“Do you know who I am?” has to be the saddest flex there is.

"We know, and you should be the example of the people you claim to represent. Shame on you." is the correct response.

Poor her, she had finally found 2 babysitters. One for her children and one for her children's children.

Her behavior fits what I would expect of the people who voted for her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

yeah, my whole premise is flawed because she probably is the perfect example of the people who voted for her...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

This asshole's problem isn't that people don't know who she is.

Her problem is that too many people do, and aren't as impressed with her as she is with herself.

I wish Larry Flynt were still around. I bet he'd do a parody porno targeting this asshole and MTG that would make Who's Nailin' Paylin?0 seem as tame as Howard Stern's old broadcast TV show.

Alright, I'm gonna need you to cast this porno parody. For science...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There aren't any performers I hate enough to cast in this. They'd be likely to get shot by LB and MTG's fans.

No amount of health-risk sharing is able to get me to think twice about quitting vaping, this shit tho.. wow I might actually quit so I don't get grouped up with this twat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Vape cause u like it, not cause how it makes u look

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Meh. Switch to weed instead and don't vape distillate/vegetable glycerine. More fun and less hazardous to your health, imo.

Then you've got nothing to worry about. Keep on chiefing.

In the lobby, the report said they were told to leave the property and they said, “do you know who I am, “I am on the board” and “I will be contacting the mayor.”

They were escorted out of the building with security and DPD.

I love those two sentences back to back.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

"Do you know who I am?!"

"oh sorry senator, let me fix this for you." starts playing clown music as they continue to escort her out. "ahhhh much better."

[–] spaghettiwestern 29 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I love her wagging her finger at the usher at 2:07. Those who voted her in twice should be embarrassed, but who am I kidding, their hatred of "the other" is way stronger than embarrassment could ever be.

Boebert escorted out of 'Beetlejuice' show

Ah yes, the obnoxious ghoul.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Where did this whole thing about her once being an escort come from? Are people just saying that because of the way she looks?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Basically someone accused her of being an escort, doing meth and having two abortions. Now I could discount this at face value normally but she then proceeded to slander the person who made these accusations resulting herself being sued by said person. And she has a very good chance of losing this lawsuit.

The interesting part is that while she claims what was stated by said fellow were lies, she is not counter suing. That seems quite strange unless she is concerned what will come out in discovery.

She needs to go back to being an escort. Do something she might be good at.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't fuck her with Zeus' dick.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

First thing my wife said when I told her about this was, "Was she vaping weed?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

This would be right at home on this old twitter account I used to follow before Musk's takeover "crazy moments in american politics" or something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

anyone have a mirror?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Even detesting Boebert's politics as I do, this is nothing that would cause me to think differently about her.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Anyone have a non-paywall link to the video?

[–] spaghettiwestern 2 points 11 months ago

I run the NoScript addon. It's not something most people would want to leave enabled all the time (because it's a PITA) but it disables many paywalls.
