Report: Boebert’s Comms Director Is Resigning After Capitol Attack | Talking Points Memo

Good! Maybe if enough of the support staff for these paper cut-out congress critters leaves them, their mistakes and criminal behavior will be easier to spot.

:joy: :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:

Why stop at ranges? Go to the source: fondling ammunition in bed every night will :100:% “lead to lead” poisoning.

(See what I did there?)

Favorite comment in the thread: “She may be less well read.”

The majority of Congressional staffers in DC are there in professional capacities and move fluidly between offices, then they’re in the middle of an insurrection because part of the elected class wants to cannibalize itself. It must be bizarre to see a boss go so far off the deep end there’s no recovering from it (hopefully).

Seems as if the ‘Lauren Boebert’s Mom’ theory as pink hat/megaphone-direction insurrectionist is being dispelled. Lawrence Tribe has since deleted the supporting tweet from his feed.

Seems it actually is better to confirm than be the first.

While I couldn’t find a specific source for the quote, there’s an old chestnut among politicos that goes something like this, “if these elected officials scare you, you should see the folks who voted for them!”

Coming from Jokelahoma, as I do, I can certainly attest to the sentiment.

I read her biography.

I keep thinking of Lorena Bobbit.

Much lesser, and due to residue on extremities, rather than inhalation (the bigger concern with indoors - à la COVID-19.)

Um, my current Rep. is a guy who has a “degree” from the Don Shear Real Estate school and has the IQ of a rock. Fred Keller, mindless follower of the Sedition Caucus. But he has an R after his name so he gets the votes.

What did he think he was signing up for?

Say what you want about Boebert, there is no mystery about where she stands.

And this guy is a long time DC political pro, so naiveté doesn’t fly either.

He could have given the tour – because he knows much more about the Capitol than his former boss does – but that doesn’t make him complicit in any ulterior motives a member of his tour may have had.

It really looks bad, however.

Apparently, Trump staffers are taking money from people lobbying for pardons. Watching on Weekends with Alex Witt and the expert she’s speaking with says that while it’s illegal for Trump himself to take money for that, those around him can take whatever they can grift.

The voters that elected Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Greene chose drama queens for their districts. The actual work of being a congressional rep is boring and would interfere with their performances

Yup. Some Dylan comes to mind.

You just want to be on / the side that’s winning…

So how good are these ‘types’ at washing their hands?

So you agree she had her staff lead the insurrrectionists around the Capitol the day before or is that still a mystery? Also bit of a question is which direction she would have shot had she been on the floor.
