Vying for most ignorant while being loud in Congress with Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Do they not even have aides who can explain things to them?

How Ken Buck's departure affects Lauren Boebert

Buck's departure further shrinks the GOP's slim majority, meaning Republicans can spare only two votes on legislative matters before needing Democrats to back their measures, and that further complicates Rep. Lauren Boebert's campaign to replace him as Colorado's representative for the 4th congressional district, according to the Colorado Sun.

Boebert had switched districts after Buck announced his impending retirement to avoid a stiff challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd district, but Buck's immediate departure will set up a special election in which the state Republican and Democratic parties will choose a nominee – and there's no guarantee they'll pick the controversial Boebert.

Further complicating matters, Boebert would have to resign her seat in the 3rd district to run in that special election because Colorado law prohibits a candidate from running for more than one office at a time, and her resignation would set up yet another U.S. House special election before the end of the year.

  Raw Story

She's toast.  And deservedly so.

Wow

There is pretty much nothing left in the GOP but crazies.  It should change its name to MAGA party and let the handful of halfway reasonable Republicans in the country try to rebuild.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Chicken

Boebert implied in the video that her departure from the district would help Republicans retain the seat, saying, “I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat. It’s not fair to the 3rd District and the conservatives there who have fought so hard for our victories.”

  Politico

She's doing it for the good of the party. Sure.

While it’s not required that a representative live in the congressional district they represent, only the state the district is in, Boebert said she would be moving — a shift from Colorado’s western Rocky Mountain peaks and high desert mesas to its eastern expanse of prairie grass and ranching enclaves.

Maybe they'll be more receptive to her ignorance and bawdy behavior there.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

And speaking of the Busty Bitch

Migrants receive help from private groups and government agencies, but they are not getting thousands of dollars each month from the government as Republican Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert claimed to her millions of followers on social media.

[...]

CLAIM: "Biden is giving each illegal family $2,200 per month plus a free plane ticket and free medical care."

VERDICT: Not true.

When we asked where the $2,200 per month dollar amount came from, Boebert’s press office provided a link to an article from The Gateway Pundit.

That is a far-right website known for posting misinformation and election denial claims.

[...]

The Gateway Pundit article cites an anonymous Border Patrol agent for the claim that people are receiving monthly stipends from the government.

  9News

Boebert's lies are such a surprise from someone with such a sterling background, too.

Boebert was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on December 19, 1986.[10] When she was 12, she and her family moved to the Montbello neighborhood of Denver and later to Aurora, Colorado, before settling in Rifle, Colorado, in 2003.[11][12] Boebert dropped out of high school during her senior year in 2004 when she had a baby;[13][14] she earned a GED certificate in 2020, a month before her first election primary.[13][14]

[...]

After Boebert's mother, Shawn Roberts Bentz, accused professional wrestler Stan Lane of fathering Boebert, Lane took two paternity tests, first in the 1980s and the second in 2023, to prove that he was not Boebert's father.[230] According to Boebert: "My mom was 18 when she had me, which inspired me to be a mother when I was 18 years old."[144]

[...]

Boebert claims that her family depended on welfare when she was growing up,[15][13][16] and that she was raised in a Democratic household in a liberal area.[16][17] Records at the Colorado secretary of state's office show that her mother was registered to vote in Colorado as a Republican from 2001 to 2013 and as a Democrat from 2015 to 2020.[16] At age 19, Boebert herself registered to vote in 2006 as a Democrat; in 2008, she changed her affiliation to Republican.[16]

According to Boebert, she became religious while attending a church in Glenwood Springs,[18] and that she became a born-again Christian in 2009.[19] She has said she volunteered at a local jail for seven years, but attendance logs at the Garfield County Sheriff's office show that she volunteered at the jail nine times between May 2014 and November 2016.[20]

[...]

In 2016, Boebert was cited for careless driving and operating an unsafe vehicle. On February 13, 2017, she was arrested and booked in Garfield County Jail for failure to appear in court on these charges. She pleaded guilty to the unsafe vehicle charge, and the careless driving and failure to appear charges were dismissed.[238]

UPDATE 09/16/2023:

After the video went viral...

“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family,” the Republican congressmember wrote on social media Friday night. “I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.”

  Politico

We can see how hard she was trying. LOL.

[T]he footage, widely circulated on social media, shows Boebert vaping, blowing smoke into the air, dancing in her seat, taking photos of the performance and giving ushers the middle finger while being escorted out of the theater.

[...]

Another video appears to show Boebert and her male companion fondling each other sexually during the show.

Boebert did not directly address the second video in her Friday apology. She did mention her vaping but claimed that she had previously denied it only because she “did not recall” having done so.

Seek medical attention for memory loss.

“Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated production or the natural anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I discussed the night’s events with my campaign team while confirming my enthusiasm for the musical.”

She never learned how to conduct herself in new environments, I guess. After all, she didn't finish high school.  As for the sexual business in a public place, bonobo monkeys do the same thing when they're feeling natural anxiety.  Lauren Bonobo.  Has a nice ring to it.

Your MAGA Congress in action

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) sparred Tuesday over who deserves credit for House Republicans moving ahead with an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

[...]

“When @SpeakerMcCarthy makes his announcement in moments, remember that as I pushed him for weeks, @kilmeade said I was: ‘Speaking into the wind’ on impeachment,” Gaetz posted Tuesday morning on X, formerly Twitter. “Turns out, the wind may be listening!”

[...]

Greene, a supporter of McCarthy, snapped back at Gaetz for his comments. She noted she filed impeachment articles against Biden “on his very first day in office,” despite actually doing so on his second day in office.

“You wouldn’t cosponsor those and I had to drag you kicking and screaming to get you to cosponsor my articles on the border,” Greene retorted in an X post. “Who’s really been making the push?”

  The Hill

Christ.

So apparently Lauren Bobert was then needing some attention, and...

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was escorted out of a Denver theater in the middle of a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” Sunday night for allegedly “causing a disturbance,” according to a report in The Denver Post on Tuesday.

[...]

The incident report, which did not include any names, said two patrons were asked to leave the theater about five minutes after the second act began of the touring Broadway musical “Beetlejuice.” It claimed the two patrons were vaping, singing, recording and “causing a disturbance.”

[...]

According to the incident report, the two patrons were warned during intermission to stop certain behavior after three audience members complained. The report said the patrons were escorted out after security received another complaint “about the patrons being loud and at the time [they] were recording,” The Denver Post reported.

The two patrons, even after being escorted to the lobby of the theater, refused to leave.

“They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would [be] going to get Denver Police. They said go get them,” an usher said in the incident report, according to The Denver Post.

Police reportedly arrived and stayed in the lobby until the two patrons left.

[...]

While Sunday’s incident was resolved without much trouble, Boebert has found herself in trouble before. She was arrested and summonsed at least four times in the years leading up to her election to Congress in 2020.

  Denver Post

She was sooooo vaping, and Denver's 9News has the receipts.

Catfight on the House floor

The messy feud between two of MAGA world’s biggest stars burst into public view on Wednesday, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a “little bitch” to her face on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. [...] [T]ensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote.

  Daily Beast

Not only that, but they wouldn't break it up when called to do so.

According to two sources that saw the exchange and a third familiar with the matter, the back and forth began when Boebert approached Greene—then seated in the chamber—and confronted her over “statements you made about me publicly.”

[...]

According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution. “I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me,” Greene told Boebert, according to a source who witnessed the exchange. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”

[...]

“OK, Marjorie, we’re through,” Boebert then said, shrugging her shoulders.

With Boebert’s back turned, Greene responded: “We were never together.”

[...]

“Lauren Boebert never addressed the conference,” Greene said. “I made it clear to the conference that I have introduced articles of impeachment, literally since Joe Biden’s first day in office.”

“I have been talking about it with everybody forever,” Greene continued. “Literally, everyone. Forever, ‘til I’m blue in the face. You see me? I’m blue in the face.”

[...]

Greene revealed she told Boebert she was annoyed that rather than support her own impeachment effort, she overtook it. “It’s purely for fundraising,” she told Semafor. “It’s throwing out red meat so that people will donate to her campaign because she’s coming up on the end of the month, and she’s trying to produce good fundraising numbers.”

Greene should know fundraising stunts when she sees them, since that's her only mode of operation.

Boebert declined to speak to the GOP conference on Wednesday about her fast-tracked impeachment resolution, after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) invited her to do so ahead of a Wednesday morning, closed-door conference meeting.

Oh no! And Marj thought SHE was Kevin's lieutenant.  Why would he help Bobo?

McCarthy has already come out against the impeachment resolution.

[...]

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL)—a fellow House Freedom Caucus member—disagreed with Boebert’s decision to force a vote so quickly on such a weighty matter.

[...]

The bitter impeachment spat is just the latest in a string of deteriorations that have turned a once warm relationship between Boebert and Greene ice cold.

[...]

Once a pariah in the Republican ranks, Greene made herself an indispensable ally to McCarthy, boosting his credibility with the far-right while she began to win over some former detractors in the party mainstream.

Despite winning re-election in 2022 by just 500 votes, Boebert has tacked even harder to the right. She has aligned herself with a small faction of conservatives who opposed McCarthy’s speakership, and appears determined to undermine him wherever possible.

[...]

Both Greene and Boebert have since become vocal proponents of impeaching Biden and other Democrats—to the delight of the MAGA base—but their jostling to be the first and loudest Republicans to own the push has resulted in a major escalation of their feud.

Couple of competitive bimbos.

The Retribution Caucus has won out

The House of Representatives has voted to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff for his past actions while chair of the House Intelligence Committee in leading investigations into then-President Donald Trump.

The vote was entirely along party lines, with the California congressman calling the resolution "false and defamatory." Democrats attempted to kill the bill from advancing but were outvoted.

[...]

The resolution claims Schiff misled the American public over the course of congressional investigations into the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia, given that other probes have not found conclusive evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

[...]

Wednesday's vote came a week after nearly two dozen Republican House members voted alongside Democrats to table a similar motion that would have imposed a $16 million fine on Schiff. [Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.] updated [her previous] resolution, which instead censures him and refers him to the House Ethics Committee for a probe, brought the Republicans on board who didn't support the measure last week.

[...]

"You honor me with your enmity. You flatter me with this falsehood. You, who are the authors of a big lie about the last election, must condemn the truth tellers and I stand proudly before you," Schiff said on the House floor.

[...]

The House last voted to censure a member in 2021, when Democrats were in control of the chamber. They issued a formal rebuke to Arizona GOP Rep. Paul Gosar for posting an anime-style video on social media that depicted the killing of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

[...]

Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced impeachment resolutions targeting members of the Biden administration, and Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert has offered a privileged resolution to impeach Biden himself. It's unclear when potential votes on those resolutions would take place.

UPDATE :

Lauren Boebert must be shitting herself.  

Oh, my.... 

Boebert’s statement on the matter offers little insight into why the couple is splitting, beyond alluding to “irreconcilable differences” and denying infidelity on her part. But The Colorado Sun reports that when Jayson was served divorce papers on April 25, he “was extremely angry,” according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. “I tried to hand him the documents but [he] did not take them. He started yelling and using profanities, and told me that I was trespassing, and that he was calling the Sheriff’s Office,” the process server who served Jayson said. [...] “I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside of the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out.” The process server claimed Jayson was drinking beer and cleaning his gun when being served.

[...]

Jayson denied threatening the process server and said he “did not know what I was being served for or if it was some crazy left wing person coming to my house again.” He also denied the process server’s claims that he was drinking while cleaning his gun.

“The divorce is sad, I did not expect this, I love her with every bit of my heart, she has been my soul mate and she is the mother of my Children,” Jayson said. “We have been through a lot together and I just want her to be happy.” He concluded: “So it’s what ever she wants.”

  Yahoo

Obviously she wants to leave your ass behind.

Boebert filed for divorce in county court on April 25 and requested parental support and decision-making power over her and Jayson’s four sons. She’s discussed her marriage at length in her memoir published last year, including addressing the incident in 2004 when Jayson was arrested for and pleaded guilty to public indecency and lewd exposure after allegedly exposing himself to two girls at a bowling alley. Boebert expressed that she was proud of Jayson, because he “needed the alcohol and anger management classes that came with the plea deal.”

[...]

The same year as the bowling alley incident which had prompted Boebert to suggest in her memoir that Jayson needed the “anger management classes,” she and Jayson were arrested for separate incidents of alleged abuse toward each other. Jayson was arrested for a domestic violence charge a month after the bowling alley incident, and Boebert faced third-degree assault, criminal mischief, and underage drinking charges a few months later.More recently, last summer, Jayson had the cops called on him by the couple’s neighbors, who accused him of threatening them and running over their mailbox while drunk.

They were just a wild couple, weren't they? These are the kind of people who really shouldn't have guns. Her antics in Congress seem to indicate she hasn't changed a whole lot.

The eldest of their four sons, 18, is expecting a child with his girlfriend, Boebert announced in March.

Kind of a Sarah Palin redux story.

Boebert, mind you, is a Bible-thumping Congresswoman who insists that everyone who can’t live up to the right-wing family values that she can’t seem to uphold, herself, should be punished.

Not surprising or unique though, is it?

Boebert fails again

They never seem to get tired of being unprepared for their absurd hearings.  When all you want is angry clips for Fox News, it usually doesn't matter.  But what the fuck, Lauren?  Did you do ANY research? Rhetorical question.  The answer is obvious.

Self-owning Republican committee

Despite their own past behavior, Republicans are using their newfound control of the House to probe Democrats’ and federal law enforcement agencies’ interaction with Twitter.

[...]

WHEN THE WHITE House called up Twitter in the early morning hours of September 9, 2019, officials had what they believed was a serious issue to report: Famous model Chrissy Teigen had just called President Donald Trump “a pussy ass bitch” on Twitter — and the White House wanted the tweet to come down.

That exchange — revealed during Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on Twitter by Rep. Gerry Connolly — and others like it are nowhere to be found in Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” releases, which have focused almost exclusively on requests from Democrats and the feds to the social media company. The newly empowered Republican majority in the House of Representatives is now devoting significant resources and time to investigating this supposed “collusion” between liberal politicians and Twitter.

  Rolling Stone

Ooops.

The Trump administration and its allied Republicans in Congress routinely asked Twitter to take down posts they objected to — the exact behavior that they’re claiming makes President Biden, the Democrats, and Twitter complicit in an anti-free speech conspiracy to muzzle conservatives online.

[...]

But during both the Trump and Biden presidencies, these types of moderation requests or demands were routinely sent to Twitter by the staff of influential GOP lawmakers — ones with names like Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik.

[...]

The obvious irony here is, the sources note, that Republican leaders and elected officials have long been committing precisely the kind of “government interference” that they are now investigating, fundraising off of, and accusing Democrats and the so-called anti-Trump “Deep State” of perpetrating. Some of the loudest conservative and MAGA voices on Capitol Hill — who’ve been endlessly demanding taxpayer-funded, high-profile investigations into Big Tech “bias” and “collusion” — were themselves engaged in the behavior they now claim is colluding.

I wonder if Matt Taibbi and Jonathan Turley - or indeed, Elon Musk himself - will have anything to say.

Other posts on this insane flop of a committee can be found here and here.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability had its first chance to air out its chuckleheaded conspiracy tales about Twitter's "suppression" of the news about Hunter Biden's laptop. It took up most of the legislative day on Wednesday.

[...]

When Rep. Lauren Boebert threatened a witnesses with arrest and prosecution for...something...and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked Comer if he didn't think this violated committee protocols on witness intimidation, Comer fumbled and foozled around until an aide at his shoulder prompted him to reply, “We don't agree there was witness threatening.” (He couldn't come up with that on his own?)

[...]

Comer put a blow-up of the NYP front page in question behind his chair. That story speculated that the laptop contained evidence that Joe Biden had gotten a Ukrainian prosecutor fired because the man was closing in on one of Hunter's business partners. This, you may recall, was the primary red herring Republicans tossed out as an alternate theory of the crime during Impeachment No. 1. One person who remembered that quite clearly was rookie Rep. Dan Goldman, whose previous gig was lead counsel for the House Judiciary Committee in that very matter. He took Comer out for a walk.

Sad news out of Colorado

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) officially clinched another term in the House on Monday after a recount confirmed her razor-thin victory in her reelection bid.

[...]

[T]he race was unexpectedly close, given the heavy GOP tilt of Colorado’s 3rd District.

[...]

A tally of the vote showed Boebert defeating her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch by just 546 votes.

While the narrow margin in the race triggered a mandatory recount under Colorado state law, Frisch, a conservative Democrat, conceded to Boebert last month, acknowledging that the recount was highly unlikely to swing the outcome of the contest.

[...]

In announcing his concession to Boebert last month, he urged supporters not to donate to his campaign during the recount.

“Please save your money for your groceries, your rent, your children,” he said.

  The Hill

Wow. I'm guessing Boebert didn't do the same.

I could be wrong.

Cue the MAGA screaming

The secretary’s office officially announced the recount, required because the vote differential between Boebert and Frisch is within 0.5 percent of the leading incumbent’s total portion of votes, this week amid large-scale expectations that it would occur.

Colorado law calls for a recount whenever the differential is within that small margin of the winner’s total vote.

[...]

All 27 counties in Colorado’s 3rd District will recount ballots pursuant to state law in a process that is required to finish by Dec. 13.
