Republican CD-3 nominee Lauren Boebert, like President Donald Trump himself, keeps up a steady barrage on Twitter of personally authored commentary–sometimes giving her thoughts on subjects far afield from her mostly rural and mountainous Colorado hinterland district. Yesterday evening, Boebert was speechless (see above) over the news that Joe Biden’s campaign is hosting an online fundraising event for small donations featuring actor Tom Hanks.
You mean Tom Hanks holds dual citizenship in the same way as Rafael Eduardo Cruz hold dual US/Canadian citizenship?
Did she forget the part where he’s related to Honest Abe?!?
2020's metaphors are a bit too on the nose for me. The 3rd is burning down and this loon has a legitimate chance of winning.
But seriously, could we get social services over to the Boebert house? You don't spew this kind of crazy without committing it yourself…
@Mike W: consider also that she's indoctrinating her four kids in this drivel.
That reminds me of a video I watched just yesterday of one of the Republican house candidates in California. She was speaking to an audience about how her daughter had went to Cal State or somewhere, and she started talking about gay marriage being fine and black lives mattering. So of course this woman pulled her out of that school and sent her to a more Jesusy institution…
…and the crowd cheered.
It will really suck have an incompetent racist asshat in Colorado's congressional delegation (well, another one). Where is DMB and what is she doing to stop this?
There was a welcome sign of life of DMB in today's Grand Junction in a story by Charles Ashby. Paywalled, of course. Turns out Boebert has an arrest record.
Is the paywall down now? I got to it w.no prob.
Quite a rap sheet for someone who wants to be elected before Congress.
She wasn't underage but somebody there was:
She was once arrested for disorderly conduct at a Country Jam event in 2015 for harassing police officers who were responding to an underaged drinking call.
And who was providing the beverages? It's certainly a lesser crime than providing a gun to an underage employee to use as schwag.
Looks like Ms Boebert may have a drinking problem: disorderly conduct arrest and a careless driving arrest. I wonder if social services has made any trips to her house?
These are the things that a lowball whisper campaign are made of. It would take someone of Newt Gingrich's or Karl Rove's or Lee Atwater's or Roger Stone's ilk to indulge in it as a campaign tactic. Hopefully DMB stays above board on this.
But it certainly doesn't keep political junkies from chattering about it.
Her mothers' status as a recipient of SNAP benefits seems to have been a source of trauma for the young Ms. Roberts.
She felt judged and stigmatized. So, she judges and stigmatizes those who receive them.
Lauren Opal Roberts had a tough childhood and youth. Single mom, possibly multiracial ( at least that’s what she told edailybuzz) , moved from Florida, raised in Aurora, met and dated a 23 year old man at 17, moved to Rifle, graduated high school there in 2004, became pregnant, married Jayson Boebert in 2005, had 3 more kids, helped him start two businesses in a small town.
Tough breaks, resiliency, choices.
Plenty of women have those same tough breaks and hard choices, yet do not become right wing, conspiracy theory spreading, immigrant bashing, gun promoting, lying threats to public health and democracy.
The hits keep coming:

Wow. That's a huge bong !
First off, this is reaching on Q-bert's part.
Second:
Forget knowing how the process works, even just having a concept of what the phrase "dual citizenship" means. Understanding that is not hard. It's exactly what it says on the tin.
Obviously, Biden has lost the Q vote.
I don't see how he can win without it.
Wait.. yes I do.
He will need to win all the states Clinton won in 2016 plus a few more.
The few more I am hoping for are PA, MI and one other – any other AZ, WI, NC, FL, TX, AK – or any others would all be great.
Gee, I wonder if Boebert objects to others with dual citizenship. Like:
What was Michelle Bachmann's other country?
Switzerland. Doubt they'd really take her.
This clueless, classless, ignorant teabugger woman clearly did not compose this tweet.
Does anyone here (other than MuddyAnus) actually believe CO’s dimwitted little Q cheerleader is even aware of, much less able to correctly apply in a sentence, the term “newly minted”?
Please. Not on Yosemite Scam’s best day.
Ms. Boebert is now being handled. She apparently is ambitious and dedicated enough to listen to her handlers. It will be interesting to see how far she will go along with their instructions.
Laura Bradford didn’t work out so well for them.
Wasn't she the one pinched for drunk driving and had a gun in her car?
That is the one. She did not take the subsequent scolding very well and an already strained relationship fell apart.
Gertie knows more about it than I.
Bradford wasn't handled. Who would be for a state legislative seat? She was recruited by the Mesa GOP to run what looked then to be a losing race against Bernie Buescher, who would have been House speaker if he'd won reelection. Bradford fully expected to lose. She had no plans to go to Denver, let alone acquire the wardrobe expected of legislators. But some $2 million in O&G against Buescher carried the day. Bradford was so shocked she demanded, and paid for, a recount. As far as I know, she's the only winning candidate in state legislative politics to do so. As they say, the rest is history.
The individual in the Q Anon event photo holding the big red, white and blue Q looks to be having an out-of-body experience.
I would argue he's having an out-of-mind experience !
