My favorite part of this scandal is that for her entire life people around her will be whispering "Beetlejuice" around her.

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

That's her new nickname. The only one fit to take the crown name from the Beetlejuice on Howard Stern.

Oh, I how I want that to be true - like the Stern fans yelling Bababooey - every time Qbert shows up, if people would just shout Beetlejuice at her.....LOL.

Oh, and the whispering would be hilarious, too.

Legend has it that if you say “Beetlejuice” three times, she magically appears to jerk you off.

I'd you say it "Beetlejuice" times at a theater she appears and molests you.

I love the euphemisms and the passive voice:

"What happened in her personal life is unfortunate, but at the end of the day, it has no bearing on her legislating..."

Oh, it just happened in her personal life.

Boebert was escorted out of the Buell Theatre on Sept. 10 after patrons around her at the “Beetlejuice” musical complained she was vaping, recording the show on her phone and otherwise being disruptive.

(emphasis mine)

Oh, then, finally:

The video also showed groping between her and a male companion at the theater.

LOL, "male companion". Hm. Meaning Quinn Gallagher?

Voters in Colorado's third district willingly voted for her after seeing what she was during her first term. Now, Lauren Boebert is even more of an international embarrassment than she was during her first term.

This is who those voters doubled down on.

Much of the richly deserved public shaming that Boebert is getting, should be shared by those who voted for her.

Idk if you remember, but she won by a super narrow margin, which is honestly a good sign. Maybe this is enough to tilt it against her in the next one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

The vote was pretty close, though. Hopefully, this is enough to make the difference.

Third District voter assessment: “What happened? Well is she still racist? Can I keep using Jesus too hate the LGBTQ community? Will she still support my right to stockpile dozens of assault weapons for the day I finally snap and decide to go through with my mass-shooting plan? Does she still love our Lord and Savior President Donald Trump, Son of God, King of Kings? Yes? So what’s the problem supposed to be, again?”

I am sure some of her fanbois that keep telling me she's hawt are thinking they have a chance to get that handy if they vote for her.

People that vote for someone based on their appearances are....very stupid.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

But she was such a beneficent influence up until that point...

Ah yes the infamous exhibitionist known as Lauren “Beetlejuice” Boebert!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

We call her Lauren "BJ" Boebert for short
