Surely the shame will cause her to resign immediately.

    I, for one, welcome this new definition of Traditional American Family Values!

    Boebert’s boyfriend can be seen groping the congresswoman’s breasts. Boebert takes his hand and pulls it closer to her breasts as she turns to speak into his ear. The Republican congresswoman then puts her hands on her date’s crotch and appears to rub his penis.

    Boebert and the Republican Party have frequently touted that they represent “traditional family values.”

        Well traditionally you would have to get a tug job in the theater while watching a play because you couldn’t get a movie theater blowjob before movies existed.

    I have never seen any indication that Boebert has experienced a moment of shame in her life. She’s pathological.

    Can’t wait to hear how her supporters choose to defend this (and her other behavior at this event). I’m sure they’ve already internally justified it to themselves.

        I’ve only seen headlines in passing taken at face value because I do not care deeper than this about someone with no depth and shit takes on real solutions. Given her behavior I’ve observed in other headlines, she does what I would label as “call girl {person} politics.” Still, I edited the post as “deleted” as I do not have ties to propaganda machines or desire to reinforce one. There are plenty of people whoring for the highest bidders on both sides of the manufactured political circus show and it isn’t limited to any affiliation, race, or gender.

      They’re probably proud of her, but they don’t vote for her. Her district is mostly western CO and wraps around south and east to Pueblo, but Woodland Park’s rep is Doug Lamborn.

    The pearl-clutching coverage is fucking bullshit. Yes, point out her hypocrisy and lies, but claims like “x-rated behaviour” are obvious slander, in a situation so horrid that no fucking slander is even necessary. Its like they just cannot help themselves. They are not our saviours, they’re just the devil waiting in the wings.

      1. it’s snippet meant to generate clicks
      2. her tits were in full view of kids as some dude groped the shit out of them and she returned the favor on his dick.

      X-rated is fairly mild here.

        I think for the X rating you actually have to see penis entering an orifice. R rating is genitals in full view. Fondling over the clothes… I dunno… PG 13? Maybe R? Apparently there is some cabal of old white men who decide the ratings, not me.

        I do think it’s worse than the candidate who was recently outed for having sex with her husband for tips on Chatturbate. Only consenting adults saw those two getting freaky. Bobert was “fiddling” in front of people who just wanted to watch Beetlejuice.

    I don’t really have a problem with this. It was dark and loud, probably. I honestly couldn’t care less about people groping or being groped. Shit…I would’ve done the same thing if I was Boebert’s date and she let me.

      Rewind. Now consider she is representing a political party that proclaims that any/all lewd behavior is demonic in nature and needs to be outlawed into oblivion and that any books that describe the behavior they just performed have already been banned in all schools and public libraries (by said party). That is the current reality, you can’t make this shit up.

        That’s the real issue, her hypocrisy.

        But, honestly, if we’re still fretting over Republican hypocrisy, then we’re way behind. Because they’re shameless af.

      This isn’t about turning up your nose at her behaviour. This is about the lying, the shaming of others, and the double standard she continues to perpetuate through American culture.

      If this were anyone else, she’d be dragging them, because that’s the kind of piece of shit she is.

      EDIT: Autocorrect is vicious.

        Yep, nope, don’t care. Trump’s entire brand was being shameless and she and her other right-wing took it up. They don’t care their own conduct, and holding them to it is a waste of time.

      There are still other people present who probably didn’t want to be part of their sexual adventures. They were deriving pleasure from the presence of those people but the other people didn’t consent to being in the presence of this behavior. That’s wrong.

      It’s the endless hypocrisy. Claiming to be holier-than-thou on Sundays while pandering to evangelicals with constant end-times rhetoric. Then lying through her teeth and engaging in lewd behavior the rest of the week.
