        These always remind me of like 30ish years ago id take my sisters barbie coloring books and do 10yr old gross and mature young boy “humors” bubbles who woulda thunk this would eventually become a staple of memes over the years. I got in shit something about Skipper making pancakes and Kens bubble saying something like “those flapjacks are always as flat as yours!” Yeah I got pretty cuffed by my grandmother. Well deserved.

    All the news keeps talking about her vaping as though that’s the main problem here. Maybe don’t engage in sexual activities in public. Like, actual sexual activities such as fondling genitals. Not conservatives’ idea of sexual activities, which involves wearing skirts and makeup.

        She was caught on camera fondling a guy in the theater. It probably would have gone unnoticed if she hadn’t called attention to herself by disrupting the show, vaping, and then denying that she was vaping.

      The main problem is that people in Colorado voted for her. Vaping is harmful and it’s a problem for her apparently and could potentially influence others. The pda stuff is icky but more of a social norms issue - so yeah, it’s next on the list. I’m still just utterly repulsed by the main problem though.

        You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.

          Wow, that’s a dismissive statement. So because this district isn’t Denver they don’t count as the people of Colorado? We have a diverse mix of people here–yes some of the stereotypical rednecks, ranchers, and resource extraction jobs, but also artsy types, old hippies, organic farmers, civil service for the public lands, and many members of the local tribes. People have moved here from all over the country (and in some cases the world) with many different experiences and perspectives on life. Lumping them all together as voices that don’t matter doesn’t help anyone.

            Correct. 1,000 people from a very specific region of a state are not representative of “the people” of that state.

              And yet, their actual representation is giving everyone fits. Do you want to get rid of Boebert or not? You can double down on your statement but you won’t accomplish anything besides putting me in my place. The people of this region still vote and the way our government is set up means large cities don’t get to dictate everything. If that were the case NY and LA would be ruling Denver and they could claim to be the “real people” of the U.S.

              Also, where are you getting the number 1,000? That is no where close to the number of people in her district, which is also geographically fairly large (yes, because of the lack of population density). You can be just as dismissive towards everything I’m saying if you don’t like it, but for those of you who have an interest in how Boebert and those of her ilk end up in government, I’m trying to give some insight into her district. Maybe it will be helpful to someone who cares.

        Lol, right. The main problem is the people who voted for her. Definitely worse than giving a handy in a theater full of children. /s

          Like there weren’t warning signs before? She was even re-elected. Colorado is getting what they asked for with this idiot, and yeah, I kind of feel like they deserve it. The most foolish are the ones that didn’t even vote. I hate bad politicians, but if she betrayed your expectations you’re just not even remotely paying attention. Voters need to bear some of the responsibility for their own mistakes.

            You pulled down a grown woman’s dress in a theater, while vaping after being asked not to, let her give you an over the pants handie, while she sings loudly and waves her arms around, in front of kids?

            All of this as a silly teenager? Stones ready, big boy.

                Can I get a video? Just for research… gross research. We’ve all probably acted a fool when younger but as an adult in a mixed environment you shouldn’t need to told to keep tits covered and not to touch genitals. That’s how you end up on a list.

                  True without question or dispute! But the fact that it happened doesn’t surprise or really outrage me at all. I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m excusing it. Someone in her position should not be doing things like this in public no matter how discrete they may have been.

                  But I’ve also worked in movie theaters, so I know for certain this is not uncommon behavior. Every person who works at a theater rotates between jobs, one of which is a theater checker. You’ve probably seen them come in sometimes with flashlights. And yeah…Forgot where I was going with that but I think you get it.

        That or the system is trying to wake us all up from hyper-sleep by throwing increasingly impossible scenarios at us in order for our brains to wake up naturally.

        Except we keep looking at everything and going, “yeah, that makes sense, fuck it” and just not waking up.

        The machines are going mad trying to figure us out.

        Yep, threw us into the ‘most unlikely’ universe because everything was supposed to be destroyed except for the active observer, e.g., you, because paradox.

        Or at least that is the version I like to believe.

          Or, this is our best universe and the rest just get even shittier. That’s my rainbow and unicorn fantasy / no kink shaming pls.

          Or, what if hell is simply consciousness during all the shitty outcomes: the teacher runs out candy when it’s your turn, the bus drives off just when you show up, etc.

          It would mean as we approach the hellspawn timeline, each one of us made it into the angel timeline too.

          Odds are very high we only have one universe because multiple dimensions can be reduced via transformation, but it is progressively more difficult to transform from a lower dimension to a higher dimension: that straight 2d line is probably a straight 2d line in 3d and 4d space.

          Also le boobies in class were always fun I am not sure what the hubbub is all about.

        I don’t know if you want an actual answer but this particular idiot’s opponent was a millionaire whose entire campaign strategy was spamming people with mail pointing out he is not Boebert…so vote for him on that merit? He couldn’t even make any statements on how he would help voters of this district or take a stand on any issues. He’s running again so we’ll see if he has learned anything.

        This area (like so many around the country) is struggling. Outside of the die-hard Republicans who are a lost cause, people don’t appreciate a rich outsider talking down to them. The frustrating part is during the Democratic primary there was another candidate who had a great, progressive platform that included healthcare, taxing the rich, environment, etc. He came in last 😭 So Democrats chose the status quo, and their candidate struggled to get people excited to vote FOR him rather than AGAINST Boebert.

        I think this is a problem that plagues the Democrats on a national level and isn’t a direct reflection of “stupid” rural voters.

          I know they won’t read this comment, but I’d really love to hear from the people who down vote! What do you disagree with? I’ve lived all over the U.S. and even overseas, but I haven’t been everywhere in the world so the great thing about a board like this is people with different experiences can share them. I can speak to my own observations but if I’m missing something please tell me!

      They’re in politics as a sock puppet to serve other wealthy people’s interests not because they have great ideas for improving the lives and wellbeing of people.

      If you killed political donations, cushy job prospects post politics and the crazy idea that corporations are somehow people deserving of representation it might go a long way to purging these cookers from the system.

    I saw this show on Broadway and would not classify it as family friendly or aimed at kids. 90s cartoons were more subtle in their cussing and sexual comments. Fantastic show I would recommend again and again.

    That does not justify what they did though. She may rock the dress, but take your horny selves home. Classic GOP hypocrisy.
