Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

“Do you know who I am?” has to be the saddest flex there is.

"We know, and you should be the example of the people you claim to represent. Shame on you." is the correct response.

Poor her, she had finally found 2 babysitters. One for her children and one for her children's children.

Her behavior fits what I would expect of the people who voted for her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah, my whole premise is flawed because she probably is the perfect example of the people who voted for her...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This asshole's problem isn't that people don't know who she is.

Her problem is that too many people do, and aren't as impressed with her as she is with herself.

I wish Larry Flynt were still around. I bet he'd do a parody porno targeting this asshole and MTG that would make Who's Nailin' Paylin?0 seem as tame as Howard Stern's old broadcast TV show.

Alright, I'm gonna need you to cast this porno parody. For science...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There aren't any performers I hate enough to cast in this. They'd be likely to get shot by LB and MTG's fans.

No amount of health-risk sharing is able to get me to think twice about quitting vaping, this shit tho.. wow I might actually quit so I don't get grouped up with this twat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Vape cause u like it, not cause how it makes u look

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Meh. Switch to weed instead and don't vape distillate/vegetable glycerine. More fun and less hazardous to your health, imo.

Then you've got nothing to worry about. Keep on chiefing.

In the lobby, the report said they were told to leave the property and they said, “do you know who I am, “I am on the board” and “I will be contacting the mayor.”

They were escorted out of the building with security and DPD.

I love those two sentences back to back.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

"Do you know who I am?!"

"oh sorry senator, let me fix this for you." starts playing clown music as they continue to escort her out. "ahhhh much better."

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love her wagging her finger at the usher at 2:07. Those who voted her in twice should be embarrassed, but who am I kidding, their hatred of "the other" is way stronger than embarrassment could ever be.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Fascinating. I’ve never seen a bag of trash take a selfie.

Boebert escorted out of 'Beetlejuice' show

Ah yes, the obnoxious ghoul.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Where did this whole thing about her once being an escort come from? Are people just saying that because of the way she looks?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Basically someone accused her of being an escort, doing meth and having two abortions. Now I could discount this at face value normally but she then proceeded to slander the person who made these accusations resulting herself being sued by said person. And she has a very good chance of losing this lawsuit.

The interesting part is that while she claims what was stated by said fellow were lies, she is not counter suing. That seems quite strange unless she is concerned what will come out in discovery.

She needs to go back to being an escort. Do something she might be good at.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't fuck her with Zeus' dick.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

First thing my wife said when I told her about this was, "Was she vaping weed?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This would be right at home on this old twitter account I used to follow before Musk's takeover "crazy moments in american politics" or something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

anyone have a mirror?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Even detesting Boebert's politics as I do, this is nothing that would cause me to think differently about her.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone have a non-paywall link to the video?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I run the NoScript addon. It's not something most people would want to leave enabled all the time (because it's a PITA) but it disables many paywalls.
