Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.
“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.
“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale,” she continued.
Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.
Just when I thought I couldn’t like Ryan Reynolds any better.
Can Ryan Reynolds legally donate to a political campaign? I thought he was Canadian and only US citizens can donate money to political campaigns.
He is a US citizen since 2018.
Dual citizenship exists.
Lemme get this straight: Her main complaint is when democrats are rich enough to pull the same shit as a Republican when buying power?
Boebert was literally a stripper recommended to office via cock sucking.
Anything she says is worth less than dog shit.

Specifically I’m not discounting her for being a stripper as much as I am the cock-based nepotism involved in her acquiring her current position.
If she actually had a decent thought in her brain, her past wouldn’t matter, however, her sucking cock is why she got the job, not because she actually was qualified for it.
A stripper or adult entertainer can be qualified for the job if she or he has the mental faculties to actually reflect on and try to improve the situation of their constituents, but that’s not what she’s doing nor what she was put in her position for.
it’s going to be interesting when blaming Streisand effect …triggers the Streisand effect and even more people discover just how dumb she is. because by bitching about… well you understand.
What it could do is show rich educated Democrats that they can accomplish something when they donate and show up
I’m looking at you, people who are hard headed and tech savvy enough to navigate the fediverse.
uhh those conservative democrats like everything exactly the way it is, which is why the struggle so hard to conserve it by not actually accomplishing much… ya know, like when obama and clinton took a giant dump all over bernie and then wondered why they lost.
democrats are still playing the old, conservation game. republicans have moved on to straight what-can-we-get-away-with-fascism
and that leaves the general american public and the actually terrible ‘economy’ with fucking nothing.
You mean like get Biden reelected so nothing “changes” and we continue this slow slide into fascism?
Centrist democrats are the new conservatives. Republicans have shifted into regressionists- which is why they’re so concerned with deregulation and controlling women’s bodies, etc.
It’s either that or Trump, which is basically just a full swan-dive into fascism. Is there another viable path?
All this really does is just lower the bar for future candidates. If every vote is either fascism or the current state of affairs, fascism is eventually going to win due to apathy
Nothing changes? Are you insane or just a cynical jackass? Have you even been paying attention?
yeah. have you been paying attention?
- Economy sucks for average americans. While the economy is “strong”… that’s not translating to gains for normal people. that’s all going straight to record profit and fat bonuses. the trend of increasing numbers of americans living pay check to paycheck has only increased- and indeed accelerated- under Biden’s policies. While the fundamental causes are not his fault, per se, and there’s limits on what a president can do… the fact is, he keeps trotting this out as a good thing, and he’s full of shit. Suffice it to say, he’s not done enough.
- He’s done more harm to stalling climate change than good. He personally made the decision to allow the Willow Project to go forward, for example. Under his leadership, Oil production is reaching record setting highs… and he’s released more oil from the strategic reserve than all other presidents combined. (and before you trot out the BBP stuff, realize that most of that is tax breaks for things corporations were going to do anyhow, or subsidizing EV’s so manufacturers like tesla could get away with selling cars that are substantially overpriced… aka corporate profits. same goes for the jump to 40% renewable energy… that’s not anything he’s done, specifically.)
- fascism is increasingly on the rise. We have a bonafide insurrectionist *who almost succedded in over throwing Biden’s presidency… still free. it took Biden’s administration over two and a half years to get extremely sensitive secrets back… and they’re still missing some of the most sensitive secrets. it took over two years for them to finally get a proper investigation, nearly three years for them to start indictments on things we all knew were crimes.
- Civil Liberties… are being attacked and he’s sitting around with his thumb up his ass. Abortion, LGBTQ rights, education. On a federal level, he’s done fuck all to defend it. most of the gains (for example, Ohio) are being won despite his leadership.
- equality in criminal justice is still massive problem. I don’t think I’ve seen fuck all from that. his adminstration doesn’t seem to have cared so much, except in token gestures- that while meaningful to the people they help, could have been done on day one. (the mass pardon of pot charges, for example,)
- similarly, he could have ordered DoJ to focus on white collar/corporate crimes, as well as going after domestic terrorism. before they get to shoot up election polling places next year…
Right, fascism is all the fault of Democrats and not the fascists. /s
Did… I say that it was?
No. I didn’t.
I may not have explicitly said this… but the point that you clearly are either ignoring (my assumption) or just didn’t get… is that Biden is not doing enough to stop fascism. which is why, under his leadership the US is continuing to slide to fascism.
You don’t win fights- be they full on battles, street brawls, or figurative fights- simply with falling back and staying defensive. if you want to win- if you want to defeat fascism- you’re going to have to hit back. in politics, this means going to the opposite end, that is to say, by pushing progressive policies over the regressive policies of the fascists.

This is referred to as the Streisand Paradox, wherein one blames Barbra Streisand for something, thereby triggering the Streisand Effect. 
This is different, of course, than mentioning Streisand and Cloony together, which produces The Perfect Streistorm.

Ah, so pouring money into a district is only bad when it doesn’t favor you?
Who paid for your campaigns?
Russians and racists and Nationalist Christians
Oh my
So that makes the Nationalist Christians… checks notes… Bears.
I’m unsure of who to Beetlejuice here: Takei or Tormund. 🤪
Is her plan to move to a district outside of the jurisdiction of citizens united?
Isn’t that some form of irony too? Complaining about people getting involved in elections outside of the area they live… And then running in a different district? Fucking carpetbagger.
Really? She’s calling out Barbara Streisand and Ryan Reynolds? Has Streisand or Reynolds given a guy a handy in a crowded theater with children in view? Well, Reynolds maybe, but Babs is pure!
Wait. She’s from California??? I thought she’d be from like, somewhere not there.
It isn’t just Hollywood.
If she doesn’t like it then her party shouldn’t have blocked H.R.1 For the People Act which would have restricted campaign finances and lobbying.
The Mint Mobile SuperPAC took her down by donating a rounding error amount of money. Will the foreign meddling in American politics ever cease?!

It’s totally dark money and not the fact that she’s a total rube
Also, so donations are ok if they’re for Republicans but not for Democrats? MmHmm.
Today I will blame Chris Evans and Aubrey Plaza for my sore triceps. Now who do I blame for me eating M&M’s for breakfast?
Bill Gates and the Rothschilds, of course. Duh…
Hershey’s
If you’re eating Hershe’s that’s a you problem.
Tell her Citizen’s United makes it possible for the “elites” to do this.
Genius move.
You’d probably end up having to explain citizens united to her during your handjob.
Her sandpapery lizard hand hj should be banned as cruel and unusual punishment by the UN if it hasn’t been already.
Ew, why would anyone jerk off Trollbert? Do you want wet leprosy?
