We do need serious leadership over her entertainment/outrage approach. Someone called it “angertainment.” That sums it up.

Completely out of her league.
In the weeds INSIDE the woods.
A McDonalds French Fry Cook is more competent.
Not only out of her depth, she’s down in a deep diving pool and can’t get to the surface.
If being a constitutionally illiterate, useless loudmouth was an Olympic sport, she would be the number 1 seed.

I’m hoping she gets tossed, because if she stays long enough, we have to pay her pension for the rest of her damned life. That’s 18 years away, but still.

Under both CSRS and FERS, Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at the age of 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. Members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service

Lots of McDonalds French fry cooks are working their way through college by cooking fries. They’re better people than Boebert will ever be.

She's from a town called Rifle and went to Rifle High School (but didn't graduate)??

Anyway, according to Google it's now 50.2% to 49.8% AF, which is within recount territory. 😥

Not for certain yet, but her brain dead, zombie base will probably reelect her.
It's very frustrating to see such an incompetent person making decisions that affect the entire nation.

Colorado is so intelligent and prgressive in so many ways, then we get this 3rd grade dropout to represent a good chunk of our state. Makes me want to puke.

She spent two years in D.C. sowing lies and promoting chaos and then asked for a pardon.

Democrats have to get away from cautious nuance and just say it like it is. I love that he managed to say so much in such a short period of time.

I know what you mean about only having one minute to respond, it can be so frustrating and we really don't learn much. Someone said, that may have been a closing statement.

You just know that over the years, republican politicos laughed at Democrats behind their backs. I'm all for being decent and civil, but it isn't healthy to be a perpetual doormat.

Otherwise, if you say someone voted against x, it gives the responder the opportunity to say, yes I did but there was another part of that bill that was horrible.

Love that he added a simple date. Made it more real and verifiable

Apparently more than half of the voters in the district don't give a flying fuck about veterans, or roads, or much else that actually impacts them.
