The Boebert Thread

I thought she deserved her own thread.  Kimmel had a great Boebert bit on last week:


Damn! 

That is something.

I didn't know who she was so I read the Wikipedia page on her. The following stood out.

"In 2017, 80 people who attended a Garfield County fair became ill from food poisoning after eating pork sliders from a temporary location set up by Shooters Grill and Smokehouse 1776. They did not have the required permits to operate the temporary location, and the Garfield County health department determined that the outbreak was caused by unsafe food handling at the event"

It is common place these days for Republican elected officials to enact health regulations that kill their constituents but she was poisoning them even BEFORE she got into office.  No wonder she is a rising star!



Thug Life 


She's a real piece o'work. 

Note that this is the kind of "humor" that Republicans seem to love.


It is important to note that Representative Boebert is from Colorado and the Christmas card shows kids holding assault rifles.   The Columbine HS massacre was about twenty years ago in Colorado.  So she and/or the Repubs in Colorado are totally tone-deaf or worse.   If I was a Dem running against her, this card would be a major campaign issue.

Also, there was a Kentucky HS attack killing two and injuring 18 just two years ago.   So sad that Repubs put guns ahead of kids.  


Did you know she owns a restaurant in Rifle, Colorado called Shooter's Grill where all employees are armed?

These two US House of Representatives have said a lot of outrageous things, but the Christmas photos are the worst.   I am thinking of writing them to complain even though they are not in my state or district.  The photos are very upsetting to me and far beyond the usual Dem vs Repub harsh debates.

The food at Shooters is more dangerous than the armed employees, however.

Editorial: County dodged a bullet on food poisoning | PostIndependent.com

Our open records request and follow-up found that pulled pork sliders served by Shooters Grill, “the only temporary food vendor reported to be present at the rodeo,” was blamed for the sickness. The pork was smoked at Smokehouse 1776, which has common ownership with Shooters in downtown Rifle.

The county’s final county report said, “36 of 38 who reported eating sliders became ill; all 36 of those ill reported eating sliders, suggesting the sliders as the most likely culprit.” In addition, “100 percent of those interviewed with diarrhea ate pork sliders.”

These Christmas photos go beyond the outrageous barbs that the Dems and Repubs throw at each other.  I do not often call things evil but in this case, the photos are a result of evil thinking.  They are not funny or entertaining.  The guns shown are not kids' toy guns that we all probably played with.  There is a lot more I could add, but I hope you get my point.

We get your point. The Gun Nuts will not. To them people like us are trying to take away their guns to take away their Freedom and the cards are a celebration of Freedom.

The only criticism that might have an effect is that Christmas is supposed to celebrate the Prince of Peace. I know that even though my Religion celebrates a military victory at Hanukah.


StanV, do you think we can do some great work for world peace by doing more to somehow spread the word that the domestic terrorism underpinning Hanukkah was based on a woman and her yummy homemade cheese?? oh oh

(Probably an ancient version of halloumi served with homemade retsina)


The food at ‘shooters’ is probably so terrible that the only cards they accept are blue cross/blue shield, Medicaid or your cvs card. Sounds like a terrific experience.

38 of her constituents poisoned.  Who's the real terrorist?
