to ease the fear of uncertainty that drives fascists, which is caused in large part by sex on the wrong brain, a heritable susceptibility to the effects of right handed masturbation.

in general women have less of it because of the anatomical and mechanical differences involved but females (boebert, mtg, g thomas, half the fox women) who hold vibrators in the right hand might be even worse off than males like trump and hitler

calling her a fascist hasn't helped much. what about sex on the wrong brain?

hypocrisy is a prerequisite for being republican. maybe they're getting sensitive to it now that leader of the GOP, limbaugh, croaked. he was a master, even though astoundingly ignorant about everything, with rationalizing and deflecting the astoundingly stupid response of republicans to something as no-brainer as global warming.

but he did have some russian help though?

Before you jump on someone, you should do your research. This is now all over the news.

More concerning to Ms. Boebert might be the attention from the Muckrakers PAC, which released a string of sexually explicit videos of Mr. Cawthorn and negative testimonials from the congressman’s former aides, which helped lead to his defeat in the Republican primary in North Carolina last month.

“Colorado deserves more than an irresponsible, loudmouth member of Congress,” said Mr. Wheeler, the PAC’s president. “Maybe it’s time for Boebert to look for another line of work.”

Whether or not she had a legal abortion is for the campaign posters. The deliberate failure to report that kind of contribution (if, indeed, that is what it was), is something that can be prosecuted.

If she gets her way, of course, abortions will also be prosecutable offenses if she has occasion to get one after her Torquemada ruling comes down.

She wants to put people in jail for having an abortion or performing one. And she has had them and hired someone to perform them. Is that not a story? Of course it is.

My real question regarding these white supremecist jackwagons like her is how does this all work out when less POC are able to get abortions and you know damned well that middle class and up white girls will be able to get them if they want them somehow. So what is the real game here? Is it to build a work force? A class even lower than poverty class? What is the goal.

Yeah we shut these fuckers down anyway we can. And if that means promoting their own party’s stance against them, so be it.

I think the election is going not be decided by trying to prove that Boebert and many of the GQP are bigoted hypocrites, but by how well the issues of the economy and crime are discussed.

Do you think that the majority of people will care one whit about how this plays out for Boebert, or will they wonder about the $7 a gallon gas they had to pay to fill up their car on the way to the polls and the huge increase in their shopping bills as a result of increased transportation costs?

Kitchen table economics almost always drive elections. Everything else is mostly noise.

...that Lauren Boebert and her mother have no idea who Lauren's father is...
Shawna Roberts Benz was underage when she gave birth to Lauren in Florida, this much is documented. Also, there is a law in Florida that you must name a father by the time the child is four years old if you want child support from said father. So Shawna picked a father...
From this point, the tragic story of a single, teenage mother turns into Trailer Trash Dinner theater. You'll have to Google it to read the rest but it involves a wrestler with flowing blond locks, a woman who served time in prison for altering DNA tests, and of course, the marriage of Lauren to a sex offender.
