Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 80 points 8 months ago

It's such fucking childish bullshit... Every goddamn time someone on the right is called out on something they just pull a "I know what you are but what am I?"

Everything is just flipped: Trump is the fucking crime family... Now apparently Boebert is too.

They pull this shit with everything so that they level the playing field, when BoTh SiDeS are the same you can stick with voting for your asshole of choice because "the other one is just as bad so my dude says I'll get free cookies, I'll go with him."

Now? You know both boebert and her ex-husband have criminal records, right? You know how they met? She was a minor, hanging out at a bowling alley and he, an adult, was walking around flashing his dick at children. I can't remember exactly what hers was, but I'm pretty sure it was an assault related charge or something

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 19 points 8 months ago

From the article:

Her ex-husband – and Tyler’s father – Jayson Boebert was famously arrested in 2004 for exposing his genitals in a bowling alley where minors were present. Rep. Boebert, who was 17 and not married to him at the time, was one of the witnesses in that case. He got four days in jail and two years probation for lewd exposure and public indecency.

This is the very opposite of a meet-cute.

The worst part, following your colloquialism to "level the playing field," is that while the Republicans are pointing to distract their constituents, they're stomping down tons of mounds of shit and trying to use some of the shit to fill in divots. When people look back at the Republicans' field after just scrutinizing the Dems', they're craning their necks to see the Republican side of the field because it's dozens of feet higher and filled with compacted poopie.

Then, they have the audacity to look down on the people from their hill of shit and start crowing all indignantly "but is my field not as level as theirs???"

Seriously, the conservatives are like the epitome of projection at this point.

[-] Clent@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

It's funny until one recalls how many times they've accused the left of being pedophiles.

There's gotta be one like this for her lewd behavior in the theater too!

[-] HWK_290@lemmy.world 43 points 8 months ago

Boebert rails against Beetlejuice, then beats her date til he juices

Didn’t that Sarah Palin do this same thing? Like 20 years ago? Its like I keep seeing this movie over and over again.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Yeah she did! Conservative Christianity was a deranged cult long before Trump worship made everything much worse lol

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 10 points 8 months ago

The theatrics of American politicians is like a bad remake of Groundhog Day

Yeah, but unlike with Biden it is unfair to judge her by the crimes of her children! /s

Bobo is a walking advertisement for planned parenthood and contraception of all kinds.

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago

So is Sarah Palin. From her kids' class schedule names (Track, Trig, Physics, etc), to all the divorces in her family (her and Todd, Track and his ex-wife, Bristol and her two ex-husband's), to Bristol Palin's kids' goofy names (Tripp, Sailor, Atlee, Cocoa Krispies, etc.), to all the kids conceived out of wedlock (Track's then-wife of only a few months, Bristol and her three kids with two different fathers)...

...all of which would be absolutely fine is the lot of them didn't preach "traditional family values" and shit. Hell, Bristol Palin surrounded her work as an ambassador for Candice's Foundation preaching abstinence with having three kids out of wedlock while she and her mother criticized Obama for being in favor of same-sex marriage.

Fuck the whole lot of 'em.

I know what confirmation bias is, but man, it's ALWAYS projection.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 48 points 8 months ago

I heard Boebert has a cleft butthole

It doesn't make a ton of sense to argue that Biden is incompetent and somehow magically running a crime family. Those opinions do not jive with one another.

Also, yes, Boebert probably isn't someone who should comment on criminal activity, especially after deciding to fuck someone in a crowded theater.

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak". On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

It's so frustrating that she's 100% in the wrong, but this is still going to legitimize her complaints about Hunter Biden. I can already see the responses complaining that her son got arrested, therefore so should Hunter.

I hate it here.

Five felony counts? Jesus christ, that boy's going to prison. I mean, the parents kind of explain it, but christ can't you learn to cash in on your mom's political idiocy instead of stealing cars? (Not that she's going to get re-elected. She's sunk. She's going to lose this primary and it wouldn't surprise me if her son's charges are part of small town cops suddenly deciding to not turn a blind eye at JUST the right time.)

[-] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Rookie numbers... for the cops. He definetly committed way for than 5 crimes in recent years. Crime is a lifestyle

A family that crimes together, does time together. How wholesome.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

That is all they can do is project.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

So? Jesus NEVER said your CHILDREN can't commit crimes! Unless their name is HUNTER! It's in the Bible!

The thing I like about Bogurt is that she just cant help but be hillariously unhinged and corrupt. If life was a comedy movie and not a tragedy reality she would be my favorite character for being too stupid to get anything right and just failing upwards anyways. Her and Marjorine Turning Greene would be good as co-antagonists (theres no good guys in this hypothetical movie) in an american pie style movie focused on gross cougars trying to reclaim their lost feelings of youth and relevancy

Sadly in reality she represents the rot of our society

Edit: forgot to add, they are so tone deaf they keep making Biden sound cooler and cooler. Why not just call him the Godfather at this point?

How old is that woman and why does she look like her face is more plastic than the octogenarian in the other pic?

[-] Wrench@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

There are a lot better ways of ragging on that vile cunt than appearance shaming.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 9 points 8 months ago

And if we are going to call one of them out about their looks, let's talk about MTG's Cro-Magnon forehead.
