What a busy weekend Lauren had! There was performative patriotism. There was a family emergency that cancelled one event, but luckily it was magically resolved in time for another campaign event the
same day, and still she had time to tune into #tfg’s rally in a pasture in Alabama and quote a vulgar line.
A little grifting, warning of how Democrats are destroying this fine country. Outrage that the import of Russian ammunition is going to be blocked in September. And of
course, the obligatory anti-immigrant tweet.
Later today, I’ll be posting the first part of the #LaurenBoebertLies summary. Happy Monday, y’all, especially those who aren’t
compulsive liars.
498 days to the end of blathering Boebert’s term.
442 days to Election 2022.
Dear Democratic Senators and Representatives,
I say this with love in my heart, but y’all need to get moving. The electorate has moved heaven and earth (and Georgia) to bring you to power. We did that because we believed you will lead, restore justice, and return sanity to the
political landscape.
You’ve done some of that. Thank you. You need to do more. It is not enough to announce investigations; you must investigate and publicly announce the results of those investigations.
We need you to worry less about “messaging.” We’ve heard all the talk we
need to hear. Now we need action.
We need you to spend less time reacting to whatever the GQP tries to frame as a crisis and more time acting.
You need to act on women’s healthcare choices. You need to restore voting rights. You need to get moving on the January
A special edition of the #BoebertReportCard! Time to take a look at @RepBoebert’s legislative effectiveness. These are the bills she’s introduced since taking office in January. Now in fairness, the House of Representatives currently has a Democratic majority, so [thread]
she’d have to do something like reach across the aisle to get anything passed, and we all know she’d rather shout across the aisle, but even more telling is how few of her fellow Republicans she can round up as cosponsors. [Narrator’s voice: not many].
To put this into perspective, the House currently has 432 members with 3 vacancies; 220 Democrats and 212 Republicans. In order to get a simple majority, a bill or resolution needs 217 votes (until at least two of the vacancies are filled, then it moves up to 218).
It seems like it was only yesterday (Narrator's voice, it was yesterday) that @RepBoebert tweeted "You can’t rewrite history by simply lying!" Now Lauren's trying to delete all evidence of her stupid tweet this morning. But we won't let her forget, will we? Samuel Adams, not John
Also, some fine work was done with this meme... we must not lose it
Lauren’s favorite video of herself is with a life-size cardboard cutout of Kamala Harris. It must be, because she’s had it pinned on her @RepBoebert page since June 8. The joke is, much of her own life is a
cardboard invention.
She lies about her parentage. She said her mom was “divorced” while they were in Florida, but there’s no record of her mom being married or divorced in Florida.
But her lineage IS kinda interesting. Her mother tried suing Stan Lee the wrestler for child
support. The story gets weirder when the paternity tests came back negative, and weirder still when it turns out the woman who did the paternity test had a history of faking them. And there are court records in this reporting that include her birth certificate, which leads
What's in a name? I grew up hating my first name and I never knew why I got it. Leland. From the Teutonic, it means of or from the meadow land. Once I found that out, I hated it less. The mailman's first name was Leland. A neighbor also had the name. The barber in a nearby town.
Almost no one spells it right the first time. Leyland. Leeland. Lealand. Leighland. And when I worked in a call center, customers called me Leonard, Waylon, Leon, and a few other names.
But I fell in love with my name when I found out it was the middle name of one of my heroes:
Today’s #BoebertReportCard is a long one, so pour yourself a cup of coffee. Lauren didn’t have a good day yesterday. (Thread)
It started off with her campaign receiving a letter from the Federal Elections Commission. They noticed the Venmo payments from her campaign. They
noticed her numbers didn’t add up on contributions and expenditures (the individual amounts added up to a different number than she showed on her summary page). They noticed multiple donations over the legal amount.
Then her overdue Financial Disclosure hit the House Clerk’s website. She signed it only Tuesday, though it was due Friday.
And just like that, we learned that her husband is making upwards of $400K a year, working for a company she identified as Terra Energy Productions, but
