Mrs Boebert please stop trying to blow the judge!

19 over? There are headlines about going 19 over?
Yeah. Republican senators usually do under 18.
I think there’s something about 20+ over you lose your license, so I bet the cop was cutting her a little slack by reducing it to be under that limit
+25 over is considered reckless driving in most states and can get you an insta-trip to jail.
There's a VERY non-zero chance that Boe was caught going much much faster and the cop reduced it.
Weird how I get flashbacks from that Harvey Keitel movie where he plays a crooked detective that gets a blowjob during a traffic stop.
There was an impeachment over a blowjob.
Well, to be fair, he was impeached for lying under oath and obstruction of justice…
Wasn't the original investigation about real estate?
Controversy over real estate was involved somewhere in the Clinton administration (the Whitewater scandal iirc), but I believe the articles of impeachment were issued over perjury committed while making statements under oath about his relationship with Lewinsky during some sexual harassment lawsuit/investigation.
So the articles of impeachment were drawn up after Clinton lied during a deposition during pretrial discovery for a sexual harassment case brought upon Clinton by Paula Jones.
The reason why Lewinsky was even brought up was because she was mentioned in the Starr report which was a report prepared for the house judiciary committee by independent counsel Ken Starr.
Ken Starr was appointed by Janet Reno, I think, originally to investigate the Clinton's dealings with the Whitewater Land Company.
So if you connect all the red string the investigation was a real estate one that led to him lying about a blowjob.
It was a political witch hunt. Iirc there wasn't anything wrong with the whitewater deal but they went ahead and paid the few thousand in taxes anyway
Right, right. Why did reading that fill me with despair? Like, I just want some measure of justice served against the orange fascist.
I’m not sure… he was acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial, which is what happened to Trump (both times), and then the whole thing just faded into obscurity…
I just mean any justice? Like he just filed to have the hush money case dismissed due to the supreme court ruling.
We’ll see. Hopefully there’s no standing b/c it’s a State criminal case.
A guys presidential campaign ended because he said "yeeeawww" funny
Look, Bill didn't inhale, and Monica didn't swallow...
For a politician, sure.
In the mountains? Yeah. That's dangerous anywhere, but there are plenty of places on I-70 where that can get you killed real quick. Lots of curves and steep drop-offs. Not to mention that not paying the ticket is just another example of her being a dumbass who thinks the rules don't apply to her.
I'm calling it now: she's gonna claim she's immune due to the Speech and Debate Clause (even if the speeding had nothing whatsoever to do with traveling to/from Congress) and some dipshit MAGA judge is gonna buy it.
In Atlanta I think you'd get pulled over for going too slow.
Same with Metro Detroit; if you aren't 15 above, you will be passed
Republicans LOVE this Behavior (she WON her Primary!)!
Why does it always look like the skin on her chin is being stretched too tightly over her jaw bone?
Surely the woman’s appearance is the least offensive thing about her?
btw did see some extra available for a limited time
Boebert getting a court date wondering whether to give the judge a tugjob during the proceedings or recess.
