The same Boebert that is currently married to the guy that publicly exposed himself to her when she was underaged?

Not anymore she divorced him recently. Then got caught and kicked out of a theater for dry humping her date during a live production of Beetlejuice. You know, a shining example of proper sexual conduct.

She was dry jerking her date. She probably would have dry humped him if she didn't get caught jerking the dude off over his pants.

I’d let the boebs do that to me she’s a gilf.

Yeah, it'd be a really long post to rehash all of the reasons this woman has zero business being a judge of character for sexual misconduct. It's akin to Trump's board of peace.

Well yeah. AOC is going to try to have them held accountable and Bigot Barbie is going to just hold them. You know, good cop bad cop.

She's a terrible rep, she sounds like a tasteless, exhausting, stupid person, yet she does not stand accused of victimizing anyone the way, say, Swalwell is.

So her stance here may be what some would call "ironic," but I don't think its hypocritical.

Loudly and actively publicly defending heinous sex offenders doesn't necessarily make you one, but it certainly makes you a hypocrite for acting like you want to stop them.

That's not even half of the worst of it

“Go to church, find Jesus. Like, why is everybody so horny here?” Boebert said to reporters outside the Capitol on Thursday, April 16, before walking away.

While they're right to fight these issues, it's real hard not to comment on the lack of self awareness here.

“Here” meaning the Beetlejuice! Musical?

GOP: We're in!

GOP: "And btw, you are both too old to sexual assault anyways. So next time bring your daughters, or your daughter's daughter. And their friends. Or, you know, anyone really young!"

Good! The LAST thing we need is Members of Congress giving people Handjobs in Public! Stuff!

Wow, the proverb was right: politics do make strange bedfellows.

They could start in the White House and go down from there

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 136d (1 reply)

I thought we just had some? Swalwell was gone in less than one Scarumucci.

How about some for the White House?

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 136d

Swallwell has been around for quite a while. I actually liked the guy, I had no idea he was getting up to this kind of nonsense. He can just fuck off.

That's the difference between us and MAGA. We don't tolerate criminal activity, just because they're on our side. Replace him with someone we can trust. MAGA likes criminals in their ranks.

They can fuck right off to James Carville's octogenarian asshole where they belong.

The conservative about face only when it affects them directly is exhausting.

AOC should do this with you extreme caution.

I propose every woman on capitol hill carry a 4 inch triangular knife. Any lawmakers with triangle shaped holes need a public flogging followed by prison, if they survive the unstitchable wound.

No! Nothing is allowed to be done by those who aren't 100% PURE

Are you advocating for sexual predators?
