“I really admire her blue suit, so I wanted to capture that for everyone,” she added, smirking. That’s nice! Lying in public is so cute and funny too!
There are convicted felons I’d rather see in Congress than Boebert.
She later told reporters that she had returned to her hotel room and installed “the BleachBit software” that deletes and cleans digital files, and “took a hammer to her iPad.”
“So I guess in regards to any photos, I do not recall!” she said in a video obtained by USA TODAY. Ha-ha! Isn’t she funny? The Congresswoman denies something because she’s destroyed evidence of it!
Boebert and the other bottom-of-the-barrel Republicans are the reason the party faces losing control of Congress. I read several news stories mocking the party because “they” questioned Hillary about the conclusively debunked (and stupid) “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory. It wasn’t “they,” it was Boebert and/or another embarrassing GOP woman on the committee, Nancy Mace. Allowing such unethical incompetents to run for Congress is irresponsible and even suicidal for Republicans, if not democracy itself.
But Boebert, with her worst behavior in Congress yet (as opposed to her disgusting behavior in public), has now elevated (or lowered?) her status to fick: “named in honor of Leroy Fick, a lottery winner who kept receiving food stamps because of a quirk in state law,…someone who openly and blatantly violates social norms of responsibility, honesty or fairness without shame or remorse.”
Does that interest you a little?
If it doesn’t, count on getting more ficks in Congress, with the predictable consequences. Democracy dies in apathy and hypocrisy.
Ethics Alarms 
I suppose my biggest question is what to do about Boebert. I would have zero objection, and would applaud, if she were expelled from Congress. Should I write Rep. Hageman with my outrage over this? Should I include Sen. Lummis and Sen. Barrasso? The problem with Boebert is that without a call to action, there’s little more to comment on. But Boebert is Coloradan, and while that’s next door, I don’t get to vote for or against her. At least, I don’t get to do so ethically or legally.
If I had a GOP Congressman, I’d write a letter. The problem with Democrats demanding her ouster is that it has no credibility given what their party tolerates. But I least I can publicize how disgusting she is…
I just wrote to Rep. Hageman. We’ll see if I get a reply or we see any action.
Bravo. Keep us posted.
We will see if Boebert is going to be censured. Expulsion would be a gift to the Democrats they do not deserve, also considering the small margins between the two parties. She ought to be primaried for November, if that is still possible.
Clearly we’re here for the bikini pictures. Less than 50 views means the three readers here have average-oogled that image at least 16 times in those two days.
This may not have been as disruptive as pulling a fire alarm, but is just as wrong.
Just curious, how do you know about the bikini pictures? How do you know that the 50 views are all from the regular commenters?
One plausible explanation for not getting comments on a post is that the commenters simply agree with the post, without having anything meaningful to add.
Let’s take as example Joe Fitzgibbon, which was posted on two days ago. The post has only two comments. Another reason for not commenting on this post is that nobody knows Joe Fitzgibbon. However people could have a discussion about the wider issue, namely how alcoholism affects ability to hold a job or an office.
I am looking at the previous post about the Clinton testimony during the Epstein trial. I see only one comment on that post which has been up for a couple hours by now. The Clintons are surely no favorites of the EA commenters. So if this post gets only few comments it is surely not related to EA becoming an echo chamber.
The Clintons may also be in Fick territory, as they are cheerfully, proudly, and unapologetically unethical. They are just a million times better at being unethical than that piece of trailer trash named Lauren Boebert. I have some trouble adding comments to both that are meaningful and insightful. And I surmise that many commenters are simply being sick and tired of the Epstein files and wished that this issue simply goes away.
The SOTU was the main political event of this week, that took all the oxygen out of the room. The reaction of the Democrats to the SOTU is an even bigger story than the SOTU. Every political influencer comments on the reaction of the Democrats. And so do the commenters at EA.
Why does Ilhan Omar attract more attention than Boebert? Because Omar represents the radicalization of the Democrats to a party with totalitarian tendencies that downplays the interests of the USA to other interests. This is not a mere ethics issue, it is ideological. Lauren Boebert’s ethical flaws do not represent a lot, except that the GOP is bit of a stupid party that has trouble attracting and vetting nominees for office.
Yes. Ilhan Omar and the Tlaib woman from Detroit are foreign moles in our second highest chamber of elected representatives. How do we have foreigners effectively representing hostile states IN OUR GOVERNMENT? What is wrong with our electoral system? Foreigners can turn a congressional district into their own ghetto and send a foreigner to congress? Something’s wrong here.
Dirtballs like Boebert and Mace are another problem. And then there’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And Adam Schiff, for that matter, who’s now in the Senate. Or Jamie Raskin. These are all villains, even if they’re Harvard Law graduates. I guess it’s just not that hard to win a house race if you are desperate enough to want to win one.
And maybe views are down because we have begun military operations to rid the Middle East and the world of the nefarious Iranian Islamist regime in an attempt to bring stability to that part of the world.
I believe there are several reasons for the lack of interest in the Boebert post.
Was it a good idea to keep women out of politics? I wonder what, oh, say, someone like Wilbur Mills or of his era would have to say about these women. And yes, there re slimy guys galore, but still…. I wonder sometimes whether women know how to negotiate, declare a winner, and move on. Interestingly, it seems, for women, it’s all combat all the time. Anyone? Beuhler?
