This is a quote from Samuel Adams, who owned a tavern in Boston. This was not said by John Adams, the 2nd president.

I'm starting to believe Boebert paid someone to get her GED

[Progressive Jones]

1. The very existence of this skunk disgusts me. nt

[smirkymonkey]

14. +1000

[Midnight Writer]

2. She read it on a bottle cap.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

6. Beat me to it!

[dansolo]

3. Didn't John Adams sign the Sedition Act?

He would have thrown Boebert and her ilk into jail.

[d_r]

4. She doesn't go for that fancy beer

she's a bud light gal

[AZSkiffyGeek]

8. Coors Light - she's from Colorado

[Hugin]

9. PBR...

Can't afford Coors.

[bedazzled]

17. Meister brau

[mwooldri]

20. You mean pisswater?

Asking for the rest of the Anglophone world...

[Irish_Dem]

5. Our founding fathers knew a traitor when they saw one.

And handled them accordingly.

7. To be fair, it wasn't on her particular GED exam...

Nor was anything else, apparently. Including demonstrating the ability to "google."

Boebert is such an embarrassment to her very gerrymandered and unbelievably geographically large district of the western slope. But, damn if there aren't many still there who might support her.

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. Actually, they're both wrong.

It was Sam Jackson.

[underpants]

11. 😄😄😄

12. "Mmm, Mmmmm!! IT'LL GET YOU DRUNK!!!"

[LakeArenal]

13. Yessss.

15. Apologies up front, I'm a Visualist.

New word for someone who makes judgements based on visual attributes. Like an Ageist or a Misogynist or Weightist.

I'm a photographer, have been for nigh on to 60 years. I SEE things and she desperately needs a better publicist. From a strictly visual point of view (redundant?) she's not unattractive (that sort of comes with age) but this photo makes her look bloated and a bit unhealthy. Puffy face and fingers on an otherwise slender body and hands hanging limply at her sides, vacant gaze that doesn't engage.

Being cut off at the knees doesn't help either. Make it a full figure portrait of cut it off above the waist. If the idea is to look defiant she and the photographer really messed this one up.

I won't comment on the content of her soul or her intellectual capacity, she does a much better job of that than anyone else can ever do.

I try not to apply my visual impressions to the character or integrity of the subject because yes you really can put lipstick on a pig (I've done it) so my comments apply more to the poor judgement of both herself and her publicist.

It reminds me of a line from Dr. Who when he destroys the political career of the Prime Minister with a single off handed comment to a reporter covering her speech, "She looks tired, don't you think?"

16. The framing is necessary to include the gun, of course...

and 'arms hanging at her sides' is the gunslinger pose. Much more than aesthetics, you must know your audience.

[GoCubsGo]

18. All that's missing is the idiotic Trump "tough guy" squint.

Should've crossed her arms like Malaria did in her first official First Lady photo, too. Speaking of which, she must be using Melania's kidney surgeon. Hers are crooked, too. With a six-figure salary, you'd think she could afford better undergarments.

19. Hey Lauren, I hear Wal-Mart has sheep de-wormer on sale.

And you probably need to double dose for a few days. Asshole.

[GemDigger]

21. Once again, Lauren is letting her stupid show in bright lights. nt
