Lauren Boebert delivered one of her children in her truck, argues against extended parental leave

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado said she delivered one of her four children in the front seat of her truck, comparing her parenthood with that of Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg as she criticized him for taking paternity leave during the supply-chain crisis.

"I delivered one of my children in the front seat of my truck. Because as a mom of four, we got things to do," Boebert in said a video bulletin posted Monday on her YouTube account.

"Ain't nobody got time for two and a half months of maternity leave. We have a world to save here," she added.

Boebert blasted Buttigieg, who announced in August that he would take two months of paternity leave after adopting newborn twins. She said Americans would "know who to blame" if the supply-chain crisis affected Christmas celebrations.

Plus she severed the umbilical chord with her teeth, ate the placenta and licked the baby clean.

1. I think she meant the baby was conceived in the front seat...

[Wingus Dingus]

2. Either way, that truck needs serious detailing.

18. Nah, to them the crusty seats that give off a whiff in the Summer add to the ambiance.

4. Yes she still is lost in it.

[Bristlecone]

5. She's trash. Period.

[SMC22307]

27. Yes. And her messaging is highly effective among RWers. RWers who vote.

They're all now being turned against parental leave. And they get to snigger over the cheap shot about Buttigieg trying to "chest feed" (or whatever it is she said).

I don't know much about her district -- I've heard it's purple -- but she needs to be gone. I'd rather the J6 commission take her out but I'll settle either way.

She could have made it there. She could try to support her community with better health services. However, I sure enjoy some of these comments!

"Trish and I were standing at the snack bar, and she came up and looked at my tattoo on my back, and she pulled down her sock and said, 'look, my is fading,'" she wrote. (The word "tattoo" may have been omitted.) "Then Jayson said 'I have a tattoo on my dick.'"

Boebert failed to disclose her husband's ... jail time for whippin' it out at a bowling alley. The alley dealt with them as a pair, reportedly banning both from the venue.

On her educational background, she said she never claimed to have graduated from Rifle High School. “I went to my high school,” she said. “I was a brand-new mom, and I had to make hard decisions on successfully raising my child, or getting to high school biology class. And I chose to take care of my child,” she said.

A Rifle restaurant owned by Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert once had its liquor license temporarily suspended for serving alcohol to an underage (and undercover) Liquor Enforcement Division employee ... In 2015, the same year of her liquor license suspension, Boebert encouraged minors to flee police detention after the children were arrested for drinking at the Country Jam music festival in Grand Junction ... In another instance of disregarding laws pertaining to juveniles, she let a teenage server illegally carry a gun at Shooter’s Grill.

80 people got sick ... A food vendor failed to seek a license for its mobile stand at the rodeo ... While the county, which officially took over restaurant inspections from the state just a year ago, has said the food booth wasn’t inspected because of the vendor’s failing, the event was at the county fairgrounds. It wasn’t exactly hidden.

20. qbert is a perfect example of a line from a mystery that I read ages ago, "if his IQ

were three points higher, he would be lint."

22. Oh god, I didn't realize it had reproduced.

[Chellee]

23. See, now that's just bad planning on her part.

You knew you were pregnant, right? Not your first go around so you know how this whole labor and delivery thing goes. You know that the more babies you have, the faster they come, so why weren't you at the hospital? Bad planning.

Bad planners should not be in charge of things.
