Colorado to Examine Lauren Boebert’s Mileage Claims and Tax Liens
Colorado officials are examining allegations that Representative Lauren Boebert, a Republican representing the state’s western half, inflated the mileage she logged on the campaign trail in 2020 and then used more than $20,000 in reimbursements from donors to pay off years of tax liens on her restaurant.
Be nice to know why her pedo husband has a 600k a year consulting gig too. I’m sure nothing corrupt could be going on there.
You mean his energy consulting gig while she's a sitting member on the House Committee on Natural Resources?? Yeah, I'm sure that's all above board and nothing shady is going on there at all...

38k miles in 2020 on the campaign trail. Thats nearly a full month inside a car moving at 60+mph without stopping or slowing down. I understand she probably has to take the long route being married to a sex offender, but this is obvious fraud..
Colorado to Investigate Lauren Boebert for Alleged Misuse of Campaign Funds
Boebert allegedly used campaign funds to reimburse herself for $22,259 in mileage—a sum strikingly similar to the $20,000 she paid in tax liens for her previous failure to pay unemployment premiums on her restaurant, Shooters Grill. The allegations were brought to the Colorado attorney general’s office by the American Muckrakers PAC, which recently tanked Madison Cawthorn’s congressional run.
“Had Representative Boebert paid her restaurant staff properly and also paid the unemployment premiums to the State of Colorado, an investigation never would have been necessary,” David B. Wheeler, one of the PAC’s founders, told the Times.
As I reported last month, five former Shooters employees told me that Boebert did not pay them on time. Several said that they were paid in cash without taxes deducted.
Pro-tip: failing to withhold payroll taxes and unemployment can often be handled by a former employee with a quick call to the Department of Labor and IRS. If she doesn’t have a tax preparing service, she might also be violating other labor laws. (I once did this and witnessed the glorious results first hand. OSHA, too. Apparently fume hoods are a big deal.)
GQP will throw out Boehert and MTG and still continue on with their regularly schedule coup attempts. There just deposable idiots that are taking heat off everyone else.
GOP Lawmaker: Critics of Christian nationalism are ‘domestic terrorists’
In a bizarre straight-to-camera speech, conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said we should effectively embrace Christian nationalism because it would solve all of America’s problems… and anyone who disagrees with her is a traitor. Somehow.
This rhetoric is past the point of dangerous.
White Evangelical Christian Nationalists are always at the heart of every problem currently facing this nation. It is remarkably consistent.
Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina appears to have again violated a federal conflict-of-interest law by failing to properly report purchases and sales of six types of cryptocurrencies, according to a new congressional financial disclosure.
The reported value of Cawthorn's newly disclosed crypto trades is between $290,000 and $950,000, according to his disclosure, which he filed with the US House of Representatives on Wednesday morning.
Cawthorn reported his trades took place between January and March. By federal law, he had no more than 45 days to publicly disclose them in a certified document submitted to Congress.
You get the uneasy feeling that no punishment or investigation would have occurred had he not spoken out about GOP cocaine fueled orgies, which leads me to think that this is just about the only honest thing Madison Cawthorn has ever said while in office.
The problem(s) with Cruz blaming Biden for Texas’ energy troubles
Texas isn’t just facing questions about the state of its power grid, it’s also struggling with rising energy prices. Sen. Ted Cruz, however, has a message for his constituents: Blame the White House. The Republican senator tweeted over the weekend:
“The impact of President Biden being beholden to the Green New Deal radicals in his party has electricity costs through the roof in Texas.”
The same tweet referred readers to this Dallas Morning News report on rising energy prices in the Lone Star State.
Because Ted Cruz is a liar. Because Ted Cruz will blame Democrats for everything. He blamed doors for the Uvalde mass shooting. Republicans blamed Obama for 9/11. Why do media outlets ask these questions as if Republicans are capable of operating in good faith?
Ted Cruz and the GOP have become the party of blatant Soviet style misinformation because they simply have no other choice if they wish to stay relevant. They know that their policies adversely effect the self interests of a vast majority of Americans. They know they cannot win elections if they’re honest. Their strategy is misinformation and voter suppression. College graduates overwhelmingly reject the GOP because it’s difficult to bamboozle an educated person. The GOP understands that the yokels in the rural states will consistently vote on emotion rather than logic, therefore they need to keep their based constantly outraged with lies, half-truths and one manufactured crisis after another.
Two Weeks After Uvalde School Massacre, Texas GOP Vows Ban on... Taking Kids to Drag Shows
Two weeks after a gunman armed with a semiautomatic rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition massacred 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a Republican state lawmaker announced that he is taking action—against drag shows.
State Rep. Bryan Slaton said Monday he intends to file legislation "protecting kids from drag shows and other inappropriate displays" when the next legislative session begins.
GOP on gun reform legislation: “lEgiSLatiOn dOesN’t wOrK. PaSsIng lAwS woN’t fiX tHiS! tHoUgHts aNd PraYeRs!”
GOP on literally anything else: “Ram through that legislation. There needs to be laws on the books NOW and we need to start arresting children and women for thinking they know their own bodies and minds!”
Christians keep preaching that their way of life is what made people safe. Their "family values & moral value of life" bull. That if we all just gave into their narrow way of thinking, that all issues would magically solve themselves.
It's as if the crusades, inquisition, Salem witch trials, and religious imperialism for the last 2000 years were perpetrated by people other than them. What could be the common denominator within a nationwide network of liars?
