Sigh. Her star is falling and she needs the publicity to stay relevant. I think she got booted out of some Nazi caucus or such. This "incident" was planned and she is getting what she wants. Indian chuds on /pol/ have a mummy fetish for her.

I think it was the other Psycho Barby that got booted out of the Nazi caucus.

Maybe her "values" require a happy ending.

The author misunderstood her actual statement because of her slurring. What she actually said was, "I simply fell short on my vape-juice".

Where's the OnlyFans, Lauren, I'm like 80% sure you've got one somewhere

“…fell short of ~~hiding my real~~ values.”

How does one fall short of nothing?

Politicians poor behavior is always swept under the rug. We should demand better behavior from all elected officials.

Where's the porn actress equivalent for her, like Sarah Palin had?

“Everywhere that I go people are having a hard time buying groceries, affording gas, getting to work, paying for their child care, affording the homes that they live in— or the homes that they would like to live in. We have got to get the spending under control in Washington, D.C.”

What does any of that have to do with tightening spending in Washington DC? How will tightening spending help any of that?

This twat regrets nothing.

How can she fall short of something she doesn't have?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Jacking a guy off in a theater is just short.

I would assume a republican apologizing is problematic to the party.

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

Her values where in that guys pants and people wouldn't even give her a chance to find them.
