This is a nothing story. That's not brutal, it's not even mockery. It's a throwaway joke at a circlejerk dinner for politicos.

Article spends a paragraph recounting this BRUTAL TAKEDOWN, then 10 paragraphs recapping Boebert's recent history.

This is why I only read articles where the title mentions someone getting slammed

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well she was in public so there was a good chance of her getting slammed

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Or at the very least manhandled.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm partial to titles where someone gets ripped.

"Lauren Boebert was SAVAGELY EVISCERATED in a Cage Match to the Death!"

Trump's decision to run for president was in part inspired by a throwaway joke Obama made about him being a "birther"... Which when I think about it, is another huge red flag that American voters over looked.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump was the original birther, wasn't he?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No. He’s incapable of having original thoughts.

I believe he was the most prominent early adopter.

If there's one thing they can't stand, it's a loser.

It's worse.

She fucked up one seat by getting Dems to vote. Now she's moving to another and the same thing will happen there.

Every race she runs in helps Dems in that race

My guess is she'll resign from Congress soon to work full time on her campaign for Vice President.
