    They could start in the White House and go down from there

    “Go to church, find Jesus. Like, why is everybody so horny here?” Boebert said to reporters outside the Capitol on Thursday, April 16, before walking away.

    While they’re right to fight these issues, it’s real hard not to comment on the lack of self awareness here.

    The same Boebert that is currently married to the guy that publicly exposed himself to her when she was underaged?

      She’s a terrible rep, she sounds like a tasteless, exhausting, stupid person, yet she does not stand accused of victimizing anyone the way, say, Swalwell is.

      So her stance here may be what some would call “ironic,” but I don’t think its hypocritical.

      Not anymore she divorced him recently. Then got caught and kicked out of a theater for dry humping her date during a live production of Beetlejuice. You know, a shining example of proper sexual conduct.

        She was dry jerking her date. She probably would have dry humped him if she didn’t get caught jerking the dude off over his pants.

        Yeah, it’d be a really long post to rehash all of the reasons this woman has zero business being a judge of character for sexual misconduct. It’s akin to Trump’s board of peace.

    I thought we just had some? Swalwell was gone in less than one Scarumucci.

    How about some for the White House?

      Swallwell has been around for quite a while. I actually liked the guy, I had no idea he was getting up to this kind of nonsense. He can just fuck off.

      That’s the difference between us and MAGA. We don’t tolerate criminal activity, just because they’re on our side. Replace him with someone we can trust. MAGA likes criminals in their ranks.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
