Am I the only one out of the loop? I don’t recognise anybody in this picture, and I don’t know what happened. All I can see is some guy waving a hand in front of someone with a very nice cleavage.
If you’re not a yank then you probably won’t know but basically one of their republican morons who shouts about trans people being a sexual danger to children and calling them rapists etc was caught having her very nice cleavage fondled in a theatre full of children.
It’s like when will good smart people learn there is no good/right side only common people with supportive good communities where we uplift positive attitudes and as long as no one is causing damage as in actual harm; mentally or physically to others then live and let live. Currently we are all part of an existential blob of shit. There shouldnt be sides.
When will good people learn there is no good side?
Also gave her bf a handjob through the pants and being disruptive.
Which like it’s a dark movie theater. Other than the talking during the movie, if it were any regular person I wouldn’t say shit.
So I trust that she’s been arrested, fired from her position in government and barred from returning, jailed, and put on the sex offender list for life right?
…right?
fondled in a theatre full of children.
Let’s not stoop to their (the right/GOP) level with the misinformation. While there may have been children present in the theater, most of the people there were adults.
There’s plenty enough wrong with what they were doing without trying to demonize them with additional lies.
Also it was Beetlejuice? That’s not exactly a clean show
I hate the “think about the children” line being applied to everything, even places where children aren’t expected. It’s such a pearl clutching tactic.
Do the semantics matter? It’s a public theater regardless.
You can’t demonize more if the situation is already bad. If you want a full sentence, then “fondled in a theater full of children and adults” which is equally as bad.
Exactly end of story.
The truth does matter, yes. We can’t sit around and complain about liars while also spreading misinformation.
“Full of kids” doesn’t mean all of them need to be kids.
Even 1 kid in the theatre is enough to not do sexual acts around. But even according to you there were a tons since only “most of the people were adults”.
Especially if she thinks people in drag are sexualising kids. Since that makes her a hypocrite.
Man, even if there were no kids there, that’s still not the place to do it. I’d have been there to see Beetlejuice, not to see the “beetle” get juiced.
And giving the guy a little hand action
Oh, and she’s a grandma. That’s not super important information, but you should know
Really? Did she have a kid when she was very young? She doesn’t look that old…
Edit: Okay, yeah she had her first child when she was 18. She’s 36 now and has 4 children.
Wow. If these replies are correct, I’m speechless
They are sadly.
The man she gave a jobby to also happens to own a pro LGBT club too despite her cries in public about it…
She’s not divorced yet, so an adulterer as well.
Bet she had sex before marriage with this guy as well
Imagine going to school the next week and all the other kids have heard about what your grandma did this time.
Somebody should really think about what this is doing to the children!
The guy she’s with is a democrat who owns a bar. The bar is lgbtq+ friendly and has hosted a drag show.
While tugging on the guy who was fondling her.
Everything these conservatives accuse others of is just projection
Boebert and her guy got kicked out of a theater for heavy petting.
If you do not know who she is – do yourself a favor and do not research it. Unless you are a voter in her district or you are a US citizen, then by all means, do it and make her go away.
Sorry, I wish I could help you with a vote. Don’t worry the comments here told me everything I needed to know…
Is she pregnant? She has a weird pooch

Boebert got kicked out of Beetlejuice because she and her date were
feeling upgroping each other.Also vaping while sitting inside in front of a pregnant woman. Also taking flash photo selfies during the show.
And that pregnant woman seemed so done with life, my condolences to her.
I’d be pretty pissed too if I had to sit behind Boebert
The weirdest thing was he was groping her like a man out of prison or an incel that’s finally got to touch a boob. What nasty nasty people.
I think my man was finding out live on tape that those things were fake.

Omg! I assumed this was years ago and was about the beetle juice movie from the 80s. I had no idea that it was so recent.
How does an elected official think they can do that and not get caught?

She’s a Republican. They think they can get away with anything.
They in fact do get away with everything.
All the news keeps talking about her vaping as though that’s the main problem here. Maybe don’t engage in sexual activities in public. Like, actual sexual activities such as fondling genitals. Not conservatives’ idea of sexual activities, which involves wearing skirts and makeup.
Wait what happened? I saw the vaping but what else did she do
She was caught on camera fondling a guy in the theater. It probably would have gone unnoticed if she hadn’t called attention to herself by disrupting the show, vaping, and then denying that she was vaping.
The main problem is that people in Colorado voted for her. Vaping is harmful and it’s a problem for her apparently and could potentially influence others. The pda stuff is icky but more of a social norms issue - so yeah, it’s next on the list. I’m still just utterly repulsed by the main problem though.
You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.
Wow, that’s a dismissive statement. So because this district isn’t Denver they don’t count as the people of Colorado? We have a diverse mix of people here–yes some of the stereotypical rednecks, ranchers, and resource extraction jobs, but also artsy types, old hippies, organic farmers, civil service for the public lands, and many members of the local tribes. People have moved here from all over the country (and in some cases the world) with many different experiences and perspectives on life. Lumping them all together as voices that don’t matter doesn’t help anyone.
So because this district isn’t Denver they don’t count as the people of Colorado?
Correct. 1,000 people from a very specific region of a state are not representative of “the people” of that state.
1000 is quite the hyperbole.
And yet, their actual representation is giving everyone fits. Do you want to get rid of Boebert or not? You can double down on your statement but you won’t accomplish anything besides putting me in my place. The people of this region still vote and the way our government is set up means large cities don’t get to dictate everything. If that were the case NY and LA would be ruling Denver and they could claim to be the “real people” of the U.S.
Also, where are you getting the number 1,000? That is no where close to the number of people in her district, which is also geographically fairly large (yes, because of the lack of population density). You can be just as dismissive towards everything I’m saying if you don’t like it, but for those of you who have an interest in how Boebert and those of her ilk end up in government, I’m trying to give some insight into her district. Maybe it will be helpful to someone who cares.
The people of this region still vote and the way our government is set up means large cities don’t get to dictate everything
Quite the opposite. Pockets of people from nowhere have outsized control over our federal government. This isn’t a constitutional issue either, but an agreement Congress made to stop apportionment.
We broke our government and we should fix it.
How would you fix it? If you want to address issues like gerrymandering I’m in complete agreement. Or maybe you meant something else?
I can’t agree these areas count as “nowhere.” That’s where you lose people who might agree with some of your points. The local tribes have worked very hard to preserve their culture after their homelands were previously treated as “nowhere.” Can you not see that belittling people’s homes will make your goals that much harder? As much as you want to completely dismiss anyone outside your chosen sphere of existence, you are having to deal with their representative regardless of your personal opinion. Maybe someday you will get your dictatorship of the majority but that’s not how it works right now if you want to change things.
Feel free to dismiss this next part if you don’t care, but for those of you who would like to change areas like Boebert’s district I’ll make a few more points. Personally I think the politics of this region can be helped by better investment in education (my local school district is a mess), which can be helped with improved income levels so that tax money is there. I’d start with infrastructure to support that. High speed Internet would open up so many possibilities for people who can do skilled work remotely. The local Internet provider hasn’t invested in infrastructure for the past decade. Some cities have run fiber… But then the new houses aren’t actually hooked up to it??? This is an issue we are working on locally, but we are having a hard time even getting to these “luxuries” when we are battling poverty, drug use, and domestic violence. Some homes don’t even have electricity. COVID exasperated all of the existing issues here. Local crime and drug use statistics since 2020 paint a bleak picture.
I’m actually optimistic that the new free school lunch program will be a small step in the right direction. I think that’s an example of the sort of statewide program people can get behind to improve all of Colorado. Isn’t it better to lift people up than steamroll over them?
You don’t thing wanking people off in front of kids is a wee bit more than “problematic”?
I listed the problems in order. Why are you using quotations around words I didn’t even use?
Ok then, you don’t think wanking someone off in from of kids isn’t a bit more than “icky”?
TIL that an over the pants handjob is PDA.
I mean, it’s not not PDA lol
Lol, right. The main problem is the people who voted for her. Definitely worse than giving a handy in a theater full of children. /s
Like there weren’t warning signs before? She was even re-elected. Colorado is getting what they asked for with this idiot, and yeah, I kind of feel like they deserve it. The most foolish are the ones that didn’t even vote. I hate bad politicians, but if she betrayed your expectations you’re just not even remotely paying attention. Voters need to bear some of the responsibility for their own mistakes.
Most people have been a little frisky with their date in a movie theater. It’s what teenagers do when there’s nowhere else to go.
Definitely good behavior for a congresswoman who makes “ALL T PEOPLE ARE PEDOPHILES AND GROOMERS” her rallying cry.
But shes a grown ass woman, cant take it to the hotel
True, but I mean…I’m not going to throw stones when I’ve done similar.
You pulled down a grown woman’s dress in a theater, while vaping after being asked not to, let her give you an over the pants handie, while she sings loudly and waves her arms around, in front of kids?
All of this as a silly teenager? Stones ready, big boy.
Yes exactly. That’s exactly what I said I did. Word for word.
Can I get a video? Just for research… gross research. We’ve all probably acted a fool when younger but as an adult in a mixed environment you shouldn’t need to told to keep tits covered and not to touch genitals. That’s how you end up on a list.
True without question or dispute! But the fact that it happened doesn’t surprise or really outrage me at all. I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m excusing it. Someone in her position should not be doing things like this in public no matter how discrete they may have been.
But I’ve also worked in movie theaters, so I know for certain this is not uncommon behavior. Every person who works at a theater rotates between jobs, one of which is a theater checker. You’ve probably seen them come in sometimes with flashlights. And yeah…Forgot where I was going with that but I think you get it.

Wouldn’t this fit better in political memes?
Is Lemmy really that big that it honestly matters?
I also think you might be confused about what instance you’re on.
Keeping things in their respective communities does help people filter what they want to see.
I, for one, like to see “haha that’s funny” posts more than “oh look the bad guys are bad” posts, which is why I peruse this community and not political memes.
I’m not trying to minimod and create rules that don’t exist in the community, though. I’m just expressing my opinion. You don’t have to listen.
Also, what does this have to do with instance? Nothing’s stopping you from posting on another instance’s community, right? Federation is nice like that. Or did you mean that lemmy.ml is a political instance? If so, I didn’t know that.
It is fundamentally a communist instance. The reason people are annoyed at you is that you want a “politics” free experience but rather than make the effort to curate what you expose yourself to you’re just wandering into places and insisting they be what you want.
It’s a shame because this is still the biggest meme community in the fediverse. There have been more non-political memes here in the past 2 hours than the next two general meme communities combined had in the past 12 hours.
If people who don’t like lemmy.ml’s meme community because it serves lemmy.ml’s community rather than their own personal preferences just hung out at a more generic meme community (like one at lemmy.world or lemm.ee) instead of whinging then that would soon change. You are the architects of your own issues.
Just scroll past it, its not hard. Lemmy is already struggling with content, we don’t need people feeling some type of way about how it’s posted.
I mentioned instance because they’re from Lemm.ee and the community they are referencing isn’t a relevant thing on the instance where they’re commenting and where this is posted.
Lemmy is already struggling with content
People not being able to filter their content is just going to cause users to leave, making the issue worse. If I wanted to be bombarded by political virtue signalling I’d just go back to Twitter.

I always thought .ml meant or implied Marxism-Leninism. The site I’m viewing this from, hexbear.net, is basically a community of Marxist-Leninists. It’s virtually all politics.
Not necessarily fully political and partisan, but there are political undertones at least here.
It technically means Mali.
Still, even with such a meaning, taking it at face value, the name refers to one of those anti-western countries the west considers failed and “ebil”, so to speak… so that kinda defines Lemmy’s community.
Technically correct. What I’ve read on the web in a few places is that the devs that created Lemmy chose the TLD because they were MLs.
I’m going to start blocking you little babies complaining about stuff being political. Good lord you people need to grow up.
This incident caused a sarcastic struggle session on over the pants rubbing and wether that is still a hand job.

Wasn’t the trouble some people had with the drag queen shows the dances? I don’t know the situation in the US(?), but that’s what some people disliked about some of the shows in Germany.
Here is a video of one of these shows that was a program for kindergarden kids: https://youtu.be/p2zsZHb_Y7E?feature=shared
It’s dishonest to leave it out of the discussion when people didn’t have a problem with the clothing in the first place.
I am no pro in pedagogy or whatever. Not sure if that’s super harmful or whatever tale the alt right tried to spin. But it’s definitely not just some people with a cleavage or other types of sexy clothes.
Slow down there, you’ll get a speeding ticket moving the goal post that fast.
