Excerpts from Lauren Boebert’s forthcoming book on American history. [A ridiculously long thread]
God told Columbus that he needed to go on a vacation. Columbus built an ark and loaded all the animals of Europe on it. Except the unicorns. The unicorns were too gay.
God, however, knew that Columbus was a coward, so he invented a story about how he could get to China by sailing west.
Columbus wasn’t very good at geography, but he was good at following directions. When his trip to China was inconveniently blocked by a whole continent,
Columbus realized that God works in mysterious ways. He unloaded all those animals in Florida and they spread out over all of North America.
When he encountered other humans, at first he was troubled. Whoa, he said. There are other human here! When he knocked on the doors to
their huts to share the joyous news that their souls were finally ready to be saved, he was shocked that they did not speak English. Columbus didn’t speak English either, but he was taking classes.
Columbus planted the American flag in the holy soil of North America and
said, “It is good.”
Years later, The Chosen Orange One would live on that site. Proof that God loves America, and Florida in particular.
Then a bunch of other stuff happened.
Somebody discovered Africa and said, whoa, these people deserve better lives! We must show
them America! Happy white warriors that they were, they offered free passage to America. To protect them from unexpected turbulence, they invented the first seat belts, made of iron, but nylon hadn’t been invented yet.
When they got to America, the happy white warriors realized that the Africans couldn’t speak English either! Why didn’t they disclose that before they accepted their free trip to America?
Early on, the happy white warriors realized that once people heard what a magical place
America was, everyone would try to get in. So, an enterprising ancestor named Rump built a wall with turnstiles so these tourists could pay their way in. And it was good. Rump became known as the Rump, and it was shortened to tRump by his many admirers.
Then a bunch of other stuff happened. And in a moment of weakness, Americans elected Democrats into office, and the wall fell into disrepair. And people whose ancestors couldn’t speak English thought they should vote! Of course God smote them. There might have been
collateral damage, but hey, God, ya know.
There was a collective sigh of relief when guns were invented by an enterprising young Republican named AR. Really, his name was Samuel, but he was a pirate and said Arrrrr a lot, so he got a nickname.
These days, everyone who’s anyone has at least one gun, and God has subcontracted the smiting business to those who remember his name as they fire their weapons or who call his name out in religious or sexual ecstasy.
And this is why America is the greatest country on earth. Unlimited smiting! Guns for those who matter!

Is it time for the Friday edition of the #BoebertReportCard? Yes, it is!
16 tweets from her campaign account, 2 from her official account! What productivity!
By my calculations, the average cost per tweet so far this month is $37.83. What value for the money! (Thread)
It appears that the “happy warrior” did not have a happy day. Her tone was angry again today, even though “Life is too short to always be angry.”
We see that Cuba has moved up in the leader board, #5 following Word Salad, Democrats, COVID, and Biden. Just a few short days ago, she didn’t even know where Cuba was! What a scholar!
So here’s your #BoebertReportCard for Thursday July 15. I need a day away from her bile, so you get it early. Lauren tweeted only eight times. About Denver. About Cuba. About guns. About those pesky Democrats. But nothing about her district or anything in it.
Oh, and anger. I’ve been subjecting myself to the horror of her tweets for months, and this is the most egregious and unabashedly ironic one I’ve seen. The angriest member of the House said, “Life’s too short to always be angry. Let’s be happy warriors for Jesus and happy
warriors for Freedom.” Wow.
Well, we hope she has a chance to work on her anger management issues as she jets off to Florida again. Still waiting on FEC filings so we can see how many of her 2nd quarter excursions were paid for by her voluntary donors and how many by Uncle Sam.
Since @AOC is too polite to ever humiliate @RepBoebert in an actual debate, here's a couple of videos to highlight the differences...
Here's AOC's video summarizing her accomplishments in her first term. Articulate, intelligent, and focused. Really, you need to watch this to see what a Rep can be like.
Pretty quiet on today’s #BoebertReportCard. She only tweeted 7 times yesterday, and four of those were about Cuba. Nothing about Colorado. It’s like she’s not even trying.
Maybe she’s practicing her speech for this weekend at TPUSA in Tampa. For those having a hard time keeping up, that’ll be her fifth trip to Florida this year.
I learned that the TP in TPUSA does not stand for Toilet Paper. But it could. Oh, and she made her fourth grift tweet in as many days. Those Florida trips ain’t gonna pay for themselves, folks.
