Murdoch's NY Post just went after Lauren Boebert and her husband

https://nypost.com/2021/01/16/gop-rep-lauren-boebert-and-husband-have-racked-up-arrests/


After going through Lauren Boebert's run-ins with police and habit of not showing up for court, the Post goes into the Boeberts' tawdry relationship:


Boebert’s future husband Jayson also had brushes with law enforcement. In January 2004 he was arrested after allegedly exposing his penis to two women at a bowling alley, according to an arrest affidavit. Lauren Boebert (then aged 17 and known as Lauren Opal Roberts) was also there. Jayson Boebert pled guilty to public indecency and lewd exposure, earning himself four days in jail and two years probation.

In February 2004, he was booked on a domestic violence charge, against Lauren Boebert. He “did unlawfully strike, shove or kick … and subjected her to physical contact,” a spokesman for the Garfield Associate County Court clerk told The Post. They had been dating at the time.

Jayson Boebert ultimately served seven days in jail. The busts were first unearthed by Colorado blogger Anne Landman.

Lauren Boebert took her revenge in May 2004 during an altercation with Jayson at his home in which she scratched his face and chest and trashed his residence, according to a police report. She was slapped with third-degree assault, criminal mischief and underage drinking charges. A rep for the Garfield County Combined Court said they could not reveal any information about the case’s final disposition.

The Boeberts married in 2005, and have four children.





And this is the lunatic who wants to carry a Glock around the Capitol.

Once those days are over - and they go fast - people have to fall back on their personalities, which have an increasingly important influence on our looks as we age.

We all know older people with kind, serene faces. Joe and Jill Biden are good examples.

And we've all see the effect of lifelong anger and resentment on the appearances of many people. Makeup and plastic surgery only go so far.

We desperately need some kind of standard operating procedures for dealing with behavior that disregards rules and ethics put in place to promote respect and ensure safe governance.
To begin, no one should be allowed to run for office who has not completed High School, who has any ties to organizations that promote hate, racism, sexism, ageism or any other ism that degrades.

Most business professionals have licensure or certification requirements, educational requirements, and completion of a certain number of supervised hours working within the field before even being able to be considered.

It is to our own detriment that we have no such requirement to run for Congress. It's no wonder that a gun-toting high school dropout with an arrest record longer than the average resume had no problem getting elected. It's no wonder that a person so depraved, so compromised, and having no interest in the actual job, would be promoted as a good candidate
to run for the highest office in the land with every means at his fingertips to destroy it.
We have some work to do.

Why do I keep thinking back to Lorena Bobbitt and her June 3, 1993, "revenge" against husband/abuser John Wayne Bobbitt? For those too young to remember, Lorena cut off John Wayne Bobbitt's penis as he slept (it was surgically re-attached).

There seem to be multiple similarities in these rather sordid stories. It must go with a territory in which I am, fortunately, a stranger. Well .. not a total stranger. Lorena Bobbitt's defense attorney was my next door neighbor in Alexandria, Virginia, at that time.
