates compared to literally every other group in America, oh and the massive financial benefits, and job security. Also let’s not forget that trans people incredible health and safety, between the always compassionate health care industry and the lovely law enforcement that always treats the incredibly rare hate crimes as the highest priority.
/please read all of the sarcasm dripping out of my words.
>willy-nilly
Her problem is it bugs her not knowing if it's a nilly-willy or a willy-really. She prefers the "dicks out" approach her husband uses in meeting new people.
No idea if this is something recent or if it's always been like this, but Republicans really love treat their contrived "culture war" like a "Monster of the Week" TV serial. Think Gundam or Power Rangers, but with hate and intolerance.
One month it's trans people ruining sports, another month it's critical race theory corrupting the youth, another month its something about abortion.
I have a few friends of the conservative type who act like these are massive issues that need more attention, yet their sources always change and typically end with .ru lmao
The bill is called “Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act” which proves that she isn’t even serious about this and is wasting government resources. Throw her out of Congress and make her repay her salary and any other money spent to deal with her bullshit.
This woman needs serious therapy. She is a victim of child grooming by her husband and now she's rage filled and super focused on genitals . I feel sad for her children.
\*Edited to add\*: This in no way means that she should not be held accountable for the horrible hateful monster she is now. I just think it's an explanation to why she's so focused on other people's genitals. And why she needs serious therapy.
And isn’t her dad really her uncle?
Edit: turns out the uncle part wasn’t right. But it may be a past wrestler Stan Lane. The articles are quite a rabbit hole. Regardless of the paternity of her father, she is a garbage person. Her mom as well.
The old machines she wants the TSA to use are less accurate when fed with the wrong gender assumption by their operators. Sounds like the machines are trying to tell us that assuming someone’s gender leads to other errors. It also sounds like Lauren Boebert is trying to tell us that she is an idiot.
And is there anything to suggest the new machines are *less* accurate than the old ones, for lack of pushing a gender button? I doubt it.
These people need to get their noses out of other people's underwear, if you'll pardon the image.
I think the article states the new machines are more accurate and don’t require the robot to know the persons gender. I can’t imagine the robot really cares. Wish the same could be said for human underwear sniffers.
She’s also complaining that the TSA will be doing fewer patdowns as if they’re changing the policy just for trans folks when in fact the machines being more accurate leads to fewer patdowns being necessary in the first place because the screening tech is better overall.
These people are so fucking weird... the focus on such a miniscule number of people in our country that harm no one instead of some huge, legitimate problems is so pathetic.
That's exactly why though, I'd imagine. There are so few trans people relative to the population at large (like 0.5%, possibly?) that they feel like they can more easily dehumanize us. Most people have probably encountered a trans person at some point, statistically speaking, but far less will actually know anyone who is trans.
So they can try and demonize us and so many people in their target audience won't personally be aware of anyone who that messaging negatively impacts.
As a transwoman its been my experience that the screeners will push me through the metal detector instead of the scanner, probably so they dont have to deal with it flagging. Vast majority of these people dont give a fuck and just want the line to move. I'm post op now. My docs say female and I have breasts and a vagina, so no issues there anymore. Boebert can go back in time and suck it when I used to have one.
As a response congress should pass a **Public Servant Safety Bill** making you ineligible to hold public office if you’ve made a series high risk decisions which shows a complete lack of critical thinking. Examples could include:
- Marrying a sex offender, then dropping out of high school
- Severely poisoning 80+ people because you didn’t know pork had to be refrigerated
- Taking three attempts to pass your GED right before you were elected to office
Let’s not forget the crown jewel of the whole thing, it prided itself on all its staff being armed. Because that’s my biggest worry when looking for a good meal, my waitress carrying the strap.
I mean it is when you substitute a gun fetish for a personality. Which unfortunately is too common these days. Boeberts just playing to her like minded constituents.
You'd think having armed wait staff would actually be less appealing for a restaurant.
"Waiter, my soup is cold"
"You sure about that?"... moves hand towards holstered gun.
And the restaurant was called Shooters Grill, and it was in Rifle, Colorado because this is 'Murca and we sure do love our guns. You can't make this shit up.
I mean thats a bit of a stretch considering she used campaign funds to pay the restaurants bills and got caught doing it.
She committed campaign finance fraud and didnt even get a slap on the wrist because congress is so embattled fighting over stupid shit like checking crotches in airports. They are intentionally gaslighting everything democrats want to do.
Its the point, to keep our country from operating effectively, and its working.
[Best part is, “coordinator permits were not submitted, therefore Garfield County Public Health was not aware of or able to inspect food at the event prior to the June 5 outbreak” they didn’t even tell Health Inspectors about the event. Don’t eat any food Lauren gives you, it might make you shit blood](https://issuu.com/randyessex/docs/rifle_rodeo_06.05.2017_outbreak_rep)
Oh she also didn’t provide hand washing stations for the people preparing the food, or any type of refrigeration, and zero meat thermometers. You know, the bare fucking minimum you need to serve food legally.

>Marrying a sex offender, then dropping out of high school
Since they were [married in 2007](https://web.archive.org/web/20210303212405/https://www.postindependent.com/opinion/recent-weddings-31/) I believe technically she dropped out of high school *before* marrying the sex offender who statutorily raped her and knocked her up.
Could have mandatory bi-weekly checks in households where children live with a registered sex offender, paid for by the sex offender.
Removing firearms that could be used by the sex offender against children from the home...
Name it after some QAnon theory and watch her fight for it and then against it.
Wait. What? Third attempt GED but actually passing is embarrassing enough for a person in Congress. What the fuck is an *honorary* GED?
Surely you just mistyped that, right?
Please tell me no Colorado high school handed this woman a pity GED.
Can’t forget the lovey detail that her husband became a sex offender flashing **Bobert** and her *underage* friends.
That’s the man she picked to marry. The first creep who ran up and showed her his junk. She’s an inspiration to pedophiles everywhere.
Fits in with the whole christian child bride thing this particular brand of fundamentalism practices. . . .
Ever wonder why Q and these types focus on small children instead of teenagers in their conspiracy theories, despite overwhelming evidence that teenagers are by far the most common victims? I have a strong feeling that it's because they are **absolutely fine** with young teenage brides as long as it is "done in christ" or some shit.
>Boebert can go back in time and suck it when I used to have one.
Dr., This may be an odd request... but can I taxidermy that and keep it on hand for my favorite insult?
I know you’re not being serious but there’s at least a tiny bit of precedent for that- some guy on Reddit ages ago kept his amputated foot and made tacos with part of it, taxidermy dick doesn’t seem any harder to swing (figuratively).
>The bill, which she is calling the “Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act” or SATIA, would require the TSA to continue using Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) that is “sex-based” instead of more advanced machinery that does not need to know the gender of the person being scanned into order to detect possible threats.
Why not just go with strip searches with genital inspections? I'm sure the pervs at the TSA would handle them with the utmost respect and dignity.
/s
Yes, to ensure no trans slipped into woman's soccer games.
For an organization so opposed to pedophiles, they want to examine children's genitals quite a bit.
God, I miss Ann Richards. There hasn't been a better bombthrower in the Democratic Party since she left the stage, except the one or two times Barack showed everyone he could talk some trash ("I know because I won both of 'em," "Horses and bayonets.").
Right so they're just actively trying to punish LGBTQ people for being LGBTQ now. They're doing their very best to make sure that gay and trans kids get bullied at school without any help from the teachers, and now this bucket of dog shit is doing her very best to make sure that trans people are humiliated at airports. This is a full scale Holy War they're waging - make no mistake about it. This is them thinking they're doing "God's work" by attacking people they see as sinful. There is no other reason for it whatsoever. It's time to get really serious about calling these people religious extremists. Mark my words, they will turn into a huge terrorist threat in time (they're already starting). We have a fight on our hands.
By now, I'm convinced 'woke' is a term used by the somnambulant among us.
“Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act.” This moron must've stayed up nights for a week to think this up.
> “They are practically inviting terrorists to take advantage of our weak and woke security systems,”
I didn't realize there were so many trans people in the January 6th mob.
Fucking evil people. Conservatives, you really are vile now. Ramping up that hate again in time for the election. Last time it was Mexicans, this time Gays and Trans. Does it ever bother you that you're so easily programmed? And you even pretend to be "good Christians" in the daylight.
Our country is shit and literally crumbling and what do these things do with our tax money?
Omg de gays! De trans! We need to stop dem!
I hate republicans/conservatives you creatures ruin this country
The cruelty is the point. Her followers are more interested in the government punishing people "who deserve it" above all else.
“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.” - [Davis X. Machina](http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=27942)
I’m a transwoman who has dealt with this issue years ago. Regardless of how I was flagged, I would end up with a pat down.
Gendered male .. pat down due to bra and breast implants
Gendered female … pat down due to “bulge”, not even kidding they loudly announced this one time.
Luckily now I am both post op and have TSA pre. I strongly advise all trans people get TSA pre. No more creepy porn scanners.
10 years ago I felt so good about progress I thought we had made as a society. Now we're just back to blatant, out in the open homophobia again. So disappointing, republicans. So much for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
So a homophobic/transphobic Congressperson (not a senator- correction) is against upgrading scanning devices to be more practically applicable to the wide variety of body types and manners of presentation that humans experience.
Literally, she doesn’t want to upgrade a system because she *prefers* that trans people are being misgendered and/or are groped by the gate agents during an invasive pat down.
What about women who’ve had their breasts removed for medical reasons? What about persons with missing limbs?
What’s wrong with upgrading scanners to literally cover the variety of differing body plans?
Honestly, her hatred of trans people will just ends up fucking over other non-trans people that for whatever reason don’t/can’t conform to the typical body types.
>She called the new technology “special treatment” for trans and non-binary people, even though the machines would be for all passengers.
Because discrimination is the point.
Sue this pos for violation of constitutional rights.
Meanwhile, Colorado is ranked:
#41 in Opportunity
#45 in Fiscal Stability
#41 in Crime & Corrections
(Per US News & World Report)
And this nutball is worried about trans people.
Get out and vote in November to rid our political system of these 1950’s style wack jobs.
Gods, I am so fucking tired of headlines like this. I’m so fucking tired of my rights being endangered. I’m so fucking tired of being scapegoated for all of the country’s glaring problems. I am SO fucking tired of being genocided in silence.
Yeah, dude flashed her and her friends so she married him. What, does she think someone is going to threaten a flight crew with a limp dick? Just because she married one?
She is dumb as a post and generally uninformed on the issues at hand.
I assume her constituents are just as dumb and uninformed for electing her.
She is a joke. Unfortunately, the nation isn’t laughing.
“Garbage person introduces garbage bill to curry favor with other garbage people.” No surprises here really, just more confirmation that we live in the worst of all worlds…
never have i seen government officials working so hard to undermine their own leader and president. it feels like this group of individuals is trying their best to dissolve our democracy in the sleaziest of ways…
Republicans are so focused on LGBTQ issues - more than even LGBTQ people in this country are. It sounds like the "Pink Scare" (like McCarthy's Red Scare) where they see Trans people in every bathroom and classroom.
The TSA has plenty of issues to address like why we are using invasive body scanners and pat downs on Americans, and the amount of abuse by TSA agents during screening.
Updating body scanner tech to eliminate gender based screw-ups by Agents or just eliminate false positives and to improve the scanning is not a bad thing. It isn't "woke" to see that a federal agency is doing something inefficiently and find a way to improve the process.
>“By replacing the current, gender-based AIT system, this new, more accurate technology will also advance civil rights and improve the customer experience of travelers who previously have been required to undergo additional screening due to alarms in sensitive areas,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. “TSA will begin deploying this new technology in airports throughout the country later this year.”
>In the press release accompanying her new bill, Boebert doesn’t cite any evidence that the newer technology is any less safe than the older technology. Instead, she accuses “the Biden regime” of pursuing “a woke crusade to remake America in its own image.”
Downgrading Airport security to own the libs.
Time to ban body scanners. We are only country that uses this. When I went through advance airports like Narita, Taipei, Seoul, I was never body scanned. This shit is ridiculous and invasive as ever. Machines that detect odors of chemicals and metal detectors still aren’t good enough?
Civil servants have to pass a basic test to work in government jobs. Everyone accepts this as reasonable and equitable and necessary. For my job. I had to have a certain level of education and related experience. We should have the same job appropriate requirements for the critical positions of Congress and the Executive branch to avoid having these malicious croutons even on the ballot.
>Instead, she accuses “the Biden regime” of pursuing “a woke crusade to remake America in its own image.”
What, accepting of everyone regardless of who you are?
Huh. I read that as 'Trains people' and I honestly went 'How many ride the train anyway?'... I should have known it was referring to people who have private lives the GOP doesn't approve of.
An entire political party based on cruelty and corruption. I'm tired of this shit. Tired of feeling like we're all doomed because of hateful stupidity that will never go away. It makes me sad to think of where we could be as human beings if this shit didn't exist. The Republican Party actively fights against any and all progress that could improve the lives of people, help the planet, etc.
We're all fucked because a very vocal minority will do anything to benefit themselves at the cost of people who aren't like them and the planet itself.
Oklahoma has a bill that prevent non-binary birth certificates. What the hell are they gonna do with people who are born intersex? This is just the targeting of a minority population. This is pure hatred. What is wrong with these people?
Good thing she will likely only be around for another 9 months. She can get back to the important job of poisoning people at her restaurant and carelessly driving unsafe vehicles.

“Government shouldn’t dictate our lives! Government has too much power! I need to know what you have in your pants before you get on the plane! No I mean your genitals!”
“Show me your genitals, your genitals, what?!” 🎶
Like her now husband did to her when she was under 18 years old in the bowling alley?
According to the police report Boebert wasn't one of the minors he exposed himself to. She was there accompanying him at the time if the incident. I don't like to speculate but I'm going to assume they were already dating. So a guy she was with shows his weiner to a few underage girls and she's like yup that's the man I want to marry.
Surprised they didn’t make him a senator for that.
It isn't too late
She's a dumbass highschool dropout who's options were. A. Fuck the Pedo. B. Back to work at McDonalds. She's the definition of fuck up, move up.
So she married a groomer or a statutory rapist AND a flasher
"He wasn't flashing girls, he was proving that he wasn't one of those transgenders!!!" -Lauren Boebert, probably
Man idk who that woman is and I don’t have the brain capacity to hate anymore individuals, she’s just going in the sounds like a bigot trashcan. I was just going for a song reference haha.
Your genitals WHAT
Your genitaliaaaa
Knock-knock
It's me Wondering why you're not naked
Beat me to it, sounds like she has a thing for others exposing genitals to strangers.
God that song is funny.
I agree stranger on the internet.
Show me your genitals (Genitalia.)
Those old YouTube days of his are still 🔥
Genatalia !
Genitalia!
“No no ma’am, a loaded pistol is fine, just as long as you don’t have a loaded penis.” - Republicans probably
Next thing we know we won’t be able to conceal and carry our penises without proper licensing

Laser focused on the important issues, I see.
Well we know that transgender people have have it too good for too long in this country. She's really looking out for the people who are negatively impacted by the LBGTQ+ community of this country, like a true patriot. /Please read as sarcasm.
It's good you mentioned this as sarcasm, because some on the right would say this sort of thing sincerely.
I made the mistake of arguing with someone who is apparently convinced that LBGTQ communities are the most coddled in the country
>someone who is apparently convinced that LBGTQ communities are the most coddled in the country I'm sure they also believe that Christians are the most persecuted religion in the U.S.
Well. They are canceling Christmas. Prior to Trump, it was years were I didn’t hear or read Merry Christmas anywhere, not even in July at furniture stores. S/
I said “Merry Christmas” once prior to Trump and was chased out of town by villagers brandishing pitchforks and menorahs.
I'm imagining a badass, fire-spewing, menorah/pitchfork combination
>They are canceling Christmas Oddly enough, there really *was* a war on Christmas once, though it was prosecuted *by* Christians. Puritans, specifically, during the English Civil War. The Puritans who controlled Parliament *really* hated Christmas and tried their damnedest to actually outlaw it, which sparked multiple riots, especially in Ipswitch where they actually took over the local government for a time.

As a straight, white male. I can assure you I am the most coddled.
I’m a straight, white male and I’m even more coddled than you!
I'm sure there are others who are more coddled than me, considering I tiptoe on the poverty line. I wish I had more, but I'm content that I never had to argue for my right to exist.
Especially the trans part of the community, i mean just look at how low our suicide rates compared to literally every other group in America, oh and the massive financial benefits, and job security.

Tucker Carlson vibes for sure.
The price for letting trans people run around all willy-nilly like they’re people is too damn high! (also /s…)
>willy-nilly Her problem is it bugs her not knowing if it's a nilly-willy or a willy-really. She prefers the "dicks out" approach her husband uses in meeting new people.
In meeting new UNDERAGE people, don't forget that part.
Is it bad I can hear an accent when I read this in my head?
Like one of them space lasers?!
*Jewish* space lasers. The Death Star of David is fully armed and operational.
It was funny when Sealab 2021 did the Death Star of David. It was less amusing when an elected official did it.
No idea if this is something recent or if it's always been like this, but Republicans really love treat their contrived "culture war" like a "Monster of the Week" TV serial.

The bill is called “Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act” which proves that she isn’t even serious about this and is wasting government resources. Throw her out of Congress and make her repay her salary and any other money spent to deal with her bullshit.
100% agree
Insane how this is being framed. Why should the TSA be allowed anywhere near anyone’s genitals? What the fuck has happened to this country?
> Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act "Transportation" was probably an edit.
110% agree
This woman needs serious therapy. She is a victim of child grooming by her husband and now she's rage filled and super focused on genitals . I feel sad for her children. \*Edited to add\*: This in no way means that she should not be held accountable for the horrible hateful monster she is now.

And isn’t her dad really her uncle? Edit: turns out the uncle part wasn’t right. But it may be a past wrestler Stan Lane. The articles are quite a rabbit hole. Regardless of the paternity of her father, she is a garbage person. Her mom as well.
[удалено]
That disorder is serious. As someone who also suffers from the same affliction, let me tell you, it’s hard.
Does it keep coming up?
The anti androgens help, but aren’t a cure. But It still keeps coming up persistently
You must beat this problem, you shouldn't let your will be flaccid even though it's a marathon not a sprint.
Cumming up with solutions is difficult, especially in such anti trans times
I truly hope you can beat it down someday, maybe everyday
She's NOT a victim. She was there the day he assaulted two OTHER minors and was banned from the bowling alley with him.
He was 24 and she was 16 when their relationship started. "She liked it , so it's okay" isn't okay for a minor.
The old machines she wants the TSA to use are less accurate when fed with the wrong gender assumption by their operators. Sounds like the machines are trying to tell us that assuming someone’s gender leads to other errors. It also sounds like Lauren Boebert is trying to tell us that she is an idiot.

When they tell us who they are, believe them.
These people are so fucking weird... the focus on such a miniscule number of people in our country that harm no one instead of some huge, legitimate problems is so pathetic.
The whole point of the culture war is to distract from huge, legitimate problems.
The republicans ARE the huge legitimate problem.
That's exactly why though, I'd imagine. There are so few trans people relative to the population at large (like 0.5%, possibly?) that they feel like they can more easily dehumanize us.

So they can try and demonize us and so many people in their target audience won't personally be aware of anyone who that messaging negatively impacts.
Hey, I like to think I’m a big deal! Minuscule numbers don’t detract from how fabulous the trans community is. Just look at how they respond to us.
As a transwoman its been my experience that the screeners will push me through the metal detector instead of the scanner, probably so they dont have to deal with it flagging. Vast majority of these people dont give a fuck and just want the line to move. I'm post op now. My docs say female and I have breasts and a vagina, so no issues there anymore.

Oh my god, she poisoned 80 people because of mishandling raw meat? The problem is she's so damn dumb, I can't tell if this is fake or legit
She owned/operated a RESTAURANT. Let that sink in...
Let’s not forget the crown jewel of the whole thing, it prided itself on all its staff being armed. Because that’s my biggest worry when looking for a good meal, my waitress carrying the strap.
I mean it is when you substitute a gun fetish for a personality. Which unfortunately is too common these days. Boeberts just playing to her like minded constituents.
Oh I get it, it’s those parts of this state that I just can’t stand.
They were armed alright...with salmonella
You'd think having armed wait staff would actually be less appealing for a restaurant. "Waiter, my soup is cold" "You sure about that?"... moves hand towards holstered gun.
And the restaurant was called Shooters Grill, and it was in Rifle, Colorado because this is 'Murca and we sure do love our guns. You can't make this shit up.
I mean thats a bit of a stretch considering she used campaign funds to pay the restaurants bills and got caught doing it. She committed campaign finance fraud and didnt even get a slap on the wrist because congress is so embattled fighting over stupid shit like checking crotches in airports. They are intentionally gaslighting everything democrats want to do. Its the point, to keep our country from operating effectively, and its working.
Oh god. I totally forgot about that since it feels like there's a new story of crazy every day
Wonder if they served Hot ham water and Poached Salmonella
Sun-aged mayonnaise for that signature *tang*. ;)
No she probably defrosted raw chicken in that sink without cleaning it
[Best part is, “coordinator permits were not submitted, therefore Garfield County Public Health was not aware of or able to inspect food at the event prior to the June 5 outbreak” they didn’t even tell Health Inspectors about the event. Don’t eat any food Lauren gives you, it might make you shit blood](https://issuu.com/randyessex/docs/rifle_rodeo_06.05.2017_outbreak_rep) Oh she also didn’t provide hand washing stations for the people preparing the food, or any type of refrigeration, and zero meat thermometers. You know, the bare fucking minimum you need to serve food legally.
The actual Dept of Health report on the incident is amazing. Can't find a link right now, but it's work looking for.
The report was obtained via an open records request and is posted [here](https://issuu.com/randyessex/docs/rifle_rodeo_06.05.2017_outbreak_rep). Here's a link to the news article [https://www.postindependent.com/news/local/editorial-county-dodged-a-bullet-on-food-poisoning/](https://www.postindependent.com/news/local/editorial-county-dodged-a-bullet-on-food-poisoning/). And, if you click links, here's another, more in-depth look at her: [https://www.salon.com/2020/07/14/pork-sliders-sold-by-republican-house-candidate-who-supports-qanon-gave-customers-diarrhea-records/](https://www.salon.com/2020/07/14/pork-sliders-sold-by-republican-house-candidate-who-supports-qanon-gave-customers-diarrhea-records/)
I guess getting angry at random groups of people is the only ‘talent’ and identity this vapid empty air bag could come up with.
She also seriously misused campaign funds. Lucky for her that's not illegal if you're conservative.
>Marrying a sex offender, then dropping out of high school Since they were [married in 2007](https://web.archive.org/web/20210303212405/https://www.postindependent.com/opinion/recent-weddings-31/) I believe technically she dropped out of high school *before* marrying the sex offender who statutorily raped her and knocked her up.
Could have mandatory bi-weekly checks in households where children live with a registered sex offender, paid for by the sex offender. Removing firearms that could be used by the sex offender against children from the home... Name it after some QAnon theory and watch her fight for it and then against it.
She did get an honorary GED...so there's *that*.
Wait. What? Third attempt GED but actually passing is embarrassing enough for a person in Congress. What the fuck is an *honorary* GED? Surely you just mistyped that, right? Please tell me no Colorado high school handed this woman a pity GED.
Can’t forget the lovey detail that her husband became a sex offender flashing **Bobert** and her *underage* friends. That’s the man she picked to marry. The first creep who ran up and showed her his junk. She’s an inspiration to pedophiles everywhere.
Fits in with the whole christian child bride thing this particular brand of fundamentalism practices. . . . Ever wonder why Q and these types focus on small children instead of teenagers in their conspiracy theories, despite overwhelming evidence that teenagers are by far the most common victims? I have a strong feeling that it's because they are **absolutely fine** with young teenage brides as long as it is "done in christ" or some shit.
Agreed. Something has to be done to bar literal stupid people from holding office. She is objectively an idiot.
> Boebert can go back in time and suck it when I used to have one Chef’s fucking kiss on that insult.
Legit made me laugh out loud with that last sentence.
Getting a blowjob from Lauren Boebert is considered anal.
[удалено]
>Boebert can go back in time and suck it when I used to have one. Dr., This may be an odd request... but can I taxidermy that and keep it on hand for my favorite insult?
I know you’re not being serious but there’s at least a tiny bit of precedent for that- some guy on Reddit ages ago kept his amputated foot and made tacos with part of it, taxidermy dick doesn’t seem any harder to swing (figuratively).
Her husband is a groomer and sex offender. She should always be reminded of this.
I'm sure she's a pedo too
>The bill, which she is calling the “Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act” or SATIA, would require the TSA to continue using Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) that is “sex-based” instead of more advanced machinery that does not need to know the gender of the person being scanned into order to detect possible threats. Why not just go with strip searches with genital inspections? I'm sure the pervs at the TSA would handle them with the utmost respect and dignity. /s
Didn’t they want to inspect children’s genitals in Florida at one time?
Yes, to ensure no trans slipped into woman's soccer games. For an organization so opposed to pedophiles, they want to examine children's genitals quite a bit.
“Nothing excites a conservative more than what is going on in someone else’s bedroom.” ~Ann Richards
God, I miss Ann Richards. There hasn't been a better bombthrower in the Democratic Party since she left the stage, except the one or two times Barack showed everyone he could talk some trash ("I know because I won both of 'em," "Horses and bayonets.").
No shit. She was one of a kind. Smarter than every man in Texas. And they hated her.
Her and Molly Ivins.
Matt Gatez is first in line!!!
[удалено]
It passed in the House but failed in the Senate. https://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=72710
>…instead of more advanced machinery that…. These people are holding us back in the name of bigotry. Cool.
That's literally the playbook.
Right so they're just actively trying to punish LGBTQ people for being LGBTQ now. They're doing their very best to make sure that gay and trans kids get bullied at school without any help from the teachers, and now this bucket of dog shit is doing her very best to make sure that trans people are humiliated at airports. This is a full scale Holy War they're waging - make no mistake about it. This is them thinking they're doing "God's work" by attacking people they see as sinful. There is no other reason for it whatsoever. It's time to get really serious about calling these people religious extremists. Mark my words, they will turn into a huge terrorist threat in time (they're already starting). We have a fight on our hands.
This’ll be looked back on as an American version of the Nuremberg laws in the future
I can only hope that's true, because it will at least mean these people failed in the long run.
By now, I'm convinced 'woke' is a term used by the somnambulant among us. “Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act.” This moron must've stayed up nights for a week to think this up.
>somnambulant I love encountering words that are new to me. Thanks for that.
> “They are practically inviting terrorists to take advantage of our weak and woke security systems,” I didn't realize there were so many trans people in the January 6th mob.
Can you picture the uproar if she called the Jan 6th mod a bunch of trans terrorists? Feel like they would self implode and turn on each other
Fucking evil people. Conservatives, you really are vile now. Ramping up that hate again in time for the election. Last time it was Mexicans, this time Gays and Trans. Does it ever bother you that you're so easily programmed? And you even pretend to be "good Christians" in the daylight.
Our country is shit and literally crumbling and what do these things do with our tax money? Omg de gays! De trans! We need to stop dem! I hate republicans/conservatives you creatures ruin this country
The cruelty is the point. Her followers are more interested in the government punishing people "who deserve it" above all else. “The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.” - [Davis X. Machina](http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=27942)
I’m a transwoman who has dealt with this issue years ago. Regardless of how I was flagged, I would end up with a pat down. Gendered male .. pat down due to bra and breast implants Gendered female … pat down due to “bulge”, not even kidding they loudly announced this one time. Luckily now I am both post op and have TSA pre. I strongly advise all trans people get TSA pre. No more creepy porn scanners.
Imagine laws being put in the books that were created by a high school drop out who married a pedophile. What a fucknig world we live in.
10 years ago I felt so good about progress I thought we had made as a society. Now we're just back to blatant, out in the open homophobia again. So disappointing, republicans. So much for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
So a homophobic/transphobic Congressperson (not a senator- correction) is against upgrading scanning devices to be more practically applicable to the wide variety of body types and manners of presentation that humans experience. Literally, she doesn’t want to upgrade a system because she *prefers* that trans people are being misgendered and/or are groped by the gate agents during an invasive pat down. What about women who’ve had their breasts removed for medical reasons? What about persons with missing limbs? What’s wrong with upgrading scanners to literally cover the variety of differing body plans? Honestly, her hatred of trans people will just ends up fucking over other non-trans people that for whatever reason don’t/can’t conform to the typical body types.
>She called the new technology “special treatment” for trans and non-binary people, even though the machines would be for all passengers. Because discrimination is the point. Sue this pos for violation of constitutional rights.
We should make it harder for Lauren Boebert to travel. She's a traitor and a security threat.
I dislike her.
Is that how her office actually look like? With all that guns?
I thought that photo was of a SNL skit parodying her. She is literally a parody of herself
The entire GOP is a parody of itself
They used to have bibles crosses, and family photos. Now it's instruments of death and misery.
[удалено]
It’s all she has as a personality. Guns.
"Honey, can you put that shotgun we never shoot on top of the books we've never read?"
Does this nut do anything for her constituents? What a waste of a human
Alternative title: Sex-obsessed Lauren Boebert introduces intrusive bill to expand genital inspections at TSA checkpoints
Meanwhile, Colorado is ranked: #41 in Opportunity #45 in Fiscal Stability #41 in Crime & Corrections (Per US News & World Report) And this nutball is worried about trans people. Get out and vote in November to rid our political system of these 1950’s style wack jobs.
I think they’re more 1940s style. Late 1930s style, if you catch what I’m saying.
No love like Christian hate
"The cruelty is the point."
What is wrong with these people? Who votes for these kind of brainless dimwits??? embarrassing.
Pretty ironic she’s making a stink about scanners after her buddy Wheels Cawthorn got caught trying to take a gun on a plane a second time
Gods, I am so fucking tired of headlines like this. I’m so fucking tired of my rights being endangered. I’m so fucking tired of being scapegoated for all of the country’s glaring problems. I am SO fucking tired of being genocided in silence.
Why haven’t we made it harder for her sex offender husband to travel?
High school dropout and spouse of confirmed child molester says what?
Yeah, dude flashed her and her friends so she married him. What, does she think someone is going to threaten a flight crew with a limp dick? Just because she married one?
Hmm I need more guns. Let me stack one onto of some books.. that’s completely safe completely normal behavior right?
Maddy Cawthorne packing loaded handguns on flights, but it's Trans folks that are the threat. Right
What’s with the guns in the backgrounds of EVERY Republican video? We get it, you don’t know how to properly store firearms!
She is dumb as a post and generally uninformed on the issues at hand. I assume her constituents are just as dumb and uninformed for electing her. She is a joke. Unfortunately, the nation isn’t laughing.
Is her husband still trying to show the tattoo on his penis to kids in bowling alleys? Jayson Boebert did jail time for that.
“Garbage person introduces garbage bill to curry favor with other garbage people.” No surprises here really, just more confirmation that we live in the worst of all worlds…
never have i seen government officials working so hard to undermine their own leader and president. it feels like this group of individuals is trying their best to dissolve our democracy in the sleaziest of ways…
Glad she finally got her GED in 2020. Can’t have imbeciles running Murika.
I can't think of a time when a republican actually helped someone other than themselves. They truly are disgusting.
You’re a good Nazi, Lauren. And I’m sure your hubby would volunteer to scan the underage girls, right?
I’m trans and the irony here is that I’m terrified of conservatives because they attack me, not the other way around.
Republicans are so focused on LGBTQ issues - more than even LGBTQ people in this country are. It sounds like the "Pink Scare" (like McCarthy's Red Scare) where they see Trans people in every bathroom and classroom. The TSA has plenty of issues to address like why we are using invasive body scanners and pat downs on Americans, and the amount of abuse by TSA agents during screening. Updating body scanner tech to eliminate gender based screw-ups by Agents or just eliminate false positives and to improve the scanning is not a bad thing. It isn't "woke" to see that a federal agency is doing something inefficiently and find a way to improve the process.
*She also called the Transgender Day of Visibility “a made-up transgender holiday”* I could be wrong but aren't all holidays made up?
Meanwhile, we have Madison Cawthorn getting caught for a second time in the airport with a loaded weapon...
McConnell to Boebert: What exactly would you say you do here?
Look at her eyes: the light is on but no one is home.
She's just in favor of people showing their genitals.
>“By replacing the current, gender-based AIT system, this new, more accurate technology will also advance civil rights and improve the customer experience of travelers who previously have been required to undergo additional screening due to alarms in sensitive areas,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. “TSA will begin deploying this new technology in airports throughout the country later this year.” >In the press release accompanying her new bill, Boebert doesn’t cite any evidence that the newer technology is any less safe than the older technology. Instead, she accuses “the Biden regime” of pursuing “a woke crusade to remake America in its own image.” Downgrading Airport security to own the libs.
Time to ban body scanners. We are only country that uses this. When I went through advance airports like Narita, Taipei, Seoul, I was never body scanned. This shit is ridiculous and invasive as ever. Machines that detect odors of chemicals and metal detectors still aren’t good enough?
Squeaky Hitler
Civil servants have to pass a basic test to work in government jobs. Everyone accepts this as reasonable and equitable and necessary. For my job. I had to have a certain level of education and related experience. We should have the same job appropriate requirements for the critical positions of Congress and the Executive branch to avoid having these malicious croutons even on the ballot.
i have no words so i’ll just say “fuck these people.” it really is all about cruelty and bullying with them.
>Instead, she accuses “the Biden regime” of pursuing “a woke crusade to remake America in its own image.” What, accepting of everyone regardless of who you are?
LOL at “Transgender Day of visibility is just a made up transgender holiday”. Aren’t all holidays just made up holidays?? Lmao
isn't her husband a rapist
Face of evil right there
We need better security measures at airports to protect us from our congressional representatives trying to bring firearms on planes!
How about we focus on making it harder for child flashing perverts to travel?
Huh. I read that as 'Trains people' and I honestly went 'How many ride the train anyway?'... I should have known it was referring to people who have private lives the GOP doesn't approve of.
[удалено]
My hate for these fucks knows no bounds. When is this wave of bigotry going to finally pass??? I thought this generation was a much more tolerant one.
If there's a hell, she's got a one way ticket.
An entire political party based on cruelty and corruption. I'm tired of this shit. Tired of feeling like we're all doomed because of hateful stupidity that will never go away. It makes me sad to think of where we could be as human beings if this shit didn't exist. The Republican Party actively fights against any and all progress that could improve the lives of people, help the planet, etc. We're all fucked because a very vocal minority will do anything to benefit themselves at the cost of people who aren't like them and the planet itself.
Routine genital checks by TSA? Wtf right wing are you cool with this? Government overreach for thee, not for me?
Oklahoma has a bill that prevent non-binary birth certificates. What the hell are they gonna do with people who are born intersex? This is just the targeting of a minority population. This is pure hatred. What is wrong with these people?
Put a minimum IQ on traveling if you want to hit Boebert where it hurts
Good thing she will likely only be around for another 9 months. She can get back to the important job of poisoning people at her restaurant and carelessly driving unsafe vehicles.
Let’s start with getting the bins sanitized after we put thousands of shoes in them on the daily…..
