For today’s #boebertreportcard, let’s look at the seven resolutions Chucklehead was bragging about as “accomplishments” this weekend. (A thread)
1 Cosponsor: Doug Lamborn, R-CO
This is a House Resolution, with no enforcement mechanism. If passed, it basically says, “We want the USS Pueblo back.” Which has been US policy since the ship was captured by North Korea in 1968.
11 Cosponsors, mostly members of the Freedumb Caucus. This is another House Resolution with no binding power, just a lot of whereas paragraphs.
0 cosponsors. She submitted this when she thought her predecessor was keeping case files a secret from her. (He didn’t.) It would set a dangerous precedent in that confidential data a constituent requested help with could become available to any member of the House, friend or foe
24 Cosponsors. Another House-only resolution. This one calls on the President to remove and replace Alejandro Mayorkas as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. It also has a bunch of “whereas” grievances.
2 cosponsors. Rep. Ralph Norman, [R-SC-5] and Rep. Bob Good, [R-VA-5]. A resolution to begin impeachment proceedings against the VP for supporting the Pres. in withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. It also lists failure to invoke the 25th Amendment as cause for her dismissal.
6 cosponsors. Biggs [R-AZ-5], Duncan [R-SC-3], Norman [R-SC-5], Gohmert [R-TX-1], Hice [R-GA-10], Good [R-VA-5]. A resolution to impeach the President for being a bad Commander in Chief during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. The charge is “giving aid and comfort to our enemies.”
And finally, the only resolution of hers for both the House and Senate. 20 cosponsors on this resolution calling for the removal of retired Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, U.S. Army, from his interim role investigating the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. It also
urges the Speaker of the House of Representatives to appoint a nonpartisan, bicameral panel of former Members of Congress, law enforcement officials, and military servicemen to investigate those events. Lt. Gen. Honoré completed the report the same month this ridiculous
resolution was introduced.

And why was it introduced? Because the General tweeted “mean” (and in my opinion, honest) things about various Senators and Representatives.

And who were the cosponsors?
And that’s it. Lots of fluff. No substance. Which is no surprise.

Chucklehead @repboebert posted her “by the numbers” self-assessment yesterday. Let’s use this edition of the #boebertreportcard to look at those numbers.
20,168 Calls with your Congresswoman

One wonders if this includes all the voicemails from us unhappy constituents? From a sheer numbers perspective this one doesn’t add up. If she worked 362 days in 2021 (she didn’t) that’d be over 55 calls a day. Maybe she means with her staff.
62 Mobile Office Hours

Now this sounds like she made herself available, but no. These “mobile office hours” involve her taxpayer funded staff going to places in the district, usually for an hour at a time, then packing up and moving on to the next place.

The Monday #BoebertReportCard.

Only 12 tweets from Chucklehead this weekend, and (spoiler) none of them were about Colorado.

She was annoyed that she was accurately portrayed as a dimwit on Saturday Night Live.

She had a lot to say about CNN.

She gushed over FL’s gov.
And of course, there was her famous tweet with “enlies.”

Ostensibly, it showed her concern for missing children, but beyond the bastardization of words, it had entirely misleading numbers.

If Chucklehead were actually interested in helping, she’d
start with understanding the numbers. The FBI provides a lot of data on this at fbi.gov/file-repositor…

A long #BoebertReportCard today. There have been a lot of votes in the House.

The Durango Herald had an editorial that mentioned how Boebert has been busy metaphorically extending her middle finger rather than representing her constituents, and that middle finger had a rigorous ImageImage
workout over the last couple of days.

She gave a middle finger to Indigenous Peoples by votinng no on the Indian Buffalo Management Act. Also on the Agua Calinete Land Exchange Fee to Trust Confirmation Act. And another middle finger on the To amend title VI of the Social
Security Act to extend the coverage of Coronavirus Relief Fund payments to Tribal Governments.

She gave a big middle finger to those dealing with opioid addictions by voting no on the Synthetic Opiod Danger Awareness Act. She was one of only 14 to vote against it. Oh, and

I’ll be brief in today’s #BoebertReportCard.

Lauren had a busy tweeting weekend! 33 tweets. Few were memorable. Mostly empty platitudes and anger about Joe Biden. Seems she’s all done with Afghanistan and is back to immigration as her go to topic.
She got back from Texas; oh how she loves it there. I did a long thread on her new Texas bestie from the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Jenny Cudd. I think they’d make good cellmates. If you missed it, you can find that here:
She spoke in Texas at something called the Patriot Academy, founded by Rick Green. Located in Dripping Springs (that’s not satire) It promises to indoctrinate,

Rep @LaurenBoebert’s entire term could have been an email. A poorly worded, with lots of typos and emojis, misspelled email.

I have previously mocked @RepBoebert’s legislative prowess, so I thought we’d take a look at some of her other bold (a ridiculously long thread)
actions as documented in her press releases.

We begin our journey on Jan 4, the day after she was sworn in. A number of Democrats sought to restrict guns on the entire Capitol campus in the Rules package. What did Lauren do? “Lauren Boebert wrote and led a letter…”
Jan 14, a fellow legislator said he’d seen “someone” leading tours in the US Capitol. Boebert assumed he meant her, and “…U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) sent a letter to U.S. Representative Sean Patrick (NY-18) Maloney.”
