Lauren Boebert claims no deaths on Covid-19

 Lauren Boebert stated there hadn't been a single COVID-19 death in Texas since mask restrictions ended in March. Data shows thousands had, in fact, died.

“Texas removed their mask mandate two months ago, and Sleepy Joe called it ‘Neanderthal thinking,'” she continued. “No, sir. Republicans are just following the science, and since removing the mask mandate two months ago, Texas has not reported a single COVID death. Not one.”

Every time I see an article about her, I have to tell everyone what a piece of shit she is. A lot of you probably already know, but for those who don’t, here we go:

She tweeted “Save the date: Jan 6, 2021” on December 18, 2020

She gave guided tours the day before the Jan. 6th insurrection***

She live-tweeted Nancy Pelosi’s location during the insurrection***

She tried to use the recent Boulder, CO mass shooting to push her pro-gun agenda

She was cited for reckless driving and driving an unsafe vehicle but never showed up for her court dates***

She has been arrested and screamed at the police that she “knew people at FOX News”

She only finished her GED on the campaign trail, meaning she is uneducated but still in a position that makes legislative decisions for the whole fucking country

She makes her whole personality about guns, even had a restaurant in Rifle, CO called Shooter’s Grill where employees and patrons are encouraged to open-carry

She spreads rampant misinformation on everything every time she opens her mouth or tweets anything, as you can see in the article

Her husband exposed himself to minors at a bowling alley and faced zero consequences (sure, not really her being a piece of shit, but it speaks volumes about what she considers okay and the people she associates with.)

Fuck Lauren Boebert. She is an absolute shitsmear on the state of Colorado and the U.S. House of Representatives.

Edit:

I went through the list again to make sure everything was fact-checked, and there are a few changes and specifications I need to make so I’m not the one spreading rampant misinformation.

House Democrats alleged that a GOP colleague gave guided tours the day before the insurrection, and despite nobody having even pointed fingers at her, she denied it by saying she did not “guide any outside groups of ‘insurrectionists’” So... she admitted to giving guided tours the day before the insurrection. Rep. Steve Cohen later gave an eyewitness statement seeing Boebert give guided tours.

In regards to tweeting Pelosi’s location, she specifically said “The Speaker has been removed from the chambers.” This is still horribly inappropriate as any information to Pelosi’s location during the insurrection could have put her life in danger with the amount of people that were there with violent intentions.

She did not have a DUI, which was my misunderstanding, I’m sorry for not checking this one beforehand. She was cited for reckless driving and driving an unsafe vehicle. She didn’t show up for her court date, was arrested for it, and plead guilty.

Rafael "Ted" Cruz 2024

 Ted Cruz under fire for using anti-gay slur as he continues attacks on US military advert

A spokeswoman for Cruz responded to Stars and Stripes. “Sen. Cruz passionately supports the brave men and women of the United States military and has repeatedly expressed concerns that Democrat politicians, left wing bureaucrats, and the media are politicizing our armed forces to promote a fringe woke agenda based on identity politics,” Erin Perrine wrote in an emailed statement. “Our military should be focused on winning wars, and we endanger our national security and our servicemembers when they focus on anything else.”

He has a plan and that is to cause divide within the ranks of the military. This is getting people ready to use the military in elections. These "Patriots" will turn on their unsuspecting fellow Americans including other soldiers. Divide and Conquer is a strategy as old as war. Let's hope Biden gets these assholes out of our military before it's too late.

Ted Cruz roasted for saying military full of “pansies.” This guy wouldn’t defend his own wife.

"Trump made derogatory comments about Cruz's wife, Heidi, but the senator still cozied up to the former president and became one of his staunchest supporters."

This is getting truly weird. Obviously Cruz cares about how he's perceived, that's why he publicly stuck his tongue all the way up Trump's ass. Still, I honestly don't understand these recent publicity exercises. Then again, I have no idea what goes on in the heads of the MAGA crowd. Cruz looks like he's testing them to see just how much assholery and how many insults to conventional Republican values he can get away with. Apparently there's no limit.

Army leaders praise ‘superstar’ soldier after Sen. Ted Cruz criticizes her recruitment video

Yes, Ted Cruz owes this girl a personal apology. This is a real young woman, who graduated at the top of her class in HS, and chose to raise her hand and enlist in the US Army -- kids like her, "Gen Z-ers" like her, they are part of our military's solution, not the problem.

Ted Cruz roundly criticized after sharing Russian propaganda

"GOP Sen. Ted Cruz received a lot of criticism after sharing a Russian propaganda video on Twitter in an apparent attempt to criticize the idea of a 'woke, emasculated' U.S. military."

And Texas is a huge military state. Ft. Hood, Ft. Bliss, Fort Sam Houston, a shit ton of Air Force bases. And also one of the country's largest National Guard organizations.

I don't get how he keeps getting elected. He shits on our military, kisses the ass of the guy that called his wife ugly and his father a killer, skips out of the state during an ice storm, etc.

How can any self respecting Texan say, this guy really represent what we stand for.

Why it matters that Ted Cruz endorsed Russian propaganda (again)

"In 2019, Ted Cruz faced some pushback after endorsing Russian propaganda for partisan purposes. In 2021, he's done it again."

"A couple of years ago, U.S. officials invested a fair amount of time reminding American elected officials about the dangers of promoting Russian disinformation. In fact, the New York Times reported in November 2019 that U.S. intelligence professionals specifically informed senators and their aides that Russia was engaged in a lengthy campaign "to essentially frame" Ukraine for Moscow's attack against our 2016 elections."

While Ted being a smug troll wouldn't exactly be an unusual event, I think the answer to all this Russia love conservatives have been doing the last few years has a simpler and more straightforward answer: They actually like Russia.

The days of Communism are long gone, and now Russia is basically famous for its entrenched business oligarchy and its government-enforced socially conservative political landscape. All things American conservatives are well-known fans of.

That plus the fact its also well-known that Republican patriotism has always only been skin-deep, it kinda starts to makes sense that they'd warm up to Russia. Its pretty good example of the kind of place they think they'd want to live/rule over.

Russia is to conservatives what the Nordic countries are to progressives. And they are starting to express that in the fashion typical of them: culture war nonsense. Except nows its Russian and American right wing culture vs American liberal culture.

He’s trying to set himself up a presidential campaign in 2024 by mimicking Trump. 

January 6th insurrection

Insurrectionist members have received $2.6 million from corporate interests since January 6th

"In just the first few months since the insurrection, corporate and industry PACs have contributed more than $2.6 million to campaigns, leadership PACs, and party committees allied with the 147 members of Congress who fed the Big Lie that led to the deadly attack on the Capitol. In all, 170 business PACs—some of which had previously committed to stop giving—have donated to political committees that support and defend the members who voted not to certify the election results. 

Corporate political giving has long been a corrupting force in Washington—with lawmakers  depending on it for their political survival, while businesses use the donations to gain access to the officials who make decisions that will impact their bottom line. In the wake of the attack on the Capitol, the situation is worse: Corporate contributions are now increasingly an obstacle to holding elected officials accountable—not only for pushing the baseless conspiracy theories that caused the attack, but also for continuing to make excuses for it. "

The article mentions 228 companies, but does not list them.

How does one boycott the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers (Nationwide and Liberty Mutual, etc) , National Association of Realtors, Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, Mortgage Bankers Associations, American Council of Engineering Companies, Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., or National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies? Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association?

Others to boycott: Koch Industries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries)

PNC? (pnc.com?)

Toyota

AT&T

Pfizer

Jetblue

Cigna

Intel

T-mobile

CVS

US Sugar Corporation, FL Sugar Cane League, American Crystal Sugar

I fully support people individually boycotting these companies. I cannot condone some kind of criminal/terrorist bogeyman/witch-hunt for any entity that wants to fund someone's legal defense for ANY CHARGE, no matter how heinous.

If you strip away people's right to a legal defense you are undermining the entire concept of justice in the US. Restricting access to/causing a chilling effect on ANYONE's ability to pay for legal defense counts as stripping away their right to legal defense entirely.

The more politically charged the crime the more important it is they have access to swap counsel at any time, which outside funding enables. Because are we really to believe a public defender won't face political pressure on something this controversial?

Rep. Tim Ryan Unleashes Fury On GOP Lawmakers Opposed To Jan. 6 Commission

"Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) has had it with the Republican members of the House who attacked a proposed bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that was carried out by pro-Trump insurrectionists. 

After thanking those in the GOP who supported the measure ― 35 Republicans ultimately broke ranks and voted in favor of the commission ― Ryan lit into those who voted against it. 

“Holy cow! Incoherence! No idea what you’re talking about,” Ryan said, his voice rising in anger as he pointed to the most obvious and glaring hypocrisy: the endless Republican-led investigations into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. 

“Benghazi!” he said. “You guys chased the former secretary of state all over the country, spent millions of dollars.”"

Bad publicity beats spending time in jail any day.

The only reason they won't cooperate is because they know it will uncover a bunch of Republican politicians were in contact with those inside.

We all watched it. If there isn't repercussions for these politicians for instigating a coup attempt then this country is over. It's going to keep happening.

Make Republicans Talk About the Capitol Riot

"Thirty-five Republicans joined the Democrats who voted unanimously in the House of Representatives on Wednesday to establish a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Now the legislation goes to the Senate, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose support would almost certainly have been enough to defeat a filibuster by Republicans hostile to scrutinizing the deadly pro-Trump riot, has decided to oppose it.

I’ve often said that it would usually be counterproductive to force lawmakers to perform filibusters by giving marathon speeches on the Senate floor, the way they do it in the movies but not in real life. But this might be one time where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats might defeat a filibuster by insisting that Republicans hold the floor, or by threatening to do so."

They’re always going to deflect so you have to constantly bring back the conversation to the original subject. I had a run in with a trump dolt a little while back that ended in his self deletion. He said he supported trump and What he says so I held him to that. I told him he should go to his workplace and tell someone who’s not white to go back to their own country. He tried to wiggle out of it with “well they should come here illegally”. Nope. Not what I said. The squad was told to go back to their own country even those most of them were born here. So either you support it and follow through on it, which just makes you a raging shithead racist, or you don’t follow through on it which makes you a coward and hypocrite. Moron stopped responding and deleted his account 20 minutes later.

These people are cowards and losers.
