Now give him the Hunter Biden treatment and watch the MAGA crowd start making excuses that family should be left alone.

Sounds like the Boebert crime family is at it again.

"I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for," the statement said.

She did this by fostering a circus like atmosphere and trying to be Sarah Palin 2.0. I don't even know the names of any other Reps from Colorado, much less anything about their kids. She forced herself and her family into the limelight. Can't blame unwanted attention for being a shitty little criminal. I'd say bad parenting is the more likely culprit.

Sounds like he kinda did ask for it when he commited those 5 felonies.

I don't know anything about him, but I do feel sorry for him. She seems like a horrible person, and an even worse mom. Imagine having her as a mom, and then everyone around knowing her and most hating her. It's got to be tough mentally.

I have zero pity for her. She asked for it and chose to be a shitty person.

Is this the son that made Boebert a grandma?

In the kid's defense, he's a dad now and needs to get bread

Wtf are identity documents?

Kid was probably used by the adults in his life that he thought he was supposed to look up to.

Adults are the people that make the fucked up youth. And those youth then become fucked up adults.

Different article I read said he was breaking into cars to steal insurance cards and registrations.

Sounds like something shitty parenting and shitty adults leads to. I've been close to shit like that. It's all about shitty parenting or who grooms the the kid. Parents let their kids get taken advantage of by the street or media they don't understand. Sadly because most people are very naive to how real the world. It sucks... It's really really fucked up.

It's like they feel that since the Democrats control the executive they no longer need to parent, and it works out for them

"My kid was was arrested for racking up fraudulent charges on counterfeit bank cards. THANKS OBAMA!" -Absent Conservative Parents

I miss that meme, the guy in that meme would've been a great scape goat, a shame he's just some guy. I would've voted for him in 08 over the man with his parrot for vp

Those are rookie numbers for a republican. I mean just look at the presidential frontrunner.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

What a trash hick family. Makes sense they're republican.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Time for his presidential run! Just get him to switch from meth to cocaine and find 'Jesus'.
