Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert's wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of "Beetlejuice" the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert's exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

"Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as 'threats to children,'" writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

Why hasn't she been arrested for public nudity, sex acts in public, and all the upgrades for committing these crimes in front of minor children?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago

Everyone should start calling her a groomer I think. Just like everyone should refer to Gaetz as Groomer Gaetz.

They absolutely hate it when you turn their terms around on them.

Peewee was arrested for less and he was in a fucking porno theater for fuck sakes …. Arrest this bitch.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If there's hard evidence of this then she would probably be put on the sex offender's list wouldn't she?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

There's a video in the link.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Well by certain new laws a child was present within a few feet. The woman behind them was pregnant. Such exposure to a child so young... so egregious.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I mean yea, why hasn't she been though? If this was an adults only show I would still think this is bad but not that serious. While children are around though that is a really bad thing to do and they should definitely face legal consequences.

If someone who wasn't a congressional representative did that they would surely go to prison right, and maybe put on that register for people who need to stay a certain distance away from schools and such?

If she was a man she’d have been arrested already and publicly shamed as a pervert. They’d also question whether any of it was consensual.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She is being shamed publicly as a pervert, that's what we're all doing right now and what these news sites are doing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but is she paying any cost for it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No, which I think is more to do with having political power. Afterall there was two people that were committing this crime simultaneously so in this case it's not a good argument to say it's because she's a woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The person she was with started it by grabbing her tits for a while. So, probably not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Franken was made to step down for posing to pretend to grab some boobage; Qbert has actual grope session with children present and still has her job - for now anyway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

She was doing this with a man, and he wasn't arrested

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Point to the nudity, there's none in the linked footage

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

She has her tits out lol.
